BOOKING AND PAYMENT
1. Payment for tape and time is due at the end of each session, unless a different arrangement is agreed to prior to the start of that days session. We accept cash and/or checks ONLY. That's how we keep the prices down!
2. Payment for the session begins when the session was booked to start, not when you arrive, unless the engineer is late. In the event the engineer is late, you will be refunded double the late time from your bill. (in other words if the engineer is 15 minutes late, the first 30 minutes of the session is on us!) Usually engineers are at the studio 15 minutes prior starting time.
3. You're responsible for the time you booked. If you book a 6 hour session, and it only requires 4 hours. You pay for the full session. This is at the discretion of the engineer and dependant upon our schedule. We do accept open ended bookings during evening hours. (i.e. last session of the day)
4. For new clients, a deposit may be required to secure your date. Clients will be handled on a case by case basis, at the discretion of the owner. You can cancel without penalty up to 7 days before the session, less than 7 days and you'll lose your deposit, unless we can find someone to take the time. Allowances are made for acts of God and medical emergencies, not for lack of rehearsal time or money. We're not unreasonable, but we need you to take studio time commitments seriously.
5. No master tapes in any form (digital, cassette, or reel) will be released and no future sessions will be booked unless payment is received in full or prior arrangements for payment are made. All mixes, CD-Rs, DATs and master tapes shall remain the property of 7A West until all invoices are paid in full by the client.
