  • If the commission is cancelled by the client, or the client fails to pay the agreed upon price, I reserve the right to re-purpose the track for any future project, and the right to sell the track to another client. This also applies to commissions that are cancelled and refunded by me.

  • I reserve the right to use the completed commission as a sample on my YouTube channel, SoundCloud and/or commission page as well as a sample on my price sheets.

  • It should go without saying, if a refund is issued you do not have the right to use the track commissioned unless the track is made public by me.

Refunds

  • Refunds will not be given out unless I, the producer, fail to deliver the finished product to the client or cancel the commission.

  • Please understand that the estimated time it takes to make a track is listed without consideration for unforeseen issues arising. In the case I ask for an extension of a deadline due to extenuating circumstances and you decide against it, you may ask for a refund

Situational Info

  • I do not feel comfortable taking money for tracks that do not meet my own quality standard. Therefore, I will turn down commission requests that do not fall under my own skillset. (Feel free to inquire about any type of song just be aware that I might not take the commission)

  • Naturally, higher complexity songs may involve additional costs, as well as a longer timeframe for completion.

  • In the rare case I take a Rushed Commission, there will be additional varying costs depending on the circumstances, current commission queue, and given time limit.

Regarding Commercial Usage

  • Price for Commercial Usage is double the initial prices.

  • If you commission a track that will be used for a product that will be sold, I will consider it Commercial Usage

  • If you are using the commission to advertise products, I will consider it Commercial Usage

  • If you commissioned a track previously for personal use but want to use it for commercial purposes, you may only do so discussing it with me and getting my permission. ( You will have to pay the price for commercial rights)

  • To avoid any confusion around this please let me know what you intend to use the commission for.

TLDR?
