Clauses and Conditions

1. 1

   PAI can trade at all times as an Employment Business.

2. 2

   The Hirer may enter into a written contract with PAI, and such agreements will reflect a prior binding verbal contract made between PAI and the client. All contracts issued by PAI are subject to these Terms of Business.

3. 3

   Circumstances, such as accident, illness or other events beyond PAI's control, may require that an Artist be replaced with a substitute Artist of similar Fee or quality without notice or compensation. In the event of accidents and illness the Artist, the Agent and the Hirer must be notified immediately and must supply the Agent and the Hirer with a medical certificate within four working days. If no certificate is provided PAI has the right to remove the Artist from our database.

4. 4

   PAI is not responsible for jobs that are cancelled due to bad weather or cancellation of flights due to strikes or COVID-19 outbreaks and lockdowns.

5. 5

   PAI financial terms will be as verbally agreed and will be detailed on the Contract. Prices paid to Artists may be subject to VAT at the current rate but only if the Artist is registered for VAT with HM Customs & Excise.

6. 6

   All hirers and Artists agree that they will not (under any circumstances) pass on their direct contact details to anyone involved in the engagement, as referred to in the Contract, without the prior written consent of PAI.

7. 7

   The Hirer agrees to provide a suitable and safe performing area and, as required, appropriate changing facilities for the Artist. The Hirer must also ensure that where electrical equipment is to be used as part of the Artist's performance, the electrical supply must meet or exceed legal standards.

8. 8

   The Artist accepts this engagement entirely at its own risk and is solely responsible for making all enquiries and arrangements to secure its safety. The Agent and its partners shall in no circumstances whatsoever be liable for any loss, damage or costs suffered by, or caused by, the Artist during this engagement. Therefore the Artist will be responsible for their Public Liability insurance.

9. 9

   The Artist shall not drink alcohol excessively before, during or after their performance. Also, the Artist will not use illegal drugs on the day of the event or at the venue itself in any capacity.

10. 10

    The Artist should be aptly attired for their performance in line with agreements made with the Hirer before the event, and they should remain courteous with the Hirer, guests and employees of the venue. The Artist will not act in any manner that is deemed damaging to the reputation of themselves, the Agent, or the Hirer.

11. 11

    All fees and jobs must only be discussed through and with PAI.

12. 12

    PAI, the Artist and the Hirer agree that any further bookings that arise directly or indirectly must be negotiated through PAI and a comparable fee for the booking shall apply. If the client decides to book an act and then chooses to use any members of the booked act in other shows on different occasions, they are still liable to pay the agent booking fees depending on the charges met by PAI. For example: if you are a solo act booked at the venue from PAI and you go back to the same venue in a different show, you are still liable to pay PAI the booking fee.

13. 13

    The Deposit of 15% for UK acts is taken from the Hirer depending on workload as a non-refundable deposit, and it is constructed on administration work and coordination costs. The loss of Deposit will not affect the final amount with regards to the cancellation fees, and the initially quoted price must be paid to the Artist.

14. 14

    The event may be rescheduled due to COVID-19 local outbreaks. In this situation, negotiations must take place to resolve the booking by the Agent and the Hirer. The deposit agreement will be arranged again as administration and contracts will have to be renewed.

15. 15

    PAI does not pay artists before the event to avoid problems when artists cancel because of illness or lockdowns. We do hold the fee which is taken from the client beforehand, unless otherwise agreed that payment on the evening is appropriate for a specific type of agreement. Please contact PAI if you want your data removed from our website and our internal database. The reason you are on the site is because you emailed PAI to be promoted there.

16. 16

    Clients booking artists have 48 hours from confirmation of booking to pay the deposits. After this period PAI may have to re-contact the Artist to check availability, and this may incur additional administration fees that will be added to the cost of the booking. Any deposits given to PAI beforehand will be lost if the Hirer cancels the event.

Cancellation Terms

In the event of cancellation by the Hirer, a fee is due to the Artist as per the following scale:
