Table of Contents
1. Acceptance of Terms & Nature of Services
1.1 Application of Terms
These Terms & Conditions govern all entertainment bookings and associated services supplied or arranged by House of Saskia ("the Business").
They apply to bookings involving Goddess Saskia, additional entertainers and other Performers engaged to provide the agreed services.
The person or organisation making the booking is referred to as the "Client".
The legal supplier operating under the House of Saskia business name will be identified in the relevant booking documentation.
These Terms should be read together with the accepted quotation, Booking Confirmation and any additional conditions expressly agreed before payment.
1.2 Nature of Services
House of Saskia provides professional adult entertainment and event services, including:
-
Bikini, lingerie, topless and nude waitressing.
-
Striptease, themed shows and adult performances.
-
Dominatrix-themed entertainment and consensual roleplay.
-
Non-sexual companionship and social appearances.
-
Multi-Performer entertainment and customised packages.
-
Coordination of approved third-party experiences, including private boat charters and venue arrangements.
All services are subject to availability, Performer consent, venue suitability, applicable laws and the agreed booking arrangements.
1.3 Strictly Non-Sexual Services
House of Saskia provides entertainment services only.
The Business does not provide prostitution, sexual services, erotic massage or physical sexual contact in exchange for payment.
Any nudity, adult-themed performance or audience participation forms part of the agreed entertainment service and does not imply the availability of sexual services.
Clients and guests must not pressure, intimidate or attempt to negotiate with Performers to provide services outside their agreed boundaries.
Performers may refuse inappropriate requests immediately. Serious or repeated breaches may result in suspension or termination of services in accordance with Section 7.
1.4 Booking Enquiries & Acceptance
Submitting an enquiry, requesting a quotation or browsing the website does not constitute a confirmed booking or acceptance of a booking contract.
A booking is confirmed only when:
-
The Client has accepted the quotation and applicable Terms & Conditions.
-
Required identity and age verification has been completed.
-
The applicable advance payment has been received.
-
House of Saskia has issued written confirmation of the booking.
Until these requirements are satisfied, dates and Performer availability are not guaranteed.
House of Saskia may decline an unconfirmed booking for legitimate reasons, including insufficient availability, failure to complete required verification, unsuitable conditions, safety concerns or legal restrictions.
Where payment has been accepted for a proposed booking that the Business subsequently declines before confirmation, it will be refunded unless another lawful and expressly agreed arrangement applies.
1.5 Confirmed Services
The Booking Confirmation will specify the agreed date, start time, location, duration, number of Performers, entertainment services, applicable prices and other relevant arrangements.
Only the services expressly agreed and confirmed are included in the booking.
Additional services, extended performance time and changes to the original arrangements require further agreement and may incur additional charges.
1.6 Changes to These Terms
The Terms & Conditions accepted at the time a booking is confirmed will apply to that booking.
House of Saskia may amend its published Terms & Conditions for future bookings.
Changes will not automatically apply retrospectively to existing confirmed bookings without agreement, except where required by applicable law.
2. Age Verification & ID Privacy
2.1 Strictly 18+ Entertainment
All Clients and persons attending or participating in adult entertainment provided by House of Saskia must be at least 18 years of age.
The Client is responsible for taking reasonable steps to ensure that minors are not present in, or able to view, the designated entertainment area.
Where a Performer reasonably suspects that an attendee is under 18 years of age, satisfactory proof of age may be requested.
If the attendee cannot provide appropriate verification, they must be excluded from the entertainment area before services continue.
Where the situation cannot be resolved promptly and safely, the Performer may suspend or terminate the affected services.
Any financial consequences will be determined in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and applicable law.
2.2 Mandatory Client Identity Verification
House of Saskia requires valid government-issued photographic identification from the person responsible for making the booking before accepting the booking advance payment.
This requirement applies to all entertainment bookings unless an alternative verification arrangement has been expressly approved by the Business.
Acceptable identification may include a valid driver's licence, passport or another suitable government-issued photographic identity document.
Verification is undertaken for legitimate business purposes, including:
-
Confirming the Client's identity and age.
-
Reducing fraudulent or misleading bookings.
-
Protecting Performer safety.
-
Maintaining accurate booking records.
-
Assisting with legitimate payment disputes or safety incidents.
House of Saskia may decline an unconfirmed booking where satisfactory verification is not provided.
2.3 Collection & Use of Personal Information
Personal information collected during the booking process will be used for legitimate purposes associated with booking administration, identity verification, service delivery, safety and compliance with applicable laws.
House of Saskia will seek to collect only the information reasonably necessary for those purposes.
Personal information will not be sold or used for unrelated marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.
2.4 Identification Records & Security
Where practicable, House of Saskia may verify identification without retaining a complete copy of the identity document.
Where an identification copy is reasonably required, the Business will take reasonable steps to protect it against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure.
Access to identification information will be restricted to persons who reasonably require it for authorised business purposes.
Complete identification copies will not be retained indefinitely.
Records will be securely deleted or de-identified when no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable legal obligations.
Minimal verification records may be retained for legitimate administrative, legal or safety purposes.
2.5 Confidentiality & Disclosure
Identification and booking information will be treated confidentially.
Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary for the agreed booking, with appropriate consent, or where required or authorised by law.
Clients may contact House of Saskia to enquire about personal information held about them, request correction or raise a privacy concern.
Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the Business's privacy practices.
3. Bookings, Fees & Payments
3.1 Quotations & Pricing
All quotations are provided in Australian dollars (AUD).
The agreed quotation will identify the applicable entertainment services, booking duration, number of Performers, location, total price and any additional charges.
All mandatory fees, applicable GST and unavoidable charges will be included in the total quoted price, with optional or separately arranged services clearly identified.
Prices may vary according to location, availability, event date, performance requirements and the services requested.
3.2 Advance Payments - Solo Entertainment
Standard solo entertainment bookings require an advance payment of 20% of the agreed Entertainment Fee.
This payment secures the booking once all confirmation requirements have been satisfied.
The advance payment forms part of the total Entertainment Fee and is not an additional charge.
Refunds and cancellation charges are governed by Section 4.
3.3 Advance Payments - Multi-Performer Bookings
Bookings involving two or more Performers require an advance payment of 50% of the agreed Entertainment Fee.
This higher advance payment reflects the additional scheduling commitments and financial obligations that may arise when House of Saskia engages other Performers.
The advance payment forms part of the total Entertainment Fee and is subject to the applicable cancellation provisions.
House of Saskia may specify different advance payment arrangements for customised or special bookings where these are clearly disclosed and accepted before confirmation.
3.4 Third-Party Bookings
Services arranged through independent third-party providers may require separate payment arrangements.
Where House of Saskia arranges and collects payment for a private boat charter, 100% of the agreed Charter Fee is required upfront before the vessel reservation is confirmed.
Charter fees and entertainment fees are separately identified and subject to their respective cancellation arrangements.
The relevant third-party conditions will be provided before the applicable booking is confirmed.
3.5 Outstanding Balances
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the remaining balance of the Entertainment Fee must be paid before the scheduled entertainment commences.
Any earlier payment deadline will be disclosed in the Booking Confirmation.
Where payment is overdue, House of Saskia may request payment before commencing services.
Failure to make an agreed payment may result in suspension or cancellation after a reasonable opportunity to remedy the issue, where appropriate.
Any resulting cancellation charges will be assessed in accordance with Section 4 and applicable law.
3.6 Minimum Booking Durations
Entertainment services may be subject to minimum booking durations.
Any applicable minimum duration will be disclosed before booking confirmation.
The agreed price covers the confirmed booking duration, subject to the Business providing the contracted services and the applicable cancellation arrangements.
3.7 Premium Surcharges
Additional charges may apply to:
-
Public holidays and peak-demand dates.
-
Bookings scheduled between 12:00 am and 5:00 am.
-
Short-notice or emergency bookings.
-
Remote, regional or interstate locations.
-
Additional equipment, costumes or specialised requirements.
Applicable surcharges will be disclosed and included in the agreed quotation before payment.
No additional surcharge will be imposed on an existing confirmed booking without agreement, unless expressly authorised by an agreed and lawful pricing provision.
3.8 Travel, Accommodation & Other Expenses
Where travel or accommodation is required, the Client may be responsible for separately agreed expenses, including flights, fuel, accommodation, transfers, parking, tolls and other necessary travel arrangements.
These costs will be disclosed before the Client authorises them.
Where House of Saskia has reasonably incurred non-refundable expenses with the Client's prior agreement, the Client may remain responsible for legitimately unrecoverable amounts following a voluntary cancellation, subject to Section 4 and applicable law.
Reasonable steps will be taken to recover or minimise these expenses where practicable.
3.9 Additional Services & Extended Time
Requests for additional services, extended performance time or upgrades are subject to Performer availability, consent and approval.
Applicable additional charges must be agreed before the extra services are provided.
No Performer is obliged to provide services outside the original booking agreement.
3.10 Payment Disputes & Outstanding Amounts
Clients must not knowingly initiate fraudulent or misleading payment disputes.
Nothing in these Terms restricts a Client's right to raise a genuine dispute, request a lawful chargeback or exercise rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Where an amount is genuinely and legally owing, House of Saskia may seek its recovery through appropriate lawful processes.
Any additional recovery expenses must be reasonable and legally recoverable.
4. Cancellations, Changes & Delays
4.1 Cancellation Notice
Clients are requested to submit all cancellations and booking amendments in writing to House of Saskia's official booking email address.
Email is the preferred method of communication to ensure an accurate record of cancellation requests.
Notice communicated through another channel will not automatically be disregarded where clear and valid notice has been received.
Cancellation notice periods are calculated from the time notice is received to the confirmed Event Start Time, using the local time at the event location.
4.2 Client Cancellations - Solo Entertainment
For standard solo entertainment bookings, the following cancellation arrangements apply:
48 Hours or More Before the Event
Where the Client provides at least 48 hours' notice before the scheduled Event Start Time, all payments made towards the Entertainment Fee will be refunded in full.
This policy does not automatically extend to separately agreed, lawfully unrecoverable third-party expenses, including travel, accommodation or charter costs.
Less Than 48 Hours Before the Event
Where the Client cancels less than 48 hours before the Event Start Time, House of Saskia may apply a reasonable cancellation charge to recover legitimate financial losses resulting from the cancellation.
These may include reasonably substantiated lost net earnings, previously incurred expenses and other legitimate booking-related losses.
The amount charged will be determined in accordance with Section 4.4.
4.3 Client Cancellations - Multi-Performer Bookings
Bookings involving two or more Performers require additional scheduling arrangements and may involve binding financial commitments to other entertainers.
The following cancellation arrangements apply:
7 Days or More Before the Event
Where the Client provides at least seven full days (168 hours) of notice before the scheduled Event Start Time, all payments made towards the Entertainment Fee will be refunded in full.
Separately agreed and lawfully unrecoverable third-party expenses remain subject to their applicable cancellation terms.
Less Than 7 Days Before the Event
Where the Client cancels less than seven full days before the Event Start Time, House of Saskia may apply a reasonable cancellation charge reflecting legitimate financial losses arising from the cancellation.
These losses may include amounts the Business is legally obliged to pay engaged Performers under genuine, pre-existing cancellation arrangements.
Reasonably substantiated lost net earnings and other unrecoverable booking expenses may also be considered, subject to Section 4.4 and applicable law.
4.4 Calculation of Cancellation Charges
Cancellation charges are intended to compensate House of Saskia for legitimate financial losses resulting from a Client's voluntary cancellation, rather than impose a punishment.
Relevant losses may include:
-
Genuine contractual cancellation payments owed to engaged Performers.
-
Reasonable booking administration and preparation costs.
-
Previously authorised expenses that cannot reasonably be recovered.
-
Reasonably foreseeable lost net earnings or booking opportunities, where properly substantiated and legally recoverable.
In calculating cancellation charges, House of Saskia will consider:
-
Services already provided.
-
Expenses avoided because of the cancellation.
-
Amounts recovered from suppliers or third parties.
-
Replacement bookings or alternative work secured.
-
Reasonable opportunities to minimise the financial loss.
The same loss will not be recovered more than once.
Cancellation charges for the entertainment component will not exceed the agreed Entertainment Fee. Separately authorised and legitimately unrecoverable third-party expenses are assessed under their applicable terms.
Any lawful cancellation charge may be deducted from payments already received, with the remaining refundable balance returned to the Client.
Where a legally recoverable cancellation charge exceeds the advance payment, House of Saskia may seek an additional amount only where the contractual and legal requirements for doing so are satisfied.
The Business will provide a reasonable explanation of any cancellation charge upon request.
No advance payment is automatically forfeited in its entirety solely because a cancellation occurs within the applicable notice period.
4.5 Private Boat Charters - Payments & Cancellations
Charter Payment Requirements
Private boat charters arranged and paid for through House of Saskia require 100% payment of the agreed Charter Fee before the vessel reservation is confirmed.
This requirement reflects the financial commitments incurred by House of Saskia when reserving a charter with an independent vessel operator.
Charter and entertainment fees are separate charges and are subject to different cancellation arrangements.
The applicable charter operator, total agreed price, any separately charged House of Saskia coordination fee and relevant cancellation conditions will be disclosed before payment.
Client-Initiated Charter Cancellations
Where a Client voluntarily cancels a confirmed private charter, the charter operator's disclosed cancellation conditions will apply, subject to Australian Consumer Law and the contractual arrangements.
Depending on the terms and circumstances, the operator may be lawfully entitled to retain part or all of the payment made to it.
Where House of Saskia has incurred a genuine and unrecoverable payment obligation to the operator, the Client may remain responsible for that amount to the extent permitted by the booking agreement and applicable law.
House of Saskia will take reasonable steps to:
-
Notify the operator of the cancellation.
-
Request any available contractual or discretionary refund.
-
Recover refundable amounts where reasonably practicable.
-
Reduce avoidable cancellation losses.
-
Return any amount legally due to the Client.
Where the operator offers a discretionary refund beyond the Client's legal or contractual entitlement, granting that additional refund may remain at the operator's discretion.
Any House of Saskia coordination charge will be assessed separately in accordance with the agreed terms, services performed and applicable law.
The entertainment cancellation notice periods of 48 hours and seven days do not automatically apply to private boat charter fees.
Operator-Initiated Charter Cancellations
Where a charter operator cancels or materially changes a scheduled service, including because of weather, vessel availability, safety or operational restrictions, the Client's rights to a refund, replacement service or rescheduling will be determined in accordance with applicable contractual and statutory rights.
House of Saskia will assist with the arrangements for which it is responsible.
Nothing in these provisions limits any legal obligation House of Saskia may have to the Client arising from the way the charter was supplied, arranged or sold.
4.6 Client-Arranged Third-Party Bookings
Where a Client books and pays a third-party provider directly, that provider's agreement will ordinarily govern the separate transaction.
House of Saskia's Terms & Conditions will continue to apply to the entertainment services booked through the Business.
The Client must ensure that any third-party venue or operator has approved the proposed entertainment before the relevant services commence.
4.7 Booking Amendments & Rescheduling
Requests to change a booking's date, start time, duration, location, number of Performers or entertainment arrangements are subject to availability.
House of Saskia will make reasonable efforts to accommodate changes where practicable.
Where an amendment results in additional expenses, Performer commitments or third-party charges, the applicable amounts will be explained before confirmation.
Substantial changes that cannot be accommodated may require cancellation of the original booking and a new reservation.
Where a Client elects to cancel because a requested amendment cannot be accommodated, the original booking's applicable cancellation provisions will apply.
A new advance payment will not be required automatically for every rescheduling request. Any additional amount must be reasonably justified and agreed.
4.8 Client Delays & Communication
Where a Performer arrives at the agreed location on time and is ready to provide the confirmed services, the reserved booking period will commence at the scheduled start time.
Delays attributable to the Client, including venue access restrictions, payment issues or failure to provide an appropriate entertainment environment, will not automatically extend the agreed booking duration.
If a Performer cannot establish contact with the Client or obtain the agreed access after reasonable attempts over 15 minutes, the Performer may depart where continuing to wait is impractical or unsafe.
The booking may then be treated as a Client no-show.
Any cancellation charge or refund will be assessed in accordance with the circumstances, the agreed booking arrangements and applicable law.
4.9 Performer Delays
Where a Performer is delayed for reasons attributable to House of Saskia, the paid performance duration will commence when the agreed services can begin, unless another arrangement is accepted by the Client.
Reasonable efforts will be made to provide the full agreed duration.
Where the full service cannot be delivered, an appropriate refund or other remedy will be provided in accordance with the circumstances and the Client's rights under Australian Consumer Law.
4.10 Statutory Rights
These cancellation arrangements apply to voluntary Client cancellations and do not exclude or restrict statutory rights.
Where House of Saskia fails to provide the agreed services or the Client is otherwise entitled to a remedy under Australian Consumer Law, that entitlement takes precedence over the general cancellation arrangements.
Refunds that are due will be processed within a reasonable time.
5. Client Responsibilities & Venue Requirements
5.1 General Client Responsibilities
The Client is responsible for providing accurate booking information and making reasonable arrangements for the agreed entertainment to proceed safely and lawfully.
This includes confirming relevant venue details, access arrangements, guest numbers, event timing and any restrictions affecting the entertainment.
The Client must communicate the agreed performance rules to guests and take reasonable steps to prevent inappropriate conduct.
5.2 Venue Safety Standards
The performance location must be reasonably safe, lawful and suitable for the confirmed services.
Appropriate venue arrangements may include:
-
Safe and unobstructed entry and exit points.
-
Adequate lighting, ventilation and performance space.
-
Clean, hygienic and reasonably maintained facilities.
-
Suitable flooring and safe access.

Appropriate privacy from members of the public and minors.

Performers may refuse to enter or remain in a location presenting a reasonable safety risk.
5.3 Licensed Premises & Regulatory Requirements
Where entertainment is booked at licensed premises, a commercial venue or another regulated location, the Client must obtain the venue operator's approval for the proposed entertainment.
Certain forms of adult entertainment may require specific permits or approvals under applicable Queensland legislation, including the Liquor Act 1992.
House of Saskia will take reasonable steps to identify and comply with legal requirements applying to its own activities.
The Client must not provide false or misleading information about the venue's approval, permitted activities or applicable restrictions.
Where entertainment cannot lawfully proceed because of a material failure attributable to the Client, reasonable cancellation charges may apply in accordance with Section 4.
5.4 Hotels, Apartments & Private Accommodation
Where an event is held in a hotel, serviced apartment, holiday rental or other managed accommodation, the Client must confirm that the proposed entertainment is permitted.
The Client must provide accurate room details, access instructions and any required permissions.
Where access is refused by management or security, the circumstances will be considered when determining the appropriate cancellation charge or refund.
Automatic forfeiture of all payments will not apply solely because venue access is denied.
5.5 Outdoor Events
Outdoor bookings must have suitable arrangements for weather protection, privacy, safe access and appropriate facilities.
Performances may be modified, postponed or discontinued where weather, unsafe conditions, public exposure or legal restrictions prevent the agreed entertainment from proceeding.
Any financial consequences will depend on the applicable booking agreement, the circumstances and relevant law.
5.6 Animals & Hygiene
Animals must be appropriately secured away from the performance area where their presence may compromise safety.
Guests are expected to maintain reasonable personal hygiene and respect the physical boundaries of Performers.
Performers may refuse close-contact activities where hygiene, illness, intoxication or other conditions reasonably create a safety concern.
5.7 Private Boat Charters
All passengers must comply with the charter operator's safety requirements and lawful directions from the skipper and crew.
The Client and guests must comply with passenger limits, responsible alcohol service requirements and all applicable vessel safety rules.
Unsafe intoxication, interference with vessel operations or other serious safety breaches may result in the charter operator altering or terminating the voyage.
Entertainment aboard a vessel is subject to the operator's approval and applicable law.
Any entertainment additional to that already approved, including changes to the agreed level or nature of the performance, requires approval from House of Saskia, the relevant Performer and the vessel operator.
Any refund or cancellation consequences arising from a charter being interrupted will be determined under the applicable agreements and law.
5.8 Failure to Meet Venue Requirements
Where the Client has materially failed to provide agreed, safe or lawful conditions, House of Saskia may suspend or terminate affected services where reasonably necessary.
Performers are not required to remain at a location where their safety or wellbeing may be compromised.
Any financial consequences will be assessed under Sections 4 and 7, taking account of the circumstances and applicable law.
6. Performance Rules, Consent & Boundaries
6.1 Ongoing Consent
All entertainment and audience participation is subject to ongoing consent.
Performers retain the right to establish and enforce their individual physical, personal and professional boundaries.
Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
A Performer's refusal of a particular activity must be respected immediately, without pressure, negotiation, intimidation or retaliation.
6.2 Physical Contact
Physical contact with a Performer is prohibited unless the Performer has expressly authorised the specific interaction.
Permission for one activity does not constitute permission for other physical contact.
Unauthorised touching, grabbing, groping, restraint or interference with a Performer's body or clothing is strictly prohibited.
6.3 Audience Participation
Lap dances, games, roleplay and other interactive entertainment are subject to the agreed service, individual consent and applicable laws.
Participation must be voluntary.
Performers may decline or modify an activity where a participant is excessively intoxicated, behaving inappropriately or unable to participate safely.
6.4 Multi-Performer Bookings
Each Performer maintains their own individual boundaries and consent.
An activity accepted by one Performer does not create any obligation for another Performer to participate.
No Performer may be pressured to undertake activities outside their agreed role or personal limits.
6.5 Dominatrix & Special Performances
Dominatrix-themed entertainment and specialised shows are consensual, non-sexual and limited to the performance arrangements agreed before the event.
Permitted activities may include theatrical domination, roleplay, positioning, verbal interaction, controlled sensory activities and other expressly agreed non-sexual performance elements.
All activities remain subject to individual consent, safety considerations and the agreed performance limits.
The following activities are prohibited:
-
Sexual services or physical sexual contact in exchange for payment.
-
Non-consensual activities or coercion.

Pressure to reverse or change agreed performance roles.
-
Non-consensual roleplay or scenarios involving simulated coercion.
-
Unauthorised photography, filming or audio recording.
-
Activities outside agreed safety limits.
Where appropriate, additional performance boundaries may be documented in a separate agreement.
Nothing in that agreement removes the right of any participant to withdraw consent.
6.6 Requests Outside the Agreed Services
Performers are under no obligation to provide additional activities beyond the confirmed booking.
Requests that are unlawful, unsafe, sexual in nature or outside agreed boundaries may be refused immediately.
Refusal to provide an unagreed additional activity does not constitute a failure to provide the contracted services.
Serious or repeated breaches of consent or performance boundaries may result in suspension or termination under Section 7.
7. Zero-Tolerance & Performer Safety
7.1 Commitment to Performer Safety
House of Saskia maintains a zero-tolerance approach to violence, harassment, intimidation and serious breaches of consent.
The safety, dignity and wellbeing of Performers are fundamental conditions of every booking.
No Performer is required to continue an activity or remain at an event where they reasonably believe their safety or wellbeing is at risk.
7.2 Prohibited Conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited:
-
Non-consensual touching, grabbing, groping or physical interference.
-
Sexual harassment, coercion or pressure to provide sexual services.
-
Threats, violence, intimidation or abusive behaviour.

Dangerous intoxication or behaviour involving illegal substances.
-
Possession or threatening use of weapons creating a safety concern.
-
Unauthorised photography, video recording, audio recording or surveillance.
-
Theft, deliberate property damage or interference with Performer belongings.
-
Obstruction of exits or attempts to prevent a Performer from leaving.
-
Any conduct that creates an immediate or unacceptable risk to a person's safety.
7.3 Right to Refuse, Suspend or Terminate Services
A Performer may refuse, suspend or immediately terminate any activity or booking where they reasonably believe continuing would compromise their safety, consent or wellbeing.
The Performer is not required to remain at the location, negotiate with an aggressive individual or attempt to resolve a threatening situation before leaving.
Where appropriate, House of Saskia may contact venue security, emergency services or police.
7.4 Financial Consequences of Misconduct
Where a booking is reasonably terminated because of serious Client misconduct or a material breach for which the Client is responsible, House of Saskia may seek compensation for reasonable and legally recoverable losses.
Relevant considerations may include:
-
Services already provided.
-
Reasonable financial commitments to engaged Performers.
-
Legitimate losses arising from the early termination.
-
Expenses avoided or amounts recovered.
-
The circumstances that caused termination.
-
The right to terminate an unsafe booking is independent of the assessment of cancellation fees or refunds.
Termination does not automatically result in forfeiture of every payment made.
Any amounts retained or claimed will be assessed under the applicable booking agreement and Australian law.
7.5 Interference With Performer Departure
Clients and guests must not prevent, obstruct or interfere with a Performer's departure.
This includes blocking exits, restricting access to transport, confiscating belongings, hiding keys or following a Performer in a threatening manner.
Serious incidents may be reported to law enforcement.
7.6 Safety Monitoring
House of Saskia and its Performers may use reasonable safety arrangements, including location sharing with designated safety contacts, booking check-ins and arrival or departure confirmations.
Clients and guests must not intentionally interfere with these arrangements.
Personal information collected through safety procedures will be used only for legitimate purposes and handled in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.
7.7 Refusal of Future Bookings
House of Saskia reserves the right to refuse future bookings from individuals reasonably associated with serious safety incidents, fraudulent bookings or repeated material breaches of these Terms.
Relevant internal safety records may be maintained for legitimate operational purposes.
Such records will be handled confidentially, with any disclosure to third parties limited to circumstances permitted or required by law.
Nothing in this provision prevents lawful reporting of incidents to appropriate authorities.
8. Media, Recording & Online Conduct
8.1 Photography & Recording
Photography, video recording, audio recording, live streaming and other recording of Performers are prohibited unless the relevant Performer has provided express prior consent.
House of Saskia may require written consent arrangements before recording is permitted.
Permission may be restricted to a particular image, recording, purpose or audience.
Consent to one photograph or recording does not constitute permission to make additional recordings or distribute the material publicly.
8.2 Publication & Distribution
Images, videos and other recordings involving Performers must not be published, shared, sold or otherwise distributed beyond the scope of the permission granted.
Commercial use requires any necessary additional permissions.
Where consent is withdrawn, further recording or uses requiring continuing consent must cease, subject to applicable law and any lawful rights already granted.
8.3 Venue Surveillance & Hidden Cameras
The Client must disclose any known recording devices or surveillance systems operating in the designated entertainment area where they may capture Performers.
House of Saskia may require arrangements to prevent unauthorised recording where reasonably practicable and lawful.
Performers may decline or suspend activities where undisclosed surveillance or recording creates a reasonable privacy or safety concern.
This provision does not require interference with legally mandated security systems or lawful evidence preservation.
8.4 Performer Privacy
Clients and guests must respect the personal privacy of all Performers.
Without appropriate authorisation, they must not publicly disclose a Performer's non-public personal information, including:
-
Residential or private addresses.
-
Private telephone numbers or email addresses.
-
Non-public social media accounts.
-
Personal identification documents.
-
Other private identifying information.
These restrictions do not prohibit lawful reporting to authorities, obtaining legal advice, making genuine complaints or other disclosure protected or required by law.
8.5 Online Conduct, Reviews & Feedback
House of Saskia welcomes genuine feedback and lawful, honest customer reviews.
Clients retain the right to raise complaints, express opinions and report legitimate concerns to relevant authorities.
Nothing in these Terms prevents the lawful exercise of those rights.
House of Saskia reserves the right to pursue appropriate legal remedies where genuinely unlawful conduct occurs, including actionable defamation, harassment, threats or misuse of private information.
9. Cancellations by the Business & Force Majeure
9.1 Performer Unavailability
House of Saskia will make reasonable efforts to provide the Performer or Performers identified in the confirmed booking.
Where a Performer becomes unavailable due to illness, injury, emergency or another legitimate reason, House of Saskia will notify the Client as soon as reasonably practicable.
A suitable replacement Performer, adjusted package or alternative date may be offered where available.
Where the booking specifically identifies a particular Performer, the Client will not be required to accept a materially different substitute without agreement.
9.2 Cancellations by House of Saskia
Where House of Saskia cancels a confirmed booking and is unable to provide the agreed entertainment services for reasons not attributable to the Client, payments received for undelivered entertainment will be refunded.
Where services have been partially provided, the appropriate refund or other remedy will depend on the circumstances and the Client's applicable contractual and statutory rights.
Alternative arrangements, including rescheduling, replacement services or account credit, may be offered where appropriate.
A Client will not be required to accept account credit instead of a refund or other remedy to which they are legally entitled.
9.3 Events Beyond Reasonable Control
Circumstances beyond the reasonable control of either party may include:
-
Severe weather or natural disasters.
-
Public emergencies or government restrictions.
-
Significant transport disruptions.
-
Unexpected venue closures or safety restrictions.
-
Other events that prevent the agreed services from proceeding despite reasonable precautions.
Where such circumstances arise, the affected party should provide notice as soon as reasonably practicable.
House of Saskia will make reasonable efforts to explore suitable alternatives and minimise disruption.
Any entitlement to cancellation, rescheduling, refunds or other remedies will depend on the circumstances, the applicable agreement and Australian law.
The occurrence of an event beyond reasonable control does not automatically remove statutory consumer rights.
9.4 Third-Party Service Disruptions
Where a third-party charter operator, venue or transport provider cancels or materially changes a service, House of Saskia will assess the effect on the confirmed entertainment arrangements.
Reasonable alternative arrangements may be proposed where available.
Refunds and other remedies for third-party services will be assessed under the relevant agreements, House of Saskia's role in the transaction and applicable law.
Where entertainment and third-party services were supplied as part of a combined arrangement, any additional contractual or statutory rights arising from that transaction will be preserved.
9.5 Rescheduling & Replacement Services
Any material change to the confirmed entertainment services, including a replacement Performer, revised package or change of date, requires the Client's agreement.
Where a suitable alternative cannot be provided or agreed, the appropriate refund or other remedy will be determined in accordance with the original agreement and applicable law.
9.6 Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this section excludes or restricts rights arising from a failure to provide services with due care and skill, within an agreed or reasonable time, or in accordance with other applicable consumer guarantees.
10. Legal Framework, Liability & Governing Law
10.1 Performer Engagement Arrangements
House of Saskia may engage additional Performers to fulfil confirmed bookings.
Performers may operate under separate engagement agreements, with their actual employment or independent contractor status determined by applicable law and the working arrangements.
Nothing in these Terms automatically creates an employment, partnership or agency relationship between the Client and a Performer merely because the Client purchases entertainment services.
This provision does not remove any legal responsibilities House of Saskia has as the contracting service provider.
10.2 Australian Consumer Law
House of Saskia acknowledges that its services may be subject to consumer guarantees and other protections under the Australian Consumer Law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where a provision conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, that requirement will prevail.
10.3 Liability
House of Saskia will take reasonable care in arranging and providing agreed services.
To the extent permitted by law, the Business is not responsible for loss or damage caused solely by the negligent, unlawful or intentional conduct of the Client or another person for whom the Business is not legally responsible.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer guarantees and obligations arising from the Business's own conduct.
10.4 Client Responsibility & Indemnity
The Client is responsible for reasonably foreseeable losses directly caused by their own negligent, unlawful or intentional conduct, or material breach of these Terms, to the extent recognised by law.
Where the Client is legally responsible for another person's conduct, that responsibility may also be relevant.
The Client agrees to indemnify House of Saskia against reasonable and legally recoverable losses arising from such conduct, but only to the extent caused by the Client or persons for whom the Client is legally responsible.
This indemnity does not apply to the extent a loss arises from House of Saskia's own negligence, breach of contract, unlawful conduct or other non-excludable responsibility.
10.5 Intellectual Property
The House of Saskia business name, branding, logos, original website content, photography, promotional materials and other protected intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners or licensors.
A booking does not grant the Client any right to commercially reproduce, distribute or exploit protected materials without appropriate permission.
10.6 Complaints & Dispute Resolution
Clients are encouraged to contact House of Saskia directly regarding booking concerns, payment disputes or complaints about services.
Complaints should include relevant booking details and a clear explanation of the issue so that the Business can reasonably investigate and respond.
House of Saskia will make reasonable efforts to resolve genuine complaints fairly, promptly and professionally.
Nothing in these Terms prevents a Client from seeking assistance from a consumer protection authority, tribunal, court or other appropriate body.
10.7 Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, subject to any mandatory laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Disputes may be brought before an appropriate court or tribunal with jurisdiction.

10.9 Entire Agreement
The accepted quotation, Booking Confirmation, these Terms & Conditions and any additional conditions expressly agreed between the parties together constitute the booking agreement.
Where separately negotiated terms conflict with standard provisions, the individually agreed conditions will generally take precedence, subject to applicable law.
