TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please read on the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website
(www.sulpont.com), booking, services, and requests (the “Service”). These Terms and Conditions
(the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Sul Pont, a company to be incorporated
(“Sul Pont,” “we”, “our” and “us”). By using this website or engaging Sul Pont in the
provision of the Service in any way, you are confirming that you have read and understood the
Terms, our Privacy and Cookie Policy, and accept all of them.
The Terms will remain in effect at all times while you use the Service or any Data obtained
through the Service. These Terms govern your access to the Service and use of all Data and
other information on Sul Pont’s websites, requests, and other properties and include the
provisions in this document.
For the purposes of this document, Sul Pont might be referred to as “an agent”. The term
“creative freelancer” may consist of performers, DJs, band members, duos, solo artists,
photographers, videographers, dancers, event hosts, and other creative freelancers. The term
“client” refers to the person or entity that has booked or would like to book the performance,
work, or use the Service in another way than a creative freelancer or an agent.
Sul Pont acts as an agent between you and other users. In order to book a performance or work
from a creative freelancer, you and another user shall enter into a separate contract
(“Booking Contract”). Any responsibility for the fulfillment of such a Booking Contract is
between you and another user only. Sul Pont accepts no liability for non-fulfillment or breach
of the Booking Contract save any breach of our responsibilities.
Any booking whether confirmed verbally, electronically, or in writing will be a legally
binding contract subject to the following non-negotiable Terms. This document may be used in
conjunction with a contract and/or rider, if any.

book or get booked for any performances directly with any person or venue associated with
the user you have entered into a Booking Contract with. You agree that any opportunity,
directly or indirectly arising from a performance booked through Sul Pont, should be
negotiated through Sul Pont. If any potential client approaches a creative freelancer for a

Contract shall cover Sul Pont’s damage in the amount of (I) 1000 EUR (one thousand) or (II)

with corresponding claim sent by Sul Pont.
- Sul Pont Service is subject to charge (“Service Fee”). The amount of the Service Fee shall
be calculated in accordance with the contract value, which varies from one creative
freelancer to another. The Service Fee invoice and payment details shall be sent to you by
Sul Pont via your contact information, provided at the moment of registration on the
website. In the event you fail to pay the Service Fee in accordance with such invoice, Sul
Pont reserves the right to terminate the Booking Contract and suspend or terminate your

Our Responsibilities
- Sul Pont shall offer help and advice in the search and negotiation process with both parties
(you and another user) and act as a “go-between” in the build up to a Booking Contract.

within the performance is the responsibility of the creative freelancer. This includes, but
is not limited to: arriving at the venue on time, working to a high standard, performing for
the agreed length of time, playing agreed music, behaving in a professional manner, etc.
- In the unlikely event that a creative freelancer does not meet the expectations of a client
or cancels the performance, then Sul Pont might endeavour to replace any future performances
with a more appropriate act or try to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible. If
no suitable replacement is available, then Sul Pont accepts no liability.
