1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

‍

The following Terms of Service, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "user" or "your") and GigFinesse, Inc., ("GigFinesse", "Company", "we", "our" or "us") regarding your access to and use of our services, including GigFinesse.com and any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which we make our services available ("Website", "Websites"), and all associated features, functionalities, user interfaces, as well as all content and software applications associated with our services (collectively, "Services" or "Service"), whether as a guest or a registered user.

‍

GigFinesse offers an online platform that enables users to book live-music performances and to receive metrics and information regarding such performances, among other things. Users who seek to book venues to perform as musicians, bands and other artists are "Artists"; users who are looking to hire and compensate Artists for such performances are "Venues". GigFinesse may from time to time maintain policies that supplement these Terms and that apply only to Artists or to Venues. Artists and Venues are responsible for understanding and complying with all such terms and conditions that apply to them, respectively.

‍

5. PAYMENT FOR ARTISTS

‍

Artists will be paid for any shows performed through GigFinesse ("Artist Payment") via any third-party service provider that processes payment transactions and that we may determine in our sole discretion from time to time (a "Payment Processor"). While Artists may perform without having connected a Payment Processor account, Artists must create a Payment Processor account to receive payment. Any and all settlements between Artist and GigFinesse will be paid out via the Payment Processor.

‍

Payment via Stripe

1. Create a Stripe account by going to Artist GigFinesse settings page and clicking "Continue Stripe setup" under the "Payout" heading;
2. Link Artist bank account to Stripe;
3. Fill out Artist tax information via Stripe.
   

Stripe will automatically send Artist an IRS Form 1099 at the beginning of each calendar year if Artist's earnings with GigFinesse in the previous year passed the requisite threshold. Each single GigFinesse Account only supports one single Stripe account.

‍

6. VENUES

‍

Venues will sign up and pay for Services on the Company's Website in accordance with the terms of this Section. GigFinesse will not be responsible for providing any Services to you as a Venue or for making any Artist Payment to a given Artist, prior to you choosing a Membership (as defined below) and paying the applicable Membership fees in accordance with the terms set forth below.

‍

Membership

‍

You will be prompted to choose a Membership upon the creation of your account. A "Membership" means a Venue's paid subscription to the GigFinesse Services and Website that renews at certain, preset intervals. A Membership is currently offered for a term of one (1) year, six (6) months or one (1) month (collectively, the "Membership Terms") and each shall automatically renew each year, every six months or each month, respectively, until you choose to cancel your Account and/or your Membership in accordance with these Terms.

‍

Service Fees

‍

Upon beginning your Membership, you will be required to enter your billing information. The fees associated with the Membership and each of the Membership Terms can be found on the Website. Please refer to the pricing listed at the time you begin your Membership for your applicable Membership fees. Any Venue that opts for a Membership with a term of one (1) month (the "Monthly Membership") will be charged additional service fees and onboarding fees than those Venues opting for the longer-term Memberships. The price of any Membership and any additional fees for that Membership, including, but not limited to, those additional fees applicable to the Monthly Membership, may be set or changed by GigFinesse at any time. Any price change or additional fee added to a Membership will become effective on the first day of the next Membership Term.

‍

We will charge you for your selected Membership using the services of our Payment Processor. By using the Website and the Services, and enrolling in a Membership, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for the Services, at the rate applicable to your Membership Term, in accordance with any applicable payment terms. The processing of payments is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of our Payment Processor. By enrolling to use the Services and providing your billing information, you agree to pay the recurring Membership fees, which shall renew automatically at the start of each Membership Term, and accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to any cancellation. GigFinesse also reserves the right to require that your Membership fees be paid prior to the start of your Membership Term if the total amount of those Membership fees is above a certain threshold amount that the Company will determine, and make known, from time to time.

‍

A Venue may choose to pay GigFinesse the Membership fees and any other fees associated with the Account by mailing a check (the "Membership Fee Check") to the Company's address provided herein. GigFinesse must receive any Membership Fee Check on or within a reasonable amount of time after the start of the Membership Term. We reserve the right to charge you additional fees, up to 25% of the total Membership fee, for Membership Fee Checks that arrive unreasonably or consistently later than the start of the Membership Term(s).

‍

Cancellation of Shows

Unless otherwise stated in your contract with GigFinesse, Venues may cancel shows booked through GigFinesse one (1) month in advance without penalty. All Venues will be held fully responsible for 100% of the previously agreed-upon Artist Payment for shows cancelled less than one (1) month in advance. Any and all cancellation-fees will be charged to the Venue immediately upon cancellation.

‍

Cancellation of Membership

You may cancel your Membership on any date during the Membership Term, so long as that date is at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of the next Membership Term, by logging into your Account on the Website or contacting us at the address below. Should you cancel your Membership before the end of the applicable Membership Term, you will have access to your Membership features and Services until the end of that Membership Term.

‍

Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and GigFinesse will take place under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in force (the "AAA Rules"). You and GigFinesse agree that the FAA applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. GigFinesse can also help put you in touch with the AAA.

‍

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

‍

Confidentiality

‍

All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator's decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

‍

Class Action

‍

YOU AND GIGFINESSE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and GigFinesse agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

‍

Injunctive Relief

‍

The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

‍

Conflict

‍

If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the code of procedure established by the AAA, the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
