  – the client cancels the project after the first session.

New multitrack / additional multitrack sent for the revision process might be charged an additional fee quoted per project.

• §9.2 any editing, quantisation or tuning can only be done to certain extent. Excessive use may cause audible artifacts.

EOTPMUSIC Ltd reserves the right to discontinue a project if the revision process becomes unreasonable or unproductive.
This includes, but is not limited to: 

• Excessive Delays – when revision notes are not delivered within a reasonable timeframe.
• Contradictory Revisions – when new requests directly oppose or invalidate previous instructions.
• Experimentation Instead of Refinement – when feedback consistently disregards or undermines prior notes, turning the process into experimentation rather than finalising the mix.
• Unclear or Carelessly Written Feedback – when revision notes are unclear or prepared with little care for proper language, grammar, or objective audio production terminology, relying instead on vague, overly subjective, or purely personal expressions.
• Failure to Provide Required Materials – when necessary audio files, references, or information are not delivered in a timely manner, preventing progress.
• Unsuitable Source Material – when provided material is of such poor technical quality that professional results cannot reasonably be achieved, and the client refuses to re-supply.
• Unprofessional Communication – when communication becomes disrespectful, abusive, or otherwise unprofessional.

In the event of termination under this clause, no refunds will be issued. The latest version of the project will be provided in accordance with section §12. If that version falls within the scope of additional revisions that incur extra charges, an invoice for those revisions will be issued, and upon full payment, all mixes or masters completed to that point will be provided.

• §5.6 The client must make sure that all of their files are correct before uploading.  For mixing service – if the session contains midi instruments, they must be exported as audio files – midi files will not be accepted (unless the client will make a request for additional production on the project).

§6 EOTPMUSIC Ltd reserves the right to reject the delivered vocal / instrumental recordings if:

• §6.1 they are of unacceptably low quality.

• §8.2 For mixing – revisions are minor adjustments to the levels and effects used in the mix. New multitrack / additional multitrack sent for the revision process might be charged an additional fee quoted per project.

• §9.2 any editing, quantisation or tuning can only be done to certain extent. Excessive use may cause audible artifacts.
• §9.3 post-production service does not include fixing of the performances but rather overall enhancements that suit the song.

• §10.1 For all services, the client will be able to hear the production, final mix and / or master and all revisions on a private link with an audio player.  The client will receive all applicable files to download (details in §11) after the final production / mix and / or master has been accepted.
  
• §10.2 The client will receive an invoice for chosen services before any work is done – for Mixing and / or Mastering service full payment must be made upfront.

For Studio Recording service, full hourly fee must be paid within 24 hours after the session (unless agreed otherwise by both parties) and before the delivery of the recorded files.

Subsequent revisions will be available at additional charge in accordance with the current pricing available at  https://eotpmusic.com/services/.

§11 Right to terminate:

EOTPMUSIC Ltd reserves the right to discontinue a project if the revision process becomes unreasonable or unproductive.
This includes, but is not limited to: 

• Excessive Delays – when revision notes are not delivered within a reasonable timeframe.
• Contradictory Revisions – when new requests directly oppose or invalidate previous instructions.
• Experimentation Instead of Refinement – when feedback consistently disregards or undermines prior notes, turning the process into experimentation rather than finalising the mix.
• Unclear or Carelessly Written Feedback – when revision notes are unclear or prepared with little care for proper language, grammar, or objective audio production terminology, relying instead on vague, overly subjective, or purely personal expressions.
• Failure to Provide Required Materials – when necessary audio files, references, or information are not delivered in a timely manner, preventing progress.
• Unsuitable Source Material – when provided material is of such poor technical quality that professional results cannot reasonably be achieved, and the client refuses to re-supply.
• Unprofessional Communication – when communication becomes disrespectful, abusive, or otherwise unprofessional.

In the event of termination under this clause, no refunds will be issued. The latest version of the project will be provided in accordance with section §12. If that version falls within the scope of additional revisions that incur extra charges, an invoice for those revisions will be issued, and upon full payment, all mixes or masters completed to that point will be provided.

§12 File delivery:

• §12.1 If the client only applies for Mixing service, they will receive the following mix files:
  – Full mix  (.WAV 24bit)
  – Instrumental mix (.WAV 24bit)
  – Backing track mix  (.WAV 24bit)
  If requested – an “Explicit” and “Clean” versions of the mix shall also be delivered (.WAV 24bit) free of charge.  Any other additional mix versions shall be a subject to additional charge in accordance with the current pricing available at  https://eotpmusic.com/services/.

§13 For mixing service, the client WILL NOT  receive mixed stems to assemble the mix from. Due to the use of multiple shared effects, shared parallel compression, analogue summing and complex mix bus processing it is impossible to assemble the same mix from mixed stems exported separately.

§14 It is the client’s responsibility to check all files provided by EOTPMUSIC Ltd, and to approve them in writing prior to manufacture, replication, duplication or distribution. Any additional work requested after final approval has been given by the client will be considered as a new job and will be charged accordingly.

§15 The client accepts responsibility for storage and archiving of all mixes, masters & any other files as well as the source materials once a project has been approved and files have been delivered. EOTPMUSIC Ltd will endeavour to store backup of all sessions, final mixes and masters, but does not provide a guaranteed archival service. 

§16 Consultations of any nature will be charged after the session. Should the consultation consist of only one session, it must be paid upfront. The cost of consultation will be specified individually per client.

This audio player will not include a download option.
