1. PAYMENT TERMS

1. All fees quoted are based on advanced payment and are valid for 30 days only.

2. As any booking effectively removes Callum from the market for the agreed date(s), payment of a confirmation invoice is required to secure your booking. This will also allow Callum to commence with any specific preparation required for your event. This usually includes research, future meetings or phone calls, tailoring content, developing slide packs, logistics, etc. A confirmation invoice will accompany any agreement.

3. All invoices, unless otherwise stated, are payable within 7 days.

4. For all bookings under $15,000 NZD, the full fee is required upfront to secure and confirm Callum.

5. Bookings over $15,000 NZD require a 50% deposit of total fee upon agreement to secure and confirm your booking, with the remaining 50% required 30 days prior to any event. Callum operates a ‘No Pay, No Fly’ policy.

6. The booking is not confirmed until a signed agreement and full fee or 50% deposit have been received as per above.

7. Payment method is via Electronic Funds Transfer. Details will be included on the confirmation invoice.

8. To save us chasing you, please send remittance advice to hello@callummckirdy.com.

2. TRAVEL AND ‘OUT-OF-POCKET’ EXPENSES

1. For all work where travel is required, expenses including flights & accommodation are additional. Callum requires fully flexible flights or business class for all flights longer than 3 hours duration (this includes all international flights). Where business class is not available to certain destinations, Callum travels full economy. Callum chooses to carbon offset flights and we generally prefer to make these bookings ourselves (as Callum’s itinerary is often complex). Callum’s preferred airline of choice is Air New Zealand and partner carriers in the Star Alliance Network.

2. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to bookings with Callum are additional. This may include transfers, taxis, meals, internet access, rental cars,  petrol, parking and workshop materials as required. This will not include alcohol, gifts, long distance calls or anything ridiculous.

3. Any additional expenses will be invoiced within 14 days from the completion of delivery. Please note we do not itemise this invoice with dates and services provided or provide scanned copies of tax receipts for expenses unless specified as a requirement prior to signing the agreement.

4. Workshop material (if any) will be passed on at cost, if not arranged by yourselves through your own preferred providers. However, please note Callum has preferred pens, flipchart paper, etc. This isn’t because he’s a diva; he just wants your people to have the best experience possible. He won’t throw a tantrum over this.  

5. For bookings where events start before midday (local time) then accommodation is required the night before. For events that finish after 5:00 pm (local time), and appropriate travel arrangements are not available then accommodation is required for the night of the event. These will be included as expenses and invoiced as per above. Late checkouts may result due to booking times.

3. EQUIPMENT

Whether presenting, training or facilitating, Callum uses various tried and tested tools in order to provide participants with the best experience possible. Please review Callum's Event Details for all requirements and to ensure a successful event which provides participants with the best experience possible. 

4. CANCELLATIONS/POSTPONEMENTS

1. Postponements under 28 days will be treated as cancellations.

2. Cancellations 14 days or less in advance of the booked service offerings will result in the full booking fee being charged.

3. Cancellations 14 to 28 days in advance of the booked service offerings will result in 75% of the full booking fee being charged.

4. Cancellations, postponements or significant changes to scope (with more than 28 days notice) will result in a charge of 50% of the total cost (in other words, 50% of the total fee is non-refundable).

5. In the extremely unlikely event of cancellation by Callum McKirdy, all monies paid will be refunded immediately, or invested in credit towards an alternative booking. In any case, you will hear from us ASAP. Callum and his team are not liable for any costs you may have incurred in such instances.
