09 Your responsibilities

You agree that:

1. the information you give us is accurate, and you will let us know if it changes;
2. any lyrics, recordings, samples or other material you bring to a session are yours or are properly cleared, and do not infringe anyone else's rights;
3. you are responsible for clearing any samples you ask us to use, unless we agree in writing to handle clearance;
4. you will treat our team, other artists and guests with respect; and
5. you will follow the Artist Confidentiality Agreement in Part B.

If a claim is made against us because material you supplied infringed someone else's rights, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim.

10 Studio rules and dry hire

1. Guests are welcome only with prior approval, and you are responsible for everyone you bring to the studio.
2. Illegal drugs, weapons and intoxication are not permitted on the premises. We may end a session without refund if this rule is broken or if anyone's safety is at risk.
3. You are responsible for any damage to the studio, equipment or furniture caused by you or your guests, other than normal wear and tear.
4. For dry hire, you must leave the studio in the condition you found it, finish on time, and only allow engineers or producers we have approved to operate the equipment. Overtime is charged at our standard hourly rate.
5. Personal belongings are left at your own risk.

11 Content and marketing

We often film and photograph sessions for our social media and marketing. You agree that we may use your name, image, voice and likeness from sessions, along with released music and credits, to promote our business and your work.

We will never post your unreleased music without your consent. If you would prefer not to appear in our content, tell us in writing before your session and we will respect that.

12 Session files, stems and storage

Who owns the files. Project files, session files and wet stems (the processed and mixed multitrack files we create) remain our property and are not delivered as part of our services, unless a written agreement says otherwise. What you receive is the final mixed and mastered recording, which you own under clause A8(b).

How long we keep them. We store session files at our discretion and are not obliged to keep them for any set period. Please keep your own copies of everything we deliver to you, as we cannot guarantee files will be available to supply again later. We take reasonable care with stored files, but we are not responsible for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as hardware failure or third-party service outages.

13 Liability

To the extent the law allows, and subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law:

1. our total liability to you for any service is limited to supplying that service again or refunding the amount you paid for it;
2. we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost income, opportunities or reputation; and
3. we are not responsible for the decisions, actions or payments of third parties, including labels, distributors, streaming platforms, collecting societies and payment providers.

14 Suspension and ending our relationship

We may suspend or end your services, subscription or studio access, with notice where reasonable, if you breach these Terms, fail to pay amounts owing, behave in a threatening or abusive way, or put our team, artists or reputation at risk. Any amounts owing up to that point remain payable.

Clauses about payment, intellectual property, confidentiality (Part B), liability and disputes continue to apply after our relationship ends.

15 Disputes and general terms

1. Talk to us first. If you have a concern, please email us. We will try to resolve it with you within 14 days. If it can't be resolved, either party may refer it to mediation before going to court, except where urgent court orders are needed.
2. Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you agree to the jurisdiction of its courts.
3. Privacy. We handle personal information in line with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
4. No waiver. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we keep the right to enforce it later.
5. Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
6. Contact. Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected].

B1 About this agreement

This Part B sets out how confidential information is protected, both yours and ours. It applies to everyone bound by these Terms, and to anyone who comes into the studio with you, such as a featured artist, engineer, manager or guest. You agree to make sure they follow it.

B2 What counts as Confidential Information

Confidential Information means any information you see, hear or receive through your dealings with us that is not already public, whether it is shared verbally, in writing, digitally, in the studio or online. It includes:

1. Unreleased music and session material, including beats, instrumentals, stems, project files, demos, reference tracks, vocal takes, mixes, masters and sample sources, whether they belong to you, to us or to another artist.
2. Other artists' work and details, including anything you hear or see from another of our artists or clients, their release plans, collaborations, contact details and personal information.
3. Our methods and know-how, including production techniques, workflows, templates, presets, sound kits, plugin chains, artist development frameworks, brand audits, content strategies, training material and release or campaign plans.
4. Commercial information, including pricing not published on our website, subscription terms, contracts, offers, revenue, client and contact lists, label, publisher, distributor and industry contacts, and negotiations.
5. The studio itself, including the layout, equipment, security arrangements, access codes and anything you observe or record while on the premises at Moorebank.
6. Anything we mark or tell you is confidential, or that a reasonable person in the music industry would understand to be confidential.

Confidential Information does not include information that:

• is or becomes public through no fault of yours;
• you can show you already knew, lawfully, before you received it from us;
• you receive lawfully from someone else who was free to share it; or
• is your own original work, which remains yours to share subject to clause A8 and any separate agreement you have signed with us.

B3 Your obligations

You agree that you will:

1. keep all Confidential Information private and use it only for the purpose of working with us on your own music and career;
2. not share, post, sell, upload, leak, send or otherwise disclose Confidential Information to anyone, including on social media, streaming or file-sharing platforms, group chats or AI tools, without our written consent;
3. not copy, download, export, screen-record or remove any session files, stems, beats or project files unless we have delivered them to you for your use;
4. not use our methods, templates, frameworks or contacts to set up, assist or promote a competing service, or to approach our artists, clients, staff or contractors to take their business elsewhere;
5. take reasonable care to keep any files or documents we give you secure, such as using password-protected storage and not leaving devices unlocked in shared spaces;
6. not release, tease or preview any work that includes our beat, production or contribution until it has been cleared for release and any fees owing have been paid; and
7. tell us straight away if you become aware that Confidential Information has been leaked, lost or misused, and help us limit the damage.

Permitted disclosures. You may share Confidential Information with your own lawyer, accountant, manager or label representative where they genuinely need it to advise you, provided you tell them it is confidential and they agree to keep it that way. You may also disclose it where the law, a court or a regulator requires you to, but you must give us as much notice as you lawfully can so we have a chance to respond.
