Note: Neither Christian DJs Booking Agency nor your event DJ; will pay any union dues or any other fees to any venue staff personnel or subcontractor, related to gaining access to and from your event location or for movement of our equipment for your event. Also, after the event is over, if the venue or their authorized representatives or security personnel does not allow for same access to exit equipment that was used to gain entry or causes your Event DJ any delay or hindrance with regard to exiting the facility - you will be charged an additional $300.00 dollars. That said, any fees charged to you or that are imposed on us or the Event DJ will be added to your final bill and are due immediately the day of the event. To avoid this scenario it is strongly recommended that you or a close representative of yours remain until your event DJ has left the facility.

6.0    Event Security.

The client agrees that they will provide adequate security for the event DJ, his vehicle(s), equipment, and or other property. However, with or without security, in the unlikely event of damage or theft either by invited guest or by other persons or by damage by facility at your event; the client agrees to be responsible & pay restitution for the complete new retail value of said item(s) .

THE CHRISTIAN DJS BOOKING AGENCY / Contractual Agreement Form                                                                                                PAGE 3 of 5

8.0   Overtime Fees:

Being that our staff is so involved in the performance of our services; it is the responsibility of the client to inform the DJ present at your event at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled  event – “End time” that you wish to end the event as scheduled. Failure to do so will constitute in an automatic request for additional services and you will be charged for additional fees in accordance to Unscheduled Overtime Rate. All overtime fees are due payable immediately upon the conclusion of your event and must be paid in cash with no exceptions. Overtime starts at the beginning of the Overtime hour and is not pro-rated.  So the moment the official end time ends –immediately you will be liable for another overtime hour regardless of how much time is used. Additional performances may be requested, be it written, verbally, or automatically but we do not guarantee them to be possible as there may be other conditions & circumstances which may prohibit us from being able to grant such a request; i.e. another booking which we must attend, extensive travel, weather, etc. Ultimately the “TCDJSBA” onsite DJ / representative reserves the right, to continue and or to end the performance at the officially scheduled end time.  Therefore be it clearly stated unless otherwise waived in writing in this agreement, if your event requires additional time, be it requested or not of “TCDJSBA” performers, staff, or equipment the client will incur and be liable for overtime fees in accordance to the Rate Schedule as follows:  Unscheduled Overtime Rate: $300.00 per hour.

9.0   End of Event:

The End of an Event is considered as such when event is within 15 minutes of the Scheduled End Time, or when 80% of persons attending have left the premises, be it before or after the Scheduled End Time.

10.0 Notice of Terms Regarding Cancellations, Modifications, & Refunds:

Due to the limited number of physical presentations any one Event DJ could attend; and that bookings are scheduled in accordance to this agreement; and that equipment is reserved and tested for your event, and that time has been invested in coordinating and consulting for your event; and that by signing this agreement we lock in & reserve your Event DJ performance for your specific event date & times; and as a result, the Transportation & Logistical parts of physically attending the event are planned, scheduled, & reserved; As such, failure to proceed as agreed, would result in loss of business, money, resources, and invested time; to the extent that it could inflict a financial loss equal too if not greater than what is noted in the Overall Fees for Service noted in point 8.0 above;  therefore be it duly noted that neither we nor your Event DJ cannot accept any cancellations - which means, you don’t have to go through with your event but you will still be responsible for payment of your balance to “TCDJSBA”.   Therefore be it known to all parties:

A) Solely “TCDJSBA” reserves the right to cancel or modify this agreement. If “TCDJSBA” cancels and client is not in breech of this agreement; the client will receive a complete refund.  If however, client is in breech of this agreement client will be liable for the complete balance. B) This agreement is non-cancelable by the client. C) Should there be a failure to remit the final balance by due date noted in item 8.0 this would result in a breach of this agreement and would result in losing your deposit & reservation; with no further obligation on the part of “TCDJSBA” to perform according to this agreement. Therefore, that would constitute a cancellation by default, for which client acknowledges they will forfeit the complete amount of deposit & would be immediately liable for the balance.

Furthermore, being that as mentioned before they’re many variables and factors that ultimately contribute to the overall       success and or failure of an event and added to that – the ultimate delivery of performance with regards to your Event DJ.    Some of which, may not even include your Event DJ and others that even with your Event DJ delivering a top performance      may still have you and or guest considering it a complete failure.  For example:  your Event DJ cannot force anyone to          participate - yet some of your guest may NOT want to participate because of cultural, religious, and or personal reasons. On       the other hand, weather and climate can play a role in making people feel uncomfortable and irritated. Let’s not forget that         almost everyone has a different taste in music and in regards to the volume in which it is heard. Also your Event DJ does             not own the venue in which you’re having your event, and many Beautiful establishments are really old and have faulty    electric wires in the walls that may cause the Speakers or Amps to not work properly and cause the DJ to look like they             don’t know what there doing, etc. 

That said, your Event DJ’s performance for the most part is intangible and once delivered regardless of its outcome - it cannot be returned. As such you clearly understand that there are no refunds given or granted, period.  Especially and more over specifically based on the grounds of a request because of a “poorly rendered and or unsatisfactory performance” by your Event DJ or that said performance “ruined your event” or that it “caused it to be a failure”. Added to this is the fact, that ultimately the overall fees paid in conjunction with this agreement encompass much more than just the Event DJ performance during the day of your event. As such, neither The Christian DJs Booking Agency nor your Event DJ, will not be held responsible or liable for either the success or for the perceived or alleged failure of any event.

11.0 No-show, Tardiness, & Equipment Failure:

Your Event DJ considers all contracted events to be very important and special. This goes for the once in a lifetime events as well for those that are not. Therefore, you, the client should know that the Event DJ will try to foresee any obstacles that could impede him or her attending your event on time. However, although extremely rare, it could come to pass that due to an unforeseen situation or circumstance that is out of their control - would cause them to be a No Show at your event, Tardy, and or to suffer Equipment Failure not limited to the following categories: travel, weather, itinerary schedules, blackouts, & health issues regarding illness or injury.

THE CHRISTIAN DJS BOOKING AGENCY / Contractual Agreement Form                                                                                                PAGE 4 of 5

If such is the case, under the ideal that the show must go on – your Event DJ will try to reasonably remedy the situation should he or she or equipment become unavailable for the event, fail to show, arrive tardy, or malfunction to work.  Remedy may include but is not limited to: choosing alternative travel, onsite repairs, or that of trying securing the services of another DJ and or equipment by way of subcontracting in order that you may have some sort of entertainment at your event.  If your Event DJ cannot attend your event and or another DJ services cannot be secured for your event as a result of other matters not noted in the *Provision of Exceptions below; Your Event DJ will completely refund 100% of all monies paid for retaining their services.

Note: *Provision of Exceptions: There will be no refunds for Delays in or Failure to appear, perform, work, or function - because of Travel Conditions as follows: Act(s) of God (Be it Avalanche, Tornado, Hurricane, Earthquake, Volcanic Activity, Floods, Rain, Snow, Lighting, etc.);  Act(s) of War (declared or undeclared - be it Civil, National, or International - conventional or unconventional in nature); Added any Blackouts, Brownouts, Road Closures, Riots, Construction, Traffic Accidents, Air Travel Baggage handling, and any and all other which is out of the control of your Event DJ.  

12.0 General, Music, & Equipment:

A.   Client understands your Event DJ only plays Christian music. Therefore any request for secular music maybe granted on a case by case base prior to the event; but there are no guarantees that it will be played.

B.      Musical selections may be in played in varied styles, rhythms, languages, and tempos.

C.      The client understands the fees paid and the substance of this agreement is for the rental use of equipment with staff; and that this is not a contract to title over equipment. Only your Event DJ is authorized to operate and or move equipment.

D.      Client understands that your Event DJ needs a minimum of 3,500 Watts of electricity for safe operation of sound system unless otherwise noted & another minimum of 6000 Watts of electricity for safe operation of lighting systems (should they be requested). We will not supply, nor pay for electricity unless otherwise included in this agreement in form of an addendum. You are responsible for providing at least 6 safe, regulated 15 to 20 amp electrical outlets for the purpose of providing power to all our equipment. Should there be a power failure of any sort you are responsible for acquiring and supplying a backup power supply as in a power generator and/or an electrical engineer.

E.       For lighting, a fog machine is required in order to admire the different effects of the lighting program. However, different facilities have different ventilation systems and as such may cause activation of anti-fire / sprinkler systems. Therefore, if your venue does not allow for Fog, Smoke, or Haze machines your Event DJ will not bring out the lighting system although they may be included in the plan you have selected. Likewise if less than 3 dances are requested (using the formula of one song equals one dance) or if your event will be a flat out no dancing event – again, your Event DJ will not bring out the dance lights although they may be included in the plan you have selected as they tend to foster a Dancing / Club atmosphere.

F.       Your Event DJ retains complete copyrights of his or her performance. As such they do not consent to being taped for TV or Movie Programs such as Bridelizas, Platinum Weddings, Americas funniest Videos, Who’s Wedding Is It Anyway, etc.

G.      Client also understands music played is copyrighted under their respective owners. Furthermore, the client understands that BY LAW it is the VENUE (location where event will be held at) that must pay standard royalties fees to the RIAA, ASCAP, BMI, SOUND EXCHANGE, and or any other authorized entity by law – and that for purposes of this agreement it is neither your responsibility nor that of “TCDJSBA” or of your Event DJ to cover that fee.

H.      You hereby authorize us to use any form of recording or photographs of your event for promotional use on our website, e-flyers, standard print material (as in brochures and or other media) whether digitally, analog, film, video, or other format and to store the aforementioned material on our web servers.

I.        It is your responsibility to find out and acquire; if needed, any required sound, location, or gathering permits for your event from Local, State, and or the Federal Government. Be it indoors or out - regardless of the time of day.  If for what ever reason the electricity is CUT OFF or your Event DJ is mandated by the authorities, be they the Police, Park Rangers, Venue Management, Power Company, State Emergency Management Team, Etc. to power down / shut off the sound; as a matter of safety your Event DJ will “call the event over” (in other words the event for your Event DJ will have ended and our contractual obligations would have been completed) and your Event DJ will leave the premises immediately.

J.        Should any refunds be due by your Event DJ they will be payable 90 days after date noted in item 1.0 above.

K.      Supplemental information for event needs to be completed and returned to “TCDJSBA” 30days prior to event date. Example as in Online Event Planner, Wedding Planner, Concert Performers Order, Order of Activities/Events, etc.

L.       For service plans that require you to provide your Event DJ with Loud Speakers and Amplifiers; you must also ensure to have speaker cables as well. Ultimately, you are responsible for testing that equipment and ensuring its good sound quality for your event as your Event DJ cannot and will not be responsible or liable for that equipment.

M.      You are required to provide a 6 foot or an 8 foot Long Standard Rectangular Table for each set-up. Please note that NO ROUND tables will be accepted for the purpose of setting up.  To provide you with an example: if you contract DJ services for both a Ceremony and a Reception 2 tables will be needed to be already set up and decorated no later than 1hr prior to the event start time in order that your Event DJ might set up the gear for your event without delay. Furthermore the table(s) will have the same décor as the rest the event tables - so as not to look out of place. Added, the table(s) needs to be located towards the FRONT of the Venue or Room near the dance floor or general officiating area; and are not to be in between tables nor behind them. Added, for safety, insurance, and liability purposes a minimum of 10 feet of unobstructed clearance is needed from and for each table because of Speaker(s) proximity.

13.0 Assignment of Authority

Because different venues set–up their rooms differently and because its only once your Event DJ is at the venue the day of your event; only then can he or she determine the room’s or areas acoustics for sound in relation to the seating arrangements among other considerations like SAFETY (as in cables being clear of foot traffic. Stands in the way of Exit rows. etc – BE IT KNOWN TO ALL PARTIES - If you are not present at the time of our set-up YOU AUTHORIZE your Event DJ to make any adjustments necessary as to the locations of any tables, chairs, decorations, etc in order that he or she may provide you with the best service possible. Furthermore the authority granted  “BY YOU”    to   “your Event DJ”  is final and supersedes any and all given to any other family member, vendor, and or other representative with regards to venue/ room /area set-up and any other aspect related to or there by affecting and/or hindering the Event DJ to perform their service at your event; be it any oral or written agreement you may presently have with any other persons, companies, vendors, representatives, etc. for your event.  Added, this stipulation extends to include any future agreements or covenants made & dated after this agreement with regard to your event.

That said, we will take this opportunity to remind you that no one is allowed to move, transfer, or touch your Event DJ’s equipment at any time. If ultimately however you or a vendor / company definitely needs the equipment moved from its already setup location; Understand, that the DJ present must individually breakdown every equipment item and disconnect every cable before moving it from its present location, regardless if the move is just 3 feet to one side or 100 feet to another as this becomes a matter of liability.

14.0 Legal: Location Facility Liability 

The client agrees to provide and protect both physically and legally “TCDJSBA” and your Event DJ from any liability, damage, or injury, be it considered our or their fault or not.  Thus holding “TCDJSBA” and your Event DJ harmless and saved from any fees, law suites, or other charges imposed by the facility, its care takers, owners, or other legally entitled entity; For any and all liability, injury, damage to the location facility, property, employees, other personnel as sub-contractors for the facility or for your specific event, guests, reputation, etc.; By way of our staff, performers, assistants, representatives, or equipment.

Furthermore, if legal cause were to be found against “TCDJSBA” and or collectively and or separately your Event DJ be it for this or any other tort brought forth with regard to your event, you accept to limited liability not to exceed amount paid for retaining the DJ services. As such, you agree that “TCDJSBA” and or collectively and or separately your Event DJ will be not be liable for more than the cost of your fees currently paid for retaining your Event DJ services - whatever the outcome or status of your event; this includes the combination of any and all legal fees, punitive damages, relief, or reward fees, etc. Added, should “TCDJSBA” and or your Event DJ be granted relief from any legal finding you agree to pay any an all legal fees for all parties involved in addition to whatever awards are granted to “TCDJSBA” and or your Event DJ.

Furthermore, you understand that ultimately the context of this agreement is between you and the Event DJ ultimately performing at your event; and that the relationship between you and The Christian DJs Booking Agency is merely one of that of an intermediary, facilitator, and booking agent to the aforementioned second parties.  Therefore because of this and because they’re so many variables and factors that ultimately contribute to the overall success of an event - The Christian DJs Booking Agency, will not be held responsible for either the success or for the perceived or alleged failure of any event, as further described in this agreement and or for anything not covered within the scope of this agreement.
