Strong Media marketplace

Marketplace terms

For clients who ask for prices and book, and for suppliers who list and send prices.

1What Strong Media is

Strong Media Corp runs this marketplace as a platform and broker only. We help clients find suppliers, ask for prices and book. We are not the supplier, and we are not legally responsible for the work, the gear, its condition, or the payment between a client and a supplier. Those are between the client and the supplier.

2Asking for prices

3Our fee, and paying the supplier

4Cancelling

Each listing shows which of these three cancellation terms the supplier chose. The same terms apply to the supplier if they pull out of a booking they already confirmed.

TermsWhat happens
FlexibleFree cancellation up to 2 days before. After that, half the agreed rate.
StandardFree over 7 days notice. Half between 2 and 7 days. Full rate under 48 hours.
FirmFree over 14 days notice. Half between 7 and 14 days. Full rate under 7 days.

Strong Media records the figure, so neither side has to argue it again, but does not hold the money and is not responsible for collecting it.

5Deposits and damage

A supplier may ask for a refundable deposit on gear. It is paid to the supplier at handover and returned when the gear comes back as it left. If gear is damaged, the client and the supplier settle it under the terms above and their booking. Strong Media does not insure gear and does not hold deposits; we keep the record of what was agreed.

6Reviews

After a completed booking, the client and the supplier are each invited by e-mail to rate the other. Ratings come only from real, completed bookings.

7Keeping work on the platform

Strong Media is paid only when work is booked here, so introductions made here stay here. This applies to suppliers and to clients.

8How you agree

Going live with a listing, sending a price, approving a booking, or sending a booking request is your agreement to these terms. Each is time-stamped on your record.
