Terms & Conditions
- Your recording session date/s will only be confirmed once we have received a completed booking form and a 20% deposit. Until then the date/s will remain available to other clients.
- Once your booking is confirmed we require seven days notice to change or cancel your date/s. Failure to do so will result in the retention of your deposit.
- The final balance must be paid at the end of the session. All works completed in the session/s will be withheld by the studio until the final balance is paid.
- In this age of digital recording, audio file and session file usage and storage have become major issues for studios and clients. Due to the unreliable nature of this digital world, DavAshMusic will not guarantee the safe use or storage of digital audio files. We strive to do our best with audio file manipulation and storage, but there are many things out of our control. For example there are often "bugs" in operating systems and attendant software; hardware components that suddenly become defective in hard drive power supplies and IC boards; glitches in the operations of complex computer functions, etc., that cause from time to time losses in data. Although such losses are infrequent, DavAshMusic accepts no liability for the usage or storage of any data or audio files.
It is necessary for every client to provide for digital audio file storage. There are several ways to do this:
1. Purchase a hard drive from DavAshMusic that audio and session files may be stored on.
2. Bring your own DavAshMusic compatible hard drive(s) to the session.
3. Purchase blank compact discs or DVDs from DavAshMusic for archiving any files that may have been originally stored/used on an in-house drive.
We strongly advise that you buy or provide a second hard drive for backing up all important audio files in the event the primary drive(s) in use should fail for any reason. This should be done throughout your studio session. This is similar to backing up any important data files in any business, typically on a daily or timed basis as many software programs automatically do, to hopefully be protected if anything were to happen to the primary storage or use of such data. Again we strongly advise you maintain a backup storage solution for all important files. DavAshMusic will not be responsible for any losses of data during use or during storage of any such files. We recommend you instruct the recording engineer to backup your data at close intervals throughout your session to your secondary back up solution such as a second hard drive.
We advise you to then take your hard drives, DVDs or compact discs with you upon departure from the studio. You may leave the above items at DavAshMusic at your own risk and peril if you choose to do so. Failure to make the above arrangements will result in your audio and session files being unavailable for use. DavAshMusic assumes no responsibility and makes no representations either express or implied regarding safety and replacement of any hard drives, master or other audio files, or any type of recordings.
Audio and session file transfer time is billable at normal studio rates.
