Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to any use of party.dj and feest.dj (together: the Platform). By creating an account or using the Platform you agree to these terms.

1. Who we are

The Platform is operated by a sole proprietorship established in the Netherlands, registered in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce trade register under number 72373458, VAT identification number NL001170748B63, trading under the names feest.dj and party.dj. Contact: legal@party.dj.

2. Definitions

• Platform: the websites feest.dj and party.dj and their related services.
• DJ: a user presenting themselves as an artist on the Platform.
• Organisation: a booking agency or collective managing one or more DJs on the Platform.
• Client: a visitor searching for a DJ, sending a request or booking through the Platform.
• Subscription: a paid or free plan under which a DJ or Organisation uses the Platform.

3. Role of the Platform

The Platform connects Clients and DJs. We are not a party to the agreement concluded between Client and DJ and do not act as an agent, booking office or representative of either party.

• The booking agreement is concluded exclusively between the Client and the DJ (or their Organisation).
• Payment for performances runs directly between Client and DJ. The Platform charges no commission and does not process those payments.
• Prices, availability, cancellation arrangements and the performance itself are the responsibility of the DJ and the Client.
• We do not guarantee that a request leads to a booking, that a DJ is available, or that a performance meets expectations.

Cancelling a booking

• Cancelling a confirmed booking is arranged between the Client and the DJ. The Platform is not a party to this and charges no cancellation fees of its own.
• You agree on cancellation terms, any compensation and no-shows with the other party in advance. Record them through the Platform so both sides share the same arrangements.
• We may mark a booking as “cancelled” in the Platform on request or for compelling reasons; this does not change the arrangements you made between yourselves.

4. Accounts

• You are at least 18 years old and provide accurate, up-to-date information.
• You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity on your account.
• Sharing accounts or creating accounts under a false identity is not permitted.

5. For DJs and Organisations

Profiles and verification

• You are responsible for the accuracy of your profile, including prices and availability.
• Prices shown to consumers must include VAT.
• The label “verified” means we editorially reviewed the profile before publication. It is not a quality mark and no guarantee of quality, identity or performance.
• You hold all permits, insurance and registrations required for your work and handle your own tax filings. Where the law obliges us to report data on activities facilitated through the Platform to the tax authorities, you cooperate by supplying correct information.

Subscriptions and payment

• Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and collected through our payment provider Mollie.
• You can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current month. Amounts already paid are not refunded; after cancellation your account reverts to the free Starter plan and its limits.
• Trial periods are free and non-committal; after a trial, a paid Subscription only continues if you explicitly choose so.
• If you are a consumer, you have a statutory 14-day withdrawal right when taking out a paid Subscription. Withdrawing is form-free, for example by emailing legal@party.dj; we then refund the full amount paid.
• Price changes are announced at least 30 days in advance; you can cancel free of charge until they take effect.

6. For Clients

• No account is needed to use the Platform as a Client. By submitting an availability check, request, booking confirmation or review you agree to these terms.
• An availability check or request is non-binding until you and the DJ mutually confirm the booking.
• You agree on price, times, cancellation and delivery directly with the DJ; record them through the Platform so both sides share the same information.
• The Platform is free for Clients.

7. Ranking and visibility of profiles

The order in which DJs are shown is mainly determined by: the match with the filters chosen by the Client (such as region, genre and event type), the completeness and quality of the profile, and received reviews. Paid plans do not buy a higher position in search results; profiles we feature editorially are marked as such.

8. Content and licence

• Content you upload (photos, texts, videos, music links) remains yours. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to display it on the Platform and in our communication about the Platform.
• You warrant that your content does not infringe third-party rights (including copyright and portrait rights) and indemnify us against related third-party claims.
• We may refuse or remove content that violates these terms or the law.

Photos in messages and tickets

• Photos you share in a conversation with a DJ or Client, or in a support ticket, are stored separately and privately (in restricted storage, accessible only through a temporary, signed link) and are used only for that conversation. They do not appear in public profiles or in the media library.
• These photos are automatically deleted once the conversation closes: for a chat after the event date (or after the aftercare period for a booked DJ), for a ticket once it has been resolved. If you want to keep a shared photo, download it in time; once deleted we cannot recover it.
• Only images can be shared; videos cannot be uploaded.

9. Reviews

• Reviews can only be submitted through a personal review link issued after a request or booking. This ensures reviews come from Clients with a genuine experience.
• Reviews reflect the Client's opinion, not the Platform's.
• We remove reviews that are fake, misleading, defamatory or otherwise unlawful. Buying, trading or rewarding reviews is prohibited.

10. Reporting unlawful content

If you believe content on the Platform is unlawful (for example an infringement of your rights, misleading information or inappropriate material), report it to legal@party.dj with a description and its location. We assess reports carefully and in good time, inform you of our decision, and give the affected user a reasoned explanation when content is removed or restricted. That decision can be appealed through the same address.

11. Prohibited use

You may not use the Platform for:

• false, misleading or fraudulent content or requests;
• harassing, threatening or discriminating against other users;
• spam, unsolicited advertising or automated outreach to users;
• scraping, copying or reusing (parts of) the Platform without written permission;
• disrupting or circumventing the security or technical operation of the Platform.

12. Suspension and termination

• You can close your account at any time.
• We may suspend or terminate an account for violations of these terms or the law. Business users (DJs and Organisations) receive a statement of reasons and, in case of termination, in principle 30 days' notice.
• That notice period does not apply where immediate action is required, for example in cases of fraud, unlawful content, repeated infringements or a legal obligation.
• You can object to suspension or termination through the complaints procedure in section 16.

13. Availability and changes to the Platform

We work hard to keep the Platform running well but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. We may change, add or discontinue features and perform maintenance. When discontinuing essential features for paying users, we give reasonable advance notice.

14. Intellectual property

All rights to the Platform itself (including software, design, trademarks and editorial content) rest with the business named in section 1. Nothing in these terms transfers those rights.

15. Liability and indemnification

• The Platform facilitates contact; we are not liable for the acts or omissions of DJs, Organisations or Clients, for the quality of performances, for cancellations, or for disputes and payments between users.
• We are not liable for indirect damage, including consequential damage, lost profit, missed bookings or loss of data.
• Insofar as we should nevertheless be liable, this concerns compensation for direct damage only and our liability is at all times limited to a maximum: the total of the subscription fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event causing the damage, or € 250 where you use the Platform free of charge. This is an upper limit and not a commitment to pay; it is up to you to demonstrate the existence, extent and cause of the damage.
• These limitations do not apply in case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part and leave mandatory consumer law unaffected.
• Any claim for damages lapses if you have not notified us in writing within twelve months after you discovered or could reasonably have discovered the damage.
• You indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your use of the Platform or your content.

16. Complaints

If something bothers you, email legal@party.dj. We confirm receipt and respond substantively within 14 days; the vast majority of questions get resolved together this way. If that genuinely does not work out, section 18 describes how a dispute can be brought formally.

17. Force majeure

We are not required to perform where performance is impossible due to circumstances beyond our control, including outages at hosting or payment providers, internet failures and government measures.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

Hopefully this section is never needed, but for clarity: these terms are governed by Dutch law. If a dispute really cannot be resolved between us, it is submitted to the competent court in the district where the business is established. If you are a consumer, you may within one month of us invoking this clause opt for the court that is competent by law.

19. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms. Registered users are informed by email at least 15 days before changes take effect, unless a change must apply sooner due to a legal obligation or for security reasons. If you do not agree, you can close your account before the effective date; continued use counts as acceptance.
