CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT POLICY

All deposits are non-refundable. You have up to thirty (30) days prior to the contracted date to cancel your contract with Sound Center DJs without being held to the remainder of the balance on the contract. Cancellations must be in writing and accompanied with a copy of the original contract.

Keep in mind that once a DJ is booked, we turn down business for that DJ on that specific day. Since most functions are booked three months or more in advance, if an event is cancelled, more than likely our DJ will not be rebooked for that day and consequently loses pay. Holding one to a contract , if cancelled less than thirty days prior to the event, allows us to retain the best professional DJs in the area.

Although the deposits are non-refundable, we can apply the deposit to another function within one (1) year period of the original event date. Pricing may be different than the original, but the deposit amount will remain the same. Contact our Customer Service Department if you have more questions concerning our Cancellation Policy.
