Terms and Conditions for Services
- Quotations
All quotations are valid for 14 days from the date of sending. If for any reason a new quote is required, the price packages may be subject to a price increase.
- Booking Fee
A booking deposit fee is required to secure the date for our services. Upon receipt of the booking deposit fee, we provide a no-quibble 30-day money back guarantee. After the 30 days has elapsed, the booking deposit fee which has been used to secure the date is not refundable nor is it transferrable to another person, another date, or another service - no matter the reason. In accepting the booking deposit fee we turn away all potential work for the date. This booking deposit fee covers the maintenance of our website, online hosting, insurance, promotions, time and work already undertaken, equipment maintenance, etc.
If for any reason we were to cancel the provision of our services to you the client, we of course return the full booking deposit fee along with any monies already paid.
- Payment
The agreed balance fee must be paid on the day.
- Musicians
By default, all bookings for our duo are for Guitar & Cello. In the event of our cellist being sick/unable to play, we run with a violinist. If Stephen (guitarist) were to be sick/unable to play there no longer is a HoneyVoom Duo and we return the full booking deposit fee and any payment already received.
- Timings
If the event runs later than the time frame provided prior to event day, it may not be possible for us to stay on later. If necessary an hourly charge may apply.
​
- Time Management
Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, for all church based wedding ceremonies the allotted duration is 60 minutes (from start of entrance song to completion of exit song). For all non-church based weddings (ie.: civil) the allotted duration is 35 minutes (again, from start of entrance song to completion of exit song). When booked for our combo package of ceremony and drinks reception music, the duration which we perform drinks reception music is always between 60 minutes and 90 minutes. A caveat to this is that in the event of a ceremony being majorly delayed (ie.: anything beyond 15 minutes), the additional time would have to be taken from the drinks reception performance time. For 95% of all weddings, the performance time for drinks reception music is the full 90 minutes. However, as players we do have schedules and timelines which we work to so it is only fair to have a cap in place. The other caveat to this is that if a drinks reception performance is taking place outdoors and we have to use our own gazebo for weather protection, the assembly/disassembly time for the gazebo (which is minimal (ie.: 10 - 12 mins)) would also have to be taken from the overall performance duration. Also, for all outdoor drinks reception performances we are exposed to the elements and it can get very cold but we always strive to perform a minimum of 70 minutes drinks reception music.
​
- Outdoor Performances
For equipment safety reasons we we do prefer to perform indoors. However we are always open to performing outdoors - as long as weather conditions are favourable and safe.
​
- Workplace Safety
For all of our music performances where there is risk of damage to our equipment we always use our own safety barriers. The main purpose of our safety barriers is to protect us (the workers) and our equipment. Our instruments are very fragile and our amplification equipment is very expensive (and it is powered by mains power). By using the barriers we reduce the risk of potential accidents (eg.: drinks being spilled on our equipment and/or a wedding guest inadvertently hitting or falling onto our instruments.)
Upon arrival to a performance location (ie.: our place of work), a safety assessment is carried by Stephen. Hazards are identified and a safe plan of action is put in place and so we reserve the right to always use our own safety barriers (ie.: crowd control barrier/cafe barrier) set-up in front of us. We rarely use the barriers during a ceremony performance, however, for the majority of drinks reception performances (especially indoors where alcohol is available for consumption) we set-up the barriers in front of us to provide a separation.
Our barriers are discreet and professional. This is all an effort to ensure a safe working environment.
- Force Majeure
The due performance of the booking agreement is subject to alteration or cancellation by us owing to any cause beyond our control and being unable to attend your wedding/event. In the event of failure of our musical instruments or ancillary accessories liability shall be limited to a full and complete refund of all monies paid.
- Cancellation of Services
The client may cancel the booking agreement at any time prior to the event by giving WRITTEN notice via email to thehoneyvoomduo@gmail.com. However, as compensation against loss, we shall retain any amounts already paid. Should cancellation be received less than 12 weeks before the date, a 25% charge of the total cost should be payable by the client to us as compensation. If cancellation notice is received fewer than 6 weeks before the date, the full fee may be required as payment by the client to us as compensation.
- Disclaimer
You do not hold The HoneyVoom Duo or any of our players responsible for any accidents, injuries, or damage incurred while on location during any performance.
- Limitation of Liability
In the unlikely event of total musical instrument failure or cancellation of the booking agreement by either party or in any other circumstance the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to the total fee in the booking agreement. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
The HoneyVoom Duo shall be granted complete artistic license in relation to musical arrangement and voicing of all songs performed. Special requests are not binding instruction although every effort is made to comply with the client’s requests.
