Entertainer Independent Contractor Terms

You acknowledge and agree that you are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of MNS Business Corp. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, or partnership relationship. You have no authority to bind MNS Business Corp contractually or legally. MNS Business Corp does not control the manner, means, or details of how you perform your entertainment services.

You represent and warrant that all information in your profile — including your name, credentials, experience, photos, videos, and service descriptions — is accurate, current, and not misleading. You must promptly update your profile if any information becomes inaccurate. MNS Business Corp may suspend or remove profiles that contain false or misleading information.

You are solely responsible for all taxes on income earned through the Platform, including federal, state, and local income taxes and self-employment taxes. MNS Business Corp does not withhold taxes on your behalf. You may receive a 1099-NEC or other tax form if required by applicable law. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding your obligations.

You are responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses, permits, and insurance required to provide your services in the jurisdictions where you operate, including:

• Music public performance licenses (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, Sound Exchange) where applicable
• Business licenses required by your city or state
• General liability insurance (recommended)
• Any event-specific permits required by a venue or local government

You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws.

By uploading content to the Platform, you grant MNS Business Corp a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, distribute, and use your profile content for operating and marketing the Platform. You retain ownership of your content. This license terminates when your content is removed from the Platform, except for content already incorporated into marketing materials prior to removal.

See our Review, Testimonial & Media Release Terms for full details.

Payouts are made to the payment account you configure. You are responsible for providing accurate banking information. MNS Business Corp is not liable for failed or delayed payouts due to incorrect information you provide or third-party payment processor issues. You agree to promptly repay any amounts paid to you in error.

Once a booking is confirmed, you are contractually obligated to the client to deliver the agreed services on the agreed date, time, and location. Failure to appear or fulfill a confirmed booking ("no-show") may result in:

• Account suspension or permanent ban from the Platform
• Negative review from the client
• Potential civil liability to the client for damages
• Forfeiture of related earnings

8.1 Platform Fee Non-Circumvention. You agree not to arrange, solicit, or accept payments outside the Platform for any booking, inquiry, or service engagement that originated through DJnow.online — including bookings discovered via your DJnow profile, directory listing, or any communication initiated through the Platform's messaging system. This restriction applies for a period of 24 months after initial contact with a given client through the Platform.

8.2 No Direct Client Solicitation. You agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, contact, or communicate with any client whose information was first made available to you through the Platform for the purpose of conducting business outside the Platform. This includes but is not limited to:

• Sharing personal contact information (phone, personal email, social handles) with clients prior to a confirmed booking for the purpose of bypassing the Platform
• Inviting clients to follow personal social media accounts specifically to route future bookings off-platform
• Offering discounts, incentives, or referral fees to clients in exchange for booking directly instead of through DJnow.online
• Re-booking past DJnow clients directly for any event within the 24-month non-circumvention window without routing the transaction through the Platform

8.3 Liquidated Damages. You acknowledge that calculating the precise damages from circumvention is difficult. Accordingly, you agree that for each confirmed circumvention event, MNS Business Corp may elect to collect as liquidated damages an amount equal to three times (3×) the platform service fee that would have applied to that booking, plus any reasonable attorney's fees and collection costs. This is not a penalty but a reasonable pre-estimate of harm.

8.4 Reporting Obligation. If a client contacts you directly for the purpose of bypassing the Platform, you agree to notify MNS Business Corp at support@djnow.online within 5 business days.

8.5 Permitted Direct Contact. Nothing herein prohibits normal, professional communication with a client after a booking is confirmed and paid through the Platform for the purpose of fulfilling that confirmed booking (e.g., event logistics, playlist coordination). Post-event personal connections that arise organically and are not solicited for future off-platform bookings are also not restricted.

8.6 Consequences of Breach. Circumvention or solicitation in violation of this Section is a material breach of these Terms and may result in:

• Immediate account suspension or permanent ban
• Forfeiture of any pending payouts
• Civil legal action for breach of contract and collection of liquidated damages
• Reporting to applicable state attorney general offices where applicable

You may not solicit, incentivize, or manufacture fake reviews. All testimonials and reviews on the Platform must reflect genuine client experiences. This is required by FTC Endorsement Guidelines (16 C.F.R. Part 255). MNS Business Corp reserves the right to remove reviews suspected of being fake or incentivized and to report non-compliance to the FTC.

By uploading photos and videos to your profile, you grant MNS Business Corp the right to use such media in platform promotions and marketing, with attribution to your profile. MNS Business Corp will not use your likeness in a misleading or defamatory manner. You may request removal of specific media at any time.

If you hold an Enterprise account and assign subcontractors to bookings, you accept full responsibility for their conduct and performance. See the Enterprise Subcontractor Terms.
