  1. Our services
    • We have agreed to include your Profile on the Site (and within associated marketing material whether online, mobile, in-app or hardcopy) for the purposes of introducing Clients to your Venue.
    • Whilst we may manage or assist with the signing process for your contract with the Client, you contract direct with Clients in respect of any Bookings and, for the avoidance of doubt, we shall have no liability (whether to you or the Client) in respect of the same.
    • Registration of your Venue with The Collection, Searcy Tansley & Co Ltd is free. There are no joining or annual membership fees; Commission is payable only on actual Bookings.
    • Your Venue will only go live on the Site when: (i) the relevant agreement box has been ticked on the on-line registration form; and (ii) you have approved your Profile.
  2. Commission
    • In consideration of the Services we provide you will pay us the Commission.
    • Within 3 days of the Booking you will notify us in writing of the estimated Total Spend.
    • Within 3 days of an Event you will notify us in writing (with evidence on request) of the actual Total Spend and we will issue an invoice to you for the Commission due.
