The following policies insure that all sessions are conducted in the most professional manner while providing our client a creative and comfortable environment.

 

 

DEPOSIT/REQUESTING TIME SLOT

Session slots are booked according to Studio availability. A confirmed session slot between client and studio is considered a “booked session” and require a twenty-four (24) hour notification of time change or cancellation.

 

BOOKING RATES

Sessions are booked and billed by the hour and per engineer at a $35 rate (subject to change) unless other rates have been negotiated. In the event that a session runs longer than the original scheduled time, exceeding time will be booked at an additional rate in half hour increments.

 

STUDIO TOURS

It is recommended that new clients tour the studio prior to their first session. During this time we can discuss the parameters of your session and make a plan to ensure everything runs smoothly.

 

START/END AND SESSION TIMES

The session clock begins at the scheduled time that both parties agree upon. If you arrive early and the studio can accommodate an early start, then the session clock will begin at that time. If you are late for any reason, you will be charged from the scheduled session start time, with no exceptions. Please call if you are going to be late! Set up time will be billed at regular studio rates unless other arrangements are agreed to. This includes load-in and instrument setup, microphone placement, level setting, media transfer, etc.

 

STUDIO DOWNTIME

Unforeseen problems can happen. If session downtime occurs at the fault of the studios equipment, that time will not be billed. The studios liability shall be limited strictly to the studio time of the booked session and clients agree to hold Zamar Muisc Ministries harmless from any damages from such downtime.

 

PAYMENT

You are responsible for all monies due to the studio and shall make payment to the studio with cash, credit card, previously approved check, money order or QuickPay. No media will be released to client until full payment is made for booked session. Receipt of recording media from Studio to Client is acknowledged between both parties that the quality of all services rendered by Zamar Music Ministries is satisfactory to Client and shall release Zamar Music Ministries from any and all liability regarding said recording media and services rendered.

 

SESSION MEDIA

Session media will only be released when full payment for the session is received. Once session media has been turned over to the client ZamarMusic Ministries is no longer expected to maintain a backup copy of the session unless other arrangements have been made in writing. Session materials left beyond 6 (six) months of issued contract date due to nonpayment become the property of Zamar Music Ministries.

All data files and MIDI files recorded on premises are property of Zamar Music Ministries and are released at Studio’s discretion.
