WELCOME TO ACC LIVERPOOL<br />

ACC Liverpool is a very unique space encompassing the Echo Arena and the <strong>BT</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> Center in one<br />

building.<br />

Hall 1A / Main auditorium<br />

The main auditorium has 850 seats and has been designed with a theatrical look; the stage area has a standard<br />

proscenium arch with forestage lift. The Auditorium houses a full counterweight flying system however the flying<br />

height is reduced. The space is equipped with a full state-of-the-art technical specification for lights, sound and<br />

AV.<br />

The main theatre also has a very good load in area (known as loading bay 1) and can house a 40 ft vehicle or a<br />

7.5 tonne truck. There is also a large goods lift from the load in area to the main stage. The stage is a sprung<br />

maple floor covered in hardboard which is painted black and can be carpeted for an additional cost.<br />

The space also houses many backstage rooms that can be used for dressing rooms or Client offices. There is<br />

also an extensive control room and a follow spot room plus a projector room for front projection.<br />

Hall 1C & 1B / Revolving drums<br />

These can either be used as part of the main auditorium/ Hall one or as a stand alone space. When they are<br />

linked with the main auditorium they provide an additional 250 seats in each drum.<br />

When they stand alone they have their own stage area which is carpeted. There are also four motorised flying<br />

bars in the space above the stage to enable the clients to hang banners and lighting.<br />

Breakout rooms<br />

There are 16 breakout rooms that can be used for many options from catering to conferences. When booked for<br />

conferences there is often an inclusive technical package included with the rental that provides basic conference<br />

sound and vision equipment.<br />

The Multi Purpose Hall<br />

The Multi purpose hall has many configurations which are achieved by using moveable walls. When the hall is<br />

split into its full compliment of six individual rooms these are normally used as smaller breakout rooms or<br />

plenary sessions for conferences. The hall can also be used as a large exhibition space as the space has an<br />

extensive rigging system in the roof. There are also several lighting gantries in the hall. Power can come from<br />

under the floor or from the roof to accommodate most requests.<br />

The hall has a full drape compliment which is black fabric around the hall. This can be drawn back to reveal<br />

daylight or to allow production companies to project lighting onto the walls for events. There is also a permanent<br />

fitted grey carpet. Hall 2 shares its loading bay (known as Loading Bay 2) with the Echo Arena which benefits<br />

from a large loading area and a flat load in.<br />

Our production department will assign a production manager to your event to liaise with you about your technical<br />

aspects and they will endeavour to provide you with all the plans and information that you need. In addition to<br />

this we are happy to provide you with quotes for your event.<br />

Kind Regards,<br />

Gail Wroth<br />

04/2010<br />

If the Client fails to pay any sum on the due date then, without limiting any other right or remedy, ACCL may: cancel or suspend provision of<br />

Services and Equipment to the Client under this or any other agreement between the parties; apply any payment made by Client<br />

(notwithstanding any express instruction by Client) towards the discharge of any sums due to ACCL under this or any other agreement between<br />

the parties; and/or charge Client interest (both before and after judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 1 % per month calculated on a<br />

daily basis until payment in full together with all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by ACCL (including legal fees) in recovering<br />

overdue amounts.<br />

ACCL may, at any time before performance, increase the <strong>Production</strong> Charge to reflect any matter apparent on subsequent site survey, any<br />

increase in cost due to any factor beyond the control of ACCL or change or delay caused by the Client. ACCL will provide timely notice to Client<br />

of any such increase. To the extent this Agreement has not been performed (but not otherwise), if Client following consultation with ACCL does<br />

not accept the increase and ACCL does not waive it, Client may cancel this Agreement by written notice given within 5 working days of notice of<br />

increase (but not less than 3 working days prior to commencement of Equipment hire or Services) provided that Client indemnifies ACCL in full<br />

against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by ACCL prior to or as a result of cancellation.<br />

Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue from the date when payment becomes due from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 4%<br />

above the Barclay’s base rate from time to time in force and shall accrue at such a rate after as well as before any judgment until payment is<br />

received by ACCL. ACCL shall further have if it so decides the right to use the provisions under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts<br />

(Interest) Act 1998 and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002.<br />

The Client shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable to ACCL by reason of any dispute or claim by the Client and in the<br />

case of part delivery of the Services the Client shall remain liable to pay the full price of all other Services delivered or available for delivery.<br />

The Client shall have no right of set off, statutory or otherwise.<br />

The Client shall reimburse to ACCL immediately the entire cost of representing any cheque or other instrument delivered to it in payment of any<br />

sum due by the Client.<br />

Any failure to pay on the due date will represent a breach of a contract condition entitling ACCL to rescind the contract for breach of condition<br />

and/or to claim damages.<br />

ACCL shall have the right to withhold payments by reason of dispute and the right to set off in relation to all sums owing.<br />

ACCL accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any equipment or materials of the Client or any third party, which ACCL may agree to<br />

store or transport, and any such equipment or materials shall at all times be at the Client's risk.<br />

Health and Safety<br />

Where a support structure is supplied by the Client, Client shall ensure that the surface, on which the Equipment and structure will be installed,<br />

will be stable under load and that the structure will be fit for the purpose (taking account of prevailing wind speeds) and will comply with all<br />

health and safety and other relevant regulations. Client shall provide ACCL on request with copies of certificates of compliance and structural<br />

engineering calculations verifying adequacy of Client's structure. Equipment dimensions and weights and representational drawings of<br />

arising out of the operation and use of Equipment and any breach by Client of this Agreement (including without limitation loss, damage or injury<br />

caused by any negligent act or omission or wilful misconduct of the Client, its employees, agents or sub-contractors or any claim that any such<br />

use or communication of any material infringes any patent, copyright, trade mark, registered design, design right or other intellectual property<br />

right of any third party) and against all costs, claims, demands, expenses and liabilities incurred by ACCL in connection therewith provided such<br />

indemnity shall not extend to liability for ACCL's negligence.<br />

Exclusion and Limitation of Liability<br />

Client acknowledges that electronic equipment may suffer breakdown or malfunction from time to time without fault and that consequences to<br />

Client of breach of the Agreement by ACCL may be disproportionate to ACCL's <strong>Production</strong> Charges. Therefore, Client agrees that ACCL’s<br />

entire liability to the Client in respect of this Agreement and any breach or negligent act or omission (including liability for acts or omissions of<br />

ACCL's employees, agents and sub-contractors) shall be limited as follows:<br />

except as provided in this Agreement, all conditions, warranties and representations whether implied or otherwise concerning the Services and<br />

Equipment, their state, quality, description, fitness for purpose or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law;<br />

ACCL's liability in respect of each event or series of connected events shall not exceed the total <strong>Production</strong> Charges received by ACCL except<br />

that in the case of recorded material, ACCL's liability shall be limited to the cost of replacing blank media only and in the case of loss of or<br />

damage to physical property caused by ACCL’s negligence, ACCL's liability shall be limited to £1,000,000.<br />

ACCL shall not be liable in contract, tort or otherwise whatsoever for any indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, business opportunity,<br />

goodwill or reputation.<br />

Client shall give ACCL reasonable details of any claim in writing and in the event of Services or Equipment not being fit for purpose, not of<br />

reasonable quality or functionality.<br />

All Equipment agreed to be sold by ACCL is sold “as is” and no warranty is given as to performance, functionality, fitness for purpose or that it is<br />

of reasonable quality, unless otherwise agreed by ACCL in writing. This does not affect your statutory rights.<br />

Nothing herein shall limit or exclude ACCL or the Client’s liability in respect of death or personal injury.<br />

ACCL shall not be bound by any third party guarantee including that of the Client.<br />

ACCL shall not be liable to the Client by reason of any delay or failure in performing ACCL's obligations due to any cause beyond ACCL’s<br />

installed, may take down all or any of the Equipment), interruption of power supply, war, act of terrorism or civil disturbance, industrial action or<br />

trade dispute or blockade, legal or governmental restriction or embargo (“Force Majeure”). In the event of Force Majeure, if the Equipment has<br />

been installed at the Venue, Client shall be liable to pay the <strong>Production</strong> Charge in full.<br />

Insolvency Act 1986) or the presentation of a bankruptcy petition; or enters into any arrangement or composition with creditors; or (being a<br />
