The Accompanist Vocal Reels Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions for Vocal Reel Service by The Accompanist

1. Cancellation Policy: In adherence to our commitment to maintain efficiency and fairness within our vocal reels service, we have established the following cancellation policy:  Clients are entitled to one cancellation free of charge. However, subsequent cancellations will necessitate a new deposit to be paid in advance of securing any future bookings.  It is imperative to note that this cancellation policy is rendered void if a client cancels within 2 days of their scheduled session without having provided the required backing tracks or other necessary materials. In such instances, the client will be required to remit a new deposit, in addition to the session fee, upfront within 24 hours of receipt of an invoice to secure the booking.  We believe that this policy is essential to strike a balance between accommodating unforeseen circumstances and maintaining fairness for all our clients. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

2. Media Usage: The Accompanist vocal reels reserves the right to use clips from your reel in online advertising unless otherwise specified in a written agreement by the client. The client hereby grants The Accompanist vocal reels a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to utilize such clips for promotional purposes.

3. Backing Tracks: Any request for recording or sourcing of backing tracks will incur additional charges, which will be communicated and agreed upon in a formal contract prior to the commencement of the service. Such charges shall be invoiced separately and shall be due and payable within the agreed-upon timeframe.

4. Song Limitation: Clients are limited to selecting up to five 1-minute length song cuts per vocal reel. This limitation is agreed upon to ensure the efficient utilization of resources and to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the final product.

5. Listening, Assessment, and Order of Songs: Clients are required to listen back to and assess their audio and video within the 3-hour session. The client must also choose the take they will use during the session and determine the order of songs in their vocal reel before the end of the session. Failure to do so will result in an additional charge for sending over the additional audio/video material after the session, as agreed upon in the initial contract. This requirement ensures timely completion of the vocal reel and facilitates efficient post-production processes.

6. Revision Policy: After the vocal reel has been delivered to the client, one revision (reordering videos, changing audio, etc.) is allowed free of charge. Any subsequent revisions will incur an editing charge of £72 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments. This provision is agreed upon to delineate the scope of revisions and to ensure fair compensation for additional work beyond the initial agreement.

7. Modification of Terms and Conditions: The Accompanist vocal reels reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time. Any changes will be communicated to clients in writing and will be effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the vocal reel service after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms and conditions. This clause is included to provide notice to the parties of the possibility of future modifications to the agreement.

8. Confidentiality: The parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information disclosed during the provision of services under this agreement.
