CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The additional contractual terms set out below are in addition to the standard Contract terms.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the MUA may choose to perform some aspects of the makeup trial by telephone or video link.
Clients must thoroughly wash or sanitise their hands before the MUA will provide the makeup services. The application of the makeup services will likely take longer than normal due to the additional time required to complete any appropriate cleaning or sanitisation of equipment, and for the MUA to implement the wearing of appropriate PPE.
It is preferable that only the MUA and the person receiving the makeup services should be in the room. Additional persons may be present, but only if the Government guidelines for the time being on social distancing can be met. The MUA will refuse to apply makeup services to anybody who appears to display some or all of the symptoms of Covid-19.
The Client must notify everyone who is having the makeup services of the above provisions.
If the Wedding Date cannot take place due to a further Government Covid-19 lockdown the deposit will be transferred to a new mutually agreeable date following the easing of lockdown. Both the Client and the MUA must act reasonably in agreeing a new date, but if no date can be agreed then the deposit is lost. If a new date is agreed, but subsequently the Client finds the limitations in force at that time are too restrictive and wishes to postpone to a new date then the third paragraph of Cancellations and Postponements above will apply.
