Contracts are there to be negotiated: our artist agreement.

The following conditions apply to all bookings made through us:

1. The type of performance and the artistic design are the sole responsibility of the artist. Wishes may be expressed, but without guarantee of realisation.

2. The artist undertakes to arrive punctually at the start of the performance.

3. In the event of illness or in the event of organisational measures, we reserve the right to provide an equivalent replacement.

4. The client is responsible for the electrical supply and, in the case of outdoor events, for rain protection for the entire technical equipment. Our technical systems should always be operated on a separate circuit in order to avoid faults; this is to be provided by the organiser.

5. Food and drinks (soft drinks and alcoholic drinks: in the form of e.g. sparkling wine, wine and/or beer) will be provided free of charge by the client before, during and after the performance.

6. In the event of overnight accommodation, the client shall bear the costs by prior arrangement. The accommodation may not be more than 2 km away from the event venue and must be booked by the client as a single room or as a double room with single occupancy.

7. The client assures that the event does not conflict with any official or other regulations.

8. The client must ensure that the fire alarm centre is informed that the use of fog or smoke-generating effect devices may trigger the fire/smoke alarm.

9. The client shall be fully liable for the personal safety of the artist at the venue and for damage (in particular theft and vandalism) to the artist's equipment caused by third parties in the client's area of responsibility.

10. If the client requests extended services (e.g. technical equipment, etc.), which we have carried out by subcontractors on his behalf, the client shall be liable for security in the event of theft or damage. If the order is cancelled, we reserve the right to apply the subcontractor's individual terms and conditions in this case, otherwise §11 of our artist agreement shall apply.

11. The GEMA fees to be paid are borne by the client and paid independently. KSK fees (Künstlersozialkasse) do not have to be paid, as we do not play any songs we have composed ourselves, but only string together existing tracks.

12. An order shall also be deemed to have been placed if it has been confirmed verbally or by email; no written contract is required for this.

13. Cancellation of a booking up to 14 days before the performance by the client after the order has been placed shall be subject to a contractual penalty of 50% of the agreed order volume; up to 7 days before the performance, a contractual penalty of 80% of the agreed order volume shall be due in the event of cancellation. For cancellations up to 2 days before the performance, the full amount is due.

14. If, as a result of force majeure, unavoidable official measures or strikes, a contracting party is unable to fulfil its obligations under this contract, both contracting parties shall be released from these obligations. Claims of any kind cannot be derived from this. Each contracting party shall bear its own costs incurred.

15. If payment is agreed in advance, the total amount must be credited to our account 2 working days before the event - this always applies to first-time bookings and private customers.

16. In the case of a payment agreement in cash, the total amount must be handed over to us immediately after the sound check and BEFORE the start of the event. Any additional costs arising from an extension or similar must be paid to us in cash at the end of the event. In the event of non-compliance with the payment agreement, we reserve the right to withhold our services until the agreed amount has been paid. If the amount is not paid, 100% of the total amount is still due, even if the service is withheld. An invoice will be sent by post / email.

17. If payment in cash has been agreed, the following applies: If no payment or only a partial payment is made directly after the event and before dismantling - this is only permitted in exceptional cases and after prior agreement - the amount due must be paid by 12:00 noon on the first following working day without further request at the offices of the DJ Service Agency Hamburg. We charge a fee of €100 (gross) for this extra effort. An invoice will be sent by post/email. If the client fails to make payment by the aforementioned date and does not notify us of this failure in writing, we will hand the matter over to our legal advisor on the following working day without any further reminder. The amount of the claim shall then be the amount of the outstanding claim plus the late payment fee of €100 (gross).

18. In the case of a payment agreement by invoice, the invoice will be issued on the next working day and must then be transferred to the specified account details within 7 days - this applies exclusively to corporate customers from the 2nd order onwards.

19. If damage to our equipment is caused by the client during the event, we will endeavour to replace the damaged part immediately so that nothing stands in the way of the rest of the event. All costs for e.g. transport, personnel deployment and hire charges for additional equipment shall be borne by the client. All damaged parts will be invoiced separately after repair.

20. If individual provisions of this contract are contestable or invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the contract. Cancellations of individual contractual points are not permitted.
