Bookings
Contracts must be signed and a deposit paid to secure your booking.  Until signed contracts and deposit are received by us, your booking will be classed as provisional and will be held for 14 days from date of contact.  Deposits and contracts not received within this time will render the booking cancelled and the company reserves the right to accept another booking for this date.

Payment
All deposits are non-returnable. The balance of the payment should be made by cash at the start of the function, or by cheque/postal order no later than fourteen working days prior to the function. In the event that you cancel the disco less than seven days before the date of the function, you will still be liable to pay in full the agreed fee. Cheques are acceptable and should be made payable to "A Savory". Referred cheques or cheques completed incorrectly will be subject to a thirty pounds (£30.00) administration fee. The agreed fee stated on the Confirmation of Booking form only covers for services during the stated start and finish times and the setting up of and dismantling of the equipment. If any extra service is required it is chargeable at Twenty Five pounds (£25.00) per half hour with a minimum of half hour charged and payable in half hour increments. For example if you require and extra one and a quarter hours you would pay for one and a half hours. Extra service is also subject to availability and should be discussed with the performing DJ at the time, and paid to the DJ at that time. All other methods of payment will be by mutual agreement. Work completed without payment received beforehand or on the night, will be re-invoiced after 28 days at a 10% increase on the original amount, then another 10% per 28 days outstanding.

Security and Safety of Equipment
The security and safety of the equipment during the start and finish times stated on the Confirmation of Booking form is the responsibility of the customer (excluding breakdown and technical failure). The customer will provide adequate supervision of its guests, including children, at the venue, and will be liable for any loss of or damage to the equipment or personnel's belongings, caused by guests attending the function. Should any damage occur to the equipment in anyway whatsoever, the customer will be liable to pay for repair or replacement which ever is applicable. No replacements to be acquired or repairs undertaken by the customer without prior approval of the company. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure the good conduct of their guests towards the DJ's and their assistants. If at any time before or during the function our DJ's deem their persons or property to be under threat, verbally or physically, we reserve the right to terminate the disco without notice. In the event of this happening refunds are not applicable. 

Loading and Unloading Difficulties
It is the responsibility of the customer to advise the company when booking of any unloading/loading difficulties so that these may be priced for accordingly. If when the DJ arrives at the venue he or she discovers unloading/loading difficulties, then he will advise the customer of additional charges for them. If he or she does not have the manpower or equipment to cater for the unloading/loading difficulties then he or she will not be able to unload the equipment and the customer will still be liable to pay the agreed fee. Unloading/loading difficulties include :- Stairways upwards or downwards, long walking distances from the parking area to stage area, narrow corridors, human obstructions i.e. people crowding doorways, bars, eating areas etc. The normal duration for the setting up of the equipment is 90 minutes, unloading/loading difficulties will add to this time. If the customer has not informed the company of the difficulties then the company will not be liable for starting late and will still finish at the time stated on the Confirmation of Booking. It is the responsibility of the customer to provide an area suitable to set up the equipment and provide an adequate power supply within three metres. Should the DJ deem the area to be unsuitable for any reason whatsoever, he/she reserves the right not to continue with the performance and the customer shall still be liable to pay the agreed fee.

Content
The company accepts no responsibility for the content of the disco. The disco will be conducted by a professional DJ with a great deal of experience of performing discos. Should the DJ be unable to play a certain song or songs for whatever reasons, the company accepts no responsibility whatsoever and will not refund any monies on this basis. It is reasonable to assume that whilst our DJ’s have vast CD collections there is no way humanly possible that they will ever have every single title ever recorded. Should you require certain titles for special reasons then you should contact the company in advance with your requests. However whilst every effort will be made to obtain the titles no guarantees can be given and the company accepts no responsibility for being unable to obtain and play them. If you own the songs yourself, the DJ will be happy to play them for you, however the company accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to your titles in any way whatsoever.

Liability
In the unlikely event that the company is unable to perform the disco at the agreed times and dates, whilst every effort will be made to ensure an alternative disco is arranged, the company will not be held liable to pay any costs for anything whatsoever. In the unlikely event that the company cannot perform the disco for whatsoever reason the company will give a full refund. The company will not be responsible for anything or anyone who is damaged or injured in any way whatsoever.  A Jay's Disco operates a strict no access policy and so no person whatsoever will be allowed in the performing area at any time from the time of arrival until we have left the premises of the function.

Sound limiting devices
We reserve the right to refuse to work in venues which have sound limiting devices installed should it be deemed necessary to do so. If such a device is fitted a smaller show is usually provided. Many sound limiters we encounter work by cutting mains power at source - as a result sudden power loss is very likely to cause serious damage to computer based sound equipment as well as controlled lighting and also can cause expensive damage to speakers & amplification hardware. If damage is caused from such a device to audio or lighting equipment the venue will be fully liable for the cost of any repairs.

Delays
If the performance start time is delayed due to the inability of the DJ to gain access to the performance area, or any other delay beyond the DJ reasonable control, the company will not be liable for any refund whatsoever.

Special effect equipment
We accept no responsibility though either the use or consequences of using special effect equipment. It is up to the customer to ensure relevant precautions are taken and the relevant people are informed prior to the function.
