At HighPoint Recording, we
ascribe to the highest standards of business integrity. It is our desire that every aspect of your
project go smoothly from scheduling sessions to billing/payment. We’ve found that the following guidelines
help ensure that for everyone…
We require full payment of
all incurred charges before final mixes, rough mix CD’s/cassettes, session
files, etc., are released.
If you are late for a
scheduled session, a 15-minute grace period is allowed for unavoidable
delays. Billing time during setup is
calculated from the time the engineer begins setting microphones.
There is a minimum charge of
one hour per session. Sessions will be
billed in fifteen-minute increments after the first hour. Our studio time is in high demand. Therefore, sessions canceled with less than
24 hours notice will be billed a 1-hour minimum or half the time of the session
booked.
The final mix of your
product is very much subject to your personal taste & preference. Therefore, mix changes are the
responsibility of the artist/producer.
We suggest that you budget time to take material out of the studio into
environments familiar to you and include studio time for changes in the mix to
suit your personal taste.
Your session will be
archived on DVD-r, or CD-r storage (Pro Tools), or, ADAT tape (ADAT). Although these systems are very reliable,
any data transfer of files is subject to an extremely rare error. We want to inform you of this and state that
HighPoint Recording Studios cannot be held responsible for data transfer errors
beyond our control. We store many
session files and master tapes on our premises as a convenience for our
clients. Ultimately, you are
responsible for the care of your session files and masters. We cannot guarantee the condition of your
masters or session files over time.
We reserve the right to
refuse to record anything we deem to be explicit, indecent or otherwise
unbecoming of the standards of HighPoint Recording Studios.
Clients are responsible for
any and all damage/theft caused by musicians or entourage.
HighPoint recording Studios
does not allow smoking of any substance on its premises.
A $20.00 service charge is
assessed for any returned check.
If lack of payment would necessitate
legal action, you as the customer will be responsible for all incurred legal
expenses and expenses in pursuant to collections of any and all outstanding
moneys owed to or incurred by HighPoint Recording Studios.
Property will be subject to
liens per materials and/or labor for all un-collectible moneys owed HighPoint
Recording Studios per unpaid balances.
HighPoint Recording Studios
will maintain all legal rights to retrieve any and all materials in pursuant of
any outstanding balance moneys owed.
Masters left with unpaid
balance will be disposed of without notice after six months.
