Terms of Business for Venues and Clients
Before entering into any contract whether verbal or written, the venue or the client (hereinafter referred to as ‘the venue’) and the artiste must agree to abide by the following terms & conditions listed below. Upon acceptance and/or fulfilment of any contracted booking with any one of the following companies, Barrett Entertainment Group Limited, MBM Corporate, Barrett Artiste Management Limited, MBM Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘The Company’) will assume the venue’s and the artiste’s full and unconditional acceptance of these terms & conditions.
'The Company' - TERMS OF BUSINESS FOR VENUES AND CLIENTS as of January 2011
'The Company' shall be the sole supplier of entertainment to the venue unless otherwise agreed.
'The Company' will provide a written contract for each booking. Each contract is issued as a written confirmation of a verbal agreement and should be signed and returned promptly to 'The Company'. 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 item #6 below.
It is the responsibility of the venue to provide 'The Company' 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.
The venue accepts that any deposits or booking fees which are required to be paid in advance are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
'The Company' will do their utmost to prevent any cancellations or changes in the contracted schedule, 'The Company' therefore expect that venues will also do their utmost to prevent any cancellation of artistes. All contracts negotiated between the artiste and the hirer are legally binding and cannot be cancelled without full agreement in writing from all parties to the contract. For any cancellation 0-31 days of the booked event 100% of the fee is required and for any cancellation 32-60 days of the booked event 50% of the fee is required.
Cancellation fees will be invoiced directly to the venue by 'The Company'. 'The Company''s payment terms are seven days from receipt of invoice.
In the event of an emergency, 'The Company' personnel 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 answering service.
It is accepted that 'The Company' 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-fulfilment 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 'The Company'.
Barrett Entertainment Group Limited is a member of The Federation of Small Businesses.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties hereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
