1.1 Imperial Drummers take into account that functions may run late. To accommodate for this, Imperial Drummers will give you an hour grace period from the start of the booking time. If the dhol drummers are still kept waiting after this grace period of an hour, you will incur an additional charge of £50 per drummer. The late fee must be paid in cash on the day of the booking in full amount.
1.2 Imperial Drummers reserve the right to terminate the booking if they are kept waiting for more than two hours past the stated start of booking time. The waiting charges (as stated in section 1.1) and booking fee will still be applicable.
2.1 Bookings that require our drummers to perform outdoors will be dependent on the weather. Our dhol drummers reserve the right not to perform outdoors if the weather conditions are such that they could cause damage to our drums. (E.g. raining, snowing etc.). In these circumstances, you will still be charged for the booking however we will do our best to accommodate you by playing indoors.
2.2 Any damage caused to the drums of our performers at the fault of guests/family will be billed and charged for damages.
3.1 Imperial Drummers cannot guarantee that all changes to a booking that you request will be accommodated however we shall try our best to do so. If you require our drummers to perform again when it is not stated on this contract, then an extra charge will occur.
3.2 If Imperial Drummers encounter any inappropriate behavior or verbal abuse from a guest or family member at the function, then the drummers reserve the right to terminate and leave the booking at their own discretion. The full payment and late fee must still be paid in full by cash.
4.1 The full payment owed to Imperial Drummers must be paid in cash on the day. Alternatively, if you prefer a full bank transfer this can be done one week prior to the function taking place. (Speak to the Imperial Drummers Team regarding this)
4.2 Any tip money given to Dhol drummers while performing belongs to Imperial Drummers.
5.1 A non-refundable retainer is required to secure the booking date. This deposit reserves the musicians' availability and covers administrative and preparatory work.

5.3 Exception: If the Musician(s) are able to secure a replacement booking of equal value for the same date and time, the deposit (or a proportion thereof) will be refunded, less any reasonable administrative costs.
6.1 If the Client cancels the booking 7 days or fewer before the scheduled performance date, the Client agrees to pay the full agreed fee. This is to cover the Musician(s)' lost opportunity, preparation, and potential inability to rebook the date.
6.2 The non-refundable retainer will be deducted from the total fee, with the remaining balance due immediately.
6.3 All cancellations must be submitted in writing to be considered valid.
