2. What Is ARRIVE and How Does It Work?

2.1  Arrive provides an online platform that connects professional and amateur musicians, singers, disc-jockeys, comedians, skit actors, speakers, magicians, dancers, entertainers and performing artists generally with Clients requiring music or other kinds of performing art for live events, recording or other purposes.  

2.2  You may view Performer profiles as an unregistered visitor to Our Platform.  However, if you wish to book a Performer or create a Performer profile, you must first register and create an Arrive account.

2.3  Performers may post a profile on The Arrive Platform which outlines their skill set and advertises the performance they are able to deliver through an Arrive Booking.  These profiles are made available to users and Clients via The Platform.  Upon reviewing the available profiles, Clients may send a Booking Request for their Event to a Performer through The Arrive Platform.  If the Performer accepts the Booking Request, a legally binding contract between the Client and the Performer is thereby formed.

2.4  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ARRIVE IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN PERFORMERS AND CLIENTS, NOR IS ARRIVE A MUSIC AGENT OR INSURER.  ARRIVE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF PERFORMERS, CLIENTS OR OTHER USERS OF THE SITE, OR MOBILE APPLICATION AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY INVOLVING SUCH MATTERS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

2.5  Arrive cannot guarantee and does not warrant the identity, age, or nationality of any user or the accuracy of any information on a user’s profile published on The Arrive Platform.  Accordingly, all users are encouraged to perform their own due diligence in order to verify essential information prior to finalizing a Booking.  Making good use of the direct communication tools available on The Arrive Platform can be an important part of your required due diligence.

2.6  By accepting a Booking Request and forming a contract with a Client, a Performer acknowledges that he/she/they is/are solely responsible for ensuring that all legal requirements and responsibilities connected with the booked performance are or will be satisfied.  Arrive will not be held responsible by either party if Performers are prohibited from entering or working in the country where an Event is physically located.  Arrive recommends that both Performer and Client carry out such timely checks as may be necessary to ensure that the fulfillment of a Booking will not be in breach of any applicable law.

2.7  You agree that Arrive is a marketplace and as such it is not responsible or liable for any Content posted to The Platform by Members or third-parties, including but not limited to data, text, information, usernames, graphics, images, photographs, profiles, audio or video files, and links. 

2.8  Arrive is not an owner, operator or provider of performing art services and Arrive does not own, manage and/or control Performers or the intellectual property owned or used by Performers.  Unless explicitly specified otherwise in this or a superceding Agreement, Arrive’s responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of The Platform and its services; and, (ii) in some cases, serving as the limited payment collection agent for a Performer.

You accept that use of The Arrive Platform is solely at your own risk.

8.2  Arrive’s Fees And Services are subject to change.  Increases to fees for Arrive’s services are effective immediately after Arrive posts the updated fees to The Platform.  However, temporary changes to fees and services for promotional purposes are effective when Arrive posts notice of the temporary promotion on Our Platform.  Arrive may decrease its fees without notice.  

8.3  Arrive may, at its sole discretion, change some or all of its services at any time.  If Arrive 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 US Dollars.

8.6  Fees Upon Termination: If Arrive terminates your account, if you close your account, or if the payment of your Arrive fees are not completed for any reason, then you still remain obligated to pay Arrive for any unpaid balance, including applicable penalties.  If a Client’s account is not paid in full when due, then the Client risks suspension of privileges, termination of his/her Arrive account and/or legal action.  If you have a question or wish to dispute a charge, please contact Arrive as soon as possible.

Arrive may, in its sole discretion, round up or down amounts that are payable from or to Clients or Performers to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency).  Therefore, Arrive may round $101.50 up to $102.00 and may round $101.49 down to $101.00.

10. Payment Processing Errors

We will rectify any payment processing errors as soon as possible after we become aware of them.  This will most likely be done by crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same account or payment method used for the original payment or payout, such that you end up paying or receiving the correct amount.

11. Gigs and Bookings

11.1  As a Client, you understand and agree that once a Performer confirms your Booking Request, you may not ask the Performer to accept a lower fee than what was stated in the Booking Request.

11.2  You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Member Content you post.  Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Member Content you post (and any Event at which you perform): (i) will not breach any agreement you have with a third-party (such as a music agency); and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and legal requirements (such as having all required permits, licenses and registrations and paying or being prepared to pay all applicable taxes and fees); and (b) not conflict with the rights of any third-party.  Arrive assumes no responsibility for any Member’s legal duties to third-parties, nor said Member’s adherence to applicable laws, rules, regulations or other legal requirements.  Arrive reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to or from any Member for any reason.  This may happen if Arrive, in its sole discretion, considers the Member Content or performance (if applicable) to be unacceptable for any reason, including violation of this or any superceding Agreement,  any of Arrive’s policies or guidelines, or if it is otherwise deemed harmful to the Platform.

11.3  If you are a Performer, you understand and agree that Arrive does not act as your insurer or contracting agent.  Any agreement you enter into with a Client is between you and the Client only and Arrive is not a party to it.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrive may serve as the limited payment collection agent of the Performer by collecting payments from Clients in accordance with the terms of the contract formed between said Performer and Client using the services of Our Platform.  The payments so collected will include (when applicable) expenses, other fees and/or taxes.

11.4  Arrive recommends that Performers obtain appropriate insurance for their work and equipment.  Please review any insurance policy that you may have carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions and deductibles that may apply, including but not limited to coverage related to the actions or omissions of Clients (and individuals the Client invites or permits to attend the Event.

12. No Endorsement

12.1  Arrive does not endorse any Member or Performer.  Members are required by this Agreement to provide accurate information to Arrive and other Members, particularly information critical to Booking negotiations.  Nevertheless, and notwithstanding that Arrive may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Members, we do not make any representations or warranties of any kind concerning such matters.

12.2  Any references on Our Platform 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 Arrive 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 with whom you communicate or interact via Our Platform.  We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to book a Performer or to accept a Booking Request from a Client, or to have any interaction with others.  We are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from interactions between users, Members or third-parties however it may be caused.

12.3  By using Our Platform, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other users, Members or third-parties will be limited to a claim against the particular users, Members or third-parties who caused you harm.  You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Arrive with respect to such actions or omissions.

13. Fee Avoidance

The price stated in each confirmed Booking must be an accurate representation of the sale.  Members may not at any time alter prices to avoid Arrive service fees.  Similarly, you may not at any time misrepresent the Event’s location, or use another user’s account without permission.  Performers may not encourage Clients to purchase services listed on Arrive outside of The Platform (such as directly through their own website), nor falsely state or adjust expenses on the Booking in order to lower or avoid Arrive’s service fee.

14. Your Member Content

14.1  You warrant and represent that your Member Content will comply with these terms and conditions.  Said content must not be illegal or unlawful, must not infringe the legal rights of any person or other legal entity, and must not be the subject of legal action in any jurisdiction.  Your Member Content, and our use of it in accordance with this or any superceding Agreement, must not: (i) be libelous or maliciously false; (ii) be obscene or indecent; (iii) infringe any copyright, moral right, database right, trademark right, design right, right in passing off, or other intellectual property right; (iv) infringe any right of confidence, privacy or data protection; (v) constitute negligent advice or contain any negligent statement; (vi) constitute an incitement to commit a crime, instructions for the commission of a crime or the promotion of criminal activity; (vii) be in contempt of any court, or in breach of any court order; (viii) be in breach of applicable racial or religious hatred or non-discrimination legislation; (ix) be in breach of official secrets legislation; (x) be in breach of any contractual obligation owed to any person or other legal entity; (xi) depict violence in an explicit, graphic or gratuitous manner; (xii) be pornographic or sexually explicit; (xiii) be untrue, false, inaccurate or misleading; (xiv) consist of or contain any instructions, advice or other information which may be acted upon and could, if acted upon, cause illness, injury or death, or any other loss or damage; (xv) constitute spam; or, (xvi) be offensive, deceptive, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, harassing, anti-social, menacing, hateful, discriminatory or inflammatory.  You agree that Arrive may legitimately deem this section violated based upon its reasonable and honestly held, though subjective judgment.
