8.3 This payment arrangement is intended to secure the DJ’s entitlement to payment following performance while protecting the Organizer in the event of non-performance, cancellation, material breach or a valid dispute in accordance with these Terms.

8.4 A booking shall be deemed confirmed only once (a) the DJ has accepted the booking request; and (b) full payment has been successfully received through the Platform’s designated payment service provider.

8.5 For the purpose of these Terms, an event shall be deemed “successfully completed” where:
(a) the DJ has attended and performed the agreed services; and
(b) no dispute or claim of non-performance or material breach has been raised by the Organizer within twenty-four (24) hours following the scheduled end time of the event.

8.6 Subject to Clause 9, upon successful completion of the event, LineupBridge shall:
(a) deduct its applicable platform commission and/or service fees; and
(b) release the remaining booking amount to the DJ.

8.7 If no notification of non-performance, material breach, or dispute is received within the 24-hour period referred to above, the Platform shall be entitled, without further confirmation, to treat the event as successfully completed and proceed with the release of funds in accordance with Clause 8.6.

9. Cancellation, Non-Performance and Refund

9.1 Cancellation by Organizer

Where a confirmed booking is cancelled by the Organizer, the following shall apply:
(a) Cancellation more than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled event date, then the Organizer shall be entitled to a full refund of the booking amount;
(b) Cancellation between fifteen (15) days and three (3) days prior to the scheduled event date, then:
(i) the Organizer shall be entitled to a fifty percent (50%) refund of the booking amount; and

(c) Cancellation less than three (3) days prior to the scheduled event date, then the booking amount shall be non-refundable, and the full amount shall be released to the DJ, subject to no prior cancellation, non-performance, or material breach by the DJ, and subject to deduction of any applicable platform commission and/or service fees by LineupBridge.\

For the avoidance of doubt, LineupBridge shall not charge or retain any platform fees or commissions in respect of bookings that are cancelled more than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled event date.

The Organizer and the DJ acknowledge and agree that any partial payments released to the DJ pursuant to Clause 9.1(b) and 9.1(c) are intended to constitute a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and compensation for the DJ in respect of the cancellation of a confirmed booking.

Such amounts reflect, among other things, the potential loss of alternative booking opportunities, preparation time, scheduling commitments, and other commercial arrangements made by the DJ in reliance on the confirmed booking.

The Organizer and the DJ further agree that such payments shall be treated as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

9.2 Cancellation by DJ (Non-Force Majeure)
Where a DJ cancels a confirmed booking for reasons not qualifying as a Force Majeure Event:
(a) the Organizer shall be entitled to a full refund of the booking amount;
(b) LineupBridge reserves the right to apply account-level consequences, including suspension, reduced visibility, or removal from the Platform.

9.3 Force Majeure (Limited Definition for This Clause)

serious illness or medical emergency (supported by reasonable evidence);
government restrictions or legal prohibitions;
travel bans or major transportation disruptions;
natural disasters.\

Force Majeure shall not include:
double bookings;
poor calendar management;
personal or commercial preference decisions.\

9.4 DJ Non-Performance/No-Show

(a) The Organizer must notify LineupBridge of:
DJ non-performance; or
any material breach
within twenty-four (24) hours from the scheduled end time of the event.

(b) If no notification is received within this period:
(i) the event shall be deemed successfully completed; and
(ii) LineupBridge shall be entitled to release the funds in accordance with Clause 8, including deduction of any applicable platform commission and/or service fees.

9.6 Platform Role in Disputes
LineupBridge may, at its discretion:
(a) review evidence submitted by both parties;
(b) temporarily hold funds;
(c) facilitate a reasonable resolution.\

LineupBridge shall not be obliged to act as a formal adjudicator.

9.7 Refund Processing Refunds, where applicable, shall be processed through the original payment method, subject to payment provider processing timelines.

Any refund amount may be subject to deduction of third-party charges, including but not limited to payment processing fees, banking charges, currency conversion costs, or other service provider fees incurred in connection with the original transaction and/or the refund.

Such deductions shall not be considered as fees or commissions retained by LineupBridge.

9.8 Mutual Agreement Override Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 9, the Organizer and the DJ may, at any time, mutually agree in writing (including via the Platform messaging system or email) to vary the financial outcome of any cancellation, including but not limited to full or partial refunds, revised payment allocations, or waiver of amounts otherwise payable.
