Terms Of Business:

First Impressions Discos terms of business are divided into parts. All parts shall apply to any and all contracts negotiated and shall be the basis for any and all bookings.

Part A - Definitions:
1. First Impressions Discos is a trading name of CEE Worldwide Entertainment.

2. Any person or organization transacting business with or engaging services from First Impressions Discos shall hereafter be known as 'The Client'.

Part B - Booking And Payment Terms:
1. We will hold a date for the intended client for an initial period of 7 days from the date of the enquiry subject to our being available in the first instance. If The Client does not confirm the booking within this time period we reserve the right to accept other enquiries and/or bookings. Once a date is confirmed the non refundable deposit at the rate indicated in our pricing schedule shall become payable immediately and contracts for the booking shall be issued. Non receipt of/nor return of a signed contract shall not constitute a cancellation by either party. Cancellations may only be made in accordance with the cancellation terms and the deposit shall still be payable under any and all circumstances.

2. A booking is not considered final until you receive our confirmation by email or by post. The Contract shall specify payment details, arrival time, and start time (The start time shall be the time that music commences). Contracts shall be issued by our parent company CEE Worldwide Entertainment Agency and their Terms Of Business shall also apply.

3. All outstanding fees or balances are payable by cheque no later than 10 working days before an event (cheque must be received by us within this time frame) or in cash prior to the DJ commencing entertainment of the evening unless agreed otherwise. You may also pay by credit or debit card or by bank transfer using PayPal, if you opt to make payment via PayPal any outstanding payments must be made at least 7 days prior to the event. In the event that payment is made by cheque you must make sure that there are sufficient funds to cover its encashment. If a cheque is refused and payment not credited to our account, we will not attend the function, we will invoice you for the full amount due and we will add a surcharge of £28.00 + VAT to cover bank charges and our administration costs. Non clearance of a cheque shall be regarded as a breach of contract by The Client and treated accordingly.

4. In the extremely unlikely event of the disco having to cancel, any monies paid to us by The Client shall be refunded in full (this will include any deposit which would normally be non-refundable). We will also endeavor in helping to find a replacement DJ or Disco. (This will be the full extent of the disco's liability or that of the parent company CEE Worldwide Entertainment Agency)

5. All fees are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.

6. All cheque's must be made payable to CEE Worldwide Entertainment.

• Cancellations will only be accepted from the person who made the original booking
• Cancellations must clearly state the reason for the cancellation
• Cancellations shall be subject to cancellation fees at our discretion
• The date of a cancellation shall be the date upon which it is received by us, not the day on which it is sent
• All cancellations by e-mail must be sent to cancel@wedding-disco-hire.co.uk and should request a read acknowledgement

2. Cancellation fees shall be at our discretion, based on the date received by us and calculated using the following charging scale:

First Impressions Discos and any associated companies shall not be liable for any compensation claims arising from a cancellation.

4. First Impressions Discos and any associated companies shall not be held liable for consequential loss The Client may suffer in the event that a Booking is cancelled.

Part D - Setup And Safety
1. We require access to the function room at least 1 hour and 30 minutes prior to the start time and up to 60 minutes to pack up and vacate the venue. It is your responsibility to inform the venue of this and to make sure that this will not be problematic. Large shows may take more time to set up and pack up and should this be the case you will be advised of this prior to taking the booking.

2. Where early setup is required it will incur a rate specified in our pricing schedule. Equipment will be set up and tested. The site should then be non accessible to others (ie locked), and should any tampering of the equipment cause it to fail later then First Impressions Discos shall not be held responsible. This shall also apply where PA systems are supplied for speeches etc.

3. The Client shall make sure that the venue can meet the power requirements of the equipment to be used, so that no power supply is overloaded. It is The Client's responsibility to ensure the venue is equipped with at least 1 safe, working standard double socket on a 32Amp ring main, two are preferred. These should be in the immediate vicinity of where the disco is to be set up. If we are required to use CEE form power connectors we can do so but must be notified of the following:

• Rating of supply socket ie 16Amp, 32Amp, 64Amp or 125Amp
• The type of connection ie Single Phase or Triple Phase

If unsure of any of these details The Client should make sure we have the contact details of the venue or company supplying the electrical feed so we can make sure. We will work from information supplied so if it is incorrect we accept no responsibility, subsequently in the wrong information is supplied which results in the event not being able to take place First Impressions Disco and any of its associated companies shall not be held liable.

4. We take our clients safety and ours seriously, and should an adequate power supply not be available we reserve the right to limit the equipment that we use or to cancel the engagement if we feel that by going ahead people may be put at risk. If a venue is found to be unsuitable or dangerous and we are forced to cancel then no refund shall be payable.

5. The Client also agrees that First Impressions Discos, at all times, will allow adequate traveling time to fulfil their hire obligations but accept no liability for late starting due to any act of God, War, Strikes, Industrial Disputes or Accidents, Fire, Flood, Drought, Adverse Weather or other cause beyond our control. The Client would be advised of this situation as soon as possible. The Client then and only then would have the choice of continuing with our services at the fully agreed price or canceling our services without cancellation charges being applied. In such circumstances First Impressions Discos will commence the show at the earliest opportunity.
In the event of vehicle breakdown we will use another vehicle if one is available. If another vehicle is not available we will do our best to hire one at no charge to The Client so as to fulfill our booking obligations. Should it be that a breakdown occurs and no other vehicle is available, and that it is not possible to hire one, we may cancel the booking and refund the full amount paid to us by The Client. In such instances The Client waives any and all rights to seek further compensation in any form, including litigation.

6. Where a reception is running late hindering setup of the disco by First Impressions Discos The Client agrees that First Impressions Discos shall not be held responsible, and that full payment is still required. First Impressions discos under these circumstances agrees to set up as soon as possible and to commence the show at the earliest opportunity.

7. First Impressions Discos shall not be held responsible for any loss of electrical power either permanent or temporary.

8. If, upon arrival at the venue, First Impressions Discos are unable to perform the service/s for which they have been contracted because:

• Access is refused or impossible
• The venue has been misrepresented by The Client
• For reasons outside the control of First Impressions Discos it is impossible to set up

it shall be regarded that The Client is in breech of contract with First Impressions Discos. In such an event First Impressions Discos shall be deemed to have fulfilled its contractual obligation to The Client and reserves the right to leave the venue forthwith. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be the responsibility of The Client to ensure First Impressions Discos and its agents are able to perform their part of the Contract and that details upon which the Contract is based are entirely accurate. Failure to do so will terminate the Contract and any responsibility First Impressions Discos has to The Client.

Part E - Damage To/Theft Of Equipment And Threats To Staff

Part F - Client Liaison, Co-Ordination And Children
1. Although respectful of any of your guests suggestions that may be made on the night First Impressions Discos will remain responsible to the person who placed the booking or their appointed representative. This avoids the possibility of contradictory instructions. In a case where instructions given to us may cause problems with other attendees we will refer them to the person we are responsible to or the appointed representative to deal with the matter.

2. First Impressions Discos will always coordinate our services with other professionals The Client may have engaged such as photographer, catering staff or other entertainers etc. First Impressions Discos will respond to polite requests as appropriate but do not take absolute instructions from a third party.

4. The supervising adults will ensure that the children do not interfere with the disco equipment or prevent the DJ from performing his duties of playing music and entertaining all other guests.

Part G - Sound And Lighting
1. Equipment designed to play loud music or to produce loud sounds (music and public address systems) emit sound pressure waves that can cause a nuisance and are capable of inflicting physical damage to structures and/or hearing which can be irreparable. First Impressions Discos will not knowing use equipment at an output level or in such a manner that will deliberately do damage to health or structure or cause a nuisance.

2. First Impressions Discos will not work in any venue where we have to plug into power sockets controlled by a sound limiter. Sound limiters typically cut power to these sockets if tripped which can irrevocably harm our equipment. We may at our discretion work such a venue ONLY if said venue allows us to use sockets not controlled by any sound limiter, and the venue must confirm this in writing before we will consider doing so. Should we agree to carry out a contract at such a venue and are subsequently required to use sockets controlled by a sound limiter we reserve the right to refuse to perform. The subsequent requirement to us having to use such sockets will be deemed a breach of contract for which The Client shall accept full and total responsibility, and full payment will still be required.

In the event a sound limiter is installed after a contract has been accepted and issued, the installation of the limiter will be classed as an amendment to the contract. First Impressions may impose limitations such as those listed above or choose to cancel the contract, without penalty.

3. Light shows may include the use of various types of lighting. The Client should check that guests attending the venue do not suffer from medical conditions exacerbated by bright or flashing lights. First Impressions Discos will rely entirely on instructions from The Client on appropriate use. The Client shall at all time remain responsible and ensure First Impressions Discos remain informed. Please note that whilst strobe lights are a common cause of photo sensitive epilepsy, the condition can be triggered by other lighting and even monitor screens. First Impressions Discos cannot be held liable for any seizure or other effect that may be suffered by any guest.
