1. Unless specified above the DJ will require the balance of any engagement fee payable to be made at least 31 days before the function date.

2. If the CLIENT cancels the booking or the event does not take place for any reason then the deposit will be forfeit. A cancellation fee of not less than one half of the agreed fee will also be applied for by the DJ. Full payment will be sought by the DJ if cancellation is made within 31 days of the performance date or if the DJ can show that another function has been refused for the same date on the basis of this agreement. Cancellation notification must be in writing and receipt of such notification will be confirmed in writing.

3. The DJ will conduct themselves in a manner befitting the engagement and will respond to the CLIENTS requests relating to dress code, volume levels, music played, equipment location or any other reasonable request.

4. The DJ will require access to a properly earthed mains electricity supply, sufficient to allow safe usage of the required equipment for the performance. If the supply is inadequate then the amount of equipment may be reduced. If the DJ considers that the electricity supply or any other aspect of the event is unsafe then they reserve the right to refuse to start or continue the performance after consultation with the CLIENT. The provisions of clause 2 may also apply.

5. The DJ will use their best endeavours to attend the function. Should they be prevented from attending for any reason, including accident or sudden illness, then the DJ will arrange for an equally qualified replacement DJ to attend the event on their behalf. In extreme circumstances where no replacement DJ can be arranged, the CLIENT will receive a full refund of all monies paid to the DJ for that function. The DJ will not incur any additional liability for non-appearance.

6. Licences for the performance of recorded music are only required at public events. In most cases private parties, such as wedding receptions, birthdays etc which are invitation only and attract no entrance fee do not require a licence. It is the CLIENTS responsibility to obtain such licences if required. Should the DJ be prevented from performing due to the absence of any appropriate licence or similar permission or should the performance be cancelled for any other reason then the provisions of clause 2 will apply.

7. The DJ will require at least one hour setting up time prior to the performance and at least 45 minutes afterwards to dismantle and remove their equipment from the venue.

8. The CLIENT is responsible for providing adequate supervision of all guests, staff and customers at the venue and will be liable for any loss or damage to equipment caused by guests, staff or customers.

9. The CLIENT warrants that they are entitled to use the venue for the purposes of the event and performance and that the event does not breach any law, bye-law or conditions imposed on the property.

10. Any extension of playing time is purely at the discretion of the DJ and may be subject to other constraints, however the DJ will do their best to accommodate any such request. Fees for extended times are advised above. Extended playing time must be requested at least 15 minutes prior to the agreed finish time.

11. The DJ will require ground floor access to the function room to allow safe installation of the disco equipment. This can be through the use of ramps or elevators, but not through the use of multiple steps or stairs. If the DJ considers that they are unable to access the function room due to poor accessibility then they reserve the right to refuse to start the performance. The provisions of clause 2 may also apply.

12. The CLIENT engaging the DJ and the DJ accepting the engagement confirms acceptance of all these terms and conditions by signing the agreement above.

I, the undersigned, acknowledge that I have read and agree with the terms and conditions above.
