Clear terms, in plain words.

1. The service

Stage Backer, led by Joshua Jeremiah, provides speaker outreach services. This means researching speaking events, writing pitches and follow-ups and, on Center Stage and Headliner, sending them and tracking replies. What each package includes is listed on the For Speakers page.

2. Payment

All packages and add-ons are one-time fees in US dollars, paid in full by invoice before work begins. There are no commissions on your bookings and no fees added later.

3. Timeline

Your event list and pitches are delivered within 7 days of receiving your completed speaker form. Center Stage campaigns run for 60 days and Headliner campaigns for 90 days from delivery.

4. Your approval and your name

Nothing is sent in your name until you approve the pitch. Outreach is sent from an inbox set up in your name, and every organiser relationship belongs to you.

5. What is not included

Stage Backer does not negotiate fees, sign contracts, arrange travel or act on your behalf in any agreement with an organiser. You agree terms and get paid directly. Bookings depend on organisers' decisions, so no specific number of bookings is guaranteed.

6. Our promise

If fewer qualified events are delivered than the minimum in your package, we keep researching until the minimum is reached, or refunds the difference for the missing events.

7. Cancellations and refunds

You can cancel for a full refund at any point before you send your speaker form. Once research has started, fees cover work already underway and are not refundable, except under the promise above.

8. Your information

Details you share, including your speaker form and contact form messages, are used only to deliver your service and are never sold or shared with anyone else.
