BOOKING, PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY
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.
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.
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:
