Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help musicians?

Happ helps musicians manage contracts, payments, and collaborations in one place - with tools to protect bookings with kill fees and deposits, define sync licensing terms, and structure studio session payments around deliverables.

How do I protect myself from last-minute gig cancellations?

Your agreement includes a tiered kill fee structure and non-refundable deposit. Cancellations within the defined window trigger compensation.

Can I license my music for specific use only?

Yes. Sync licensing terms define the platform, geography, duration, and context. Each new use requires a new license.

How do I handle studio session payments?

Structure milestones around session days or deliverables - tracking, mixing, mastering.

Can I require full payment before I perform?

Yes. Set your final payment milestone before the event. The agreement ensures you're paid before you take the stage - not after.

What happens if a booking gets postponed instead of cancelled?

Postponements beyond your defined window are treated as new bookings - requiring fresh confirmation and a new deposit. The original date is released.

How does Happ help me manage multiple bookings and venues?

Every booker, event company, venue, and agent is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history. No more lost threads or forgotten contacts.
