IMPORTANT: Audio File Storage

In this new age of digital recording, audio file and session file storage has become a major issue for studios and clients. Due to this, Cue will not guarantee the safe storage of these files.

It is necessary for every client to provide for digital audio file storage. There are several ways to do this: 1. Purchase a hard drive from Cue and request that we transfer your audio and session files to your new drive. 2. Bring your own Mac and Cue studio compatible drive to the session and request for such audio and file transfer(s). 3. Purchase blank compact discs from Cue and request such files be transferred to them.

We advise you to then take your hard drives or compact discs with you upon departure from the studio. You may leave the above items at Cue at your own risk and peril if you choose to do so. Failure to make the above arrangements will result in your audio and session files being unavailable for use. Cue assumes no responsibility and makes no representations either express or implied regarding safety and replacement of any hard drives, master or other audio files, or any type of recordings.

Audio and session file transfer time is billable at normal studio rates.

Cash, checks, money orders, wire transfers and the below credit cards are accepted.

Payment/Booking Policies

A deposit will be required to confirm all studio bookings. Such deposit shall be equal to 50%
of the cost of the total time booked. Deposit must be received ten days prior to session. "Cue"
reserves the right to waive such deposit requirement in its unfettered discretion. Studio bookings
for which no deposit has been received by "Cue" shall be subject to change or cancellation
should management so decide, without notice to client.

Notice of a client's intent to cancel a session must be received by "Cue" no later than
72 hours (3 days) before such session. If notice is not received by "Cue", the client shall
be liable for the cost of one half of the time booked. Client's deposit as stated above may
be applied by "Cue" in partial satisfaction of such liability. Sessions cancelled the same day
of the scheduled session will be liable for the total cost of the booked time.

Half the amount of unused time booked will be charged to the client irrespective of client's
failure to arrive for a session on time or in the event that the client must leave the session
early, or if the session is completed before the booked time has expired.

Payment in full for materials and fees is due and payable immediately following each
session. "Cue" reserves the right to make other financial arrangements with its clients.
Client(s) will pay all Cue's attorney's fees associated with financial collection processes
for services rendered by Cue or materials purchased.

No recording tapes in "Cue's" possession shall be released to clients until all open accounts
have been settled and all checks tendered as payment have cleared "Cue's" account.

Clients assume all risks associated with storing, on or off the premises of Cue Recording, Ltd.,
or Cue's use of, any and all sound recordings, video recordings, digital data in any
storage format including but not limited to audio, video, smpte, midi, or other file types, or equipment
of any kind or nature and shall hold "Cue" harmless from any and all damage that might
occur to said articles for any reason. In any event, "Cue's" liability shall be limited to
the replacement cost of an unrecorded tape of comparable value. "Cue"'s liability with
respect to "downtime" of any and all studio sessions as a result from equipment malfunction
or availability, personnel, hired musicians, acts of nature or public utility companies, etc., shall
be limited solely to the studio time of such booked session; and client(s) agree to hold
"Cue" harmless from any and all damages from such "downtime".

"Cue" makes no warranties either express or implied other than those contained herein.
"Cue" shall not be liable for unforeseen of consequential damages of any kind. Should "Cue"
be unable to conduct a booked session for any reason, then "Cue" warrants that it shall
re-book such canceled booking at another time that is mutually available to "Cue" and the client.
