Service fee


UNIQler waives registration fees, fee-based membership and advertising incomeFor UNIQler to be able to exist at all and to further expand their service, we are dependent on a commission feeThis only applies when the transaction is successful. This commission fee of 15 % is deducted from the performance fee before it is transferred to the artist. Thus, the musician receives 85 % of the agreed performance fee. 
 

There are no additional costs for the organizer! 
 

Example: 
 

  • A pianist offers her performance for a flat rate of CHF 500.- 

  • The wedding couple pays 500.- CHF (no hidden costs)  

  • The pianist receives 425.- CHF (85 %)  

  • UNIQler receives 75.- CHF (15 %) 
     

Stripe charges between 3-6 per transaction for the payment process.  

These costs are covered by UNIQler!




Cancel



Nobody expects to have to cancel an event but sometimes this cannot be avoided. Organizers can cancel booked performancesIf the organizer cancels the performance, a cancellation fee of 10 % of the full performance fee will be charged. Consequently 90 % of the paid performance fee will be refunded to the organizer’s credit card. 


Musicians cannot cancel orders that have already been accepted on the platform. In case of a cancellation, the musician must contact UNIQler directly and a 10 % service fee of the total amount is due by the musician. This will be billed to the musician by UNIQlerThe organizer will then be reimbursed 100 % of the payment made by him.  

 

We recommend that musicians suggest substitute performers in the event of any cancellations. This offers the organizer an alternative and avoids cancellation fees.
