• The cancellation is made within 1 week of the booked date –100%

Access to stage/performance area should be restricted to Sparxsound staff and associates only. (In order to make the event run as successfully as possible, it is preferable to exclude guests from the room in which the event is being held, and restrict to essential venue staff and the band and associates, whilst the band is setting up and sound checking).

The event organiser shall be responsible for behaviour of guests.

Venue/event specific risk assessment can be provided on completion of venue inspection within 4 weeks of event. An additional charge of may be levied to cover the inspection and assessment costs. Please note that Sparxsound will not accept “unsatisfactory risk assessment” as reason for cancellation without cancellation charge if not requested within 12 weeks of event date.

Both Sparxsound and The Hirer will respect any genuine “Act of God”, such as illness in the unlikely event the event has to be cancelled at short notice.

Sparxsound will endeavour to arrange alternative PA facilities should an “Act of God” occur.
