MBM CORPORATE LIMITED - TERMS OF BUSINESS FOR CLIENTS AND VENUES (Apr 2007)
Before entering into any contract whether verbal or written, the venue or the client (hereinafter referred to as the venue) must agree to abide by the following terms & conditions listed below. Upon acceptance and/or fulfillment of any contracted booking, MBM will assume the venue’s full and unconditional acceptance of these terms & conditions.
MBM shall be the sole supplier of entertainment to the venue unless otherwise agreed.
MBM will provide written contract/s for each booking indicating the date of performance/s, duration of performance/s, and time/s of performance/s within seven days of the verbal contract being agreed wherever possible. Each contract is issued as a written confirmation of a verbal agreement and should be signed and returned promptly to MBM. Whilst the venue's principal is required to sign and return the contract, which is a written confirmation of a verbal agreement already made, failure to do so is not sufficient to cancel the agreement. For information regarding cancellations, see point 7).
It is the responsibility of the venue to provide MBM with their requirements re: arrival time, duration of performance/s and time/s of performances. This information will be included on each contract and must be adhered to by the venue and artistes alike.
The venue must pay the fee stated on each contract in the method described by the contract's payment terms. Some of the different forms of payment are as follows:
Cash Pickup, cash paid to the artiste, directly after the performance.
Cheque Pickup, cheque paid to the artiste, directly after the performance.
N.P.U. (No Pickup), cheque or cash, paid to MBM in advance.
N.P.U. (No Pickup), cheque, paid to MBM upon receipt by the venue of an invoice. MBM's payment terms are seven days from receipt of invoice.
The venue accepts that any deposits or booking fees which are required to be paid in advance are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
A4 posters for all our artistes are available to download from our website. A3 posters may be also available upon request.
MBM will do their utmost to prevent any cancellations or changes in the contracted schedule, MBM therefore expect that venues will also do their utmost to prevent any cancellation of artistes.
It is accepted that MBM acts as a negotiator of contracts between an artiste and hirer and is not part to those contacts, and therefore cannot in any way be held responsible for non-fulfillment of bookings, although every reasonable safeguard in the interest of the venue is assured.
Fees are plus VAT where shown on each contract.
Any re-bookings of artistes at the same venue or any associated venue must be negotiated through MBM.
In cases c) or d), payment to the artiste will be normally made by cheque from MBM within ten days of receipt of cleared funds from the venue. In all cases, the venue will always be informed verbally of the method of payment before or when any contract is issued.
If you are issued an Equity contract, there are no cancellation terms and the full fee will still be payable should you cancel.
If you are issued a standard MBM booking contract:
For any cancellation within 31 days of the booked event 100% of the fee is required.
For any other cancellation 50% of the fee is required.
Cancellation fees will be invoiced directly to the venue by MBM. MBM's payment terms are seven days from receipt of invoice.
In the event of an emergency, MBM can be contacted on one of the emergency telephone numbers left on our answering machine, but for obvious reasons, no cancellations can be accepted on the ansafone.
