Supplier & HAMUK Responsibilities
2.1 HAMUK has a vetting process for all members with the aim of only listing safe & quality mermaid performers, however as all listed performers are sole traders or businesses in their own right we offer no specific guarantees.
2.2 All Mermaid Profiles are able to be directly accessed and updated by that mermaid, whilst HAMUK will do regular checks to attempt to keep all profiles accurate and up to date, ultimately the accuracy and content of each profile is the responsibility of the listed mermaid and any needs for verification of any listed qualifications or certifications should be directed to the mermaid.
2.3 HAMUK are not responsible for the photos mermaids upload to their profiles and are under no obligation to check the source of that image. Whilst we will monitor to attempt to ensure all images are of the mermaid and/or an accurate representation of their packages, as the mermaids can update their profiles any time HAMUK cannot guarantee the accuracy of the representation.
2.4 Any copyright discrepancies must be brought to the mermaid shown on the profile and HAMUK is not liable for any potential litigation as a result of any images used. If notified, HAMUK will remove images that are under copyright dispute.
2.5 All listed mermaids/performers and businesses had to agree to our member terms and conditions when applying for listing. Should they misrepresent themselves in any way this would be breaking the terms they have agreed to. If you believe a listed supplier has broken our terms please contact info@hireamermaid.co.uk
Booking & Contractual Obligations
3.1 Both client and mermaid are responsible for their own bookings and communications.
3.2 Once communication has started, the responsibility of securing the correct information and organising the booking with you [the client] is solely with the supplier of that package/booking.
3.3 Once a booking is confirmed, honouring that booking and any pre-agreed specifics or contractual obligations are solely that of the mermaid.
3.4 Any bookings made with a listed mermaid whether within or outside the site are not the responsibility of HAMUK to monitor or fulfill.
Cancellations & Rearrangements
4.1 Any cancellations or requests to rearrange a booking whether made by the mermaid or the client are not the responsibility of Hire A Mermaid UK
4.2 When booking through ‘Instant Book’ or ‘Appointment Request’ each package has its own booking terms you must agree to.
4.3 Individual performers/mermaids and businesses may have their own booking terms outside of HAMUK and by using our site to make a booking or contact a mermaid you understand that you may need to agree to or be agreeing to additional terms.
Insurance & DBS Checks
3.1 During the application process, all mermaids/performers are advised that it is strongly recommended to have public liability insurance and an up to date DBS check when accepting work. However, as Hire A Mermaid UK is now operating as a directory/listing site we do not have the authority or precedent to ask to see these documents.
3.2 Despite being strongly advised, in the UK it is not a legal requirement for entertainers [mermaids] to have a DBS check, as they are not being left alone with children. Due to this, whilst we strongly encourage it - we cannot insist or guarantee that any listed mermaid/performer has a DBS check.
3.3 Despite being strongly advised, it is not a legal requirement for entertainers [mermaids] to obtain insurance. Due to this we cannot insist or guarantee that any listed mermaid/performer has insurance.
3.4 Should you require a copy of a mermaid/performer's DBS or Insurance in order to proceed with your booking, you should contact the mermaid/performer directly to request a copy prior to booking.
