6.     Live Link as a Marketplace Technology Platform

The Services include a marketplace technology platform that connects Talent with Venues. We do not provide any performance space and make no representations or warranties about the quality of the venues, equipment, or services provided by Venues, or about your interactions and dealings with Venues or other users. Live Link does not employ, recommend, or endorse Talent or Venues, and we are not responsible or liable for the performance or conduct of Talent or Venues, whether online or offline. Live Link does not procure insurance for Talent or Venues, nor is Live Link responsible for the property of Talent or Venues.

Live Link itself does not conduct background checks and is not responsible or liable in any manner for background checks.

7.     Payment Terms for Venues

7.1 General Payment Terms

As a Venue, you understand that use of the Services may result in you owing fees to Talent for the performance you receive from such Talent.  Live Link will facilitate your payment of the applicable charges on behalf of Talent through third-party payment processors, with whom you will be required to establish an account to access the Services.  Payment of such charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Talent.  Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law.  Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Services, Live Link’s decision to terminate your usage, any disruption of the Services, or any other reason whatsoever, unless otherwise determined by Live Link.

All charges are due immediately or as otherwise provided in the platform and Live Link, or a third-party payment processor, will process your payment on the Talent’s behalf using the primary payment method designated by you in your Live Link account.  If your primary payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Live Link may, as the Talent’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your account, if available.

Venues and Talent transact with each other on the Live Link marketplace technology platform when they both agree to a “booking” that specifies the fees, time period, cancellation policy, and other terms for provision of performances via the booking mechanism provided on the Live Link marketplace technology platform.  You may choose to transact with certain Talent from time to time based on a variety of factors in your discretion, such as your desired price range, Talent’s performance price rate, Talent’s profile, and Talent’s ratings and reviews.  Once you request a performance, you agree to pay the Talent the agreed-to price and honor the other terms of such booking.  You may elect to cancel your request for services from Talent up to twenty-four (24) hours to such Talent’s arrival, in which case you may be subject to a cancellation fee.

After you have received services or goods obtained through the Services, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about the Talent.

In addition to the above fees, you understand and acknowledge that you may incur ancillary charges in connection with your receipt of performance services from Talent (“Charges”). Such Charges may include a cancellation fee. A description of any Charges will be available on the Services. 

You acknowledge and agree that Live Link may limit or temporarily or permanently suspend your use of or access to the Services if: (1) you have provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated, or incomplete information regarding a payment method, (2) any amounts you owe for performances are overdue or in default, or (3) Live Link believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety or property of Live Link, any of our users, any third-party payment processor or third parties, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activity.

7.2  Automatic Subscription Renewal and Cancellation

UPON LIVE LINK MOVING TO A PAID PLATFORM, LIVE LINK PAID MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL CANCELLED BY YOU. AFTER YOUR INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION COMMITMENT PERIOD, AND AGAIN AFTER ANY SUBSEQUENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD EQUIVALENT TO THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM YOU ORIGINALLY SELECTED AND AT THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE AND FREQUENCY DISCLOSED TO YOU WHEN YOU ORIGINALLY SUBSCRIBED, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED AT THE TIME YOU SUBSCRIBED.

You may cancel your paid membership subscription at any time by following the instructions on your account settings page or by Live Link at support@livelinkentertainment.com.  Your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires, but your payment method will be charged, and you will be required to pay any cancellation or other fees associated with your early termination and disclosed to you at the time you signed up for the subscription plan.

7.3 Payment Authorization

Upon addition of a new payment method or each performance services request, Live Link may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the performance service charges will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior.  The authorization is not a charge; however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle.  Should the amount of the authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your credit, debit, or prepaid card.  Live Link cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

Live Link reserves the right to request additional information from you if we have reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that a payment method may be fraudulent.

8.     Acceptable Use of the Services

You are responsible for your use of the Services, and for any use of the Services made using your account.  Our goal is to create a positive, useful, and safe user experience.  To promote this goal, we prohibit certain kinds of conduct that may be harmful to other users, third parties, or to us.  When you use the Services (and as a result perform, as Talent, or host, as Venue), you may not:

The Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send, receive and/or process data, information, and content (“User Content”).  You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that User Content.  In other words, you own your personal data.

When you upload, submit, store, send, receive and/or process User Content to or through the Services, you give us permission to reproduce and use your User Content as follows: you grant to us and those we work with a license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (including, but not limited to, translations, adaptations, or other changes we make so that User Content works better with the Services), publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute your User Content in order to operate, promote, market, and improve our Services. Our license to your User Content is non-exclusive, meaning you may use the User Content for your own purposes or let others use your User Content for their purposes.  This license is irrevocable, sublicensable, fully-paid, and royalty free, meaning we do not owe you anything else in connection with our use of your User Content.  We may exercise our rights under this license anywhere in the world.  Lastly, this license is perpetual, meaning that our rights under this license continue even after you stop using the Services.  In general, however, we will only need to use your User Content for as long as you choose to store it with us using the Services.

You promise that:

  • you own all rights to your User Content or, alternatively, that you have the right to give us the rights described above (including having the necessary consents and releases from any individuals who appear or whose pets appear in your User Content); and

  • your User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other legal rights of any third party.

We may refuse to accept or transmit User Content for any reason.  We reserve the right to use, share, and display your User Content, including Venues’ reviews of Talent or Talents’ reviews of Venues, in any manner in connection with our business without attribution to you or your approval.  You acknowledge and agree that we are distributors (without any obligation to verify) and not publishers of your User Content or reviews, and we reserve the right to monitor, screen, edit, or remove your User Content or reviews in the event that such content include obscenities or other objectionable content, include an individual’s name or other personal information, or violate any privacy laws, other applicable laws, or Company’s content policies.  Our failure to enforce our rights under these Terms in one instance does not create a waiver of our right to enforce them in another instance.  We are not obligated to provide you with copies of your User Content, nor will we have any liability to you for any deletion, disclosure, loss, or modification to your User Content.

If you include your name, image, likeness or voice in any of your User Content, you grant us permission to use your name, image, voice, and likeness, and hereby release us from any liability arising from such use, including, without limitation, claims for invasion of privacy, infringement of your right of publicity, and defamation (including libel and slander).

Live Link offers an in-app chat feature to better connect Talent with Venues. Data, information, and content sent through the chat feature is User Content that is subject to these Terms.  We are able to access this User Content and reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, screen, edit, or remove your User Content.  Users should be mindful when communicating information to third parties, and we recommend that you refrain from disclosing or sending sensitive information through the chat feature, such as personal financial information, log-in account information, passwords, and/or personal contact information (including phone numbers).

The Services may provide the ability to leave public and/or private reviews of users or their performances.  You acknowledge that even private reviews may be shared with third parties in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy and that Live Link has no obligation to preserve or indefinitely store any reviews. If you are Talent, we have no obligation to provide you with the content of any reviews about you submitted by other users of the Services, whether before or after termination of your account for the Services.  We will have no liability to you for any deletion, disclosure, loss, or modification of these reviews.  We reserve the right to screen, edit, or remove these reviews from the Services at any time.

10.  Consent to Talent Photo and Video Activities

As a Venue, you understand and agree that Talent may take pictures or videos or otherwise create recorded media of you during the course of providing services to you.  You also understand and agree that during the course of a service you may participate in recorded media. You further understand and agree that Talent may post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide any such pictures, videos, or other forms of recorded media to Live Link through the Services or to their own social media, the Internet, or otherwise.  You understand and agree that such recorded media may be used not only to provide information to you as part of the Services, but also to assist Live Link in quality control, safety, and promotional and marketing activities.  You agree that you have no right, title, or other ownership interest to or in such pictures, videos, or other forms of recorded media, and that the use of such media, including the posting or display of such media, is within Live Link’s and Talent’s sole discretion.  Live Link hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to copy and use pictures, videos, and other forms of recorded media of you that are made available by Live Link through the Live Link Services, solely for non-commercial purposes (e.g., posting a photo on your social media accounts).

11.  Venue Obligations and Talent Obligations

Venue

As a Venue, you hereby represent, covenant, and warrant to Live Link and each such Talent who provides you with a performance that: (1) you will provide a safe, adequate and as promoted and advertised working space for the Talent to perform; (2) you will provide adequate and safe electric power supply, if necessary; and (3) you will comply with all laws and ordinances applicable to your activities conducted through the Services, including ensuring your performance space is licensed as required by local law.  If you elect to use the Services, you agree to provide accurate information about yourself and keep this information up-to-date, including any material information.

You acknowledge and agree that if you allow another person to access your account or if you request a performance service for a venue that is not your own, in each case in violation of these Terms, you and such other venue will be jointly and severally liable for all acts and omissions in connection with engaging the Services, including all costs incurred or associated with such engagement.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that, as between you and Live Link, you shall be liable for any and all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs) of any kind or nature, arising from or relating to, your business, including without limitation, claims by third parties (including Talent, when applicable) for damage, loss, or injuries resulting from your location, employees, patrons and guests.  Incidents, injury, damage, or loss may be governed by applicable state liability laws.  Live Link will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement authorities to provide requested information regarding the situation.  If you elect to use Talent through the Services, you shall carry applicable liability insurance sufficient for the performance services you request, the risks associated with such services, and as mandated by law.  Be sure to review your applicable policy(ies) and address any questions regarding appropriate liability coverage with your insurance carrier and/or legal representatives prior to utilizing Talent through the Services.

You understand and agree that any Talent is an independent contractor, and not a partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, worker, or employee of Live Link.  Neither Venue nor Talent has the ability or authority to represent the other or otherwise make statements or commitments on the other’s behalf.

You acknowledge that Live Link is in the business of connecting Talent and Venues, and that said business is how Live Link earns its income.  As a result, you agree that if Venue or Talent solicits the other to provide or seek off-platform performance services at Venue whom Venue or Talent first met and/or learned about through the Live Link platform, Live Link is entitled to charge both the Talent and the Venue a referral fee for a period of one year after the subscription term.  This referral fee will be charged for each Talent/Venue engagement outside of the process provided for within the Live Link platform. Live Link’s referral fee will be 8% of whatever price is set between Venue and Talent.  Venue will be responsible to pay the referral fee.  Without limiting Live Link’s rights, Venue authorizes Live Link to charge any of Venue’s payment methods for the referral fee.

Talent

As Talent, you hereby represent, covenant, and warrant to Live Link and each such Venue who provides you with a booking that: (1) you will deliver your services in a professional, timely, and reliable manner; (2) you will arrive at the Venue at the agreed-upon time, prepared with all necessary equipment, unless otherwise specified by the Venue; and (3) you will perform for the full duration agreed upon in the booking and adhere to any specific requirements or guidelines provided in advance by the Venue, including, but not limited to, sound levels, set times, and conduct expectations. 

You hereby further represent, covenant, and warrant to Live Link and each such Venue who provides you with a booking that you will maintain a respectful and cooperative attitude toward the Venue’s staff, patrons, guests, and any other performers. By using the Platform, Talent acknowledges that their own reputation and future opportunities may be affected by their reliability and professionalism in fulfilling their obligations to Venue.
