This document aims to clearly define the process and regulations governing the booking of investigations with EssexParanormal by members of the EssexParanormal community. These rules are regardless of position of stature within the group.
Booking Regulations :
EssexParanormal are a non-profit making organisation and as such the costs incurred by the organisers of investigations are expected to be evenly shared across all members attending the given investigation. Until now the booking of investigations has not been formalised, however through experience it is clear that this now needs to be done, to safe guard the people who organise the events from incurring unnecessary outlay for investigations personally. And also to safeguard the investigations for members who are serious about them and who do actually want to go on them.
1. All members are invited to attend any investigation advertised in the upcoming investigations section on the forum.
2. When investigations are fully booked, moderators of the forum will post a message stating there are no more places available.
3. Moderators decisions on bookings is final, however investigation bookings are done on a first come first served basis whenever possible.
4. It is totally unacceptable for members to book investigations, and then not attend or to cancel at short notice.
5. Failure to turn up at investigations (not letting us know your not coming) when booked may result in the member being banned from the forum for a set amount of time and the member will not be considered for further investigations or allowed to post until the outstanding monies are paid in full.
6. Deposits for all investigations will be required, exact amounts and terms and conditions will be available when the investigations are posted on the forum. Deposits are non-refundable.
7. Once booked on an investigation you will be contacted and given details of how to pay your deposit, the deposit will be required to be paid within two weeks of confirmation of booking, and no less than four weeks before the investigation, failure to do this may result in the cancelling of you place(s) unless otherwise arranged with Laura.
8. It is suggested that before booking an investigation members confirm that they are able to have any time required off of work. Cancelling due to not be able to get time off of work is not acceptable.
9. It is suggested that before booking an investigation members ensure that they can afford to pay for the investigation in full.
10. Because places are limited members may only ask to book a maximum of 3 guests.
The above rules are steadfast and will only be over-ruled by Laura McPhilimey (Lauraakafoxy). Consideration will be given to special circumstances not covered by the above, please advise Laura at the earliest opportunity if you are affected by any of the above. (lauraakafoxy@hotmail.com). Persistent offenders will not be given special dispensation.
