These are our Terms & Conditions and may be of help to you.


The contractual terms between Stephen Skinner, t/a Double “S” Music Machine , ( hereafter referred to as “the discotheque” ) and those purchasing services from the discotheque are contained exclusively within these terms and conditions. These conditions and the contract shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the Law of England.

In no circumstances will the discotheque be bound by any addition to or other variation of these terms, whether oral or in writing, unless any such addition or variation is agreed in writing by the discotheque with express reference to these terms

This contract is agreed between ( hirer's name ) hereafter referred to as “the hirer” and the discotheque.

1. The date, type, times and place of engagement and fees are as specified on the front of this document.

2. The hirer shall at all times, have complete supervision, direction and control over the services provided by this agreement and the ends to be accomplished as long as they are in keeping with accepted professional practices and equipment capabilities.

3. The liability of the discotheque to perform said services is subject to proven detention by sickness, accidents or any other actions not under its control.

4. This agreement may be cancelled by either party only on written notice at least 30 days prior to the engagement(s) noted above. The burden of proof of cancellation will be on the cancelling party. Cancellation by the discotheque will result in full refund of all payments. Timely cancellation by the hirer will result in the refund of all payments received by the discotheque less the deposit. Should the hirer cancel less than 30 days prior to the engagement(s) noted above the full fee will be payable.

5. All payments made towards the obligations stated in this agreement, except as indicated in paragraph 4, will be non-refundable

6. Payment of the final balance due must be made by cash, cheque or bank transfer no later than 10 working days prior to the date of the engagement and appearance by the discotheque on the date, for the times and at the place of engagement specified on the front of this document is contingent upon this. In no circumstances, other than specified in clause 8, will post dated cheques or “cash on the night” be acceptable.

7. The liability of the discotheque shall not exceed the amount of payments received by the discotheque.

8. If, during the engagement, the hirer requests extra playing time beyond that specified overleaf, the discotheque will comply, if possible, at the rate of £60 per hour or part thereof up to and including midnight and £80 per hour or part thereof from midnight onwards, payable in cash in advance. However this will be dependent upon the agreement of the venue management and all other concerned parties. Notwithstanding this, prior arrangements or commitments may prevent agreement to play for extra time. Consequently the right not to go beyond the time specified overleaf is reserved.

9. All venues are visited in advance to ensure adequate power supplies are available, to determine the most advantageous positioning for the discotheque equipment and to arrange access etc. with the venue management. Notwithstanding this it is ultimately the hirer’s responsibility to ensure that enough power and space are available and the discotheque cannot be held responsible for any lack of power supply, insufficient space within which to set up or other facilities not under its control, which will be detrimental to carrying out the engagement. Power must be available within the area in which the discotheque will be set up. In permanent venues this means at least 3 and preferably 4 x 13 amp sockets must be available adjacent to the operating area. In marquees at least 3 and preferably 4 x 13 amp sockets must be available no more than 1 metre away from the operating area having been run by the hirer or the hirer’s agent to the discotheque area from the power source. If there is necessity to run cables from a generator distribution board or any other source to provide the correct power configuration it is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure this is done. If it is not done and cabling has to be supplied and installed by the discotheque then a supplementary charge of £25 per half hour will be applied for time spent and equipment supplied. However this neither implies nor guarantees that the discotheque will be able or liable to provide such service.

10. The hirer agrees to assume complete liability for all claims of personal injury or property damage arising from the engagement(s) noted herein and hold the discotheque harmless in all such cases, except when caused by an employee/agent of the discotheque.

11. The discotheque will not be held responsible for injury to the hirer’s guests or the hirer’s guests’ children who interfere with the discotheque equipment in any way.

12. Where it is under the hirer’s control, the hirer agrees to maintain adequate security in the service and access areas so as to protect the property of the discotheque from theft, vandalism or other damage. The hirer also agrees to be fully responsible for loss or damage (including weather damage) to equipment used to provide the services noted herein while said equipment is situated on property owned by or under the control of the hirer, except damage caused by an employee/agent of the discotheque.

can anyone check mu t+c's and let me know what you think please

A few things you might want to consider.

Doesn't seem to read right to me. You could certainly lose the "of the company" from the first line, and maybe change the working to read something like "a deposit of 25% together with a signed cintract"

What if I've booked you for six months in advance and want to pay you the balance 1 month before the event?

Reading the 2 of these, if I cancel 30 days before then I'm allright - Oops, according to 4 I'm liable for the agreed full amount. I would also consider changing "will be liable" to may be liable". If I got a booking to replace a cancellation then I wouldn't bother trying to get the fee from the one that cancelled.

I think you could merge 6 & 7 together.

There are a couple of other things that I would not have put in, or worded quite the same way, but that's just my opinion and you have to go with what you feel is right for you.
