Studio Policies 

Scheduling Studio Time:
Sessions may be booked any time of the day, during the week or weekends. There are no extra fees for booking weekend sessions. Our typical session starts at 10am and we have a 2-hour minimum on all bookings. When calling to book studio time, we may need to call you back to confirm times and engineer’s availability. All sessions and tours are by appointment only. 

Billable Time:
Your billed time starts at your booked start time regardless of what time you arrive. You may go over your booked session time if the studio and engineer are available to do so; the additional studio time will be billed in ¼ hour increments. Your booked time will be billed regardless of whether you use all of it or not, with a leeway of 1 hour. For example, if you book a 6-hour session and finish your recording in 4 hours, you are still responsible for paying for at least 5 hours. Tis does not apply tho 2 hour sessions as we have a 2 hour minimum. 

Deposit:
To hold each session time a 50% deposit is required. Until we receive your deposit, your session is considered tentative and may be forfeited to another client. This deposit will be applied to your booked session time(s) and the remainder of the payment will be due at the end of each session. 

DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE 

Rescheduling/Cancellation: 
When you book a session with us and provide a deposit, we reserve that time just for you. We understand that plans can change, so if you need to cancel or reschedule: 

  • If you cancel or reschedule more than 2 weeks before your session, there’s no fee. 
  • Any cancellation or rescheduling made less than 2 weeks in advance will result in a fee equal to 50% of the session time booked. 
  • Any cancellation or rescheduling made less than 48 hours in advance will result in a fee equal to 100% of the time booked. 

Payment Terms:
We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, checks and PayPal. 

No recorded material or files can be released until balance has been paid in full. 

  • $30.00 returned check fee will be charged for any returned check. 
  • Overdue invoices will accrue at 1.5% interest per month and the client shall be responsible for all expenses that Colorado Sound Studios may incur in collection efforts, including and without limitation to attorney’s fees and other related costs. 

File Management/Liability: 
Storage and regular backup of all recorded media and data during and after all sessions is the responsibility of the client. Hard drives are available for purchase at the studio for client media storage. The studio is neither responsible nor liable for loss, theft or damage to property brought onto the premises, including but without limitation to: personal property, vehicles, instruments, recorded media, data, hard drives, flash drives or any other media storage device.
