Terms & conditions

BOOKING

Contract

Every Salut verbal agreement is formalised with a written contract. This protects both the client and Salut providing the service. On receipt of our contract, the document should be signed and emailed or posted back to Salut within 7 days.

‍
Fees

Salut require private clients to pay a deposit when booking. The deposit is 50% of the total fee, paid on booking, and then the remaining 50% balance either seven days before the event in question or on the day of the event.

‍
Deposit

The 50% deposit is non-refundable. Salut will only refund the deposit when the engagement has been cancelled by Salut, in this case, the full deposit will be refunded immediately. Should the event need to be postponed due to COVID or a similar global pandemic, the deposit will count towards a new date which is mutually agreeable.

‍
Final Balance

If the final balance fee for any private engagement is agreed to be settled seven days before the event it must be received on or within seven days before the date of the event. The final balance amount is made clear in each contract upon booking.

‍
Cancellation by Salut

In the extremely unlikely event that the band are forced to cancel the agreement due to ill health or injury, Salut will offer the client a refund of both the deposit and the final balance (if this has been received).

‍

‍
Cancellation by Client

• Where cancellation is made within 48 hours of confirmation no cancellation fee is due unless the event date is within the following 30 days, in which case the full booking fee will be due to Salut.
• Where cancellation is made after 48 hours of confirmation but 90 days or more from the event 50% of the total remaining booking fee will be due to Salut.

Deputy Performers

Please note that wherever possible Salut will utilize the line-up represented unless the need arises to substitute a performer due. We have ‘dep’ performers in each position with equivalent ability to cover all eventualities. A reduction in fee for the use of a ‘dep’ performer is not applicable nor does it constitute grounds for cancellation.
