Studio Session Terms
What you agree to each time you book studio time.
Draft 1. Not yet reviewed by a lawyer and not in force. [AUREUM ENTITY] is filled in once the company is registered. Items marked [CONFIRM] are defaults waiting on the studio.
Parties
These terms are between [AUREUM ENTITY] ("AUREUM") and the account holder making the booking ("you").
Access
Booking is open only to accounts AUREUM has approved. Approval can be withdrawn at any time for conduct that breaks these terms.
Rate
Studio time is billed at the hourly rate shown on your account when you book, in CAD plus HST, with a two-hour minimum. The rate includes an AUREUM recording engineer. Mixing, mastering and other services are quoted separately.
Deposit
A deposit of 50% of the booking total is charged when you book. Your card is saved securely by our payment processor, Stripe, for the remaining balance.
Balance
The balance is charged to your saved card when the session ends. If your bank declines the charge or asks you to approve it, you will get a link to pay. You agree to pay within 3 days. [CONFIRM]
Overtime
Time past your booked end is billed in 30-minute blocks at the same rate, if the room is free. The clock starts at your booked start time, whether or not you have arrived. [CONFIRM]
