Your Venue

Last updated: November 15, 2017

Evessio advises that every Company has suitable insurances in place before providing their Awards, Conference and Exhibition and related services to potential Attendees. We strongly encourage all Companies to review and understand the terms of their insurance policy and what it covers and does not cover.

Evessio advises Companies to checks their insurance policy. In the unlikely event that an Attendee may damage the space or anything in the space. It is often the case that the Company and Attendee can resolve issues on their own. If you and your Attendee are unable to come to a resolution, we recommend that you file a police report. In an emergency situation, a Company representative should always contact the police, emergency personnel or the proper authorities first within 24 hours. Gather as much documentation as possible including photos, receipts, police report, and any other documentation that proves ownership, damage, and estimates the fair market value of items damaged.

Evessio advises Companies to check their Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions for every website they host on Evessio to ensure if has the relevant information for each event.

Fee Structure and Invoicing

Last updated: May 31, 2022

Fee structure

• Please refer to your individual offer and agreement.

Invoicing

• Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date.
• We only accept bank transfer and no longer accept cheques.
• Any errors on the invoice must be reported within 2 days of receipt of the invoice. Any errors reported after 2 days can and will be amended, however, we will not change the original invoice date.

Late payment

• All businesses have a right to charge other business customers and public sector organisations interest on late payments.
• Unless agreed otherwise, the law states that payment must be received “within 30 days of the invoice date”.

What happens when payment is late?

• If an invoice is not paid within the agreed payment terms it becomes a late payment.
• This means: We have a legal right to claim interest.
• The interest that we charge is called ‘statutory interest’. The amount of statutory interest that we can charge is 8% of the invoice total, plus the Bank of England’s base rate for business to business transactions.
• The Bank of England base rate is currently 3%. So we are able to charge 11% interest on late payments.

How do we calculate interest?

• This interest is simple interest, not compound. So to work out how much we can charge we need to calculate what the amount of interest would be for a whole year, then work out the daily rate from that.
• As an example, if you have a late payment worth £10,000: The annual amount of interest would be £850 (8.5% of £10,000).
• The daily amount of interest would be £2.33 (£850 divided by the 365 days in a year).
• After 10 days the amount of interest would be £23.30 (£2.33 x 10), after 30 days it would be £69.90 (£2.33 x 30), and so on.
• If numbers are not your thing you might want to use a tool to work this out for you. A quick Google will give you plenty of options. We quite like this calculator by Don’t Pay Late .
