3. SERVICES
3.1 Scope. We provide audio production services, which may include: podcast recording, pre-production, editing, mixing, and mastering; audiobook editing, mastering, and preparation to distributor specification; audio restoration and noise remediation; sound design and ambient layers; original music composition and production; licensing of Library Tracks; show notes; publishing and posting; and audio consulting.
3.2 Order controls. The specific Services, Deliverables, fees, and Service Level for any engagement are set out in the applicable Order. Where an Order conflicts with these Terms, the Order controls as to that engagement only.
3.3 No obligation to accept. We may decline any Order, project, or Client Material in our sole discretion.
3.4 Audio production Services may include, subject to Service Level and the Order: equalization, dynamic balancing, and background noise reduction; leveling to broadcast standards; removal of dead space at the beginning and end of a recording; mixing of supplied intro and outro assets; removal of false starts, filler words, and extraneous sounds; and publishing to your hosting platform where credentials are supplied.
3.5 Premium Service Level additionally includes, where the Order expressly designates it: mixing of supplied or licensed music and sound effects into specified portions of the recording, and the additional production elements stated in the Order.
3.6 Audiobook Services. Where the Order is for audiobook production, we will prepare Deliverables to the technical specification of the distributor identified in the Order. You are responsible for identifying the correct distributor and specification before work begins, for supplying the manuscript and any pronunciation guidance, and for holding all rights in the underlying work and the narration. We do not warrant acceptance of any Deliverable by any distributor, retailer, or platform, whose review standards and decisions are outside our control. Where a distributor rejects a Deliverable for a technical reason attributable to us, we will remediate at no charge. Rejection for any other reason, including content, rights, or narration quality, is billable remediation.
3.7 Audio restoration. Restoration outcomes depend on the condition of the source recording. We will apply commercially reasonable technique but do not warrant any particular level of improvement, and some defects are not recoverable.
3.8 Delivery platform. We will designate a file-sharing platform for each engagement and provide access instructions. We may change the platform at any time on notice to you.
3.9 Subcontractors. We may engage employees, independent contractors, and subcontractors to perform any portion of the Services. We remain responsible for their performance and will bind them to confidentiality obligations no less protective than those in Section 16 and to written assignment of all rights in their contributions to us.
4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1 You will complete our intake form, accept these Terms, and pay in accordance with Section 7.
4.2 You will supply all Client Materials in complete, uncorrupted, and usable format through the designated delivery platform. We are not obligated to begin work until all Client Materials for a given project have been received in usable form.
4.3 You will provide clear written instructions describing the intended episode or project layout, production expectations, and any special requirements, through the designated platform.
4.4 You will notify us in advance if you require expedited turnaround. Expedited delivery is subject to our capacity and incurs the fee in Section 8.2.
4.5 You will maintain your own backup copies of all Client Materials. We are not a backup or archival service.
4.6 You will maintain a current email address and a valid payment method with us.
4.7 You are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and clearance of all Client Materials, and for ensuring your hosting or distribution platform is configured to receive Deliverables.
4.8 Identification. You will provide and keep current: your exact legal name as registered with your state of formation; your entity type and state of formation; your principal business address; and the name, email address, and telephone number of an individual authorized to bind you. If you are a sole proprietor, you will provide your legal name and address. You will notify us in writing within ten (10) Business Days of any change to this information. Providing false or materially incomplete identification is a material breach of these Terms.
4.9 Credentials. Where you supply platform, hosting, or account credentials, you will provide the minimum level of access necessary for us to perform the Services, and you represent that you are authorized to grant that access. We will use credentials solely to perform the Services. You are responsible for revoking access and rotating credentials upon completion or termination of the engagement. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to do so.
5. TURNAROUND AND REVISIONS
5.1 Standard turnaround. Unless the Order states otherwise, and measured from our receipt of all Client Materials in usable form, standard turnaround for podcast and short-form audio is two (2) Business Days. Audiobooks, original music, restoration, and long-form projects are quoted individually and the turnaround stated in the Order controls.
5.2 Turnaround is an estimate. Turnaround periods are good-faith estimates and are not conditions of this agreement. Time is not of the essence with respect to turnaround periods. Time is of the essence with respect to all payment obligations under Sections 7, 8, and 9. Turnaround does not run during any period of suspension under Section 10, during any dispute regarding Client Materials, or where Client Materials are incomplete, corrupted, or unusable.
5.3 Complex projects. Projects involving unusual length, complexity, or scope may require longer turnaround, which we will communicate upon receipt of materials.
5.4 Review and revisions. We will deliver each Deliverable for your review through the designated platform. You have fourteen (14) calendar days from delivery to request one (1) round of minor revisions at no additional charge. A minor revision means a small modification to the Deliverable, such as an additional edit, correction, or trim. Revisions requested after fourteen (14) calendar days, revisions beyond the first round, and any revision that materially changes scope, direction, length, or creative approach constitute additional Services billable at our then-current rates.
5.5 Original Music revisions. Original Music includes one (1) round of revision to arrangement, instrumentation, or length within fourteen (14) calendar days of delivery. A change of musical direction, key, tempo, or genre after approval of a demo or first delivery is a new commission, not a revision.
5.6 Deemed acceptance. If you do not request revisions within fourteen (14) calendar days, the Deliverable is deemed accepted. Your publication, broadcast, or distribution of a Deliverable also constitutes acceptance of that Deliverable. Acceptance under this Section does not authorize any use prohibited by Section 11, does not waive or satisfy the condition precedent in Section 11.2, and does not cure any breach of Section 11.2A or 11.11. Evaluation of a Review Copy is not acceptance of a Final Master.
6. FEES
6.1 Fees. Fees are as stated in the applicable Order, in the Site’s online store, or in our published fee schedule in effect on the date the Order is submitted. We may amend the fee schedule at any time, but changes do not affect Orders already submitted.
6.2 Pricing basis. Unless stated otherwise, published package pricing is based on raw audio of sixty (60) minutes or less. Additional runtime is billed under Section 8.1.
6.3 Taxes. Fees exclude all taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on our net income.
7. PAYMENT
7.1 Timing. Payment in full is due at the time the Order is placed, unless we have agreed in writing to extend invoiced terms. Where invoiced terms have been extended in writing, payment is due within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date. Where these provisions conflict, the written invoiced terms control for that engagement only.
7.2 New Clients and deposits. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, a Client that has not previously completed an engagement with us and paid in full must prepay one hundred percent (100%) of the Order before we commence work. For ongoing, retainer, or multi-phase engagements, including audiobook and multi-episode projects, we may require a deposit of fifty percent (50%) of the estimated total before commencing work, with the balance due on delivery. Deposits and prepayments are non-refundable except to the extent they exceed Services performed and costs committed as of the date of termination.
7.3 No work before payment. We are not obligated to begin, continue, or deliver any Services until payment due under Section 7.1 or 7.2 has been received as Cleared Funds.
7.4 No offset. All amounts are payable in full, in U.S. dollars, without deduction, set-off, counterclaim, or withholding of any kind.
7.5 Payment authorization. You authorize us to charge the payment method on file for all amounts due under these Terms, including fees, additional fees, rush fees, taxes, interest, and late charges, and to retain that payment method for recurring or subsequent charges.
7.6 Application of payments. Payments apply first to accrued interest and fees, then to the oldest outstanding invoice, regardless of any contrary designation by you.
7.7 Guarantee and credit conditions. For any Order exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or for any Client with a balance more than thirty (30) days overdue, we may require, as a condition of commencing or continuing work: a personal guarantee from a principal, owner, or officer; prepayment in full; or such other assurance of payment as we reasonably require. Our failure to require any such assurance on one occasion does not waive our right to require it on another.
7.8 Ongoing series. For podcast series, multi-episode engagements, and other recurring work, each episode or installment is a separate Order, billed and payable individually. We will not commence work on any episode while payment for a prior episode remains outstanding. We may require prepayment for an agreed block of episodes as a condition of continuing a series.
7.9 Milestone billing. Audiobook, original music, and other long-form or multi-phase projects are billed in milestones stated in the Order. Where the Order does not state milestones, the default is fifty percent (50%) on commencement, twenty-five percent (25%) on delivery of the first Review Copy, and twenty-five percent (25%) before release of Final Masters. Final Masters and any distributor-specification files are released only upon receipt of the final payment as Cleared Funds.
8. ADDITIONAL FEES
8.1 Extended runtime. Where raw audio submitted for a single Deliverable exceeds sixty (60) minutes, the following additional fees apply: Raw runtimeAdditional feeOver 60 minutes, up to 75 minutes$30Over 75 minutes, up to 90 minutes$60Over 90 minutes, up to 120 minutes$90
Where raw audio exceeds one hundred twenty (120) minutes, we will quote separately before commencing work. Audiobook projects are quoted by finished hour and are not subject to this table.
8.2 Rush fee. Where you request delivery sooner than the standard turnaround in Section 5.1, a rush fee of seventy-five dollars ($75) applies per request. Rush requests are subject to our capacity and are not guaranteed.
8.3 Additional revisions. Billable at our then-current rates as provided in Sections 5.4 and 5.5.
8.4 Third-party assets. Where third-party music, sound effects, samples, plugins, or other licensed materials are required, we will notify you of the cost in writing and obtain your written approval before incurring it. Approved costs are billed at cost plus fifteen percent (15%) unless the Order states otherwise. We will not incur third-party costs without your prior written approval.
8.5 Unusable materials. Where Client Materials are corrupted, incomplete, or require substantial repair, remediation, or re-synchronization before production can begin, we will notify you and quote the additional work before proceeding.
8.6 Distributor re-submission. Remediation of a Deliverable rejected by a distributor for a reason not attributable to us, as described in Section 3.6, is billable at our then-current rates.
8.7 Archive retrieval. Where you request retrieval of Client Materials or Deliverables after the ninety (90) day retention period in Section 10.6, and we are able to retrieve them, a retrieval fee of one hundred dollars ($100) per project applies. We do not warrant that any material remains retrievable after that period.
9. LATE PAYMENT
9.1 Interest. Any amount not paid when due accrues interest from the due date until paid in full at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per annum), compounded monthly, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. The parties expressly agree in writing to this rate of interest, to monthly compounding of that interest, and to each of the additional charges and fees set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 9.2, 9.3, 9.5, 10.3, and 13.2.
9.2 Late fee. In addition to interest, any invoice unpaid more than ten (10) calendar days past its due date incurs a late administration fee equal to the greater of fifty dollars ($50) or five percent (5%) of the overdue balance. The parties agree that this amount is a reasonable estimate of our administrative cost of managing delinquent accounts, that such costs are impracticable and extremely difficult to determine precisely, and that this fee is not a penalty.
9.3 Collection costs. You are responsible for all costs we reasonably incur in collecting overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, court costs, filing fees, service of process, and expert costs.
9.4 Acceleration. If any invoice becomes more than thirty (30) days overdue, all outstanding amounts across all open Orders become immediately due and payable without further notice or demand.
9.5 Returned payments. Any payment that is returned, reversed, declined, or otherwise not honored for any reason incurs a returned payment fee of thirty-five dollars ($35), in addition to interest under Section 9.1 and any late fee under Section 9.2. The underlying obligation remains due, and Section 10 applies from the original due date.
9.6 Collection. You consent to our contacting you regarding overdue amounts by email, telephone, and text message at the contact information you have provided, and you agree that such contact is made at your request and with your prior express consent. You agree that we may refer any delinquent account to a collection agency or to an attorney, and that we may sell, assign, or transfer any amount owed, together with all rights under these Terms including Sections 9, 11, 12, 13, and 22.7, to any third party without your consent. Any assignee succeeds to all of our rights and remedies.
9.7 No accord and satisfaction; no waiver. No payment of a lesser amount than the full balance due constitutes an accord and satisfaction, regardless of any endorsement, restriction, notation, legend, or accompanying communication, including any statement that the payment is tendered “in full satisfaction,” “payment in full,” or words of similar effect. We may accept, deposit, negotiate, or apply any such payment without prejudice to, and without waiver of, our right to recover the balance, and any such acceptance is expressly made under protest and with full reservation of rights. Our acceptance of any late or partial payment does not waive any right as to that or any subsequent default.
10. SUSPENSION AND STOP-WORK
10.1 Right to suspend. If any amount is overdue, we may, without liability and without terminating this agreement, immediately: suspend all Services; withhold all Deliverables including works in progress and completed masters; revoke your access to shared folders, portals, and delivery platforms; and decline to accept further submissions.
10.2 No relief. Suspension does not relieve you of any payment obligation. Interest continues to accrue during suspension.
10.3 Reinstatement. Services resume only after all outstanding amounts, including accrued interest and fees, are paid in full and received as Cleared Funds. We may require prepayment for all further work as a condition of reinstatement, and a reinstatement fee of one hundred dollars ($100) applies. Turnaround periods do not apply to reinstated work and restart from the date of reinstatement.
10.4 Termination for non-payment. If any amount remains unpaid sixty (60) days past its due date, we may terminate this agreement immediately upon written notice. Termination does not extinguish amounts owed, and Sections 11 and 12 continue to apply.
10.5 Termination for convenience. Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. You remain liable for all Services performed and all costs committed through the effective date of termination. Deposits and prepayments are non-refundable except to the extent they exceed Services performed and costs committed.
10.6 Client Materials after termination. We may retain Client Materials for ninety (90) days following termination or completion, after which we may delete them without further notice. Upon your written request made within that period, and provided your account is paid in full, we will return Client Materials in the format in which they were received. We have no obligation to retain, return, or reconstruct Client Materials for any account with an outstanding balance.
10.7 Cross-brand suspension. All trade names of Brain Food Productions, LLC, including Premium Audio Services, Brainfood Advertising, and Studio Park Design, are operated by a single legal entity. Amounts owed under any Order with any trade name are owed to the Company. We may exercise the rights in this Section 10 across all engagements with the Company regardless of the trade name under which any Order was placed.
11. OWNERSHIP, LICENSE, AND PAYMENT AS CONDITION PRECEDENT
11.1 Retention of rights. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to every Deliverable, master, edit, mix, session file, and derivative work produced under this agreement until payment in full for that Deliverable has been received as Cleared Funds.
11.2 Conditional license. Upon receipt of payment in full for a Deliverable as Cleared Funds, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable license to use, reproduce, publish, broadcast, distribute, display, and monetize that Deliverable. This license is expressly conditioned on payment. No license, express or implied, arises before that condition is satisfied. Music is licensed separately under Section 12.
11.2A Covenant against unauthorized exploitation. You covenant and agree that you will not publish, broadcast, stream, distribute, display, transmit, reproduce, monetize, or otherwise exploit any Deliverable, in whole or in part, before payment in full for that Deliverable has been received as Cleared Funds. You acknowledge that this covenant is a material inducement to our performance, that any breach constitutes knowing and willful infringement of our copyright, and that we would not perform the Services absent this covenant.
11.3 Unauthorized use. Any use, reproduction, publication, broadcast, distribution, display, or monetization of a Deliverable prior to payment in full as Cleared Funds is unlicensed and constitutes copyright infringement in addition to breach of this agreement. We reserve all remedies available under the Copyright Act and all other applicable law, including injunctive relief, actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney’s fees where available.
11.4 Takedown. Upon written demand following non-payment, you will remove all unpaid Deliverables from all platforms within seventy-two (72) hours and certify removal in writing. We may issue takedown notices to any hosting platform, distributor, retailer, or service provider without further notice to you, and you waive any claim arising from our doing so.
11.5 Session and project files. Raw session files, project files, stems, and working files are our property and are not included in any Deliverable unless the Order expressly provides otherwise and separate consideration is paid.
11.6 Your materials. You retain all ownership of Client Materials. You grant us a non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, and adapt Client Materials solely as necessary to perform the Services.
11.7 Our tools. We retain ownership of all pre-existing works, templates, methodologies, know-how, presets, processing chains, and sound libraries used in producing Deliverables. To the extent any is embedded in a Deliverable, the license in Section 11.2 extends to it in that embedded form only.
11.8 Portfolio rights. Notwithstanding Section 16, and unless the Order provides otherwise, we may display Deliverables that you have published or otherwise made public, and may identify you as a client, in our portfolio, case studies, website, and marketing materials. This permission does not extend to unpublished Deliverables, unreleased Client Materials, or any information you have designated in writing as confidential. You may withdraw this permission by written notice, effective prospectively.
11.9 No work made for hire. No Deliverable is or will be deemed a “work made for hire” as that term is defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the parties expressly disclaim any work-made-for-hire relationship. All rights in Deliverables vest in us upon creation. Your rights in any Deliverable arise solely from the license granted in Section 11.2, and only upon satisfaction of the condition precedent stated there. No assignment or transfer of copyright ownership occurs under these Terms, and any purported assignment is void unless made in a separate writing signed by an authorized representative of the Company.
11.10 Equitable relief. You acknowledge that a breach of Section 11.2A, 11.3, 11.4, 11.11, or 12 would cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy, and that we are entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to all other available remedies.
11.11 Review Copies. Unless the Order states otherwise, we deliver work for your review as a Review Copy sufficient for you to evaluate the work and request revisions. The Final Master is released only upon receipt of payment in full as Cleared Funds. Review Copies are licensed solely for your internal evaluation and may not be published, broadcast, streamed, distributed, submitted to any distributor, or used to train any machine learning, voice, or style model. Delivery of a Review Copy is not delivery of a Deliverable for purposes of Section 11.2 and does not satisfy the condition precedent stated there. Any exploitation of a Review Copy is unlicensed and Sections 11.3, 11.4, and 11.10 apply.
12. MUSIC, SOUND DESIGN, AND LICENSING
This Section governs all music and sound effects we supply. It applies instead of Section 11.2 as to those works.
12.1 We retain ownership. We retain all copyright in the musical composition and in the sound recording of all Original Music and Library Tracks. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any musical work.
12.2 Project licence. Upon receipt of payment in full as Cleared Funds, we grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to synchronize and use the Original Music or Library Track identified in your Order solely within the specific project for which it was commissioned or licensed, for the duration of that project’s distribution.
12.3 Scope limits. The licence in Section 12.2 does not include: use in any other project, episode series, campaign, or production; use as a brand theme, sonic logo, or across multiple properties; broadcast or theatrical advertising; resale, sublicensing, or redistribution as music; inclusion in any music library, sample pack, or stock catalogue; or any use separated from the project in which the music was delivered. Each additional use requires a separate written licence and additional fee.
12.4 Exclusivity. All licences are non-exclusive unless the Order expressly grants exclusivity and states the exclusivity period and fee. We may license Library Tracks to any number of other clients.
12.5 Stems and multitracks. Music stems and multitrack sessions are not included in any licence and remain our property. They may be licensed separately by written agreement.
12.6 Credit. Where practicable, you will credit Premium Audio Services for Original Music in project credits, show notes, or liner notes. Failure to credit is not a breach but is appreciated.
12.7 Performing rights. Where Original Music is registered with a performing rights organization, we retain the writer’s share. You are responsible for any cue sheet filings required by your distributor or broadcaster. We will supply metadata on request.
12.8 Content identification. Where a musical work is registered with a content identification system, we will cooperate in good faith to whitelist your properly licensed use. You will notify us of the channels and platforms on which the work will appear.
12.9 Unlicensed use. Any use of our music beyond the scope of Section 12.2, including use by a former client after the conclusion of a project, is unlicensed and constitutes copyright infringement. We monitor for such use and will pursue all available remedies, including those in Sections 11.3, 11.4, and 11.10.
12.10 Third-party music you supply. Where you supply music, you represent that you hold all necessary synchronization, master use, and mechanical rights. We do not clear third-party music and accept no responsibility for your failure to clear it. Section 15.2 indemnity applies.
12.11 Cross-default. Every licence granted under this Section is conditioned on your account with us remaining current. If any amount owed to us under any Order, with any trade name of the Company, remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days past its due date, all licences granted under this Section are suspended for the duration of the delinquency, and continued use during suspension is unlicensed for purposes of Section 12.9. Licences are reinstated upon payment in full as Cleared Funds.
13. CHARGEBACKS AND PAYMENT DISPUTES
13.1 Notice required. Before initiating any chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute with a card issuer, bank, or payment processor, you will notify us in writing and allow fifteen (15) Business Days to resolve the matter.
13.2 Chargebacks as breach. Initiating a chargeback for Services rendered, without first complying with Section 13.1, is a material breach. You remain liable for the disputed amount, all processor fees and penalties charged to us, and a chargeback administration fee of one hundred dollars ($100) per occurrence.
13.3 Automatic licence revocation. A chargeback automatically and immediately terminates any licence granted under Section 11.2 or Section 12.2 as to the affected Deliverable or musical work. Upon a chargeback, the condition precedent is deemed never to have been satisfied, the licence is void ab initio, and all use of that Deliverable or musical work from the date of first use forward is unlicensed for purposes of Section 11.3. Sections 11.4 and 12.9 apply.
13.4 Evidence. You agree that we may submit these Terms, your acceptance record, Order documents, delivery logs, communications, and platform records to any processor, issuer, arbitrator, or court as evidence.
14. INVOICE DISPUTES
14.1 You must notify us in writing of any good-faith dispute regarding an invoice within ten (10) Business Days of the invoice date, specifying the disputed line items and the basis for the dispute.
14.2 Absent timely notice, the invoice is deemed accepted, correct, and undisputed.
14.3 You will pay all undisputed amounts by the due date. Disputing a portion of an invoice does not excuse payment of the remainder, and interest accrues on unpaid undisputed amounts.
14.4 Account stated. We may issue periodic statements of account. Any statement not disputed in writing within ten (10) Business Days of issuance constitutes an account stated between the parties, and the balance shown is presumed correct and owing.
15. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITY
15.1 Representations. You represent and warrant that: (a) you have full authority to enter this agreement and the individual accepting these Terms is authorized to bind you; (b) you own or have validly licensed all rights in Client Materials, including music, recordings, manuscripts, and third-party content; (c) Client Materials do not infringe or misappropriate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, and do not violate any law; (d) you have obtained all necessary releases and consents from every person heard in Client Materials, including narrators, guests, and contributors; (e) any credentials you supply are yours to supply and your provision of them does not violate any third-party agreement; and (f) Client Materials contain no unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or harassing content.
15.2 Indemnity. You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claim, demand, action, damage, liability, loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) any breach of Section 15.1; (b) Client Materials; (c) your use, publication, or distribution of any Deliverable; (d) your breach of these Terms; or (e) your violation of any law or third-party right.
15.3 Control of defense. We may participate in the defense with counsel of our choosing at our expense. You will not settle any matter in a manner that imposes any obligation on us or admits liability on our part without our prior written consent.
16. CONFIDENTIALITY
16.1 Obligation. Each party will hold in confidence all non-public business, technical, financial, and creative information disclosed by the other in connection with the Services, including unreleased recordings and manuscripts, and will use it solely to perform or receive the Services. Each party will protect such information using at least the degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care.
16.2 Exclusions. These obligations do not apply to information that: is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party; was rightfully known to the receiving party without restriction before disclosure; is independently developed without use of the disclosing party’s information; or is rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

21. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
21.1 THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
21.2 We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site is free of harmful components.
21.3 No results guaranteed. We do not warrant or guarantee any particular outcome from audio production Services, including audience growth, engagement, downloads, rankings, sales, reviews, or return on investment. We do not warrant acceptance of any Deliverable by any distributor, retailer, platform, or store.
21.4 Third-party platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party hosting platforms, distributors, retailers, content identification systems, social networks, or service providers, or for their availability, policies, algorithms, or actions.
21.5 Cap. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500).
21.6 Exclusion. NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
21.7 Carve-outs. Sections 21.5 and 21.6 do not limit: your payment obligations; your indemnity obligations under Section 15; either party’s liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; or our remedies under Sections 11.3, 11.4, 11.10, 11.11, 12.9, and 12.11.
21.8 Data and backups. You are solely responsible for maintaining copies of Client Materials. We disclaim all liability for loss, corruption, or destruction of Client Materials.
21.9 Basis of the bargain. You acknowledge that the fees reflect this allocation of risk and that we would not provide the Services on these terms without it.
21.10 Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
22. GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, AND ATTORNEY’S FEES
22.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
22.2 Nevada nexus; place of performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that: the Company is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada; the Company maintains its business address in Clark County, Nevada; these Terms are deemed made and entered into in Clark County, Nevada; and all payments due under these Terms are due and payable to the Company in Clark County, Nevada, which is the place of performance of every payment obligation. The parties agree that Nevada bears a substantial relationship to the parties and this transaction, that they have a reasonable basis for selecting Nevada law, and that the application of Nevada law is neither unfair nor unreasonable.
22.3 Consent to jurisdiction. You irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, for all purposes, and waive any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens in those courts.
22.4 Forum. Any action you bring arising out of or relating to these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada. We may, at our sole election, bring any action to collect amounts owed, or to enforce Sections 11, 12, 13, or this Section 22, either in the courts of Clark County, Nevada or in any court of competent jurisdiction where you reside, maintain a place of business, or hold assets. This Section confers an option on the Company and an obligation on you; it is not mutual, and you waive any objection on that basis.
22.5 Service of process. You consent to service of process by any of the following methods, each of which constitutes valid and effective service: personal service; certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address you provided under Section 4.8; nationally recognized overnight courier to that address; or electronic mail to the email address you provided under Section 4.8, with service deemed complete on the next Business Day following transmission. You waive any objection to service effected by these methods and agree not to contest the sufficiency of such service. You will maintain a current address and email address with us, and service to the most recent address you provided is effective whether or not you actually receive it.
22.6 Enforcement of judgment. You agree that any judgment obtained against you in Clark County, Nevada may be domesticated, registered, and enforced in any jurisdiction where you reside, maintain a place of business, or hold assets, and you waive any objection to such domestication other than an objection that the judgment has been satisfied.
22.7 Attorney’s fees. In any action or proceeding to enforce or interpret these Terms, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including on appeal and in any collection, arbitration, garnishment, execution, domestication, or bankruptcy proceeding, in addition to any other relief awarded. This provision is intended to constitute a written agreement entitling the prevailing party to attorney’s fees for purposes of NRS 18.010(4).
22.8 Jury waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS.
22.9 Judicial reference where jury waiver is unenforceable. If a court determines that the jury waiver in Section 22.8 is unenforceable under the law applied to a particular dispute, then that dispute will instead be resolved by a general reference to a referee pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 638 or the analogous procedure of the forum state, the referee to try all issues and report a statement of decision. If neither the jury waiver nor judicial reference is enforceable, Section 22.8 is severed and the remainder of this Section 22 continues in full force.
22.10 Limitations period. Any claim you bring arising out of these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim accrues. Claims by us for non-payment are governed by the applicable statutory limitations period, which for an obligation founded upon an instrument in writing is six (6) years under NRS 11.190(1)(b).
22.11 Post-judgment interest. Any judgment obtained under these Terms bears interest at the rate stated in Section 9.1 until satisfied, or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.
22.12 Waiver of defenses to capacity. You acknowledge that Brain Food Productions, LLC is the contracting party under Section 1.2, that all trade names are identified as trade names only, and that you will not assert as a defense to any action that the Company lacks capacity to sue by reason of the name under which any invoice, proposal, or communication was issued.
23. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
23.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, the complaining party will send written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought, and the parties will negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days.
23.2 Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved under Section 23.1 will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in Clark County, Nevada. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
23.3 Carve-outs. Arbitration does not apply to: (a) any claim brought by either party in small claims court, provided the claim remains in that forum; (b) any action by us to collect unpaid fees; (c) any action for injunctive or equitable relief relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property; or (d) any action under Section 11.3, 11.4, 11.10, 11.11, 12.9, or 12.11.
23.4 Class action waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party or preside over any class or representative proceeding.
23.5 Blowup provision. If Section 23.4 is held unenforceable as to any claim or request for relief, then Section 23.2 does not apply to that claim or request for relief, which will instead be resolved in court under Sections 22.1, 22.3, and 22.4. The remainder of this Section 23 continues to apply to all other claims.
24. FORCE MAJEURE
24.1 Neither party is liable for delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemic, labor dispute, utility or internet failure, hosting or platform outage, or government action. This Section does not excuse any payment obligation.
24.2 If a force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected engagement upon written notice, subject to payment for Services performed and costs committed.
25. GENERAL
25.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any applicable Order and the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous discussions, proposals, representations, and agreements. Where a signed written Order conflicts with these Terms, the Order controls as to that engagement.
25.2 No reliance. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, or warranty not expressly set forth in these Terms or in an Order. Nothing in this Section limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
25.3 Amendment. We may amend these Terms at any time by posting a revised version bearing a new effective date. Material changes take effect thirty (30) days after posting, and we will provide notice by email to the address on file or by conspicuous notice on the Site. Amendments do not apply to Services already rendered or to fees for Orders already submitted. Your continued use of the Site or Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
25.4 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable, and if it cannot be so modified, it will be severed. The remainder continues in full force and effect.
25.5 No waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right operates as a waiver of that or any other right. Acceptance of late or partial payment does not waive our rights as to the balance or as to any other breach.
25.6 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any right or obligation under them, without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment is void. We may assign freely, including to an affiliate or successor in interest. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of permitted successors and assigns.
25.7 No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Nothing confers any right or remedy on any other person, except that Section 15.2 inures to the benefit of the indemnified persons named there.
25.8 Independent contractor. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship.
25.9 Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on file and are deemed received on the next Business Day following transmission. Notices to us must be sent to the email address in Section 27 and, for any legal notice, also by certified mail to the address in Section 27. You are responsible for maintaining a current email address. Either party may change its notice address by written notice to the other.
25.10 Survival. Sections 1.2, 2, 4.8, 4.9, 5.6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.6, 10.7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 survive termination or expiration of these Terms. Section 2 survives for the purpose of giving meaning to defined terms used in any surviving provision.
25.11 Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
25.12 Interpretation. These Terms will not be construed against either party as drafter. “Including” means “including without limitation.”
25.13 Electronic acceptance. You consent to transact electronically. Your electronic acceptance of these Terms has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature.
25.14 Counterparts. Any Order may be executed in counterparts, including by electronic signature, each of which is an original and all of which together constitute one instrument.
26. ONLINE STORE PURCHASES
26.1 Scope. This Section applies to purchases made through the Site’s online store. Where it conflicts with any other provision of these Terms, this Section controls as to that purchase.
26.2 Pricing and errors. Prices are shown at checkout and are subject to change before an order is placed. Package pricing is based on raw audio of sixty (60) minutes or less unless stated otherwise, and additional charges under Section 8 may apply. We may correct pricing or description errors and cancel any order placed at an incorrect price, in which case we will notify you and issue a full refund.
26.3 Order acceptance. Your submission of an order is an offer. A confirmation email acknowledges receipt but does not constitute acceptance. We accept your order when we begin fulfillment, and we may decline any order for any lawful reason.
26.4 Digital products and services. Digital goods and services are delivered electronically. Because these products are delivered in a form that cannot be returned, all sales are final once delivery has occurred, except as provided in Section 26.5 or as required by applicable law.
26.5 Refunds. If a digital product fails to download, is corrupted, is materially not as described, or is duplicated in error, notify us at info@premiumaudioservices.com within fourteen (14) calendar days of purchase and we will repair, replace, or refund the purchase at our election. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within ten (10) Business Days of approval. Custom or commissioned work is governed by Sections 7.2 and 10.5, not this Section.
26.6 Cancellation before delivery. You may cancel an order at any time before delivery or before we begin fulfillment, whichever is earlier, for a full refund.
26.7 Recurring charges. Where you purchase a subscription or recurring plan, the charge recurs automatically at the stated interval until cancelled. We will disclose the amount, interval, and cancellation method before you complete the purchase, and will send renewal notice where required by applicable law. You may cancel at any time through your account or by emailing info@premiumaudioservices.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period, and fees already charged are not prorated except as required by law.
26.8 Taxes and payment. Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout. Section 7.5 applies to all store purchases.
26.9 Consumers. If you purchase as a consumer, Section 1.8 applies, and Sections 22.10 and 23 apply only to the extent enforceable against consumers under the law of your state of residence.
