If for any reason, Ritzy Entertainment is unable to honour your Event at the agreed time, Ritzy Entertainment will use reasonable endeavours (at its own discretion) to ensure the relevant Services are honoured by a comparable service at the agreed time/date or will otherwise refund any amounts paid by you.

Your promise to us:

You agree to be responsible for monitoring the behaviour of patrons and guests at your event.

You agree to provide the performer with a minimum area approximately 2 metres wide by 2 metres deep with power close by to set up equipment, and to provide suitable access to this area.

You agree that you will be at all times responsible for obtaining any necessary consents associated with the Event’s host venue for Ritzy Entertainment’s Services and Ritzy Entertainment will not be liable for any loss whatsoever resulting from a failure to perform the Services on the basis of the Event’s host venue refusal to allow the Services to occur.
