Free Professional Dj
Service Agreement
One spilled beer on your $3,000 mixer or a client who 'forgets' their checkbook at 2 AM will kill your margins for the year. Without a signed ironclad agreement, you're just a guy with a laptop getting stiffed while the venue owners laugh at your empty pockets.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Non-Refundable Retainer' clause to ensure your time is paid for even if the client bails on the gig ten minutes before load-in.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Professional Dj, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the client asks for an extra two hours of music on the fly?
Tell them the clock only keeps ticking if they agree to the 'Overtime Rate' specified in your contract; having that number in writing stops the 'just one more song' haggling before it starts.
How do I handle a venue with shoddy electrical that might fry my gear?
Your contract should demand 'Clean Dedicated Power' from the client, shifting the liability to them if their subpar wiring smokes your expensive electronics.
The client canceled a week out and wants their deposit back. Do I give it?
No, because your written agreement clearly defines that deposit as compensation for the lost booking opportunity; the paper does the talking so you don't have to argue.
