Speaking Engagement Terms & Conditions

For a speaking engagement or event

Definitions — In these terms, "Mental Toughness", "we", "us" and "our" mean Ricky Munday, a sole trader trading as Mental Toughness, of Claremont Street, Glasgow, G3 7HB. "The Client" means the organisation or person booking the engagement. "The Speaker" means Ricky Munday. "The Agreed Date" means the date of the engagement set out in our quotation or booking confirmation.

General — These terms form the entire agreement between us and the Client for the speaking services described in our quotation or booking confirmation. They may not be varied without the written agreement of both parties.

Speaking services — We agree to provide the speaking services described in our quotation or booking confirmation on the Agreed Date, using reasonable skill and care.

Fees — The Client will pay the fee set out in our quotation or invoice. The Client will also pay the Speaker’s reasonable travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses, agreed in advance where possible.

Payment — An invoice will be issued in advance of the Agreed Date. Payment is due at least 28 days before the Agreed Date (or, where the booking is made within 28 days of the Agreed Date, within 7 days of invoice and before the engagement). We may charge interest on overdue sums at 3% above the base lending rate of National Westminster Bank plc.

Cancellation by the Client — Cancellation must be notified in writing. As the Speaker reserves the Agreed Date exclusively for the Client, the following charges apply, plus any non-recoverable travel or accommodation costs already incurred:

28 days or more before the Agreed Date: 25% of the fee.

14 to 28 days before the Agreed Date: 50% of the fee.

Fewer than 14 days before the Agreed Date: 100% of the fee.

Postponement — Where the Client wishes to postpone, we will make reasonable efforts to agree an alternative date subject to availability. One postponement requested 28 or more days before the Agreed Date may be made without charge; later or repeated changes may be treated as a cancellation.

Termination for cause — The Client may terminate this agreement in writing, without penalty, if the Speaker is guilty of gross misconduct or serious or persistent negligence, or fails or refuses, after written warning, to carry out the duties reasonably and properly required.

Confidentiality — Each party will keep confidential all information of a confidential or commercially sensitive nature obtained from the other party.

Intellectual property & recordings — All intellectual property rights in the Speaker’s materials and media (including audio and video recordings of the Speaker) belong to us and are reserved. Materials and recordings may not be reproduced, transmitted, lent, resold or circulated without our prior written permission.

Health & safety — The Client will advise us of any health-and-safety matters, and of all applicable safety, security and site rules and procedures, that apply at the venue.

Data protection — We are committed to protecting personal information and will process it lawfully in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We will not sell or pass personal details to any third party except as needed to deliver the engagement or as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Liability — We will provide the services with reasonable skill and care. We will not be liable for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Except for liability that cannot be excluded by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with the engagement is limited to the fee paid. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under Scots law.

Governing law — These terms are governed by Scots law, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Scotland.
