1. Parties This Venue Account and Booking Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between: RD Music Service Limited ("the Company") and The venue, business, or organisation completing registration through the RDMS website or booking portal ("Venue"). 2. Purpose The Company agrees to supply live music performances to the Venue in accordance with: - individual gig bookings submitted by the Venue through the RDMS portal; - the booking details submitted by the Venue through the portal; and - these Agreement terms. 3. Account Creation By completing the sign-up process on the RDMS website and accepting these terms, the Venue creates a trading account with the Company ("Account"). The Account enables the Venue to submit individual gig booking requests through the RDMS portal. Creating an Account does not guarantee the availability of any specific artist or performance date. All bookings remain subject to confirmation by the Company and artist availability. The Company reserves the right to suspend or close any Account where the Venue breaches these terms or engages in conduct damaging to the Company or its artists. 4. Contract Term This Agreement begins on the date accepted by the Venue through the RDMS website or portal ("Effective Date") and continues on a rolling basis until terminated by either party in accordance with this Agreement. 5. Booking Process The Venue may submit individual gig booking requests through the RDMS portal by providing the proposed performance date, performance start time and duration, venue address and performance space details, and any specific requirements or preferences. A booking request does not constitute a confirmed booking. Once the Company confirms a booking through the portal, email, or other written communication, the booking becomes binding under this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to decline any booking request at its discretion. 6. Artist Availability The Company shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate the Venue's requested dates and times. All bookings remain subject to artist availability. If a confirmed artist becomes unavailable, the Company reserves the right to provide a suitable replacement artist of comparable professional standard, or to cancel the booking with reasonable notice. 7. Venue Responsibilities The Venue agrees to: provide a safe and suitable performance environment; provide reasonable access to electricity where required; ensure all necessary licences and permissions are in place; comply with all health and safety obligations; and ensure staff or representatives are available during performance times. 8. Fees and Payment Performance fees shall be communicated to the Venue at the time of booking confirmation. Full payment for each confirmed booking shall be due within seven (7) days of booking confirmation by the Company, and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the performance date, whichever falls earlier. Where a booking is confirmed with less than forty-eight (48) hours until the performance date, full payment is due immediately upon confirmation. Failure to make payment by the due date shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Where the Venue fails or refuses to pay any outstanding balance, the Company reserves the right to immediately cancel the performance, suspend or close the Venue's Account, and recover any outstanding unpaid amounts. All payments are non-refundable except where the Company cancels a performance without cause and no suitable replacement is provided. 9. Late Payments The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate of 4% above the Bank of England base rate. The Venue shall also be responsible for any reasonable costs incurred in recovering unpaid amounts. 10. Cancellation and Rescheduling Confirmed bookings cancelled by the Venue with less than seven (7) days' notice remain chargeable in full. Where more than seven (7) days' notice is provided, the Company may allow the booking to be rescheduled once during a reasonable period, subject to artist availability. The Company reserves the right to charge additional fees for repeated rescheduling requests. 11. Non-Circumvention The Venue agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly engage, book, employ, contract, or otherwise arrange performances with any artist, musician, or performer introduced or supplied by the Company outside of the RDMS platform or services during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the artist's last performance at the Venue. Any attempt to circumvent the Company by directly engaging performers supplied through the Company without the Company's written consent shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to pursue recovery of lost fees, damages, and any associated legal costs resulting from such breach. 12. Independent Contractors All performers supplied by the Company are independent contractors unless otherwise stated. Nothing within this Agreement creates an employment relationship between the Venue and any performer. 13. Media and Promotion The Company and its performers may take photographs, videos, or promotional content during performances. The Venue grants the Company permission to use such content for promotional and marketing purposes unless otherwise agreed in writing. 14. Limitation of Liability The Company shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profits, business interruption, or circumstances outside the Company's reasonable control. The Company's total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Venue in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. 15. Force Majeure Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure to perform obligations caused by events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, government restrictions, venue closure, power outages, illness, transport disruption, or other unforeseen events. 16. Termination Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other party. The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately where the Venue materially breaches these terms, payments remain overdue, the Venue behaves abusively toward performers or staff, or the Venue creates unsafe working conditions. Termination shall not remove the Venue's obligation to pay outstanding fees for confirmed bookings. 17. Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with individual booking confirmations recorded within the RDMS portal, forms the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the supply of live music performances. 18. Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
