This Music & Entertainment Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the Social Cues Terms of Use & Booking Agreement (the “Agreement”).

1. PRIVATE GATHERING REQUIREMENT

The Venue is operated exclusively as a private, invite-only gathering space.

The Venue is not operated as:

•       a public performance venue;

•       a nightclub;

•       a concert venue;

•       a live music venue;

•       a public entertainment establishment; or

•       a place of public assembly for open-admission events.

All Bookings must remain private gatherings limited to invited Guests.

Client acknowledges that maintaining the private, non-public nature of the gathering is a material condition of the Booking and of the pricing offered by Social Cues.

Client shall not advertise, market, promote, organize, or operate an event in any manner that converts the Venue into a public event, public performance, commercial entertainment event, admission-based event, or similar activity.

2. PUBLIC PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS

Client shall not:

•       invite attendance by the general public;

•       advertise unrestricted public admission;

•       sell tickets or admission;

•       charge cover fees;

•       permit unrestricted public access; or

•       otherwise create the appearance of a public event.

Client shall not create, publish, advertise, or promote the Booking through:

•       Eventbrite;

•       Meetup;

•       Facebook Events;

•       Partiful;

•       Dice;

•       Splash;

•       EventCreate; or

•       any similar public event platform,

where such use is inconsistent with the private, invite-only requirements of this Policy.

Social Cues may require modification or removal of promotional materials that reasonably appear inconsistent with the Venue’s private use status.

Permitted use is limited to:

•       Social Cues assumes no responsibility for copyright compliance arising from music or other content selected by Client or Guests.

Client shall not:

•       sell admission;

•       charge cover fees;

•       publicly advertise admission to the Venue;

•       permit unrestricted public access; or

•       otherwise conduct the event in a manner that creates public-performance licensing obligations.

•       Client’s activities;

•       entertainment activities conducted during the Booking;

•       use of copyrighted content;

•       Guest-controlled playback; or

•       any public-performance obligations created by Client or Guests.

7. COMPANY-PROVIDED ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES

Social Cues may make available streaming services, playlists, karaoke services, background music, televisions, audiovisual equipment, or other entertainment amenities.

These amenities are provided solely as a convenience to Clients and Guests.

Social Cues does not guarantee:

•       uninterrupted availability;

•       compatibility with Guest devices;

•       availability of any particular service or platform;

•       performance of third-party services; or
