These GTC govern the use of the services provided by DJ Alex (hereinafter referred to as “services”) by the clients (hereinafter referred to as “client”), as well as the rights and obligations of both DJ Alex and the client.

By signing the agreement or by the initial acceptance of services from DJ Alex, clients acknowledge and accept these GTC. Deviations from these GTC are only valid if agreed upon in writing with DJ Alex. DJ Alex ensures that the latest version of the GTC is included in all bookings. Oral agreements between DJ Alex and clients are invalid.

Should any provision of these GTC be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or contracts based on them. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that most closely aligns with its meaning and purpose. DJ Alex reserves the right to amend these GTC at any time. For already concluded contracts, the GTC valid at the time of contract conclusion shall apply.

  1. Offer & Service Description

DJ Alex provides the following services to clients.
– Mobile DJ services, including the provision of sound and lighting equipment
– Rental of a photo booth and accessories for a fee
Within the specified framework set by the client, DJ Alex retains creative freedom in fulfilling the contract. The specific booked services are outlined in the service description in the offer.
All offers created by DJ Alex include a binding offer validity period, which is explicitly stated in the offer. A non-binding reservation with DJ Alex is not possible.

The contract is considered legally binding once the booking contract has been signed by the client, submitted to DJ Alex, the reservation fee (deposit), if applicable, specified in the contract has been paid, and DJ Alex has issued the written booking confirmation. A legally binding contract between DJ Alex and companies, organizations, or other legal entities is equally binding for their legal successors

5. WORKING CONDITIONS
Travel & Parking:
The client must provide direct access to the event location and a free parking space for DJ Alex at the venue. If special permits are required (e.g., pedestrian zones, private roads, or restricted areas), the client is responsible for obtaining them. The client bears all costs resulting from missing permits.

Setup & Dismantling:
• Setup and dismantling of the sound and lighting equipment occur immediately before and after the performance, unless otherwise agreed.
• The client must provide adequate power supply (ideally two separate circuits of 220V) and sufficient space for equipment (between 5 and 10 m², depending on the venue).

Event Venue Requirements:
a) The venue must be dry, stable, and free from dust, dirt, or moisture.
b) For outdoor events, the client assumes full weather risk. DJ Alex’s setup and equipment must be covered and protected from direct sunlight and rain.

The client must provide sufficient non-alcoholic drinks and a meal for DJ Alex and, if applicable, an assistant before, during, and after the event free of charge.

Accommodation Expenses:
If the event location is over 100 km from Brixen (one way), the client must provide a single or double room (3-star category) with breakfast, private bathroom, and shower free of charge.

  1. Liability & Performance Interruption

The client is fully liable to DJ Alex for all damages caused by themselves, their assistants, guests, or visitors to DJ Alex’s sound and lighting equipment or other assets. The client is solely responsible for any personal or material damages occurring during an event, unless the damage results from gross negligence or intentional misconduct by DJ Alex.
If conflicts arise among guests/audience members at the event venue, or if personal safety or DJ Alex’s equipment is at risk, DJ Alex is entitled to interrupt or terminate the performance without any entitlement for the client to claim damages or a refund/reduction of the agreed fee.
DJ Alex is not liable for service interruptions due to circumstances beyond his control, such as force majeure, natural disasters, official orders, client-related operational disruptions, power outages/fluctuations, extended interruptions or delays due to speeches, games, performances, or video presentations by guests, or equipment damage caused by guests or service personnel.
If existing or installed sound and/or lighting equipment not provided by DJ Alex is used, DJ Alex assumes no guarantee or liability for its functionality. Any poor sound quality or technical issues are the responsibility of the provided equipment.
DJ Alex does not assume any liability for potential hearing damage to clients, guests, or service personnel. Clients are advised to monitor children and infants and ensure they maintain a safe distance from speakers.
The client has no right to withdraw from the contract, claim damages, or withhold/reduce the agreed fee due to the above reasons or other similar situations.
DJ Alex does not guarantee the success of an event and a subjective perception of an insufficient atmosphere does not justify claims for damages or fee reductions.
In the event of illness, accident, or death preventing DJ Alex from performing, he will make efforts to find a suitable replacement DJ, but there is no legal entitlement to this service.
