The booking fee covers the agreed-upon hours of live saxophone performance. Please note that this does not encompass the time required for setting up equipment prior to the performance commencing or dismantling and packing down equipment once the performance concludes.

Jake's Sax will endeavor to find a suitable replacement musician, subject to the client's approval, but cannot guarantee this.
If the event is postponed by the client, the booking may be transferred to a new date subject to availability. The deposit will be transferred to the new date. If a mutually agreeable new date cannot be found, the cancellation terms outlined in section 3 will apply.
