Terms & conditions

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Dharmik Chudasama, an independent live singer. The main office is at 702, M-11, M-Avenue, Rustomjee Evershine Global City, Virar West, Maharashtra 401303, India. In these terms “Dharmik”, “we” and “us” mean Dharmik Chudasama and the musicians who perform alongside Dharmik on a booking; “you” and “the client” mean the person or organisation that books or enquires. You can reach us at +91 77780 41808 or +91 92653 27685, on WhatsApp, or at any office listed on the contact page.

2. Using this website

The website describes the services, repertoire and offices of Dharmik Chudasama. It has no accounts and no payment features. You may read it and share links to it. You may not copy its text, photographs, videos or design for another site or product without written permission, and you agree not to misuse it, probe it for weaknesses or send automated traffic that harms it. The information is given in good faith, but dates, fees, availability and local details can change; nothing on the site is an offer that can be accepted without confirmation from us.

3. Enquiries and bookings

There are no booking forms. You enquire by WhatsApp or phone, giving the event, the date, the place, the venue and the number of guests. A booking exists only when the date, the venue, the format (solo, duo or band), the fee and the payment terms have been agreed and confirmed, in writing by message or email, and any advance has been received. Until then the date is not held. We confirm availability for a date, not for a general period.

4. Fees and payment

Fees are quoted for each event and depend on the date, the place, the length of the performance, the format, the travel needed and the equipment. Quotes for events in India are in Indian rupees and for events elsewhere in the currency agreed in writing. Taxes, including GST where it applies, are added or included as stated in the quote. An advance is normally taken to hold the date, and the balance is paid as agreed, normally before or on the day of the performance. Extra time beyond the agreed length is charged separately and is performed only if the venue and the performers agree.

5. Cancellation and rescheduling

If you cancel, the advance is normally not refundable, because the date has been kept free for you, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You may ask to move the event to another date; this is accepted when we are free on the new date, and the advance is carried over. If we have to cancel because of illness, an emergency or any other reason within our control, we return the advance in full or, if you prefer, move the booking to a date that suits you. Neither side is liable for cancellation caused by events beyond reasonable control (clause 13).

6. Travel, stay and logistics

For events outside the Mumbai region, travel, local transport, accommodation and meals for the performers are agreed with the fee, either included in the quote or arranged by the client; the quote says which. Dates are confirmed only when the travel can be arranged. Larger bands normally arrive the day before the event. We are not responsible for delays caused by flights, trains, roads or weather, but we will do what we reasonably can to arrive on time.

7. Venue, power, sound and safety

The client is responsible for the venue being ready and safe: a stage or clear performance area, reliable power with backup where needed, shelter from rain and wind for outdoor events, safe access for the performers and their equipment, and a private space to prepare. Unless the quote says otherwise, we bring the instruments and the sound system that the agreed format needs. The client obtains any permission needed for the event and for amplified sound, and respects the noise and finishing-time rules that apply to the venue. We may pause or end the performance if the safety of the performers or the audience is at risk.

8. Music, copyright and licences

Dharmik performs songs written and recorded by others as live cover versions and tributes. The compositions, lyrics and recordings belong to their creators, singers and labels, and nothing on this website or in a performance gives anyone a licence to them. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or representing any singer, composer or label whose songs or names are mentioned; they are used only to describe the repertoire.

Public performance of music at an event usually needs licences from the rights organisations of the country in question; in India these are commonly IPRS, for composers, lyricists and authors, and PPL, for sound recordings, where they apply. Obtaining and paying for those licences is the responsibility of the organiser or the venue, and many hotels, restaurants and event venues already hold them. On request we share the list of songs planned for your event to help with this. See also the song playlist.

9. Recording, photography and social media

Guests are welcome to take photographs and short videos for personal memories. A professional recording, a live-stream or a broadcast of the performance needs our written agreement in advance, and the organiser arranges the music rights for it. Unless the client asks us in writing not to, short clips of the event may be photographed or filmed for the portfolio and social media pages, without showing private information.

10. Remote and virtual performances

Dharmik also performs remotely, for example for a wedding, a corporate event or a family celebration held in another country. The client provides or chooses the video platform, a stable internet connection and a screen and speakers suited to the audience, unless we agree otherwise. A short test session before the event is recommended. Times are agreed in a stated time zone. Problems caused by the client’s connection, equipment or platform do not entitle the client to a refund, but we will help to find a solution, including a short repeat performance where possible.

11. Bookings outside India

For events in another country we confirm the booking in a written agreement that states the fee, the currency, who pays for flights, visas, permits, accommodation, local transport and insurance, and how local taxes or withholding are handled. Some countries require a performance permit or a work visa; the client or a local agent arranges it with our help, and the date is confirmed only when it is granted. Local law applies to the performance and to the venue.

12. Conduct

We expect a safe and respectful environment for the performers, their team and the audience. We may stop the performance, without refund, if there is abuse, harassment or danger, or if the client asks for something illegal or unsafe.

13. Events beyond our control

Neither side is liable for failing to perform a duty because of something outside its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, severe weather, war, civil disturbance, government orders, epidemics, a venue closing, or an airline or transport shutdown. The parties will try to move the event to another date. If that is not possible, the advance is dealt with fairly, taking into account the costs already incurred.

14. Liability

Our liability to a client for a booking is limited to the fee paid for it. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profit or the cost of other arrangements for the event. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that the law does not allow to be excluded.

15. Links and embedded content

The website embeds Google Maps and Instagram Reels and may link to other sites. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them. See the privacy policy for how this site handles your information.

16. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms, and the date at the top shows when they last changed; a booking is governed by the terms that applied when it was confirmed, together with anything agreed in writing for that booking. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Maharashtra have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rules that apply where you live.

17. Contact

Questions about these terms: call +91 77780 41808 or +91 92653 27685 or write on WhatsApp, or visit the main office at 702, M-11, M-Avenue, Rustomjee Evershine Global City, Virar West, Maharashtra 401303, India. All offices are on the contact page.
