Please see Mr Beats Terms of Service below. All bookings will be subject to these terms, and they will be made available via email and post upon completing your booking.
- Booking Details
1.1) All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions set below. A copy of these terms and conditions will be emailed to you. They will also be sent to you with the written booking confirmation and invoice.
1.2) The DJ will require adequate time for the installation and dismantling of the equipment. The amount of time will depend on the type of event, access and amount of equipment required. If the Client or Venue has special requirements for setting up/disassembly or times of access, the Client must provide these details to Mr Beats prior to the booking date. Wherever possible, Mr Beats will visit the Venue prior to the event, in order to assess the time/work/equipment required for setting up. Please bear in mind that if there is not sufficient time to do this, or if the distance or opening hours of the venue prohibit this, then the Mr Beats must rely on information given by the Client.
1.3) Both Mr Beats and the client offer assurances that no previous bookings exist with other clients/companies that would affect the booking.
1.4) If the Client has another booking which results in the cancellation of the contract, full payment is required if the cancellation occurs within 14 days of the booking date.
1.5) If Mr Beats has another booking that results in the cancellation of the contract a full refund of balances received will be issued. However, Mr Beats warrants that it will attend any booked event to the best of its ability. Only under exceptional circumstances (such as illness), work may be sub-contracted, but only to known, experienced DJs with proven credentials. The cost of hiring in any other company in these circumstances will be borne by the Mr Beats.
1.6) Mr Beats will be in attendance at the venue in good time to set up for the event. However, if they are prevented from setting up by the late running of the event, the client agrees that the same amount of setup time is still needed, and any consequent late start to the entertainment will not be the responsibility of Mr Beats.
- Payments
2.1) Deposits and final payments can only be made via Bank Transfer or PayPal payment to the details given on the clients invoice.
2.2) If the DJ is required to play on past the agreed time, the fee for such overtime is £50 per hour, payable in cash, at the time of request. This is subject to the conditions and approval of the Venue, and is at the DJ’s discretion.
2.3) All final payments must be received no later than 48 hours prior to the event date. If any payments are not received by the due date, Mr Beats may refuse to attend the event, and full payment will still be required, as this will be considered a breach of contract. The Company may, at its discretion, allow a time to pay, but this is exceptional and must be agreed prior to the final payment date. Any such late payment agreement will be subject to a late payment fee of £25, and £5 per extra day passed the final payment date.
2.4) In the event of failure to complete the late final payment as agreed, any additional legal and recovery costs will be forwarded by the instructed solicitor. Further charges will be documented on an amended invoice and issued at the time of amendment.
- Deposits, Cancellations and postponement
3.1) In order to complete the reservation of Mr Beats’ services, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the agreed package price or fee must be paid in full within 7 days of agreeing your booking. Mr Beats will reserve your date in good faith to allow for postal time frames in receiving and returning the booking contracts and terms and conditions.
3.2) In the event of late payment of deposits, Mr Beats will consider the reserved date available for other bookings beyond the seven-day period, and the client risks losing the reserved booking date until payment is received. If the desired date has been booked and late payment is received, this will be returned in full.
3.3) In the event of the client wishing to cancel or postpone the event least 14 days prior to the booking date, no further costs will be charged. The Client must notify Mr Beats as soon as is practicable and in writing.
3.4) If the cancellation or postponement is made less than 14 days prior to the event, the entire fee will be due. This is because it is unlikely that Mr Beats will receive a replacement booking at such a late date. However if we were to take another booking Mr Beats will waiver this cost.
3.5) At the Mr Beats’ discretion, the Company may agree to alter the date of the booking, such replacement date to be within 3 months of the original booking date, and subject to Mr Beats being available on the replacement date.
3.4) Mr Beats will confirm all bookings in writing with the client. The client must return signed Booking Terms and conditions, as make payment of the deposit to complete their booking.
- Conduct and Security
4.1) The client will ensure that the audience and anyone other than the Company’s team conduct themselves in a proper manner. The company will not be held responsible for any actions, behavior or damage caused by those attending the event, under any circumstances.
4.2) Mr Beats’ team will conduct themselves in a proper manner throughout their attendance at the venue, and will respond to the clients requests (unless in breach of any laws or venue requirements/restrictions) as to volume, positioning of equipment, and any other reasonable requests. If you require the DJ and any other staff to adhere to any specific dress code please advise at the time of booking. We will happily oblige wherever possible.
4.3) Often, Mr Beats will take photographs or video footage of events, to be used in promotional materials. If you, the Client, object to this, please notify the Company before the date of the event. Copies of photographs and videos, if possible, may be obtainable from the Company – please ask for details.
4.4) The client will be held responsible for any theft or damage of any equipment (including vehicles stored on the premises) belonging to Mr Beats caused by anyone other than members of Mr Beats’ team.
4.5) It is solely the responsibility of the client to ensure the venue has sufficient and legal security for both personnel and equipment (including vehicles used by the Mr Beats).
4.6) Mr Beats will not be held responsible for damage to the venue caused by the equipment. Mr Beats must be notified of any potential venue-specific problems in advance of the booking date.
4.7) Mr Beats operates a zero tolerance policy regarding abuse to its staff, whether verbal or physical, actual or implied. The Client is responsible for the behaviour of his/her guests at all times, and is responsible for providing any security necessary to police such behaviour. In the event of any actual or threatened abuse, the DJ may turn the music down, and request that the matter is dealt with. The music will remain turned down for up to 10 minutes, and if the problem is not dealt with in that time, the DJ has the right to refuse to play on, and may end the performance. In such circumstances the full fee is still payable, and any damages or loss will be reclaimed from the Client. Any illegal behaviour will also be reported to the police.
- Health & Safety
5.1) It is solely the responsibility of the client to ensure the Venue complies with Health & Safety regulations, and holds all necessary certification, Public Liability Insurance, Public Performance Licenses, etc.
5.2) Mr Beats will ensure that all equipment fully complies with all the relevant Health & Safety legislation, and is fully PAT tested, with certificates available on request
5.3) The Client is responsible for ensuring that the venue can provide a safe and practical area in which the Mr Beats can set up and operate its equipment. The bare minimum power requirement is two 13Amp sockets, preferably on a separate unloaded circuit. For most venues, this is adequate; however for very large venues different requirements may be necessary.
5.4) The equipment used may include such items as lighting stands, truss systems, speaker stands and other constructions. The area provided must be both safe and practical. If the DJ deems that the Venue is unsafe, Mr Beats reserves the right to refuse to set up, and in this case the full fee would still be payable, as the Company has turned up, but is prevented from working by Health & Safety Issues which are the Clients responsibility.
5.5) A suitable parking area must be available for the loading and unloading of the company’s equipment at the venue. Likewise, there must be adequate and direct access to the Venue or function room.
** All legal or recovery costs incurred will be charged to the relevant client
