Terms:
The Client agrees to, unless previously agreed otherwise -Studio Time: All recording time is booked in a minimum of 4hr sessions. 4hrs = 1/2 day available on week nights and weekends. 8 hrs = full day available on weekends only. Clients are allowed 1/2 hour of setup time before the scheduled session begins. The session begins at the time scheduled, if for some reason you are not on time you will be still billed from the time scheduled.
Payment: Payment for Tracking and Mixing minus Scheduling fee is due at the end of each Session or end of day Session. Payment for Mastering "Only" projects is payable up front prior to Mastering. Mastering is a one time final process to prepare a CD to be sent to a replicating/duplicating facility. No change request are accepted after the "Master Disk" or "DDP Files" have been compiled and sent in for replication/duplication. Any changes after the fact will result in new charges. Studio time which exceeds the allotted pkg time will be charged at the hourly rate and due at the end of the Session. A package deal requires that a project reaches completion. Any pkg that fails this due to the Client's non scheduling in a timely manner of further sessions or decision not to complete will be considered incomplete. Back-ups will be given to the client and project will be deleted. No refunds for any work done and paid for. Any work that is not paid for will become the property of IHPM Studios and held for 90 days waiting payment before being discarded.
Scheduling: Studio time is upon availability. A Scheduling fee of $50 per session is required at the time of booking each session and is non-refundable. (This fee is part of the production fee not additional. i.e. you schedule 1 session at $100, Pay scheduling fee upfront of $50, then $50 will be due at the end of the session on session day. If you are a no show or don't reschedule within 24hrs before the scheduled day, or reschedule and not make the rescheduled date you will forfeit the scheduling fee of $50.)
Licensing: Is the responsibility of the client. Clients seeking replication/duplication will be requiered to sign a waiver to the fact that He/She is copyright owner or licensed to use all project material. CD Houses do require proof of ownership or license.
