This section explains the relationship between Performers (Artists) and Purchasers (Venues) with respect to booking Events, and who’s responsible for what. This section describes what you are both agreeing to when a Purchaser books the services of a Performer with respect to an Event. These terms are set forth in the sample template “Purchaser Agreement” provided for your convenience on the Site.
How an Agreement is Formed
SMARTGIG provides a marketplace platform for Performers and Purchasers of Performer’s services. When a Performer creates an account and provides a list of availability with respect to an Event on SMARTGIG’s Site, the Performer is inviting potential Purchasers to form a contract with the Performer. Any Purchaser who makes an offer with regard to a Performer’s Event availability, which is accepted by the Performer via the SMARTGIG Site, forms a binding contract.
SMARTGIG is NOT a party to this contract — the Purchase Agreement is a direct legal agreement between Performers and Purchasers.
Once an Event is booked and the Purchase Agreement is executed and if applicable to the specific agreement the deposit is received by SMARTGI, the Performer is required to fulfill its contractual obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Once a Performer has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligations to the respective Purchaser.
Throughout the process, Performers and Purchasers owe each other a reasonable standard of care and effort, honest communication, and a dedication to fulfill their respective obligations in connection with the Event. At the same time, Purchasers must understand that when they purchase an Event that involves personal services, there may be changes or delays, and there’s a chance something could happen that prevents the Performer from being able to complete the Event as promised.
To the extent the Purchaser is acting in good faith and is not in breach of its material obligations of the Purchase Agreement, if a Performer is unable to fulfill the Performer’s material obligations (e.g., to perform) with regard to an Event, then the Performer may be in breach of the basic obligations of the Purchase Agreement. To remedy this possible situation, the Performer and Purchaser must each make every reasonable effort to resolve the situation. A Performer in this position has only remedied the situation and met the Performer’s obligations to a Purchaser if the Performer:
This section goes over the details of booking Events in general and things like: (a) how purchase agreements are made with regard to an offer, a counter offer and acceptance of an offer; (b) whether offers can be changed or canceled; (c) how Purchasers can get a full or partial refund; (d) how Purchasers can forfeit their deposit and be liable for a full payment, and force majeure events.
The entire booking process is managed through the Site. Performers in search of Events, use the SMARTGIG platform to grow business, in an efficient, effective, and organized manner. Performers and SMARTGIG internal process direct Purchasers to the Performer’s respective public profile through the Performer’s unique URL. Purchasers submit offers to Performers in connection with Event(s), and receive a response from the Performer with an approval, denial, or counter offer. If either an offer or a counter offer is accepted by the Performer, then the Performer and the Purchaser will move through the steps of contract execution and deposit, for each Event.
THE BOOKING PROCESS
Traffic to the Site will be via unique links embedded within the Booking or Inquiries section of a Performer’s designated web presence. This unique link from a Performer’s designated site opens the Performer’s public SMARTGIG profile page to the Purchaser. The Purchaser has the opportunity to: (a) view general information regarding the Performer (name, photo, social media account stats, upcoming and past event bookings, bio, technical requirements and genre(s).); (b) submit an offer.
The Offer Sheet is comprised of various fields which the Purchaser is required to complete with the information necessary for submission, including event details, Purchaser and venue information, and Performer’s fees and provisions. Submission of the Offer Sheet sets into motion various actions for both the Purchaser and the Performer. The first, being a simultaneous communication. The Purchaser receives a confirmation email from SMARTGIG of the Offer Sheet submission, and the Performer receives a communication directing him/her to the contained the terms of the Offer Sheet. The communication method to the Performer from SMARTGIG will be push notification to their specific account on the Site and sent emails alerting each party to these notifications. The notification to the Performer of a Pending Offer is sent with a link back to the Performer’s private user Dashboard. Through the Performer’s user Dashboard, the Performer is able to view the details of the Offer Sheet, including pricing, location, time, and other pertinent variables. Upon review, with one click, a Performer can approve, decline, or counter this offer.
Upon the submition of the offer, the Purchaser has up to 1 hour (60 minutes) to exercise the option to adjust any of the terms within the offer as long as the Performer has not responded to the offer by accepting, declining or countering the terms of the agreement. If after 1 hour (60 minutes) from the time of the offer being submitted and the Purchaser does not exercise their right to adjust the offer, the current details of the offer are finalized and can then only be adjusted by a counter offer from the respective Performer.
Counter
Every offer includes the optional right, exercisable only by the Performer, to counter certain terms to the offer. The terms are limited to the guarantee amount, ticket split percentage amount, air travel provision amount, meal provision, backline provision, lodging provision, production provision, ground travel provision and merch fee percentage amount. If the Performer exercises such rights and submits the counter offer, the Purchaser will have untill the set expiration date of the offer to either accept or deny the new terms of the countered offer. A number of processes are set in motion once the Performer submits the countered details. The Offer will remain under the "Pending Offers" folder with each user's Dashboard with the activity now set at "Countered". Each user will be notify by email and a push notification to their Site account. The Purchaser will select the appropriate link within the email that will open the appropriate response/confirmation page.
If the Purchaser chooses to decline the offer, the Purchaser will select the “Decline” button. A form will appear with only one field, asking the Purchaser to state their reasoning for declining Performer's Offer. Once completed, this information will be sent to the Performer through SMARTGIG’s internal message system and the Offer Sheet is moved from the "Pending" folder to the Performer’s “Declined” offers folder.
Approval
If the Performer chooses to approve the terms of the Offer Sheet or if the Purchaser chooses to approve the terms of the counter offer from the Performer, a number of processes are set in motion. From the Performer’s user Dashboard, this Offer Sheet is moved from the “Pending Offers” folder on the Performer’s Dashboard, to the Performer’s “Upcoming Bookings" folder. From the Purchaser’s user Dashboard, an email is generated through SMARTGIG and sent to the Purchaser. Only upon confirmation of the agreed upon offer, is the identity (First and Last Name) and contact information of each user (email address) is provided to both parties. The Performer Rider will also be provided by the Performer at the approval of the offer.
SMARTGIG provides a standard music industry event contract referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”. This Purchase Agreement is personalized for each offer submitted with the appropriate show information (Performer, Purchaser, Date, etc.). If applicable, the required guarantee must be submitted through SMARTGIG from the Purchaser in order to complete the required steps. SMARTGIG offers third party payment options paid through STRIPE, the Purchaser will receive a confirmation email, which will include a link to view the agreed contract and receipt of deposit.
All guarantee fees will be paid through SMARTGIG and are fully refundable if the Performer does not meet all the terms of the Purchaser Agreement. The refund will be paid back to the Purchaser upto 30 days after the show event date stated in the Purchaser Agreement.
Decline
If the Performer chooses to decline the offer, the Performer will select the “Decline” button. A form will appear with only one field, asking the Performer to state their reasoning for declining Purchaser’s Offer or Purchaser’s counter offer to the Counter Offer. Once completed, this information will be sent to the Purchaser through SMARTGIG’s internal message system and the Offer Sheet is moved from the "Pending" folder to the Purchaser’s “Declined” offers folder.
