Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: [Insert Date]
By accessing or using the Site and its services, you (the “User” / “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Definitions

  • “Artist” means a User who offers creative services (e.g., music, visual art, performance) and uses the Site to connect with clients.

  • “Client” means a User who seeks to hire or engage an Artist via the Site.

  • “Booking” means a confirmed arrangement between a Client and an Artist for the provision of services, arranged via the Site (either directly or through our facilitation).

  • “Services” means the creative, artistic, performance, or other services provided by an Artist to a Client under a Booking.

  • “Content” means any text, images, graphics, audio, video or other materials submitted, posted, uploaded or otherwise made available by a User on or via the Site.

2. Description of Service

ArtistBookers is a marketplace platform that enables Artists to present their portfolios and services, and Clients to find, book, and engage Artists. We facilitate certain interactions, but we are not the party who provides the Services. You understand and agree that your relationship is primarily with the Artist or Client (as applicable), and we act as a facilitator.

3. Registration & User Accounts

  • To use certain features of the Site, you must register an account, provide accurate and complete information, and maintain and update your information as needed.

  • You are responsible for safeguarding your account information (username/password) and for all activity under your account.

  • You must be at least [18 years old] (or of legal age in your jurisdiction) to register.

  • You must not misuse another person’s account or pretend to be another person.

  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or refuse access at our discretion (see Section 9).

4. Booking Terms

  • When a Client identifies an Artist and makes a Booking, the Client and Artist agree on the scope, price, timeline and other terms of the Services (“Booking Agreement”).

  • ArtistBookers may provide guidance or templates, but the contractual terms of each Booking are between Client and Artist unless otherwise specified.

  • Payment terms: If the Site facilitates payment collection, the Client agrees to pay according to the payment schedule set out in the Booking Agreement or on the Site.

  • Cancellations / rescheduling: Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Client and Artist, cancellations or changes must comply with the policy set out in the Booking Agreement. ArtistBookers is not responsible for enforcing booking-specific cancellation policies.

  • You acknowledge that usage of the Site does not guarantee that Artists will accept Bookings, nor that Clients will complete Bookings.

5. Content & Conduct

  • You retain ownership of Content you submit, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to host, use, reproduce, modify, publish and distribute your Content for the purposes of operating, improving and promoting the Site.

  • You must not upload or share Content that:

    • is false, misleading or fraudulent;

    • infringes the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of others;

    • contains viruses, malicious code, or is otherwise harmful;

    • is illegal, obscene, defamatory, hateful, threatening or infringes any laws.

  • You must not use the Site to harass, intimidate, discriminate against or harm others, or to engage in illegal or unauthorized activity.

  • We may monitor or review Content and User activity, but we are not obligated to do so. We reserve the right to remove or disable access to Content at our discretion.

6. Fees, Payments & Refunds

  • If the Site charges fees (for example, subscription, listing, service-fee, commission), those fees will be described on the Site or in the Booking Agreement. You must pay all fees due when payable.

  • Payment methods: you agree that we may process payments via third-party payment processors and you authorize us to charge the fees to your chosen payment method.

  • Refunds: Unless otherwise stated, fees are not refundable except as explicitly stated. Any refunds are subject to our discretion or the rules set in the Booking Agreement.

7. Liability & Disclaimers

  • The Site and Services are provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any damages (including indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages) is excluded.

  • We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any User (Artist or Client), including for the performance or non-performance of Services, or any Booking outcome. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses or liabilities arising from your use of the Site.

  • Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

8. Intellectual Property

  • All the content on the Site (excluding User-submitted Content) is owned or licensed by ArtistBookers and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

  • You may view or download one copy of the materials for your personal, non-commercial use only, and you must not reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt or publicly display them without our prior written consent.

9. Termination & Suspension

  • We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your access to the Site (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason (including if you breach these Terms).

  • Upon termination: (a) your right to access the Site ends; (b) you must stop using the Site; (c) any outstanding obligations (e.g., payment, indemnity) survive.

  • Sections that by their nature survive termination (e.g., Intellectual Property, Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law) will continue in force.

10. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

  • These Terms are governed by the laws of [State, Country] (e.g., Texas, United States).

  • You and we agree that any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site will be resolved by [insert dispute resolution mechanism — e.g., arbitration in [city], informal mediation first, or courts of [jurisdiction]].

  • If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

11. Amendments

  • We may revise these Terms at any time by posting the updated version on the Site and updating the “Effective Date”. Your continued use of the Site after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

  • We encourage you to review the Terms periodically. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site.

12. Miscellaneous

  • Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy (link) and any other rules posted on the Site, constitute the full agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site.

  • Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right.

  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign or transfer our rights freely.

  • Severability. If any provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue.

  • Notices. Any notices to you may be given via email or through the Site; you agree that notices so given satisfy any legal requirement.

Important: Because your business is connecting Artists and Clients (i.e., a marketplace), there may be additional clauses you should consider:

  • A dispute-resolution or refund policy specific to Bookings

  • Indemnity from Artists for their performance/services and from Clients for payment/behaviour

  • Additional insurance or liability clauses (especially if live performance or in-person events)

  • Data protection/Privacy Policy (ensuring compliance with laws like GDPR if you operate or have users in EU)

  • Payment processor terms, escrow or holdback arrangements if you use them

  • Age / eligibility restrictions or verification if required
