•Requests for bounces/work mixes (pre-final, pre-mix) will be at producers discretion. Any “work in progress” or bounces that are not considered “Revision Bounces” will count towards revision limit. This excludes any “pre-final” bounces that may be needed to track additional parts (no drums mix, instrumental, etc).

•Final production payment is due & must be paid when the project is ready to be sent to mix but before it is sent to mix. If Producer is mixing & mastering sound recording, final payment is due when final Master recording is ready to be delivered.

Any additional versions & bounces may be subject to additional fees. Additionally, any other derivative version where additional production is needed may be charged a production fee.

•Clients will be given a downloadable link of the final masters & alternative mixes at final payment. All other deliverables will be delivered in a timely manner via a non-downloadable link. With final payment comes the transfer of the master license to client. Client may request finals for up to 6 months from completion date. If requested after 6 months, a fee may be applied to retrieve those files.

•Clients assumes full responsibility of delivered files. Producer may or may not be able to produce & provide deliverables if requested at a later date.

•Once production of the song has been approved (by both producer & artist/representative/label) to send to mix stage using Producer or hired Mix Engineer, any production changes from that point on may result in additional production & mix fees.

•At any time either party can stop production of the sound recording. If production is stopped prior to 20 calendar days in or after 1st revision is delivered, client will be responsible for a kill fee of half the production rate. If invoked after 20 calendar days or after work has started on 2nd revision, client is responsible for full payment. If this is ever invoked the Master License for sound recording will stay under the control of the producer & the producer is no longer obligated to work on project or provide any more deliverables (alt mixes, mixes, session files).
