This agreement contains the entire understanding between Premier DJs and the Client. The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by both parties. This agreement is applicable for all events (excluding weddings). Weddings require a separate agreement for which this agreement is not applicable. Please advise if the event is a wedding so that we can provide the correct agreement. Failure to do so will result in a breach of contract.
Breach of Contract
Failure to advise Premier DJs that the booked event is a wedding shall result in breach of contract. In the unlikely event this occurs the client forfeits any and all payments and Premier DJs have the right to refuse performance immediately.
Reservations
Upon signature, Premier DJs will reserve the time and date agreed upon, and will not make other reservations for your assigned DJ for that time and date. For this reason,a booking fee of $220 is non-refundable, even if the date is changed or event cancelled for any reason, including acts of God, fire, strike, pandemic and extreme weather. The booking fee is to be paid at time of signing this contract. The booking fee is applied towards the contracted Event Package. The booking fee covers our cost of setting your client records up in our system and may include covering the costs involved with allocation of equipment and staff for your event. The Client understands and agrees that the entire amount owed for the Event Package described in the contract is due 14 days prior to the Event. Client agrees if the balance is not paid by this time, Premier DJs reserve the right to not perform at the Event, with a loss of the booking fee and no liability to Premier DJs.
Change of Times or Venue
Premier DJs must be notified immediately of any changes in schedule or location, at least one week prior to the scheduled date of event. Notification of any changes can be made by phone along with written notice sent via email for documentation. If an email is sent, a confirmation of receipt must be in writing. It is the client’s responsibility to confirm all arrangements at least 7-10 days prior to the event. In the event of change of address or contact information (time, etc.) as listed, you must notify Premier DJs. Note that a change of venue and/or times may attract additional fees.
Venue
All events will be held indoors within a permanent weather proof structure, unless otherwise advised upon booking to Premier DJs. In the event that we are required to set up outdoors or be exposed to the elements, an additional Outdoor Contract must be signed by the purchaser.
Performance Time & Additional Time
Music commences at the scheduled start time agreed by both parties. Should additional time, that is not included in the agreed package, be requested by the Client, it will be charged out at $65.00 rounded to the nearest half hour. Payment for this additional time is due either at the time of performance in cash to the performer. Payment of any fees additional to the assigned Entertainment Package amount must be paid in full on the date of the event.
Payment
The Client agrees that a booking fee is required at the time of signing the contract and the Outstanding Balance is due 14 days prior to the Event, or on the Outstanding Balance Due date in the Event Package Summary, if specified.
Cancellation/Postponement
There shall be NO refund of reservation deposit after 48 hours from the signing of agreement due to the reservation of the event date. If the event is cancelled within 60 days of the event date, the client shall pay the balance of the contract. Once a balance is paid, it is NON-REFUNDABLE. Any other arrangements shall be discussed between the client and Premier DJs. All arrangements will be put in writing. Cancellation must be in writing and confirmed by both parties even if a phone call was made to inform Premier DJs of the cancellation. The client agrees to not expect a new date to automatically be available if the event is postponed. The client will be given the chance to reschedule but cannot be pushed ahead of other reserved clients.
COVID-19 Postponement Policy
Premier DJs understand and acknowledge the difficulty in planning an event and the impact that COVID-19 can add to this time. If an event needs to be postponed due to the impacts of COVID-19, we will roll your event (pending availability) to the new date in the future with no additional fees added (unless additional services or extra travel to a new venue is applicable). Any monies paid will stay in credit in your account.
House Rules
Premier DJs are limited by the guidelines of event officials and/or event location site management. The Client agrees to accept the results of their imposition on the DJ, including noise limits, music cut off times, lighting restrictions etc. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is the Client’s responsibility. Premier DJs will not be liable for non-fulfilment of this contract as a result of the venue management’s requests and directions, however every reasonable precaution will be taken. In the case of the event being held on a private property, and in the case of noise complaints received from authorities we will work with the requests of the authorities without any compensation due in the case of being asked to cease performance.
Co-operation of Guests and Other Service Providers
The Client is responsible for the conduct of the guests. Premier DJs will not tolerate verbal or physically abusive behaviour. If the Client is unable to control the conduct of the guests or if the conduct of any of the guests damages any of the equipment of Premier DJs, it will result in the early or immediate departure of Premier DJs. The Client understands that in such an event, no refund will be given. Co-ordination with other service providers may be necessary to complete the event as scheduled. The Client should share the contact details of other service providers with Premier DJs to make sure that there are no conflicts on the day.
Damages

Premier DJs will not be held accountable for not having songs requested on the night, should they not be informed by the pre-event confirmation.

If the situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the Event Package booked. Premier DJs take the utmost care with respect to exposure, transportation, using professional grade equipment and professional grade backup equipment. However, in the unlikely event that there is an issue for reasons within or beyond Premier DJs’ control, Premier DJs liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package.
Equipment Failure

This is the extent of Premier DJs liability. All equipment used is checked prior to arrival and has been fully tested for safety by a qualified electrician. If Premier DJs are linking equipment within a fixed in-house audio system, Premier DJs reserve the right to refuse to do so if the equipment is considered to be unsafe or liable to cause damage to any component linked to it. The Client is liable if post inspections prove that damage has been caused by faulty equipment other than that used by Premier DJs.
Substitution
