  1. PRIVACY POLICY

 

Airstage® recognises the importance of maintaining the privacy of personal data, which it collects and processes. By accepting these Terms you expressly agree to be bound by the Airstage Privacy Policy, which can be accessed at (the link of the privacy policy).

 

  1. BOOKING, PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY

 

  1. Booking of an artist to perform at an event is done by a user. Airstage® serves only as a mediatory facilitating this action. The booking agreement is solely a responsibility of the artist and user booking the artist and is thus negotiated between them.

 

  1. The booking of the artist can be done a minimum of three calendar days in advance of the desired event date. It is only possible when both parties have provided their payment card details, in order to be able to send and/or receive funds.

 

  1. The user, looking for an act to perform at an event, contacts the chosen artist directly by sending a booking request through the Book option on the artist’s Airstage® Beta App profile. Airstage® is not to be held responsible for any arrangements regarding the event, duration of performance, amount of fee, etc. being made between the artist and the user.

 

  1. In case additional demands or needs arise from any of the artist or user’s sides, such as but not limited to performance requirements, food & beverage, transport, backline, etc., these are to be communicated directly by both parties, using the chat facilities provided by Airstage® Beta App.

 

  1. All additional arrangements, related in any way to the event, established in the chat communication between the user and artist are also deemed as part of the booking agreement and must, as such, also be taken into account.

 

  1. On the Airstage® Beta App, the booking of an artist by a user to perform at an event, is deemed completed only if the following conditions are met:

 

  • The user approaches the desired artist directly via the artist’s Airstage® Beta App profile;

 

  • The user sends the artist a booking request, listing all event details in regards to date, time, duration, location, and proposed fee;

 

  • The user and artist discuss the booking request details for any questions that may arise or additional information may be needed;

 

  • The user updates the discussed booking request details;

 

  • The artist accepts the finalised user’s booking request;

 

Once the booking request has been accepted by the artist, saved on the system and made visible, amendments can still be made, however cancellations may result in a penalty. Penalties and cancellations are discussed in more details further in this policy.

 

  1. Users and artists fabricating event bookings, in order to get better rating and status on the Airstage® Beta App, are subject to temporary or permanent suspension from the App and Website services. Airstage® takes very seriously any form of falsification. Anyone discovered being involved in such activity will be penalised.

 

  1. Users and artists arranging and/or confirming event bookings outside of the Airstage® platform, in order to avoid paying Airstage® its due handling fee, are subject to temporary or permanent suspension from the App and Website services. While Airstage® cannot and will not force its services on anyone, it would only be artists and users’ loss not to take advantage of the opportunities Airstage® gives.

 

  1. On the Airstage® Beta App, once the artist accepts the booking request of the user and the booking is confirmed, the following occurs:

 

  • The total amount of the fee outlined in the booking gets blocked on the user’s chosen method of payment three to seven calendar days prior to the event date (depending on the card issuer and how many days prior to the event the booking has been made).

 

  • One calendar day after the event, Bluesnap (the third party secure payment software integrated on our platform) transfers the funds, blocked on the user’s payment card used to complete the booking, to the respective recipients. Namely the artist, entitled to an Artist fee equaling 90% of the total fee amount, and Airstage®, entitled to a Handling fee equaling 10% of the total fee amount. These fees are payable by the user initiating the booking.

 

  1. In the occasion when there are insufficient funds in the user’s payment card provided to confirm the booking, the user is obliged to either provide a new payment method or add funds to the existing one in the following 24 hours. Failure to do so for whatever reason will result in the booking being automatically cancelled on the Airstage® system. The latter may result in a penalty for the user (discussed in more details further in this policy).

 

  1. In the occasion when something goes wrong before, during, or after the event, both sides are entitled to opening a dispute. Since Airstage® is not liable for any related arrangements done by the artist and user prior to the event, it is also not liable for any arising issues post the event. Matters of such kind are to be handled solely by the user and artist. Reasons for opening a dispute could be but are not limited to failure of both sides to keep an already agreed arrangement, mistreatment, misbehavior, misinformation, misrepresentation, etc. In cases when no resolution can be obtained and/or monetary claims are being made, please write to community@airstage.co and we will do our best to sort the situation neutrally and fairly.

 

  1. Generally, the artist and user (booker) are not allowed to cancel an already confirmed event booking. If they do, certain penalties may apply:

 

  • Artist: If the artist cancels more than 7 calendar days prior to the event, it is the artist’s duty to find a suitable replacement act for the user. Only if successful and the substitute act is accepted by the user, there will be no penalty.

 

Failure to do so will result in a bad rating and review for the artist, which will have a negative effect and overall decrease the chance of appearing in artist discovery searches on the Airstage® Beta App.

As a compensation to the user Airstage® will recommend or attempt to provide a replacement artist for the already scheduled event.

 

If the artist cancels within 7 calendar days of the event date, this will result in a bad rating and review, weakened appearance in artist discovery searches on the Airstage® Beta App, as well as temporary or permanent suspension from all Airstage services.

 

The same applies in the case of a “No-show” or “Late arrival”. Airstage reserves the right to permanently suspend the artist from using all Airstage services if two or more “No-show” or “Late arrival” are associated with the artist’s Airstage® Beta App account.

 

  • User: If the user booking the artist cancels more than 7 calendar days prior to the event, it is the user’s duty to offer another performance to the artist in the following month. Only if the new event date is suitable and the artist accepts the new booking request, there will be no penalty.

 

Failure to do so will result in a bad rating and review for the user, which will have a negative effect and overall limitation of the searchability and discoverability options offered by the Airstage® Beta App.

 

As a compensation to the artist Airstage® will attempt to provide a replacement performance for the already scheduled event date.  

 

If the user cancels within 7 calendar days of the event date, this will result in a bad rating and review, overall limitation of the searchability and discoverability options offered by the Airstage® Beta App, as well as temporary or permanent suspension from all Airstage® services.

 

The same applies in the case when the booking has automatically been cancelled by the system due to insufficient funds in the user’s payment card and failure to provide a new payment method. The user is deemed responsible in such a scenario.

 

Below you can see a recap of the aforementioned:
