It's never that straight forward Andy.

I know that Darren, easy to sit here and type when I don't know the situation, circumstances etc.
Simply looking at the facts, and this is what I would have done.
postpone (cancel) at a months notice, they have lost the deposit as I have little chance of getting another job
They rearrange the date - I will take another depost. But as a good will gesture - I will deduct the original deposit from the final bill.
That way, if it all goes to plan, they loose nothing and have paid the original amount. If they cancel then you have 2 deposits out of them.
In fairness, I think that is not only a good idea, but makes perfect business sense. Especially if you rely on the income.

I must admit. I'm with Andy on this one Daz.
I can see both sides of the coin, but you've effectively lost that date this year and picked up a date next year...which you would have probably filled anyway.
If you charge £400 per gig, then your effectively going to be £400 down.

Yes i am with andy and done this in the passed

Chaps... isn't the discussion of whether or not you would carry forward a deposit on a postponement a completely different discussion, and certainly not anything to do with what Darren is asking?

Correct. I am not asking for opinions on how I run my business, thanks anyway.

Assuming the latter, you can easily cover it in the email you send to them when agreeing to the change of date / carry over of the deposit.
It's just not practical to cover EVERY situation within your T&Cs.
Getting technical, there is an argument that the T&Cs re cancellation apply to the original date, so any cancellation would be post the date written in to the contract, and therefore full-fee (or whatever your T&Cs state) would apply to any subsequent cancellation. However, I wouldn't like to reply on that argument when it can be so easily covered in the email, which, in effect, acts as a supplementary contract.

I amended the contract via email.

Ahh, so this is an 'after the event' question? - ie you've already communicated your agreement in writing?
Difficult to impose any additional / amend terms now then, but at least you'll know for future reference.

I actually know the people, but it was something I started thinking about last night.
