Your Encore Account and your Encore Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. FEES AND SERVICES Encore also charges a percentage of the sale price when a musician is booked for an opportunity via a Listing or direct contact with the musician through the Site. This fee shall apply for any Listing added through the Site which a Member musician receives remuneration for at any time, irrespective of where subsequent communication took place. Encore’s Features and Fees are subject to change. Increase to the Features & Fees for Encore's services are effective immediately after Encore posts updates to the Site. However, Encore may choose to temporarily change the Features & Fees for its services for promotional events; such changes are effective when Encore posts the temporary promotional event on the Site. Encore may decrease the fees as stated in the Features & Fees with no notice to you. Encore may, at its sole discretion, change some or all of Encore's services at any time. In the event Encore introduces a new service, the fees for that service are effective at the launch of the new service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in UK Pounds (GBP). Client accounts must stay up-to-date with all fees owed or the account may be suspended until all outstanding fees are paid in full. Any Member account can be closed or downgraded at any time. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with using Encore. Encore keeps accepted payment information in accordance with its Privacy Policy. If fees are due to Encore then we will invoice the Client for the amount due. This amount will be taken automatically by Encore where possible 2 working days later. Fees and Termination: If Encore terminates a listing or your account, if you close your account, or if the payment of your Encore fees cannot be completed for any reason, you remain obligated to pay Encore for all unpaid fees plus any penalties, if applicable. If the Client's account is not paid in full, the Client risks penalties such as the suspension of privileges, termination of the account and/or legal action. If you have a question or wish to dispute a charge, contact Encore. Where applicable, Taxes (such as VAT in Europe) may also be charged in respect of fees. Client Fees are included in the Total Fees. Please note that Encore, may impose or deduct foreign currency processing costs on or from any payments or payouts by Encore in currencies other than UK Pounds. More information on any such costs or deductions will be available via the Site and Application. More information on Services Fees can be found at www.encoremusicians.com/help. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable. ROUNDING OFF Encore may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Clients or Musicians to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest pound, euro or other supported currency); for example, Encore may round up an amount of £101.50 to £102.00, and £101.49 to £101.00. PAYMENT PROCESSING ERRORS We will take steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we become aware of. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same payment method used for the original payout to or payment by you, so that you end up receiving or paying the correct amount. LISTINGS Any individual may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the opportunity to be listed, including, but not limited to, the date and time, the location, the services required, the fee and other financial details such as expenses available. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Listings must relate to genuine opportunities for Services, and a fee status of Paid or Unpaid must be clearly specified. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. Other Members will be able to apply for your Listing via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Musician requests a booking of your Listing, you may not request the Musician to accept a lower fee than in the booking request. You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of an opportunity in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as music agencies, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Services included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Encore assumes no responsibility for a Client’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Encore reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Encore, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or Encore's then-current Policies and Community Guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site, Application or Services. If you are a Musician, you understand and agree that Encore does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Client requests a booking of your Services, any agreement you enter into with such Client is between you and the Client and Encore is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Encore may serve as the limited authorised payment collection agent of the Musician for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Musician, payments from Clients of such amounts stipulated by the Musician (including expenses or other fees and/or Taxes). Encore recommends that Musicians obtain appropriate insurance for their work and equipment. Please review any insurance policy that you may have carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Clients (and the individuals the Client invites to the event, if applicable) while carrying out your booked Services. NO ENDORSEMENT Encore does not endorse any Member or any Musician. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although Encore may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background. Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Encore about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site, Application and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to book a Musician or to accept a booking request from a Client, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. We are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members. By using the Site, Application or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Encore with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Site and Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Musician against Encore regarding the remittance of payments received from a Client by Encore on behalf of a Musician, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability". Fee Avoidance: The price stated in each booking Listing, enquiry or application description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Members may not alter prices to avoid fees in any way. You may not alter the booking price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Encore transaction fees, misrepresent the event’s location, or use another user's account without permission. You may not artificially adjust expenses on the booking to alter Encore’s fee. Sellers may not encourage buyers to purchase services listed on Encore outside of the Encore site, such as directly through their own website. This may also constitute fee avoidance. Badge use: If a Musician would like to use the “Find me on Encore” badge to advertise and promote their listing on Encore, they are free to do so. Details can be found on the Encore help pages (www.encoremusicians.com/help). BOOKINGS AND FINANCIAL TERMS FOR CLIENTS The Musicians, not Encore, are solely responsible for honouring any confirmed bookings and making available any Services reserved through the Site, Application and Services. If you, as a Client, choose to enter into a transaction with a Member for the booking of a Musician, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Musician and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Services imposed by the Musician. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Encore, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Encore is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Encore disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Client before the Client sends a booking request to a Musician. As noted above, the Musician is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Musician), any amounts collected by Encore will be refunded to such Client, depending on the selections the Client makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorisation of such Client's credit card will be released, if applicable. You as a Client agree to pay Encore for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Encore Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Musician. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Musician's confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Encore, on behalf of the Musician, reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorisation via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one euro or one British pound), to verify your credit card. As a general rule, Encore will collect the Total Fees due once Encore receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Musician; if necessary, Total Fees may instead be collected at a later point. Please note that Encore cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Client by his or her bank related to Encore's collection of the Total Fees, and Encore disclaims all liability in this regard. In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name and credit card information either to Encore Payments or its third-party payment processor(s). You agree to pay Encore for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Encore Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application, e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorise the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Encore or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Site or Application. If you are directed to Encore's third-party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarising your confirmed booking. INJURY & DAMAGE TO INSTRUMENTS OR EQUIPMENT Encore will not be liable for any injury to persons or damage to instruments or equipment resulting from a booking through the Site or Application. We encourage musicians to check, and if necessary purchase, their insurance policy before performing any Services. Encore is not party to any disagreement between Clients and Musicians regarding claims for damages of any form.

Your content must not modify, adapt or hack Encore or modify another website so as to falsely imply that it is associated with Encore; furthermore, you must not list any Services on Encore (or conclude any transaction that was initiated using Encore's service) that, by paying to Encore a commission fee, could cause Encore to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation, or that violates the Terms of Use. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY Nothing in a contract under these terms and conditions will: limit or exclude any liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence; limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; limit any liabilities in any way that is not permitted under applicable law; or exclude any liabilities that may not be excluded under applicable law.

BREACHES OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS Without prejudice to our other rights under these terms and conditions, if you breach these terms and conditions in any way, or if we reasonably suspect that you have breached these terms and conditions in any way, we may: send you one or more formal warnings; temporarily suspend your access to our website; permanently prohibit you from accessing our website; block computers using your IP address from accessing our website; contact any or all of your internet service providers and request that they block your access to our website; commence legal action against you, whether for breach of contract or otherwise; and/or suspend or delete your account on our website. Where we suspend or prohibit or block your access to our website or a part of our website, you must not take any action to circumvent such suspension or prohibition or blocking (including without limitation creating and/or using a different account). PROHIBITED, QUESTIONABLE AND INFRINGING ITEMS AND ACTIVITIES You are solely responsible for your conduct and activities on and regarding to Encore and any and all data, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio, video, items, and links that you submit, post, and display on Encore. CONTENT License: Encore does not claim ownership rights in your Content. You grant Encore a licence solely to enable Encore to use any information or Content you supply Encore with so that Encore is not violating any rights you might have in that Content. You grant Encore a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights you have in the Content, in any media now known or not currently known, with respect to your Content. You agree to allow Encore to store or re-format your Content on Encore and display your Content on Encore in any way as Encore chooses. Encore will only use personal information in accordance with Encore's Privacy Policy. By uploading Content to Encore you promise that you own and/or have the right to use such Content in this manner and that such Content does not infringe any third party intellectual property rights. In the event that Encore receives a complaint in respect of any Content posted by you it shall be your sole responsibility to deal with such a complaint and to compensate Encore for any loss suffered. Encore reserves the right to remove any such Content immediately. Re-Posting Content: By posting Content on Encore, it is possible for an outside website or a third party to re-post that Content. You agree to hold Encore harmless for any dispute concerning this use. Idea Submissions: Encore considers any (unsolicited or otherwise) suggestions, ideas, proposals or other material submitted to it by users via the Site or otherwise (other than the Content) (collectively, the "Material") to be non-confidential and non-proprietary, and Encore shall not be liable for the disclosure or use of such Material. If, at Encore's request, any member sends Material to improve the site (for example to customer support), Encore will also consider that Material to be non-confidential and non-proprietary and Encore will not be liable for use or disclosure of the Material. Any communication by you to Encore is subject to this Agreement. You hereby grant and agree to grant Encore, under all of your rights in the Material, a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable and transferable right and license to incorporate, use, publish and exploit such Material for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, including but not limited to incorporating it in the systems, documentation, or any product or service, without compensation or accounting to you and without further recourse by you. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS AND PRIVATE MESSAGING Users are solely responsible for interactions with others. Users understand that Encore does not in any way screen its users. All users agree to exercise caution and good judgment in all interactions with others, particularly if meeting offline or in person. Messaging is your way to communicate privately with booking clients and other Encore members. It’s essentially email, but purely for Encore members and clients. Messages are primarily intended for communicating about transactions and bookings that are underway. You must not use Messages to send unsolicited advertising or promotions, or "spam”. You must not pass on email addresses or any other information on to third parties. Spamming other members in order to ask them to ‘follow’ your own profile will not be tolerated. Please use common sense when giving out personal information to others via messaging, for example don’t send someone your credit card details. You must not use messages to knowingly harass, threaten, blackmail or abuse another member. If someone explicitly tells you not to contact them, you must not use Messages to contact them again, unless you are involved in an open transaction. You must not use Messages to interfere with a transaction. This means: You must not contact another member to buy or sell a service listed on Encore outside of the Encore site. This may also constitute fee avoidance. You must not communicate with a member involved in an active or completed transaction to warn the member away from a particular buyer, seller or Service. As an anti-spam measure, sending too many messages too quickly may auto-disable your account. Contact Encore who will review account activity and enable your account if spam-free. Encore may from time to time moderate the content of messages for the security of our members. By using our messaging service you give us permission to check messages for inappropriate or abusive content, or information which may constitute fee avoidance. These checks will only be carried out by trusted members of the Encore team. We will never share, sell or distribute in any way the content of your private messages. INFORMATION CONTROL Encore does not control the Content provided by users that is made available on Encore. You may find some Content to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. There are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretence. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade. By using Encore, you agree to accept such risks and that Encore (and Encore's officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) is not responsible for any acts or omissions of users on Encore. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe buying and selling when using Encore. Other Resources: Encore is not responsible for the availability of outside websites or resources linked to or referenced on the Site. Encore does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such websites or resources. You agree that Encore shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such websites or resources or via pop ups which may appear when accessing the Site from your computer. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES AND RELEASE In the event a dispute arises between you and Encore, please contact Encore. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
