What you get

A page of your own where fans at your shows can pick a song from your setlist, tip you, and suggest songs. You get a private control screen to run it. The site is run by Grant Fithen in Amarillo, Texas. Setting a password on your invite means you agree to these terms, the Terms and the Privacy Policy.

You work for yourself

You are an independent performer. Using this site does not make you an employee, partner or agent of the site or of Loud and Heavy Booking. What you play, where you play and what you charge are yours to decide.

Your money

• Venmo and Cash App. Fans pay you directly in those apps. That money never passes through this site and nothing is taken from it. The site cannot confirm those payments, so check your phone.
• Cards. Card payments run through Stripe. To take them you set up a payout account with Stripe, which checks who you are and holds your bank details. This site never sees them. Card payments are offered only once that setup is finished.
• What comes out of a card payment. Stripe's card processing, 2.9% plus 30 cents, and the site's share if there is one. Your share rate is shown on your profile page, starts at zero, and can never be more than 10%. If it is going to go up, you are told at your sign-in email before it does, and you can stop using the site instead.
• Refunds. Fans are promised a refund if they paid by card and the song was not played, and for a tip sent by mistake, when they ask within 7 days. A refund of a card payment comes out of the money that was paid to you.
• Taxes. Tips and request money are your income. You are responsible for reporting it. Stripe may send you and the IRS a tax form for card payments.

Your page

• You are responsible for what you put on your page: your name, your words, your links, your song list, and your Venmo and Cash App names. Do not post anything unlawful, hateful, or that belongs to someone else.
• Your Venmo and Cash App names are yours to keep right. Fans send money to the name shown on your page. If it is wrong or out of date, that money is between you, the fan and that company, and the site cannot recover it. Those names can only be changed on your own profile screen, never through the site's machine interface.
• Song titles and artist names are listed only to say what you can play. Licences for performing songs in public are handled by the venues where you play. If you play somewhere without one, that is between you and that place.
• Names and notes from fans are for running your show. Do not collect them for anything else, and do not share them.
• Keep your password to yourself. One sign in per artist.

Your data, and ending it

You can download everything the site holds about your page as one file, and you can delete your page yourself, both from your control screen, at any time and without asking. Deleting removes your name, sign-in, payment names, links and page; the amounts of past requests and tips stay as a money record with no name on them, because the law requires keeping a record of money. You can also email grant@loudandheavybooking.com and it will be done for you within 30 days. The site can switch a page off for abuse, for fraud, or if the site closes. Money already paid to you stays yours.

No warranty, limited liability

The site is provided as is. It can be down, and a phone signal at a show can fail. To the fullest extent the law allows, the site is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from it, including lost tips or lost bookings, and liability for anything else arising from this site is limited to the site's share of your card payments in the 3 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights that cannot be limited by law.

Law

Texas law governs these terms. Disputes are heard in the state or federal courts located in Potter or Randall County, Texas.
