dj Contract Liability Concern

belleofabride, on June 18, 2018 at 11:07 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

Hi all -

I get that we're liable for the DJ's equipment if someone spills something, but this section of the contract concerns me...

Client liable for damages/injuries to DJ's equipment caused by the electrical source provided to the DJ.

Is this standard? I'm concerned because there is no way for us to know about the venue's electricity/wiring and if it is faulty. Thanks for your help!

    That's one of the reasons why you get liability insurance for your event.

    My contract had something similar. I didn't get overly worried as my venue is a private country club that hosts events with DJs all the time so their electrical set-up is just fine. I imagine the contract includes that verbiage as some outdoor areas, barns, etc may be challenging as far as providing power to the area.

    Hi Belleofabride! It's a good thing that you are reading through the contract carefully. From my knowledge, this is something that's standard for DJs as they want to protect themselves just in case something happens. I would maybe call over and get some clarification on this point just to make sure both parties are on the same page! I hope this helps!!
