TERMS

Apple Beam studios are big on customer care! We want to make sure your recording experience is stress free and highly productive. Please read through these terms and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Apple Beam shall make the Studio and/or 3rd party producers available to the Client for the Period of the booking. Every effort will be made by Apple Beam Studios 3rd party producers to complete the Clients work on time and to a standard acceptable to the Client, however Apple Beam does not accept liability for, and will not be liable for damages where projects run over a scheduled time.

Whilst you will pay a booking deposit to Apple Beam Studios and liaise with us during your booking process, it’s important you understand we do not employ any producer direct and rely on a small team of 3rd party (or outsourced) producers to work with our clients.

The producers we refer our clients to are self employed and as such we act as an agency, referring the client to the producer. We take special care to source producers that meet our recording, and customer care standards. Although you will be working with a producer who is not in any way directly affiliated to, or working for Apple Beam, we pride ourselves on providing great customer care throughout your recording process. We trust the producers we use and expect them to represent Apple Beam Studios professionally at all times.

Apple Beam can not be held liable under any circumstances for the actions of any third party producers, or for the consequences of any client choosing to work with a 3rd party producer.

Our service is intended to make it easier for musicians and producers to work together in a responsible manor, and although we routinely take a deposit for bookings, that money is held for our 3rd party producer, and is not meant in any way to give the impression that you are paying Apple Beam for your session.

Apple Beam is not responsible for their 3rd party producers studio, equipment, licence's, insurances, their studio complex or manor in which they carry out their work. We take all reasonable steps to ensure our 3rd party producers are insured and have a high level of competency, but advice that you make your own judgment when booking, and working with one of our 3rd party producers. We shall not be liable under any circumstances for the actions of any member or producer.

THE CLIENT UPON BOOKING AGREES TO: - Ensure the suitability of the studio for the Client's purpose including all equipment, parking times, rest areas etc.

Refrain from drinking alcohol whilst in a session unless agreed to by the producer(s).

THE FEES - The Client shall pay the whole of the fees, minus deposit already paid, upon completion of the recording and once the recording has been burned to CD media. If payment is not made then, Apple Beam Studios, along with any 3rd party producers can withhold the recorded material until payment has been made in full. Interest will be charged at 5% for late payments.

The Client acknowledges that the deposit is not refundable under any circumstances apart from if the Client wishes to cancel the session no later than one week (7 days) prior to recording.

The Client agrees that Apple Beam Studios offer no forms of return or money back policies. This is due to the nature of recorded digital media and the ease of duplication.

PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT - Apple Beam Studios can not be held responsible for any damages of any nature whilst on the premises of a producer we have referred you to. All 3rd party producers should have their own liability insurance and you should check with them first if you would like to see it.

INDEMNITY - The Client hereby agrees that Apple Beam Studios shall not be liable for any injury, loss, damage, costs and/or expenses suffered by the Client arising from:

The Client's making, use or exploitation of the Recordings

Any copyright issues with the Clients Recorded Material, including anything that constitutes a breach or infringement of any copyright or which shall be in any way illegal.

The indemnity shall extend to any amount paid on a lawyer's advice in respect of any such claim
