There is an agreement between you ("client") and the artist ("contractor").
Showbird is not a party. We have only made the booking + invoicing possible via our platform.

Yes, this is possible if the perfomance is 3 weeks longer from the time of booking. It is important that payment is received by us the next time, according to the payment term indicated on the invoice.

How does this work?
Choose the option 'Bank transfer' on the payment page and you will receive an invoice by e-mail. An administration fee is charged for this option, just like e.g. Credit card and PayPal did. This amounts to 5% of the total booking price, with a minimum of €50 and a maximum of €100.
