Our contract with you
How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we confirm that your payment and booking request to attend one of our events as been accepted. If you order your ticket(s) for our events online then, once you have received your booking confirmation from us, a contract will come into existence between you and us. However, if you purchase your ticket(s) by attending one of our events in person then a contract will come into existence between you and us when we confirm that you may attend our event and we have received payment from you.
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the services. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because we have identified an error in the price or description of our services.
Your ticket. When we confirm your booking and payment then we will assign a ticket number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order – this ticket number may appear in the e-mail you receive from us or may be printed on the ticket. It will help us if you can tell us the ticket number whenever you contact us about your order. If you purchased a ticket for one of our events through our website then the e-mail that you receive from us constitutes your proof of purchase. Please check that you have received this e-mail following your purchase. We shall have no responsibility should you not receive this e-mail due to reasons out of our control, for example junk or spam filtering. The confirmation e-mail must be presented to us at the entrance to our event. We may ask you to provide us with further confirmation such as the credit or debit card used to purchase the ticket or a form of government issued photographic ID such as a driving licence.
Accuracy of your information. It is your responsibility to check the accuracy of the details that you have provided to us and the details on your e-mail confirmation or the ticket (as the case may be). Please keep your ticket (whether physical or e-mail) in a safe place. We cannot be held liable for any tickets that are lost or stolen.
Expiry of your ticket. If you participate at our event and leave early then your ticket shall expire when you leave and you will not be entitled to a refund for any unused portion of the ticket. If you do not arrive (“no show”) or do not participate at the event specified in your ticket then you shall not be entitled to a refund.
Transferability. You may only transfer your ticket to another individual of the same ticket category (e.g. adult entry may only be transferred to another adult) and only for the same event for the same time at the same location.
Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change to your order with us then please contact us as soon as possible. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of your ticket, the timing of the event, or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your request change and we will ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. Please note that we cannot always make changes if you request them, for example, this may be because our event is already fully booked or the facilities at the place of the event may not be able to cater to your request.
Our right to make changes
Minor changes to the services. We may change the event:
to reflect changes in relevant laws, regulations, or codes of practice; and
to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a health and safety concern. These changes will not affect your use of our services and attending our events.
More significant changes to the services. In addition, we may need to make more significant changes to the services that you receive from us. For example, if the venue where the event takes place becomes unavailable then we will get in touch with you and you may then contact us to end the contract and receive a full refund.
Providing the services
When we will provide the services. We will supply our roller skating and events services to you from the date set out in your ticket and for the duration set out in that ticket. The completion time for the services is set out in the ticket or when you leave the venue where the event is taking place or you may end your contract with us as described in Clause 7 or we may end the contract by written notice to you as described in Clause 8.
We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our performance of the event and/or the services is affected by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event outside our control but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received.
What will happen if you do not provide required information to us. As we informed you in the description of the services in our brochure or on our website, we will need certain information from you so that we can provide the services to you, for example, we will need to know your name, address, and mobile number. We may also ask how old you are and if you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. Under certain circumstances, for example where we feel that we require more information in understand health concerns, we may also contact you to ask for this information. If you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with this information, or you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (see Clause 8.1) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for providing the services late or not providing any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
Reasons we may suspend the services. We may have to suspend our event to:
deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; or
update our services to reflect changes in relevant laws, regulatory requirements, or codes of practice
Your rights if we suspend the services. We will contact you as soon as reasonably practical to tell you we will be suspending the services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the services we may adjust the price so that you do not pay for services while they are suspended, for example, we may do this on a pro rata basis if you are unable to attend the entirety of our event due to our suspension. You may contact us to end the contract if we suspend the services and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for services not provided to you.
We may also suspend the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to (see Clause 10.4) and you still do not make payment when you attend our event in person then we may refuse access to our event and our services and if you have any outstanding payments due to us, such as unpaid tickets, then we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts.

Price and payment
Where to find the price for the services. The price of the services (which includes VAT) will be the price set out in our price list in force at the date of your order. You can find details of our price list on our website or by attending one of our events. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of services advised to you are correct. However please see Clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and not perform the services.
When you must pay and how you must pay. You must pay the full price of the services, before we start providing them. We accept payment by way of cash, debit card, or credit card.

Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process. Our liability for direct losses you suffer as a result of us breaching a contract between us is limited to the purchase price of your ticket.
For the avoidance of doubt, we strongly recommend that you wear appropriate protective equipment when attending our events, for example, wrist, elbow, or knee guards – especially if you are new or a beginner skater or a child. Roller skating is a great form of fitness but, as with any event that involves extended or extraneous movement, you accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible to you for loss or damage you suffer as a result of failing to wear appropriate protective equipment. If you bring your own skates and/or safety equipment then you are solely responsible for its maintenance and upkeep – we shall not be liable to you for any accidents or injuries arising from your use of your own equipment.
Indirect losses. We shall not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or for any loss of income, revenue, business, goodwill, loss of profits or contracts, loss of data, disappointments or emotional distress or injury to feelings and/or any other loss or damage which was not reasonable foreseeable whether arising under delict or tort (including negligence), common law, breach of contracts or otherwise.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services including the right to receive services which are as described and supplied with reasonable skill and care.
We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the services for domestic and private use. If you use the services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

process your payment for such services; and
if you agreed to this during the order process, to inform you about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving these communications at any time by contacting us.
CCTV. For your safety and security, we may operate CCTV at our events and/or the owners, proprietors, or managers of the venue may operate CCTV.

You may only transfer your rights under our guarantee to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person with our written consent. We may withhold our consent if we believe that your transfer may be prejudicial to our rights under this contact. However, you do not need our consent to transfer the benefit of our guarantee in Clause 9.3 (see Clause 9.4).
Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in Clause 9.3 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need the consent of any person acquiring rights under our guarantee to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms 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.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things or prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by Scottish law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in the Scottish courts. If you live in England you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to the Scottish Arbitration Centre via their website at https://scottisharbitrationcentre.org.
I attended the rollerdisco at Livingston Xcite Craigswood today and was really impressed, these guys do an absolutely fantastic job as hosts, very friendly, keep everyone safe, give Birthday shoutouts and let you request songs, I took my Daughter and her friend and they both had a great time, will definitely be back, great value for money too and a decent length of time to skate, plenty of seats around the side for non-skaters or if you want a rest too. Keep up the good work guys, not many towns do rollerskating so it’s great that these guys come along and bring it to local areas for the kids and adults who love to rollerskate. Well done James and his team.
So, I used to roller skate and a friend was encouraging me to come back. I really wasn’t sure if I was able. Nearing my 50th birthday and last time I skated was when I was 16/17. I really enjoyed it and when to Aberdeen session and 2 Dundee ones. I purchased skates for my step daughter & spent £200 on skates for myself. My step daughter said to me today after our double session that after the first go it would be her last, 6 months later!!! James and his staff are top class.
Staff are very friendly and supportive.My Grandaughter absolutely loves the roller discos, good fun for all ages and abilities. I would highly recommend coming along you won’t be disappointed!
Get all my skate gear from these guys! Amazing customer service and items shipped fast, as well as immidiate shipping of pre orders as soon as they receive them. I had a pre order in for some wheels that had sold out in the colour I wanted. They even contacted me to say they'd found a set in another colour and offered me those in case I didn't want to wait!
So happy with my skates!! Got them at an amazing price which United Sk8s built and they skate like a dream!! Staff were excellent, kind and informative about the moxi brand, and were happy to help with sizing questions. Look no further than here, if you are thinking of buying skates!!
Such amazing customer service, got my dream skates with my dream colours, they were so kind and helpful and I honestly can not fault them. Would 100% recommend them to anyone!
Had trouble finding a skate helmet what with my big bonce. Contacted these guys through their Facebook page in within 24 hours they'd found me one. Paid for it that day and it was posted and delivered by Royal Mail the next day. They kept me informed every step of the way. Outstanding service! It would be great if every online trader was as excellent as United SK8S.
