I want to get some legal advice and guidance on my rights to the contract attached.
I held a private event and hired 4 entertainers for the event. At the last minute I had to cancel one of the entertainers. The contract states that if you cancel on the day of you are responsible for the balance. I understand that part, but it also states that there is a rescheduling fee that you could pay also. The manager for the entertainer contacted me 1 time after I cancelled and I never heard from her again until today.
I have been trying to figure out some alternative actions to resolve this matter for both of us. She has threaten to sue me for the money, plus the administrative court fees and all the money that he could have made that night since I canceled him. My course of action since the contract states that a rescheduling fee is allowed and there is not limitation or date wherein you have to reschedule, is to pay the reschedule fee and rebook him for another date. She said no I could not do that (even though it doesn't state that in the contract) and he just wants his money.
She goes on in her email to say this is not the way to run a business and my reputation being ruined. When infact after I canceled his part of the event, he had actually contacted the other dancers and advised them that the event I was having was canceled which sabotaged my event altogether.
Wanted to know if this was worth going to court over, pay the balance or advise the manager that I have the right to reschedule as stated in the contract?
