Ask to book for a venue you do not own, what you are certifying, and who approves it.
A booking agent can be approved to work a venue's calendar without owning its listing. This is representation, and it is deliberately not a claim.
If the venue is not listed yet, you can submit it and request to represent it in one step.
The attestation says that the venue has authorised you to book shows on its behalf, and that you will honour the bookings you make. You are not claiming the listing: its owner stays responsible for its details and can end your representation at any time. Misrepresenting the relationship can cost you the representation and the account.
Representation does not depend on the venue owner paying for booking, or on the venue having an owner at all. Your access is yours.
