Cancellation and Refund Policy DJ SOUNDZ LIMITED Cancellation & Refund Policy 1. Scope & Applicability This Cancellation & Refund Policy applies to all bookings, agreements and contracts entered into between DJ SOUNDZ LIMITED and a client for the provision of DJ, sound, lighting or related services. By confirming a booking with us, you accept and agree to this Policy. 2. Payment Terms & Deposit a. All payments for Services are due in advance or on the night of the event (as specified in the booking confirmation). b. At the time of booking, you are required to pay a deposit in order to secure the date. The deposit amount will vary depending on the length, complexity, and scale of the event. c. The deposit is credited against the total cost of the Services. The outstanding balance (if any) must be paid in full by you, either in advance or on the night of the event, as agreed. 3. Cancellation by You (the Client) 3.1 Cancellation with at Least 24 Hours Notice If you cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the scheduled event start time: • Your deposit will be refunded in full (this is DJ SOUNDZ LIMITED personal guarantee). • If you have already paid in full for the event, we will refund the full amount to you. • Any service fee payments you paid will also be refunded. 3.2 Cancellation Less than 24 Hours Notice If you cancel your booking within 24 hours of the event scheduled start: • We reserve the right to retain up to 100% of the deposit. • That is the maximum we may keep. We will refund any other amounts already paid, subject to this clause. • You will not be liable for more than the deposit. 4. Cancellation by Us (DJ SOUNDZ LIMITED) While it is our aim to deliver all Services as agreed, we reserve the right to cancel in exceptional or unavoidable circumstances. In such cases: • We will notify you as soon as practicable. • We will refund your deposit or any amounts already paid (unless performance can still be delivered, in which case we may propose a rescheduled date). • We will not be liable for consequential losses beyond refunding amounts paid (unless otherwise agreed in writing). 5. Legal & Consumer Rights — Compliance with UK Law 5.1 Consumer Rights Act 2015 Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, consumers have certain entitlements in relation to services and refunds. Among other things: • If you have paid money under a contract and you are entitled to a refund, you are entitled to receive back the relevant amount. • Refunds must be given without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days from when the trader agrees that a refund is due. • The refund must be made using the same means of payment as the consumer used, unless you expressly agree otherwise. • We may not impose any additional fee on the consumer in respect of making the refund. By offering full refunds (in line with our 24‑hour notice policy) and not charging cancellation fees beyond deposit retention, we aim to remain fair and compliant with the spirit of the Act. 5.2 Unfair Terms & the Consumer Contracts Guidance The UK guidance on cancellation and deposits requires that non‑refundable deposits should generally only be a small percentage of the total price, and any cancellation charge must fairly reflect the actual loss the business incurs. Terms that allow excessive retention beyond actual loss may be ruled unfair and unenforceable. As such, our policy 24-hour requirement is consistent with these exceptions: once the service is scheduled at a fixed date/time, the normal cooling-off regime does not apply. 5.3 Exclusion of Cooling-Off Period You should note that under the Consumer Contracts regulations, consumers normally have a 14-day cooling-off right to cancel services booked at a distance. However, this cooling-off right typically does not apply to services that are for a specific date or event (such as DJ services, bookings for weddings, entertainment events, etc.). Hence, our policy 24-hour requirement is consistent with these exceptions: once the service is scheduled at a fixed date/time, the normal cooling-off regime does not apply. 5.4 Mitigation of Loss Under consumer protection principles, when calculating cancellation retention, businesses must take reasonable steps to mitigate their losses (for example, by attempting to re‑book the slot). We commit to doing so: for example, upon your cancellation we may attempt to reallocate the slot or adjust staffing, and the retained deposit will be commensurate with unavoidable costs we incur (staffing, equipment booking, lost opportunity) rather than a punitive charge.

We also display these event policy rules at events for the safety of all staff and attendees! If you're booking a private event and you're approved for an exclusion to this policy please seek the DJ Booth Policy. This remains the same at all times and if broken can result in us terminating your event there on the day. • Make sure the venue is a decent size for the package you have ordered. Our staff may request that we do a visit to the venue. You are not required to attend this but you are more than welcome.

In unexpected circumstances just please make sure to let someone know on the day. Our staff carry very very heavy equipment and falling over can cause serious injury. • We will designate smoking areas at events. We may sign these or sometimes we may just let people at the event know. Any event with over 50 people will always have the health and safety policy in place. Again this is below. • If we feel like our staff are receiving any abuse during the event or the event we have attended is breaking any legal laws, we may involve the police who will attend the event. From here the event will be closed down and you may NOT receive any refund for the event. • We will designate smoking areas at events.

DJ BOOTH POLICY • DO NOT ENTER THE DJ BOOTH AT ANY TIME! • If you wish to request a song, use a piece of paper and a pen you will find at the event. Write down your song and artist and then pass it to the DJ. If you can locate this feel free to stand next to the booth and await for the DJ to be free to talk to you. • Do NOT touch any equipment that is present at the event including lights and speakers. • We own the right to charge the damage of any equipment to the event host we are working with!! If we damage the equipment of course we won't do that.

If your song has not been played within 30 mins please go back to the desk! If we can see on our recent play that we have we will let you know you missed and we can re-add it to the queue. Otherwise, if we can not see it we will play it as the NEXT song! That's policy! • We won't tolerate abuse or aggressive behavior and we will call the local authorities and pack up if we receive any of this! ⚠️ WARNING!
