Ts&Cs

These terms & conditions are probably the single most important part of our work together, and forms a contract of sorts to define my responsibilities to you, and yours to us. they have been written to ensure there is a clear understanding between us as we enter into a fragile creative partnership which could be shattered by commercial & business concerns. thanks for reading through this far!

Our pledges to you:

  1. we/anundislosedlocation will work to the best of our ability to deliver our client’s (that is, your) creative vision that they are entrusting us with.

  2. any recording(s) created shall not be shared, disseminated or broadcast via any medium without the client’s approval.

  3. we will not discuss details of any session or project with persons not involved, beyond confirming our involvement, until after the official launch. we will seek written approval before we discuss intimate details of projects with members of the press & wider media. stricter non disclosure terms can be agreed as required.

  4. we will aim to work to any reasonable schedule/release date as required by our clients.

  5. in the case that a package deal runs over the allotted time due to our equipment failure or staffing issues we will come to a satisfactory arrangement to finish the project on a case by case basis.

  6. we cede any claims to the recorded articles upon completion of the project (including payment in full (including expenses & damages), to our satisfaction). until that point, we maintain the ownership of the copyright in the recording & mixes and these may not be used without our written permission for any purpose except evaluation of work progress.

what we ask in return:

  1. we will work hard & long days in the studio with you, please remember that we get tired & grumpy to (sorry!)

  2. we work hard to ensure that the studio is a safe, creative environment for people to explore their creative muse. please let us know if there are things we can do to help you in this fragile endeavour.

  3. prompt payment! our payment terms are 50% in advance - session dates discussed are not confirmed until this is paid - with the balance due on the first day of recording. expenses are billed as they occur, to be paid by return. bookings of more than 1 week (5 days) alternative arrangements can be agreed at time of booking.

  4. in the case of a new booking request clashing with an unconfirmed booking, we will contact the holder of the earlier booking to see if they wish to confirm

  5. any damage to the buildings, equipment, instruments, items or persons caused by the client or their guests must be paid for by the client.

  6. we do like to be credited (where possible) for our contribution to your art! our business is predicated on who and what we have worked on in the past, therefore credits are one of the threads that keeps our business going.

thanks for reading this. you made it: you’re one of the good ones. sorry it’s all quite dull: you should be thankful you didn’t have to write it. but hopefully now we can keep the dull out of the studio & away from the creative environment without any confusion or awkwardness. cheers!
