You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account.
3. Booking Terms
IMPORTANT: Please read this section carefully as it defines the limitations of our platform and our responsibilities regarding bookings.
3.1 Platform Role
DJ.COMMUNITY is purely a marketplace and connection service that facilitates connections between DJs and clients. We provide tools to help users find each other, communicate, and manage their booking arrangements, but we are NOT involved in the actual booking agreements, contracts, or transactions.
3.2 Direct Agreements Between Users
Any booking agreement, contract, or arrangement is made solely and exclusively between the DJ and the client. DJ.COMMUNITY is not a party to any such contract or agreement. All terms, conditions, payments, cancellations, and obligations are between the DJ and client only.
3.3 Payment Processing Disclaimer
DJ.COMMUNITY does not process, handle, or facilitate any payments between DJs and clients. All payments are handled directly between the parties. Our platform may provide tools for users to manually log payment confirmations for their own record-keeping purposes, but these logs are user-reported data only and are not verified, validated, or guaranteed by the platform. We have no involvement in payment arrangements and do not hold, transfer, or manage any funds.

- Payment Disputes: We are not responsible for any payment disputes, defaults, non-payment, late payment, or financial losses arising from bookings. All payment issues must be resolved directly between the DJ and client.

3.6 Check-In System and Data Accuracy
Our platform provides a check-in system and manual payment logging features to help users track their bookings and maintain records. However, all data entered through these systems is user-reported and user-generated. The platform does not verify, validate, or guarantee the accuracy of check-ins, payment logs, or any other user-reported information. This data is provided for informational and record-keeping purposes only.
3.7 Reputation System Disclaimer
The reputation system, including scores, badges, reviews, and ratings, is based entirely on user-generated data and user-reported information. While we strive to maintain the integrity of the reputation system, we do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or reliability. Reputation scores should be used as one of many factors when making decisions, and users should conduct their own due diligence.
