Hospitality Package to any third party.
7.3 If the Customer is a business, this Agreement sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any
statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of YCCC which is not set out

based on any statement in the Agreement.

in Scotland the Customer can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Agreement in either the Scottish or the
English courts. If the Customer lives in Northern Ireland, the Customer can bring legal proceedings in respect of the
Agreement in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
7.7 All persons entering the Ground must abide by the Ground Regulations.
7.8 Some of the menu items provided as part of the Hospitality Package, may contain nuts, seeds and other forms of
ingredients that may induce allergies and there may be some risk that traces of such ingredients may be contained in
various dishes served. The Customer must contact YCCC at least two weeks prior to match day to inform YCCC of any
dietary requirements.

terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Agreement or make any
changes to these terms and conditions.
7.10 If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these
terms and conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the
remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
7.11 Even if YCCC delay in enforcing this Agreement, it can still enforce it later. If YCCC does not insist immediately
that the Customer does anything the Customer is required to do under these terms and conditions, or if YCCC delays
in taking steps against the Customer in respect of the Customer breaking this Agreement, that will not mean the
Customer does not have to do those things and it will not prevent YCCC taking steps against the Customer at a later
date.
