Welcome to SoundWave Studios. By accessing or using our services, including audio recording, mixing, mastering, and sound design, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"). If you do not agree with all of these Terms, you are prohibited from using our services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SoundWave Studios, located at 42 Music Lane, Harmony Creek, CA 90210.
SoundWave Studios provides professional audio services as described on our website (soundwavestudios.com) and in our service agreements. We will provide these services with reasonable skill and care, adhering to industry standards. Specific details of each project, including timelines, deliverables, and pricing, will be outlined in a separate service agreement executed between SoundWave Studios and the client prior to commencement of work. This service agreement will reference and incorporate these general terms and conditions.
It is the client's responsibility to provide accurate and complete information relevant to the project. Delays or errors resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the client are not the responsibility of SoundWave Studios. Furthermore, changes requested by the client after the project has commenced may be subject to additional charges and may impact the agreed-upon timeline. We strive for clear and open communication throughout the project lifecycle and encourage clients to proactively address any concerns or questions.
Payment for services rendered by SoundWave Studios will be in accordance with the fees outlined in the individual service agreement. A deposit, typically 50% of the total project cost, may be required before work commences. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the project, prior to the release of the final deliverables. We accept payments via credit card, bank transfer, and certified check. Late payments may be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. SoundWave Studios reserves the right to suspend or terminate services for clients with outstanding invoices.
The client retains all intellectual property rights to the original content provided to SoundWave Studios. However, SoundWave Studios retains ownership of any original audio recordings, mixes, masters, or sound designs created by us during the provision of services, until full payment has been received. Upon full payment, the client will receive a license to use the finished product for their intended purpose, as specified in the service agreement. This license may be non-exclusive or exclusive, depending on the terms negotiated in the service agreement.
SoundWave Studios reserves the right to use portions of completed projects for promotional purposes, including showcasing on our website and social media channels, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing with the client. We will always respect the client's privacy and will not disclose any confidential information without their express consent.
SoundWave Studios agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all client information, including musical compositions, lyrics, and personal details, that is shared with us during the course of providing services. We will not disclose any confidential information to third parties without the client's express written consent, except as required by law. Our employees and contractors are also bound by confidentiality agreements to protect client information. We implement reasonable security measures to safeguard client data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. If you have any specific concerns regarding data security, please do not hesitate to discuss them with us.
SoundWave Studios is not liable for any loss or damage to client-provided materials, including audio recordings, instruments, or other equipment. Clients are responsible for insuring their own equipment and materials. While we take precautions to ensure the security of our facilities, we are not responsible for theft or damage to personal property. In no event shall SoundWave Studios be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use of our services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our liability is limited to the amount paid by the client for the specific services in question.
We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the suitability of our services for a particular purpose. We strive to provide high-quality audio services, but we cannot guarantee specific results or outcomes. The client's satisfaction with the final product is ultimately subjective and dependent on their own artistic vision and preferences. We encourage open communication and collaboration throughout the project to ensure that we are meeting the client's expectations to the best of our ability.
Either party may terminate the service agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice. SoundWave Studios reserves the right to terminate services immediately if the client engages in any illegal or unethical behavior, or if the client's conduct is disruptive or harmful to our business operations. In the event of termination, the client will be responsible for paying for all services rendered up to the date of termination. Any unused portion of the deposit may be refunded, less any costs incurred by SoundWave Studios.
Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services provided by SoundWave Studios shall be resolved through good faith negotiation between the parties. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through negotiation, they agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles County, California. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties. The prevailing party in any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
SoundWave Studios reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time, without prior notice. Any changes to the Terms will be posted on our website (soundwavestudios.com) and will become effective immediately upon posting. It is the client's responsibility to review these Terms periodically for any updates or changes. Continued use of our services after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
