Note: dietary requirements/allergies can be sensitive. Please only share what’s necessary.

B. Information collected via bookings (third parties)

When you book tickets through third-party providers (such as TryBooking and any other booking services we may use), those providers collect information to process your booking and payment (for example your name, email, ticket selections, and payment details).

Cookies and similar technologies: to help the Website function and to understand how visitors use it

(For more detail on cookies, refer to your Cookie Policy.)

2) How we collect personal information

We collect information when you:

visit and use the Website (including via cookies/analytics)

If we want to use your information for a purpose not listed here, we’ll only do so where permitted by law and/or with your consent.

We may share personal information with the following types of recipients, where necessary for the purposes above:

These providers may process payments and issue tickets/receipts, and may share booking details with us.

B. Venues and event partners

Venues hosting the event (for example, to confirm numbers, manage entry, seating, accessibility arrangements, and if relevant, dietary/catering coordination). We aim to share only what is necessary (e.g., attendee counts, and dietary needs only when required for catering).

Service providers we use to send emails or manage communications (for example, an email hosting provider or mailing list tool), which may process your name and email address on our behalf.

D. Website hosting, IT and analytics providers

Website hosting, security, IT support, and analytics providers that help us operate and improve the Website (for example, traffic measurement and performance monitoring tools).

E. Legal/compliance

Professional advisers (lawyers, accountants) and authorities where required or permitted by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

5) Overseas storage and processing

Some of our third-party service providers (including booking services, email platforms, and analytics tools) may store or process personal information outside Australia (commonly in the United States, Europe, or other regions), depending on where their servers and support teams are located.

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers and to ensure appropriate protections are in place, but you acknowledge that overseas recipients may be subject to foreign laws.

6) Security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes limiting access to those who need it and using reputable service providers.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes set out in this Policy (including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements), after which we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

7) Your choices

You can:

choose not to provide certain information (but this may limit our ability to respond or accommodate needs, including dietary requirements)
manage cookies through your browser settings (note this may affect Website functionality)

Event & Booking Terms (The Tea Party)

Last updated: 18 January 2026

These Event & Booking Terms (“Booking Terms”) apply to bookings for The Tea Party events and experiences promoted on www.theteaparty.com.au (the “Website”). By booking, attending, or participating in an event, you agree to these Booking Terms.

Bookings are typically processed via third-party booking platforms (such as TryBooking or other ticketing services we may use). Your booking may also be subject to the booking platform’s terms and policies.

These Booking Terms sit alongside our Refund/Cancellation Policy and any event-specific information shown on the event page or booking page. If there’s a conflict, the event-specific information will apply to that specific event.

1) Who we are

The Tea Party events are hosted by Diana through Threshold Projects, based in Melbourne, Victoria (Australia).

2) Bookings and tickets

Your booking is confirmed when you receive a confirmation email and/or ticket from the booking platform.
Tickets may be limited due to venue capacity and experience design.
Unless stated otherwise, tickets are for one person and one specified session/date/time.

3) Prices, fees, and third-party booking platforms

Prices are shown on the booking page and may include booking fees charged by the booking platform.
Payment processing is handled by the booking platform and/or its payment provider. We do not store your full payment card details.

4) Changes, transfers, and name updates

We understand plans change. Where possible and subject to availability:

A) Transfer to another date/session

You may request to transfer your booking to another date if there is availability.
Transfer requests must be made before the event start time (ideally at least 24–48 hours prior so we can manage capacity and catering).
Transfers may be limited for certain events (e.g., special guests, limited capacity, private venues). If so, we’ll state this on the event page.

B) Name changes (transfer to another person)

You may request a name change to transfer a ticket to another person, provided:
- the request is made before the event start time, and
- the ticket has not been used, and
- any eligibility requirements are still met (e.g., age requirements).
You are responsible for ensuring the person you transfer to has read and agrees to these Booking Terms.

We may ask for reasonable information to process transfers/name changes (e.g., booking reference and new attendee name).

5) Late arrival and entry

To protect the experience for the group and venue requirements:

Please arrive 10–15 minutes early where possible.
If you arrive late, we may (at our discretion):
- allow entry at a suitable break,
- ask you to wait until an appropriate time, or
- refuse entry where late entry would disrupt the group, compromise safety, or breach venue rules.

Late arrivals are not guaranteed entry and may not be eligible for a refund (see Refund/Cancellation Policy), except where required by Australian Consumer Law.

6) Age requirements

Unless otherwise stated on the event page:

Events are intended for adults (18+).
If an event is suitable for a different age group, it will be clearly stated on the event listing.
We may request proof of age where relevant (e.g., venue requirements).

7) Dietary requirements, allergies, accessibility and health information

We want attendees to feel safe and supported. At the same time, we need to be clear about what we can and can’t guarantee.

A) Dietary requirements and allergies

If refreshments/food are part of an event, you may be asked to provide dietary requirements/allergies during booking or by contacting us.
Please provide details as early as possible (ideally at least 48–72 hours prior) so we can plan appropriately.

Important limits:

While we will take reasonable steps to accommodate dietary preferences and common dietary requirements, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Cross-contamination can occur in shared kitchens, venues, or with external catering.
If you have a severe allergy, you should contact us before booking to discuss whether the event can safely accommodate you and/or bring your own safe refreshments if appropriate.

B) Accessibility

If you have accessibility needs, please contact us prior to booking or as soon as possible so we can advise on venue access and reasonable accommodations.

C) Not medical or therapeutic services

Our events are experiential, spiritual/metaphysical, and community-based. They are not medical treatment, psychotherapy, or a substitute for professional care.
If you are experiencing acute distress, please seek support from a qualified professional or emergency services.

8) Changes, postponements, and cancellations by us

Sometimes changes are unavoidable. If we need to make changes to an event (including date/time/venue), we will take reasonable steps to notify you using the contact details provided at booking.

We may cancel, postpone, or change an event due to reasons including:

low bookings / minimum attendee numbers not met
venue unavailability or venue-related issues
host illness or emergency
extreme weather or safety concerns
circumstances outside our reasonable control

If we cancel or postpone an event, we will offer (as applicable and subject to your rights under Australian Consumer Law):

a transfer to a new date/session, or
a credit, or
a refund, in line with our Refund/Cancellation Policy and any mandatory consumer guarantees.

If the venue changes, we will aim for a suitable alternative location and will let you know as soon as possible.

9) Your responsibility and participation

By attending, you agree that:

you will follow reasonable directions from the host and venue staff
you will participate in a way that supports group safety and a respectful environment
you are responsible for your own wellbeing, boundaries, and decisions during the experience

If an activity feels unsuitable at any point, you should pause, step out, or speak with the host.

10) Behaviour expectations (code of conduct-lite)

The Tea Party is a welcoming, respectful space. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or disruptive behaviour.

Examples of behaviour that may result in removal include:

aggressive, threatening, or abusive language/behaviour
harassment, unwanted sexual attention, or stalking
discriminatory remarks or conduct (based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, etc.)
intoxication or drug use that disrupts the event or creates safety risks
repeated disruption after a request to stop

Removal policy: We may refuse entry or ask you to leave if your behaviour is unsafe, disruptive, or breaches venue rules. In such cases, tickets are generally not refundable, except where required by Australian Consumer Law.

11) Photography and recordings

Unless stated otherwise for a particular event:

Please do not record other attendees without their explicit consent.
We may take occasional photos for promotional purposes only where consent is obtained or an opt-out process is offered (details may be provided on the event page).

12) Liability and risk

To the extent permitted by law:

attendance is at your own risk
we are not responsible for loss, damage, illness, injury, or theft arising in connection with attendance, except where caused by our negligence or where liability cannot be excluded under law

Nothing in these Booking Terms excludes or limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded.
