Yes I agree, if everything is set out in writing before they start, then students can’t really say anything about policy etc – I’ve had one situation very similar before and it was horrible but 99.9% of students are lovely, and understand the policy and cancellation terms- and are fine with it!

Hey Steph,
I would advise her to see her GP who can then refer her to an ENT specialist.

No it’s pretty straight forward on contracts. One site is like a platform/ where if an act accepts and books a gig then a set booking fee is generated and invoiced to the act- this is at the point of the act and client both confirming the band. I think the terms and conditions are all pre-set out between the site and act and once you pay the booking fee- you are agreeing to the terms. We do a deposit with the client, so that even if they do cancel after the booking fee is paid- we are not out of pocket as the deposit has covered the booking fee we’ve paid if that makes sense?
In this instance, the booking fee is quite minimal so I think it works well, let me know any other questions about this type of stuff – happy to help if I can x

Hey Tom
This sounds like a great new platform! I always like the idea of something made ‘by artists- for artists!’
To answer your question, over the years we have enjoyed working with various agents. Some have taken far too steep cuts for their services, and others have been more fair in their booking fee/ commission (10-15%) so they are the ones we continue to work with. I think it’s important for any platform to be very transparent and user friendly from the act and also the clients point of view.
Booking terms should be clear cut- so everyone knows where they stand on T&C’s (including the agent). They are some of the things we have liked about our agents. Hope that helps and I look forward to seeing how Gigstarter progresses!
