4. NATURE OF THE PLATFORM; ROLE OF THE COMPANY

The Platform is a discovery directory. The Company hosts profiles created by various artists / talents and makes such profiles searchable so that other Users can find and directly contact the respective artists. That is the entirety of the Company’s role.

THE COMPANY IS NOT A BOOKING AGENT, TALENT AGENCY, EVENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, EMPLOYER OR MANAGER OF ANY ARTIST, AND IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY ENGAGEMENT, BOOKING, NEGOTIATION, CONTRACT, PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE BETWEEN AN ARTIST AND AN EVENT MANAGER OR ANY OTHER USER. The Company does not verify, endorse, represent, guarantee, background-check, or take responsibility for any artist, talent, event manager, listing, or communication made available on or through the Platform.

Where an event manager contacts an artist / talent (including over WhatsApp or any other channel), any resulting conversation, quotation, negotiation, agreement, booking, payment, cancellation, performance and outcome is strictly between those Users and the Company has no involvement in, and accepts no responsibility or liability for, the terms of any such engagement, the conduct of either party, the quality, timeliness or delivery of any performance, any payment or non-payment, any dispute, or any loss, injury or damage arising from any such engagement.

The Platform is presently free of charge and the Company does not charge any commission, fee or cut on any booking or engagement facilitated through the Platform, as further described under ‘Fees’ below.

By using and accessing the Platform, you hereby agree and acknowledge that:

• The Company only hosts profiles. It does not create, arrange, guarantee, supervise or participate in any booking or engagement.
• The Company is not a party to any deal, contract or communication between an artist / talent and an event manager or between any other Users.
• The Company takes no commission and is not paid out of, and has no financial interest in, any booking.

5. YOUR ACCOUNT WITH US

When you create this account, you must provide accurate and up-to-date information about yourself, including without limitation your name (including any stage/act name), city and cities of operation, act category, price range, contact number and email address. It is important that you maintain and promptly update your details and any other information you provide to us, to keep such information current and complete. The present Terms are also accessible to you on the Platform at all times.

When you sign in, we send a one-time password (“OTP”) to your registered email address (or such other verification method as we may adopt). You are responsible for keeping access to your registered email account secure, and for any activity that occurs through your account, whether or not authorised by you. We shall not be liable under any circumstance for your account being accessed by any third party as a result of your failure to secure your registered email account or other verification method.

You agree and undertake that you are responsible for any activity that occurs through your account. By allowing others to access your account, you agree that such individuals are acting on your behalf and that you are bound by any actions / inactions made by such person. We can terminate your account or place your account on hold in order to protect you, the Company or our Users from identity theft or other fraudulent activity. If you know or suspect that any third party has accessed your account without your consent, you must notify us immediately at hello@stagefront.in.

Once you have created and/or accessed your account or used the Services, it shall constitute an acceptance of the present Terms and any other allied policies including our Privacy Policy.

We further reserve the right to, at any time and at our own discretion, remove, rename, reassign, cancel or ask to change any user account name, tag, related imagery, or links whenever deemed appropriate by us. This may be done by us with or without notice and with no obligation to give a reason for such actions.

It is pertinent to note that once you choose to delete your account, you will not be able to reactivate your account, and your published profile will no longer be visible to the Users.

Please note that certain Services or features may not be available to a User who has not created an account on the Platform. Notwithstanding anything, these Terms will still apply to any User accessing the Platform without an account.

Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby agree, undertake and acknowledge that by creating an account on the Platform, the Company makes no representation or guarantee that a User’s profile will generate any enquiry, booking, or business outcome. Having a profile on the Platform is not a substitute for the User’s own marketing, and the Company shall not be liable for any loss of business, opportunity, or income arising from low visibility, absence of enquiries, or another User’s decision not to engage a particular Artist.

6. FEES

Stagefront is a free, listing-only directory. Artists create profiles at no cost, and event managers browse and contact artists at no cost. The Platform is currently free of charge for its Users.

The Company does not process any payment between an artist / talent and an event manager, and does not take any commission, fee or cut on any booking or engagement. Stagefront is only an intermediary that hosts listings and helps event managers discover artists. When an event manager and an artist decide to work together, they deal with each other directly and all negotiation, booking, fees, advances, deposits, cancellation terms, and payments for an actual performance or engagement are entirely between the artist and the event manager, without any recourse or liability of the Company.

The Company may, in the future, introduce optional paid plans or features (for example, for artist / talents seeking additional visibility). Any such plan will be offered under separate, additional terms presented to you at that time, and no charge will apply to your existing free account or listing unless you expressly opt in to a paid plan. Statements made in the Company’s marketing or promotional material with regards to the pricing / fees describes the Company’s current pricing policy and is not a contractual guarantee against future changes.

As of the effective date of this policy, the Company does not collect any payment from users and does not run any payment gateway. As a result, there is nothing to refund and no paid subscription to cancel. If someone claims you owe the Company money to use the current service, the same could be a fraudulent claim and you should immediately report it to us at hello@stagefront.in. You hereby agree and acknowledge that at no point in time would the Company be liable to refund any monies to you and/or be liable for any payment made by you to any third-party.
