  • Other members of the named act are required to be listed and these can be amended at any time from within the members login area. If the 'lead person' (whose name appears on the certificate) leaves the named act then we can arrange for the name to be changed to another member of the same named act.

Our system is designed to send relevant enquiries directly to your email address however, as the delivery and acceptance of emails are under the control of your email provider, we cannot guarantee your receipt of them. Members are advised to take the steps outlined in the Help & Advice section to help ensure that these messages are delivered to your inbox.

    It does NOT cover (for example) any organisation of, or the provision of security for, any event, bouncy castles, magicians etc. If you are in any doubt please contact us before joining as failure to meet the stated criteria will invalidate your PLI cover with us.

The requirements of members are:

  • To agree to abide by these terms and conditions.
  • To respect the reputation of AMPuk & fellow members.
  • Members should refrain from putting in fake or non-existent enquiries to 'test the system' or for any other reason. This is a waste of other members time and resources.

These terms are subject to amendment at any time. We, at our sole discretion, reserve the right to refuse or cancel any membership for any member with or without explanation. In this event we agree to refund your membership fee either in full or pro-rata. You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to register or continue to register you for this service.

This is a 'Business to Business' transaction under the distance selling regulations. If you decide to cancel your membership a partial refund (less an admin fee) will only be issued if the Member Certificate has not been accessed. Renewal subscription prices may be subject to change.
