Terms and Conditions
 
“The booking contract” is negotiated between the “Client” and “SuperBad Talent Limited” the SuperBad Talent Limited. Any contract negotiated through SuperBad Talent Limited shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise agreed in writing between all concerned parties.
 
Pre-Booking
1. Provisional bookings will be automatically cancelled if they are not confirmed within 48 hours or if a definite booking is offered and the provisional cannot be confirmed.
2. Confirmation of a booking means any verbal, written or electronic acceptance and agreement of the booking by the Client. The booking takes immediate effect from this confirmation. Following confirmation the contract containing the terms of the booking must be signed and returned immediately by the Client prior to the job and a 50% deposit must be paid. Failure to sign and return the contract is not sufficient to cancel the agreement if a verbal or written confirmation has been made.
3. A deposit of 50% must be paid within 5 working days of the booking confirmation. Failure to pay the deposit will result in the booking being cancelled and the Client will be liable to pay cancellation charges.
The Booking
4. SuperBad Talent Limited provides the Client access to the entertainment services of the Artiste for a specific booking agreed upon by all parties.
5. Each booking is unrelated to any other unless agreed upon in writing.
6. The Artiste is bound by SuperBad Talent Limited’s Code of Conduct and agrees to perform to the best of their abilities and perform their advertised and agreed act, presenting themselves professionally throughout the course of the booking.
Cancellations
7. If a booking is cancelled within 30 working days of the booking date/s then the 50% deposit is non-refundable. If a booking is cancelled within seven working days of the booking date/s the full fee will be charged. Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays are excluded from these calculations.
8. Cancellation of the engagement will only be accepted in writing by letter with proof of posting or email. The date of cancellation will be accepted as the date of posting.

10. In the case of cancellation of performance due to Force Majeure (acts of god, war, fire, death, accident, civil unrest, government intervention, changes of law) which are clearly beyond the control of the Client, the Artist or SuperBad Talent Limited, no cancellation fee will be paid.
