Public Liability Insurance (PLI)

What and Why?

PLI is designed to protect you, your guests and your venue in the event of an accident involving the DJ or the DJ's equipment. Many venues now insist on a minimum level of PLI before granting access to the venue, and this requirement is often driven by the venue's own insurers wishing to offset risk. The worst case scenario is if your DJ cannot produce a valid PLI policy, your venue may refuse access in order to protect their own rights. When PLI is available for as little as £29 per year, not carrying it speaks volumes about the DJ!

ALL DJmark Silver award holders carry PLI in the name of the account holder.

Legal Music Sourcing/Dubbing (ProDub)

What and Why?

ProDub is a licence issued in the UK by PRS for Music, which governs the copying of music from any format to a digital format. For example, if a DJ copies CDs to a hard drive in order to play them using a laptop. Or changing the format of a downloaded track. Or changing the structure of a digital file in any way.

Unfortunately there are a lot of common myths surrounding ProDub, especially amongst ill-informed venue managers who consider that all digital DJs require a licence. This is not necessarily the case. Here at DJmark we understand the remit of the licence. We challenge members to confirm exactly how they manage their digital music collections and insist on sight of a ProDub licence where necessary.

Electrical Safety Tests (PAT)

What and Why?

PAT is a testing regime which inspects and tests portable electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use in a public setting.

Most DJ equipment has a hard life - bounced around in the back of a van, in and out of venues in all weathers week in, week out - so in our opinion it is essential that equipment which may come into contact with the public is regularly tested, checked and serviced. When PAT testing generally costs less than £1 per item, what does it say about a DJ who does not get it done?

Under the latest regulations, the frequency of PAT is not defined. However, for DJmark membership we insist on an annual test as an absolute minimum. We inspect PAT records held in the name of the account holder.

Contracts / Ts & Cs Issued

What and Why?

Any service provider worth dealing with will issue you with terms and conditions governing the agreement which you have made with them in respect of services to be provided. Why should a mobile disco be any different?

We hear so many stories of unscrupulous DJs who back out of jobs at short notice when a better paying offer comes in that we even set up a website needalastminutedisco.com to help dozens of people every week arrange DJ cover rapidly. Almost invariably these situations involve "lower priced" DJs and almost invariably there is no contract in place, effectively granting the original DJ carte blanche to walk away without consequence.

ALL DJmark award holders will present you with a full set of terms and conditions at the point of booking in order to establish a contract, and will usually require a small deposit from you to confirm the date. This is how a professional business in any other market would operate.

Positive Feedback Received

What and Why?

All DJmark Gold Award holders have received positive feedback from previous customers for work which they sourced via our website.

It's so easy to falsify customer feedback on the internet. All of our members' feedback is carefully vetted by us. As we monitor the entire lifecyle from initial enquiry through to feedback after the event, we can confirm that all feedback posted on our site is almost certainly genuine.

Gold Award holders must have received at least one such testimonial within the last 12 months, or, in the event that negative feedback has been received, a minimum of 5 positive feedbacks for each negative.

Requests Accepted

What and Why?

Most people booking a mobile DJ for a party want at least some say over the music styles played or not played. One of the most common complaints we hear about non-members is that they play inappropriate music and fail to "read the crowd", or are not willing to take guidance from the client.

All DJmark Gold Award holders will play your music. This can even be a rigid playlist. Or they can be trusted to pick and choose music to suit the guests in attendance plus incorporate requests from the floor on the night. They are totally flexible and accept that YOU are in charge.

Visibly Open

What and Why?

How many mobile DJs hide behind a mobile telephone number and a hotmail address? Usually the same ones who don't issue booking contracts or declare their income we expect...

All DJmark Gold Award holders have supplied a full verified postal address which we keep on file. So in the unlikely event of a problem, we know exactly where you can find them.

This member may have supplied evidence supporting a higher award but at this time it has not yet been granted. Award level progression is detailed at this page.
