Terms of Use

1. Agreement

By using musictovenue.com (the “Site”) or submitting an early access request, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. What Music to Venue is

Music to Venue is an online marketplace that helps musicians, bands, DJs and other performers (“Artists”) connect with bars, restaurants, clubs, wineries, breweries, hotels, event spaces, festivals and private hosts (“Venues”). We provide tools to discover each other and communicate. We are not a talent agency, booking agent, manager, employer or party to any agreement between an Artist and a Venue. Artists are independent businesses, and any performance agreement is solely between the Artist and the Venue. We charge Venues a service fee for introductions and booking coordination, as described in Section 9 and on our Pricing page.

3. Early access

The Site is currently in early access. Features described on the Site, including profiles, the open dates board, Smart Match, messaging, offers, agreements and calendars, may be in development, released gradually or changed. Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance, a profile, a match or a booking. Creating a profile and requesting talent are free. Booking fees apply only as described in Section 9.

4. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you submit on behalf of a band, company or venue, you confirm you are authorized to do so. You agree to give accurate information and keep it up to date.

5. Your responsibilities

• Artists are responsible for their performances, equipment, set lists, licensing of any recordings or performance rights they control, taxes, and showing up as agreed.
• Venues are responsible for providing accurate details about the date, pay, sound, load in, age restrictions and any permits, licenses (including music performance licenses with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR where required) and insurance, and for paying Artists as agreed.
• Both sides are responsible for complying with applicable laws, including alcohol, age, noise, tax and labor laws.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to post false, misleading, infringing, hateful or illegal content; impersonate anyone; harass other users; scrape or copy the Site; send spam; interfere with the Site’s security or operation; or use the Site to arrange bookings for the purpose of avoiding booking fees owed under Section 9.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, music, videos, text and other content you submit (“Your Content”). You give Music to Venue a non exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to host, display, reproduce and promote Your Content in connection with operating and marketing the Site and your profile. You confirm you have the rights to Your Content and that it does not infringe anyone’s rights.

8. Smart Match and recommendations

Smart Match and other recommendations are generated automatically, in part using artificial intelligence, from information provided by users. They are suggestions only. We do not guarantee the quality, availability, suitability or conduct of any Artist or Venue. Please do your own review before booking.

9. Fees and payments

Current prices are listed on our Pricing page, which is part of these Terms.

• Artists. Creating a profile, receiving requests and getting booked are free. Music to Venue does not take a commission from an Artist’s performance fee.
• Booking fee. When a Venue confirms an Artist introduced through the Site, the Venue owes Music to Venue a service fee based on the agreed performance fee: 10% for venue bookings (minimum $50), 12% for seasons, concert series, fairs and festivals, and 15% for private and corporate events, unless a different fee or a flat season fee is agreed in writing. The fee is shown on the quote before you confirm.
• When it is charged. We invoice the booking fee when the booking is confirmed. Invoices are due within 7 days, or before the performance date if that is sooner. Payments are processed by Stripe.
• Paying the Artist. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the Venue pays the Artist directly under their performance agreement. If we later offer payment through the Site, the terms shown at checkout apply.
• Cancellations and refunds. If the Artist cancels, or the performance cannot take place for reasons outside the Venue’s control, we refund the booking fee or apply it to a replacement act. If the Venue cancels at least 14 days before the performance, the booking fee is refunded. Inside 14 days it is non refundable.
• Bookings outside the Site. If a Venue books an Artist it was introduced to through Music to Venue directly, without the Site, within 12 months of the introduction, the booking fee applies to each of those bookings.
• Subscriptions. Optional plans, such as Venue Pro or featured artist listings, are billed in advance each month or year, renew until canceled, and can be canceled at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period.
• Promotions. We may waive or reduce fees for a set period, such as our founding venue offer. A waiver ends on the date stated in the offer.
• Taxes. Fees do not include taxes. Each party is responsible for its own taxes, including taxes on performance fees.
• Price changes. We will post new prices on the Pricing page at least 30 days before they apply. A confirmed booking keeps the fee shown when it was confirmed.
