Hi Folks

This is a Booking contract that my customers can either print of idrect from the website or I send out for signing.

It was provided with kind permission of DJ Intelligence Ltd and allow for reprinting and reusing.

I've messed with it a bit to apply to the Brits

Is there anything missing...interested in your comments.

Beware, it's a bit length.

Looks good, although I don't think their e-mail address is valid (And I wouldnt want to live on their road!! )

The one thing I would add is that you cannot be held responsible if you start late (as we all know weddings overrun constantly and it stops someone trying to get a refund if they asked you to start at 7 and you couldnt (coz speeches were still happening) start till 9..)

on my t&cs it says:

8. The promoter(s) shall ensure the venue will allow the DJ adequate access time for the setting up and taking down of any equipment. If the DJ arrives and cannot start the event on time due to situations outside of his control (ie if any part of the function if overrunning) no liability will be accepted and no refund will be given.

Thanks for posting that Hugmaster, it'll be useful to see how it compares to the one I currently use.

Hi

Taking the previous comment into consideration, I've amended the contract to read as follows:

In the unlikely event that time is lost during the event due to equipment malfunction, the Company will refund the portion of fees paid prorated to the
time lost. The customer agrees that the prorated refund will be the full extent of damages he or she is entitled to and no further damages may be sought
against the Company.

If the performance start time is delayed due to the inability of the DJ to gain access to the performance area, or any other delay beyond the DJ's resonable
control, the Company will not be liable for any refund whatsoever.

Nice one, I hadn't thought of that.
