2.3   Your contract for the purchase of a Product will have effect from our confirmation of your purchase (unless Clause 2.4 below applies) and ends immediately after the completion of the relevant Event, save that, if you have purchased any non-Ticket Product, your contract for the purchase of such product will end 14 days after the date of delivery of the relevant Product to you. All purchases are subject to payment card verification and other security checks and your transaction may be cancelled if it has not passed our verification process. 

2.4 Security Check Email: Upon making an order and receiving the "order confirmation", your order may be placed on "security check" by our payment security department. In this case, you will subsequently receive an email indicating documents which need to be provided to us in order for us to validate your payment. Please ensure that all documentation is provided to us in a timely manner. Should you receive a "security check" email after your "order confirmation", your order shall not be deemed confirmed until the security check is cleared to our satisfaction.  We reserve the right to cancel bookings which we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently or in breach of these Terms of Sale.

2.5   You agree not to obtain or attempt to obtain any Products through unauthorised use of any robot, spider or other automated device or any other illegal or unauthorised activity. We reserve the right to cancel any transaction which we reasonably suspect to have been made in breach of these provisions without any notice to you and any and all Products purchased as part of such transaction will be void.

3.  Prices and fees

3.1   Purchases from us may be subject to handling fees, credit card fees and delivery fees.

3.2   Please note that the price printed on a Ticket (often by the Promoter) is at times intended to display its initial face value rather than the purchase price paid. You will not be entitled to a refund on the basis that you have paid a higher price than the face value of the Ticket. The price paid for a Ticket represents its true value at the time of purchase.  Prices may vary and you will not be entitled to a refund if the price of similar Tickets subsequently changes.

3.3  Products relating to each Event will have their prices set in a “master currency” for the Event.  Prices displayed in other currencies are for information only. The amount to be paid and the master currency of the race are stated prior to purchase. In some cases, foreign exchange rate fees may be applied by your bank, resulting in the debited amount on your bank statement differing from the amount displayed in the Ticket Store.


Master currency of each event is as follows:

  • Formula 1 Test Days: EUR
  • Australia: AUD
  • Bahrain: USD
  • China: EUR
  • Azerbaijan: USD
  • Spain: EUR
  • Netherlands: EUR
  • Monaco: EUR
  • Canada: CAD
  • France: EUR
  • Austria: EUR
  • Great Britain: GBP

3.4   Whilst we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any Product you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible.  If the price displayed was higher than the correct price, we will refund you the difference. Where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.  If we are unable to contact you after making reasonable endeavours to do so, you agree that we may treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel after you have already paid the incorrect price, you will receive a full refund from us.

3.5 Customs Charges for ticket delivery: we are not liable for any fees applied by the border services for international deliveries. It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of customs regulations and fees, and the customer is liable to pay any customs fees to the customs & border services of the country in question.

4.   Cancellations and refunds

4.1   Purchased ticket(s) are non-cancellable and non-refundable unless otherwise subject to clause 4.4.

4.2  If you have purchased any Non-Ticket Product, you are entitled to cancel the purchase of such Non-Ticket Product within fourteen (14) days of the date of delivery of the relevant Product (or during such longer period as may be specified in the Promoter's terms and conditions where relevant) unless Clause 4.3 applies. You are not entitled to cancel your associated Ticket purchase in such circumstances. To cancel your Non-Ticket Product purchase, please contact us at [email protected]

4.3  Notwithstanding Clause 4.2, if you have purchased any Non-Ticket Product as a digital download (such as a voucher for an Official Event Programme), you may cancel your transaction within 14 days of the day of purchase ("Cancellation Period"), unless you have purchased such digital download during the 14 days immediately before the date of its release or at any time on or after the release date, in which case you will have agreed for the digital download to be provided to you before the expiry of the Cancellation Period and will have acknowledged that your right to cancel will be lost.

4.4   Cancellation of an Event: The Ticket is purchased for the relevant Event. No Tickets are transferable to other events.

If an event is cancelled, held behind closed doors or rescheduled, the options proposed to you will depend on the options provided by the Promoter of the Event in question. A Promoter may offer various options, such as e.g., a rollover of your Ticket(s) to the next edition of the Event or a refund. In the case that the Promoter should offer a full or partial refund of your Ticket(s) value, you would be entitled to receive the equivalent level of refund on the amount paid online for your Ticket(s) minus a 3% refund processing fee. The initial Handling Fees charged at the time of purchase will not be refunded. A refund shall only be processed once corresponding funds have been received from the event promoter. A refund shall only be processed once corresponding funds have been received from the event promoter.

In some instances and depending on the cancellation circumstances and options proposed by the Promoter, we may alternatively be able to offer you an account balance.

Should an event be cancelled (and not rescheduled) and the promoter offers no form of financial compensation, we will in no way be liable or responsible for providing refunds, nor any form of compensation, be it financial or otherwise.

Please diligently read the clauses stated on our terms and conditions page, specifically section 2.2 “Contract between us and you”. Be aware some special restrictions may apply.

15.         NO WAIVER

No failure by FOHES to exercise or any delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by FOHES operates as a waiver of such right.

A waiver is not valid or binding on the party granting that waiver unless made in writing.

16.         SEVERABILITY

Each of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is severable from the other(s). If any such provision or part thereof is or becomes invalid, unenforceable or illegal in any respect, such provision or part thereof shall, to the extent that such term is invalid, be deemed not to form part of these Terms and Conditions but the validity, unenforceability or legality of the remaining provisions hereunder shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall in any way limit or avoid FOHES’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence.
