We’ll run the project with clear stages and written sign-offs, so you always know what has been approved, what is still in play, and what is next. These terms apply from the date you accept the proposal or ask us to start work, whichever happens first.
Scope of work
We’ll deliver the music production for your project, including the stages we agree up front and the handover package at the end. The specific deliverables and any options you’ve chosen sit under this section as a list, and they are what we are responsible for delivering.
Anything not on that list is not included. If you later want extra tracking, editing, alternate versions, extra stem groups, or format changes, we’ll treat that as a scope change and we’ll agree the price and impact on dates before we do the extra work.
* Production roadmap * Final stereo masters * Mix stems package * Multitrack session archive * Recall notes file * Delivery folder for release
Payment
To book the work, we invoice 40% of the total price when you sign. We invoice the remaining 60% when we hand over the finished work. Every invoice is payable within 14 days of its date.
If an invoice goes overdue, we’ll pause new work and hold back new deliveries until the account is up to date. If a deadline is coming up, tell us early. We can only protect dates, bookings, and staffing once payment is in and we have what we need from you to move the project forward.
Revisions
A “revision round” is one pass of changes to a mix based on a single, consolidated written notes list from you or your A&R. The price includes one full mix revision round. We’ll apply the notes, print the updated mix, and send it back for sign-off.
If you want a second round, or if notes arrive in separate messages that pull in different directions, we’ll treat it as additional work. We’ll quote it first and only continue once you approve in writing. We do this to keep decisions clean and to stop the project drifting late.
Who owns what
Once you’ve paid in full, you own the final delivered masters and the delivered stems and session archive we hand over for this project, and you can use them for your release and promotion. Until payment is complete, we keep ownership of all work in progress.
We keep ownership of our templates, presets, sample libraries, routing, production methods, and any tools we bring to the work. If we share any working files, they’re for your use on this project only. You confirm you have permission to use any audio, samples, beats, or session files you send us.
Portfolio use
We may show the finished work as part of our portfolio, for example on our website, reels, or in private listening links for prospective clients. We only show what has been released or publicly shared by you, unless you tell us in writing that we can share it earlier.
If you need the project kept private, or you want a timed hold until your release date, tell us in writing before delivery. We’ll follow that request. This does not change your ownership of the final deliverables or our right to be credited where credits are used.
Problems and limits
We’ll take reasonable care with sessions, recordings, edits, mixes, and exports, and we’ll keep notes so decisions can be tracked. If something we deliver is technically wrong, for example a bad bounce, an export error, or a clear mismatch to the signed-off notes, our responsibility is to fix it by redoing the affected work.
We can’t be responsible for losses that sit outside the project itself, like missed release opportunities, distribution decisions, marketing spend, or third-party platform issues. We also can’t be responsible for problems caused by material you supply, including unlicensed samples or corrupted or incomplete session files.
Ending the project
Either of us can end the project by giving notice in writing. We’ll agree the notice period with you in writing based on what’s booked and what stage we’re in. Up to the end date, you pay for the work completed and any committed costs we can’t unwind.
When the account is settled, we’ll hand over what’s been completed to date in the formats we have at that point, along with any notes needed to pick up later. If we end the project because invoices are overdue or files/approvals are not provided, we’ll still make a clean handover once payment for work done is received.
