Full Terms of Business as of 1st January 2013
1) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. may act as an Employment Agency or as an Employment Business, at its sole discretion.
2) When acting as an Employment Agency:
a) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. acts as negotiator only and is not a party to the resulting contract. For this reason STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. cannot accept responsibility for non-fulfilment or breach of any such contract, but every reasonable safeguard is assured. Wherever possible in such cases, STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. will make every reasonable effort to replace the artist or engagement with one of similar price and quality.
b) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. seeks to negotiate agreements for The Artist in those branches of the entertainment field for which The Artist is suited by reason of his talent and ability.
c) For the provision of this service STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. charges a fee equivalent to an agreed percentage of the contracted fee receivable by the Artist.
d) The Fee (deposit) is charged for processing your booking. Therefore there is no provision for a refund of depsoit in any circumstances.
e) Where charged to the Artist, the fee (depsoit) will still be due if the Artist fails to appear, said non-appearance being as a result of any action or inaction of the Artist.
f) Where charged to the client the fee (deposit) is normally payable in advance and is always non-refundable.

This is in addition to any amounts that may be payable by either party under the terms of the said contract.
h) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. normally acts as negotiator only and as such may not enter into agreements on behalf of third parties. If at any time STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. is authorised to enter into agreements on behalf of the Artist or the Client for any individual booking, such authority will be made known to both parties during the negotiation.
i) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. may receive fees due to the Artist (for example in the event of a no pickup booking or in the course of arriving at a dispute resolution) but must account to the Artist for any such payments that it receives.
j) Agreements are made separately for each booking, and there is no requirement for any Artist to accept any booking offered. The Artist can therefore end the relationship by simply not accepting any further bookings and the Agent can end the relationship by not offering any such bookings.

a) STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. is a party to each contract and accepts responsibility for its obligations under the terms of each individual agreement including the obligation to pay the contracted fee to the Artist when it is due.

d) The Artist will be employed under a contract for services.
e) Any contract entered into between STYLISH Entertainment Ltd. and the Artist will be for an agreed period (normally one performance) and will not provide for cancellation by either party.
