Standard Terms of Business

1 Services

1.1 To source on behalf of the Promoter a suitable Artiste for an Engagement or alternatively to provide an acceptable Offer from the Promoter when acting on behalf of the Artiste..

1.2 The Agent will negotiate the Fee and agree terms between the Promoter and Artiste for an Engagement. When the Agent is acting on behalf of the Promoter, the Promoter agrees to confirm the Offer in writing first of all to the Agent so the Agent can make a formal approach to the Artiste with said Offer. Alternatively, the Agent will provide written details of the Offer from the Promoter when acting on behalf of the Artiste. An Agreement takes place when the Artiste confirms acceptance of the Offer.

1.3 Depending on exclusivity, the Agent or Artiste will issue an Agreement confirming the terms of the Offer relating to the Engagement. The Agent will then communicate any amendments or additions that either the Promoter and/or Artiste want to make to the terms of Agreement before signature.

1.4 The Agent is not authorised to enter into or sign any Agreement on behalf of the Artiste or the Promoter in this respect. The Agent is not responsible for the compliance by Promoters or Artistes of their respective obligations in relation to Offers and Engagements although The Agent takes all normal precautions.  Unless specifically stated otherwise, will at all times act as Agent and never as the principal.

1.5 For the purpose of the Regulations, the Agent acts as employment agency and not as an employment business.

1.6 As the Agent is not a signatory to the Agreement, the Artiste or Promoter may also want to issue their own terms of business.

Cancellations must notified into writing to Agent at the email address above and receipt acknowledged with a return email.

2.4 Agent’s Booking Fee will be agreed from the outset and is payable in full once the Artiste has accepted the Engagement offered by the Promoter.

2.5 Any outstanding balances due to Artiste by Promoter will be paid to nominated bank account within seven (7) days completion of The Engagement unless otherwise agreed.
