Payment for Services
Before accepting payment for services to be rendered, we require that we have a signed contract.
Once
the contract is signed we can then accept payment for your event.
- If you choose to pay in installments, remember that our packages must be paid in full by 14 days prior to the event
date. Refer to your contract for that date. For installments, we recommend after making the initial deposit, you plan on paying at least half of the remaining balance no later then 4 weeks before the event, and then the remaining balance on the due date, 14 days prior to the event date.
- For business customers, we prefer to be paid before the event, but if that is not possible, we expect to be paid in full at the close of your event. If this needs to be done, we will need to write the contract to reflect this.
- For all payments, we can accept cash, check, or electronic payments through PayPal. If you are paying electronically or by Credit Card through PayPal, please read below for more specific details.
- For all methods, if there are ever any questions, or problems meeting a deadline, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible, so that we can work with you to make other arrangements.
Electronic or CC Payments through PayPal
- I can accept credit cards and
electronic payments through PayPal. You may use the button above
or the "Make Payment" button located inside of your online event planner to make a
payment. You are not required to have a PayPal account to make a
payment through their system.
- If you already have a paypal account and would like to do so, you may also send a payment to our payment email: payments@majorsoundsmusic.com
If you choose that method, we ask that you include a message as to what event to apply the payment to.
- I prefer to not take credit card information over the phone. I will be more then happy to walk you through the simple process. But for liability reason, I prefer to have you enter your own credit card information. If that is not possible, I will make exceptions.
Other Items:
Overtime
Overtime
- All events have a set start and
end time. We can be flexible with the starting time, if something else interferes. If the event goes longer then the set end time, then
overtime will be charged. Please refer to your contract for the current rate. Overtime will be
charged at the rate defined in the contract in 1/2 hour increments. We
ask that any overtime is paid at the close of the event in cash. You may wat to check with the venue to see if overtime is allowed.
Travel
- For events within a 60 mile (1 hour) radius of Dunlap, IL our travel is free.
- Travel outside of a 60 mile
radius will be billed at a rate of $0.65 per mile. We will make every effort to determine travel cost before hand and
include this in our estimate and in the contracted price.
- For travel outside of a 100 mile range, we may also require overnight
accommodations depending on the location and the time of the event. We will make every effort to determine costs and
include these fees in our estimate and contracted price.
If travel by car is not feasible, other arrangements will need to be made, and we will need to discuss this in person.
Refferal Program and Discounts:
Refferal Program:
Existing clients - If you you refer someone to us, and they
book an event with us, we will discount your event by 10%. If you would like, we can apply this to a future event.
Potential Customers - If you have been referred to us by another client, or one of the vendors we work with, we will be happy to discount your event 10%, so please be sure to let us know.
Individual Discounts:
We offer discounts to military
personnel, police, and firemen, active or retired. We also offer
discounts to current members of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and the
YWCA.
Organizations: We offer significant
discounts to churches, schools, non-profit, or other charitable
organizations. Please call us for details on these discounts.
Money Back Guarantee
Something that we offer that sets us apart from our competitors.
First, we have confidence in our
abilities as entertainers and we will do everything in our power to
make your event a great one. While we understand that everyone's taste
in music is different, we feel that given the right mix and atmosphere,
everyone can enjoy themselves. However, if your event is a total
disaster, AND
it was because we didn't do something as your DJ's, then we will pay
you your money
back up to the cost of the contract. Depending on if travel was
outside of our 60 mile range, this refund maybe minus travel costs.
If
deemed necessary, we may ask for someone elses opinion as to how the
event went. This would need to be an impartial person, such as a trustworthy individual who is not gaining anything
either way.
Rescheduling
If you need to reschedule your event and
we are
available on the new date, then there will be no charge to change
dates. Your rescheduled event will be valid under the original
contract. If possible, please provide us with multiple choices for
rescheduling. We ask that you let us know as soon as possible of the
date change, so that we may plan accordingly. If we are not available
on the new date, then we will arrange for a refund. Please see below.
Event Cancellation
If the event will not be rescheduled, or it is in fact CANCELED, then we will handle refunds in the manner listed below.
If a security deposit, retainer, and/or fees have been paid, cancellations will be handled as follows:
- Cancellations up until Fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the event, there will be a full refund of any monies paid.
- From fourteen (14) up to eight (8) calendar days, any monies paid will only be refunded 50%.
- Seven (7) days or less before the start of the event, there will be no refund of any monies paid.
If a security deposit or fees have NOT been paid, cancellations will be handled as follows:
- Up to seven (7) days in advance of the event there will be no money owed.
- Less then seven (7) days before the event, there will be a "breaking of contract" fee equivalent to our deposit charge, (currently $140) which will cover part of our preparation time that we have put into your event.
