Article 1 - Vision and artistic awareness

The Client therefore declares to be fully aware of the musical genre, repertoire and type of concert subject of this writing, accepting them in full without reservation.
 
Article 2 - Compliance and Authorizations
Mab. declares that, no later than the date of the performance, the same and Chicky Mo Swing Band will be in possession of all the authorizations and obligations provided for by the current legislation on artistic performances (INPS - ex ENPALS, INAIL, etc.).

Article 3 - Equipment and Audio/light service
Mab declares that the Chicky Mo Swing Band will be equipped with instrumentation and audio/light
equipment appropriate to the performance required and the spaces intended for it. This audio/light equipment is provided together with the concert and is to be considered an essential condition (conditio sine qua non) for the realization of the performance itself.
The Chicky Mo Swing Band exclusively uses its own technical equipment and does not connect or integrate with equipment provided by third parties or the host location, because the set-up and the acoustic and voice configuration are derived from specific technical and artistic studies aimed at preserving the sound identity and performance quality of the Artist.
If the customer wants to enhance or customize the stage set, making the performance more spectacular (e.g. through additional lighting effects, smoke, motorized headlights, modular stages, projections, ledwalls or other visual elements), Mab will be able to provide additional optional services, available at the price list and on a dedicated quotation.
Therefore, any proposals for setting up or modifying the stage area, stage or performance spaces, even if carried out by third parties commissioned by the Client (e.g. event planners, set-ups, local services, location technicians), must be submitted for prior written approval to Mab or the Artistic Director delegated by it, at least 15 (fifteen) days before the event date.
All the technical and scenographic configurations proposed by Mab will be developed respecting the artistic and visual coherence of the Chicky Mo Swing Band.
It is absolutely forbidden for the Customer to hire , commission or allow the intervention of other suppliers or external technicians for the amplification, installation, phoning or management of the audio/lighting system, as well as for the preparation or modification of the stage area or the area intended for the possible dancing phase or further performances.
Failure to comply with this prohibition will result, at the discretion of Mab, in the immediate termination of the contract for non-performance by the Customer, with the right of Mab to detention or full compensation, subject to compensation for any further damage.
The Customer will not be held responsible for the equipment and musical instruments owned and/or in possession of Mab and/or the Chicky Mo Swing Band and/or individual musicians and technicians, except for failures and/or damage resulting from:
·         malfunction or regulatory inadequacy of electrical installations and/or equipment (e.g. switchboards, sockets, etc.);
·         Inadequate electrical voltages;
·         The stage or performance space is inadequate in relation to climatic conditions, logistical requirements or does not meet the safety requirements;
