A & B Worldwide Entertainment, LLC
(Applies to booking Daniel & Bri or either artist individually)
These Organizer Terms (“Terms”) apply to all event organizers, promoters, studios, festivals, companies, and private clients (“Organizer”) who book, hire, negotiate with, or otherwise engage A&B Worldwide Entertainment, LLC (“Artist”). These terms are in addition to the Bachata Legacy Website Master Terms. These Terms apply to booking the duo or either artist individually under any professional name, variation, translation, or branding.
For clarity, “Artist” includes, without limitation:
Daniel & Bri (and all language variations such as Daniel and Bri, Daniel y Bri, etc.)
Daniel Arnon
Bri Jones / Brianna Jones
Any abbreviations, alternate spellings, stage names, identifiers, or references to either or both artists.
Any booking, negotiation, acceptance of an offer, or payment made to any of the above is legally treated as a booking of A&B Worldwide Entertainment, LLC. These Terms govern all bookings unless a separate fully executed written contract overrides specific clauses.
1. Booking Scope, Services, and Boundaries These Terms apply to all event types and bookings, regardless of how they were initiated or confirmed. The Artists will provide only the services explicitly confirmed in writing.
Additions: The Organizer may not add workshops, performances, media obligations, or private lessons without prior written approval from the Artists.
Promoter Status: The Artists are hired as featured talent, not promoters. The Artists are not subject to ticket sales quotas, mandatory posting schedules, or affiliate marketing requirements.
Social Dancing: Unless specifically negotiated otherwise, social dancing is capped at a maximum of 2 hours per scheduled party night. The Artists will manage their floor time at their discretion.
Schedule Delays: The Artists will accommodate reasonable scheduling shifts but reserve the right to cancel a workshop or performance without financial penalty if the schedule is delayed by more than 90 minutes, while remaining legally entitled to 100% of the agreed fee.
2. Binding Communications Any pricing or service details agreed upon via written or voice message (WhatsApp, Instagram, email, etc.) by the Organizer and the Artists (or their designated manager, Steven Cruz) are immediately legally binding. However, these Master Terms can only be overridden by explicit, written approval from the Artists. Casual conversation does not alter these terms.
3. Date Confirmation & Complete Payment Guarantee To officially secure the dates on the Artists' calendar, the Organizer must complete ONE of the following initial payments via Stripe, as agreed upon in writing:
Option A: A nonrefundable 50% deposit of the total agreed fee.
Option B: Full upfront nonrefundable funding of the Artists' mutually approved flight itinerary.
The Organizer may not promote the Artists until Option A or Option B is completed.
By submitting this initial payment, the Organizer authorizes the secure retention of their payment method as a strict financial guarantee for all terms in this Agreement.
The remaining performance balance (either 50% or 100%, depending on the deposit option chosen) is due strictly upon the Artists' arrival, in USD cash, prior to any services rendered.
Cash Receipt Verification: The cash balance must be handed directly to the Artists. No cash payment is legally considered received, paid, or settled until the Artists issue an explicit written confirmation of receipt (via WhatsApp or email) to the Organizer. If the Organizer cannot produce this digital confirmation from the Artists, the balance remains legally unpaid.
Failure to Pay: If the Organizer fails to remit the final cash balance upon arrival (verified by the digital receipt protocol), the Artists will withhold all services and are legally authorized to automatically charge the saved payment method for the full outstanding amount, plus a 3% platform processing fee.
4. Private Lesson Revenue 100% of private lesson revenue belongs to the Artists. The Organizer may not take any percentage or commission, nor dictate pricing or scheduling, unless formally negotiated in a separate written agreement.
5. Travel, Accommodation, and Venue Requirements The Organizer must provide the following at no cost to the Artists:
Flights: Two (2) direct roundtrip flights (where available), each including: 1 checked suitcase (23kg), 1 carry-on suitcase, and 1 personal item.
Lodging: 1 private hotel room in the main event venue/hotel. If there is no main event hotel, the provided hotel must have a minimum 3-star rating, be located within 10 minutes of the primary venue, and include a private bathroom and air conditioning.
Food: Three (3) nutritionally balanced grain-free and dairy-free meals per day.
Water: Continuous access to bottled water for workshops, socials, and the hotel room.
Ground Transport: All ground transportation between the hotel, airport, and event venues.
Tech Access: Direct access to the DJ soundboard or main speaker system to plug in personal audio recording equipment during scheduled workshops.
Flight Booking Protocol & Disruptions: To guarantee on-time arrivals and priority coordination, the Artists manage their own flight bookings. The Organizer and Artists will mutually agree on an itinerary and price in writing. The Organizer must transfer the exact flight cost immediately. Flight price quotes are valid for 24 hours. If ticket prices increase before the Organizer transfers the full payment, the Organizer must cover the price difference. The Artists will purchase the flights upon receipt of the funds and provide the official confirmation. If severe weather, airline cancellations, or transit emergencies require a flight to be rebooked, the Organizer is fully responsible for immediately covering any price difference or change fees required to secure the new itinerary.
Organizer-Managed Booking Liability: If the Organizer elects to book the flights directly, they assume 100% responsibility for all logistics. In the event of delays, cancellations, or missed connections, the Organizer must personally manage all rebooking directly with the airline and immediately cover any resulting change fees, new ticket costs, or emergency hotel accommodations. The Artists will not negotiate with airlines or wait on hold for flights they did not purchase. If an Organizer-managed booking failure prevents the Artists from arriving on time, the Organizer remains liable for 100% of the contracted performance fee.
Expense Recovery: If acceptable meals or required ground transportation are not provided by the Organizer, the Artists will secure them independently. The Organizer must reimburse the receipts immediately upon presentation. If reimbursement is not provided in cash on the same day, the exact receipt amount will be automatically charged to the Organizer's saved payment method. If luggage is lost, the Organizer will assist with transport for essential items.
6. Cancellation & Incapacity
Cancellation by the Organizer requires written consent from the Artists.
If cancelled more than 6 weeks prior to the event, the Organizer forfeits the deposit, all flight funding, and any other payments already made.
If cancellation occurs within 6 weeks of the event, the Organizer remains responsible for payment of 100% of the agreed total fee and forfeits the deposit, all flight funding, and any other payments already made. The Artists are legally authorized to automatically charge the Organizer's saved payment method for the remaining balance in full plus a 3% processing fee. If this automated charge fails, is declined, or is disputed, the Artists will immediately pursue full legal recovery of all amounts owed, including all associated legal and collection fees.
Artist Incapacity & Safe Cancellation: If either Artist suffers a physical injury, severe illness, or extreme personal emergency that prevents performance, the Artists reserve the right to cancel their appearance. All payments are strictly nonrefundable. In this event, any performance fees already paid will be converted into a credit, and the Artists will provide the Organizer with at least 3 alternative date options within 12 months of the original event. If the Organizer rejects or fails to select one of these valid options within the 12-month window, the credit permanently expires. The Artists retain the funds in full and are fully released from all further obligations. The Artists will not be liable for any of the Organizer’s lost profits, unrecoverable travel costs, venue fees, or marketing expenses.
7. Media Rights and Restrictions The Organizer may film the Artists solely for event recaps and promotion of future editions of the same event. The Organizer may not use the Artists' image or footage to imply the Artists will return for future dates unless the Artists are formally rehired and a new deposit is paid.
The Organizer must deliver full-resolution, unedited, logo-free files of all footage featuring the Artists. The Artists retain full ownership and unrestricted worldwide usage rights to all media featuring them, for any purpose, without approval or compensation.
8. Liability and Force Majeure The Organizer guarantees a safe environment and indemnifies the Artists against all claims, injuries, health issues, or property losses arising from the event.
Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to severe natural disasters, pandemics, or government shutdowns. However, flight cancellations do not release the Organizer from their obligations. The Organizer must rebook replacement flights at their own cost. Costs already incurred by the Artists remain nonrefundable.
9. Universal Expense Recovery & Card Authorization By providing a payment method for the initial deposit, the Organizer authorizes the Artists to securely hold this card on file as a complete financial guarantee.
If the Organizer fails to remit any balance, reimbursement, penalty, or fee owed under this Agreement exactly when due, the Artists are legally authorized to automatically charge the saved payment method for the full outstanding amount, plus a 3% platform processing fee.
This universal authorization applies to all financial obligations, including but not limited to:
The remaining performance balance
Unreimbursed meals, flights, or ground transportation
Cancellation penalties
Unplanned hotel or emergency travel costs incurred due to Organizer negligence or failure to provide agreed-upon accommodations
The Organizer explicitly waives the right to dispute, block, or issue a chargeback for any transaction executed under this clause to recover contractually owed funds.
Venue Safety: The Organizer guarantees a safe environment and indemnifies the Artists against all claims, injuries, health issues, or property losses arising from the event. If the Artists feel physically threatened, subjected to severe harassment, or placed in an unsafe environment, they reserve the right to terminate services immediately without refunding any fees.
Strict Limitation of Liability: Under no circumstances will the Artists or A&B Worldwide Entertainment, LLC be held legally or financially liable for indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages. This includes, but is not limited to, lost ticket sales, lost bar revenue, or damage to the event's reputation. If the Artists are found legally liable for any breach of this Agreement, their maximum total financial liability shall never exceed the actual performance fee paid by the Organizer.
10. Contract Precedence & Gap-Filling These Master Terms & Conditions serve as the permanent operational baseline for every Daniel & Bri booking. Submitting the initial deposit or flight funding formally activates this document and locks the booking into the following strict order of legal authority:
10.1. The Initial Agreement: The specific event contract provided by the Artists and signed by both parties holds the highest authority. If a term in the Initial Agreement explicitly conflicts with this document, the Initial Agreement stands.
10.2. The Master Terms (This Document): This document acts in parallel to fill all omissions and expand on partial details. If the Initial Agreement mentions a broad category (e.g., "Organizer provides flights" or "Hotel included") but omits the specifics, the detailed rules in these Master Terms (such as exact luggage allowances, room privacy, or specific dietary needs) automatically apply. A simplified summary in the Initial Agreement does not constitute a conflict. A Master Term is only overridden if the Initial Agreement explicitly revokes it in writing.
10.3. Voided Communications: Activating this booking completely nullifies any prior verbal negotiations, WhatsApp threads, emails, or Organizer-drafted documents. Only the Artists' Initial Agreement and these Master Terms govern the booking.
11. General Legal Provisions
Confidentiality: All pricing, fees, and private communications are strictly confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.
Independent Contractors: The Artists operate strictly as independent contractors. This agreement does not create an employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture. The Organizer is not responsible for the Artists' health insurance or workers' compensation.
Visas and Taxes: The Organizer is entirely responsible for securing and paying for any necessary work visas or performance permits. The Total Fee must be paid net of any local withholding taxes.
Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. All disputes shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in Washington State. The Organizer waives any right to participate in class actions.
Severability: If any judge, arbitrator, or legal authority deems 1 specific clause of these Terms unenforceable, all remaining clauses will remain in full legal force and effect.
Acknowledgment: By booking the Artists, accepting pricing, or paying any amount toward a booking, the Organizer legally confirms they have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms in full.
