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 A 50% deposit 7 days in advance of your session will guarantee the time slot you request. Without a deposit, if someone else wants the same time slot and offers a deposit, it will go to them. Deposits can be taken in person at the studio or online via Paypal.
BOOKING RATES Sessions are booked at the rates published by the studio (subject to change). Time will be billed in hourly increments with a 2 hour minimum. Sessions that run longer than the original scheduled time will be booked at the provided rate assuming the studio is available. Day sessions are booked at the rates provided by the studio (subject to change).
CANCELLATION FEE Cancellations forfeit their deposit.
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. Please contact if you are going to be late. Set-up time will be billed at regular studio rates. 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 World Record Studios 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, or Paypal. No media will be turned over to you until full payment is made for that day.
