5. ALL SALES FINAL, NO REFUNDS

ALL PURCHASES FROM M3 Studios ("COMPANY") ARE FINAL. THE COMPANY DOES NOT ISSUE REFUNDS, CREDITS, OR EXCHANGES FOR ANY REASON, REGARDLESS OF PRODUCT OR SERVICE CATEGORY. THIS POLICY IS MATERIAL TO THE PRICE OFFERED. THE COMPANY'S PRICING REFLECTS THE ALL-SALES-FINAL STRUCTURE. BY COMPLETING A PURCHASE, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU READ AND ACCEPTED THIS POLICY BEFORE PAYMENT.

The following rules apply by category:

(a) Digital products and downloadable goods. Once a digital file, guide, or downloadable product has been delivered or accessed, the purchase is final. The intangible nature of digital delivery prevents return.

(b) In-person studio services. Recording sessions, mixing, mastering, production, and any other service rendered at the Company's facility or by the Company's personnel are final upon commencement. "Commencement" means the date on which the first deliverable is scheduled, performed, drafted, or delivered, whichever is earliest. Partial sessions are billed at the full reserved-time rate.

(c) Remote services. Mixing, mastering, vocal production, content editing, social clips, publishing registration, and all other remote delivery services are final upon submission of the client's files or upon commencement of work by the Company, whichever occurs first.

(d) Physical apparel and merchandise. All apparel and physical goods are final sale. The Company does not accept returns or exchanges for fit, color preference, or change of mind. The sole remedy for a defective or incorrectly fulfilled item (wrong size shipped, manufacturing defect) is an exchange for the same item. The client must report the defect within seven (7) days of delivery with photo evidence sent to info@metamusicmedia.com. The exchange is the exclusive remedy. No cash refund is available.

(e) Deposits and booking holds. All deposits and session hold fees are non-refundable. A deposit compensates the Company for scheduling resources, equipment preparation, and the opportunity cost of holding the time slot. If a session is rescheduled with no less than forty-eight (48) hours advance notice, the deposit may be applied to the rescheduled date at the Company's sole discretion, one time only.

(f) Studio credit. Studio credit issued under Section 4 (Cancellation and Rescheduling) has no expiration date but is non-transferable and non-refundable for cash.

(g) Memberships. Memberships are billed on the stated recurring cycle. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial-period refunds.

SOLE-DISCRETION COURTESY PROVISION. THE COMPANY MAY, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, ISSUE A REFUND, SERVICE CREDIT, OR RESCHEDULE ACCOMMODATION IN RESPONSE TO A GOOD-FAITH COMPANY ERROR (FOR EXAMPLE, A DUPLICATE CHARGE OR A SESSION CANCELLED BY THE COMPANY FOR ITS OWN OPERATIONAL REASONS WITHOUT A CLIENT-CAUSED BASIS). ANY SUCH ACCOMMODATION IS A COURTESY, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THIS POLICY AND DOES NOT CREATE ANY OBLIGATION FOR SIMILAR ACCOMMODATION IN ANY FUTURE TRANSACTION.

6. CHARGEBACK AND PAYMENT DISPUTE TERMS

6.1 Contact the Company First. If you have a concern about a charge, contact the Company at info@metamusicmedia.com before initiating any dispute with your bank or payment card issuer. The Company will make a good-faith effort to resolve legitimate billing concerns within five (5) business days of written notice.

6.2 CHARGEBACK RIGHT PRESERVED, CONTRACTUAL CONSEQUENCES APPLY. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION PREVENTS YOU FROM EXERCISING ANY STATUTORY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO DISPUTE A CHARGE WITH YOUR BANK OR CARD ISSUER UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING THE FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT (15 U.S.C. SEC. 1666 ET SEQ.). HOWEVER, IF YOU RECEIVED THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE, THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE WAS DELIVERED SUBSTANTIALLY AS DESCRIBED, AND YOU HAD ACCEPTED THE ALL SALES FINAL POLICY IN SECTION 5 PRIOR TO PURCHASE, THEN INITIATING A PAYMENT DISPUTE OR CHARGEBACK AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR THAT TRANSACTION CONSTITUTES A BREACH OF THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

6.3 Liability for Wrongful Chargebacks. If you file a chargeback or payment dispute in breach of this agreement as described in Section 6.2, you agree to be liable to the Company for:

  • (a) the full amount of the disputed transaction;
  • (b) all chargeback processing fees, representment fees, and bank or payment processor fees actually imposed on the Company as a direct result of the dispute (currently ranging from $20.00 to $100.00 per incident, subject to change by the applicable payment network);
  • (c) all reasonable collection costs incurred by the Company in recovering the amounts set forth in (a) and (b); and
  • (d) reasonable attorney fees to the extent permitted by Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code sec. 38.001 or any applicable fee-shifting provision, recoverable only if the Company prevails on its breach of contract claim.

The amounts in (b), (c), and (d) are actual damages caused by the breach, not penalties.

6.4 Suspension of Future Service. The Company may, in its discretion, suspend or permanently refuse future bookings, orders, or services to any client who initiates a chargeback in breach of this agreement, pending resolution of the dispute.

6.5 Use of Agreement as Evidence. The Company reserves the right to submit this agreement, your acceptance record (including checkout timestamp, IP address, and affirmative acknowledgment), order confirmation, delivery confirmation, and all supporting documentation to the applicable payment network, card issuer, or court as evidence in any dispute resolution, representment, or legal proceeding.

6.6 Survival. The obligations in this Section survive payment and delivery and remain in effect for the duration of any applicable chargeback or dispute window under the payment network rules.

7. STUDIO RULES AND CLIENT CONDUCT

(a) No smoking, vaping, or controlled substances on premises at any time. Violation results in immediate termination of the session or service with no refund.

(b) Guests are welcome within the limits stated in Section 9 (Appointment-Only Access). Disruptive guests will be asked to leave. Client is responsible for the conduct of all persons Client brings to the premises.

(c) See Section 10 (Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability) and Section 11 (Property Damage) for rules governing injury and damage caused by the client and client's guests.

(d) M3 Studios is a commercial facility located inside Chelsea Business Park at 4503 Spring Cypress Road, Suite B5, Spring, Texas 77388. It is not a residential operation. Compliance with park rules, parking rules, and quiet-hours rules is your responsibility while on premises.

(e) See Section 8 (Scheduled Time and Late Arrival) for time and late-arrival rules.

(f) See Section 17 (Right to Terminate for Misconduct) for Company's right to end a session and the consequences of misconduct.

8. SCHEDULED TIME AND LATE ARRIVAL

BOOKED SESSION OR SERVICE TIME BEGINS AT THE SCHEDULED START TIME, REGARDLESS OF THE HOUR AT WHICH CLIENT OR CLIENT'S PARTY ARRIVES. LATE ARRIVAL DOES NOT EXTEND THE SESSION OR SERVICE END TIME. NO REFUND, CREDIT, OR COMPENSATION IS ISSUED FOR ANY PORTION OF BOOKED TIME UNUSED DUE TO CLIENT'S LATE ARRIVAL.

If Client arrives sixty (60) or more minutes after the scheduled start time without prior notice, Company may, in its sole discretion, treat the appointment as a no-show and forfeit any deposit paid, without obligation to reschedule at the same rate.

SOLE-DISCRETION ACCOMMODATION. COMPANY MAY, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, WAIVE A LATE-ARRIVAL FEE, REINSTATE A FORFEITED DEPOSIT, OR RESCHEDULE A FORFEITED SESSION TO A DATE THAT WORKS BEST FOR CLIENT, INCLUDING IN THE CASE OF CLIENT'S GOOD-FAITH ERROR OR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE. ANY SUCH ACCOMMODATION IS A COURTESY, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THIS POLICY AND DOES NOT CREATE ANY OBLIGATION FOR SIMILAR ACCOMMODATION IN ANY FUTURE TRANSACTION.

Company Delays. Company will use reasonable efforts to notify Client if a session or service must be delayed due to Company's own operational needs. If a delay is caused solely by Company, Client's session or service time will be extended by the duration of that delay at no additional charge.

9. APPOINTMENT-ONLY ACCESS

Access to the premises is by appointment only. No person may enter the premises without a confirmed, paid booking. Company reserves the right to deny entry to any person who does not have a confirmed appointment, including persons accompanying a booked client who were not disclosed at the time of booking. Company may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of accompanying persons admitted to the premises at any time.

10. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

BY ACCESSING THE PREMISES AT 4503 SPRING CYPRESS ROAD SUITE B5, SPRING, TX 77388 OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY SESSION, SHOOT, OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY M3 Studios ("COMPANY"), CLIENT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY LOSS ARISING FROM CLIENT'S USE OF THE PREMISES AND PARTICIPATION IN ANY RECORDING SESSION, VIDEO PRODUCTION, PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT, OR ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDED BY COMPANY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS, OR BY THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES.

THIS RELEASE COVERS THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO RELEASE, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO RELEASE, LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR INTENTIONAL ACTS BY THE RELEASED PARTIES.

11. PROPERTY DAMAGE

CLIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE PREMISES, EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS, FURNITURE, FIXTURES, OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY OF COMPANY CAUSED BY CLIENT, CLIENT'S GUESTS, INVITEES, ACCOMPANYING PERSONS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ENTERING THE PREMISES AT CLIENT'S DIRECTION OR INVITATION (COLLECTIVELY, "CLIENT'S PARTY").

Client agrees to reimburse Company for the full cost of repair or replacement, at Company's sole discretion, for any damage caused by Client's Party. Company reserves the right to charge the payment method on file or invoice Client for such costs within thirty (30) days of the damage. Client's obligation under this Section extends to damage caused by the negligent or reckless acts of any member of Client's Party, regardless of whether Client personally caused or witnessed the damage.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

(a) Your Underlying Work. Except as provided in this Section, you retain ownership of your creative works, including sound recordings, compositions, lyrics, beats, melodies, and the subject matter of any photography, video, or branding engagement. Company does not claim ownership of your underlying creative material.

(b) Music and Audio Deliverables. For clients who book recording, mixing, mastering, or beat production services: ownership of master recordings, publishing rights, and all related music-industry rights are governed by your separately executed Artist Session Agreement at metamusicmedia.com/pages/artist-session-agreement. Engineer credit attribution, producer credit, and SoundExchange registration are also governed by that agreement. In the event of conflict between this Section and the Artist Session Agreement, the Artist Session Agreement controls for music and audio deliverables.

(c) Visual Deliverables (Photography, Video, Logo, Graphic and Brand Design). For clients who engage Company for photography, videography, logo design, brand identity, graphic design, EPK production, animated visualizers, or related visual services, the following rules apply:

  • (i) Company retains the copyright and all ownership rights in all raw, unedited, layered, and editable source and working files (including without limitation RAW image files, PSD, AI, vector, video project files, and any intermediate file format). Client does not receive any ownership of those source or working files under any standard service engagement.
  • (ii) For photography and video: upon receipt of full payment, Client receives a license to use the final delivered files scoped to the agreed use as stated in the applicable service listing, project brief, or written agreement (personal vs. commercial use, named channels, stated term). Company retains the copyright and all RAW files.
  • (iii) For logo and brand design: upon receipt of full payment, Client receives an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use the final delivered logo as Client's own brand identity and trademark. This license permits Client to apply the logo to products, marketing materials, and digital properties. It does NOT transfer the copyright, does NOT include the editable or source files, and does NOT permit Client to modify, reverse-engineer, sublicense, or resell the logo artwork.
  • (iv) Full copyright assignment, a transfer of ownership, a release of source or raw files, or an all-rights buyout for any visual deliverable is available ONLY by a separate written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Company and Client, for an additional fee agreed in writing. Any purported oral assignment or assignment not in a signed writing is void under 17 U.S.C. sec. 204.
  • (v) No license or rights of any kind transfer to Client until payment is made in full. In the event of a payment dispute or chargeback, the license granted under this Section is automatically suspended pending resolution.
(VI) RESTRICTIONS AND ATTRIBUTION (ALL VISUAL DELIVERABLES, UNDER THE STANDARD LICENSE). UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED IN WRITING DIRECTLY WITH M3 STUDIOS, CLIENT MAY NOT RESELL, REDISTRIBUTE, SUBLICENSE, OR TRANSFER ANY VISUAL DELIVERABLE OR FILE TO ANY THIRD PARTY, AND MAY NOT REPRESENT THAT CLIENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY AUTHORED, CREATED, OR ORIGINALLY DESIGNED THE WORK, OR ENTER THE WORK INTO ANY COMPETITION, PORTFOLIO, OR CREDIT LISTING AS CLIENT'S OWN DESIGN. M3 STUDIOS IS CREDITED AS THE CREATOR OF THE WORK: FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO, A VISIBLE CREDIT TO M3 STUDIOS ACCOMPANIES ANY PUBLIC DISPLAY OR PUBLICATION OF THE WORK; FOR LOGO AND BRAND DESIGN, M3 STUDIOS IS IDENTIFIED AS THE DESIGNER IN ANY CONTEXT IN WHICH THE WORK'S AUTHORSHIP IS PRESENTED (FOR EXAMPLE, DESIGN AWARDS, CASE STUDIES, PRESS FEATURES, OR DESIGN PORTFOLIOS). THESE RESTRICTIONS AND THE ATTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT APPLY UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED IN WRITING DIRECTLY WITH M3 STUDIOS, AND THEY CEASE TO APPLY UPON CLIENT'S COMPLETION OF A FULL COPYRIGHT BUYOUT UNDER SUBSECTION (IV), AT WHICH POINT THE WORK MAY BE USED, MODIFIED, AND PRESENTED AS SET OUT IN THAT SIGNED AGREEMENT.

(d) Company Portfolio License (all services). Client grants Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, display, perform, distribute, and create promotional derivative works from the deliverables produced for Client, for Company's portfolio, demo reel, case studies, capability presentations, website, social media, email marketing, paid advertising, and PR. Company is not claiming ownership of Client's underlying work. Company is reserving the right to promote the work Company performed. If you want to be anonymized in case studies or portfolio materials, submit a written request to info@metamusicmedia.com before publication. Company will anonymize your identity using a generic descriptor. For recording session clients, engineering credit attribution under your Session Agreement is separate and unaffected by any anonymization request.

(e) NIL and Publicity. Client grants Company a non-exclusive license to use Client's name, stage name, image, likeness, voice, and biographical information in connection with the promotional and portfolio uses in subsection (d).

THIS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION EXTENDS TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF CLIENT'S PARTY, WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, COMPARATIVE, OR CONCURRENT, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH CLAIMS.

16. CLIENT CONTENT AND RIGHTS CLEARANCE

Client warrants that all material Client supplies to Company for use in any service (including without limitation musical compositions, lyrics, master recordings, samples, beats, photographs, images, logos, trade dress, and trademarks) is either owned by Client or fully licensed from the rights holder, with all required clearances obtained and in effect prior to delivery to Company. Client is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary licenses, releases, and permissions for any third-party material supplied to Company.

Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any allegation of infringement, unauthorized use, or breach of any third-party intellectual property right, right of publicity, or contractual right attributable to Client-supplied material. This indemnification obligation is in addition to and does not limit the indemnification in Section 15.

17. RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOR MISCONDUCT

COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE ANY SESSION, SERVICE, OR ENGAGEMENT AND TO REMOVE CLIENT AND CLIENT'S PARTY FROM THE PREMISES, WITH NO REFUND OF ANY AMOUNT PAID, IF COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS REASONABLE JUDGMENT THAT CLIENT OR ANY MEMBER OF CLIENT'S PARTY ENGAGES IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

Termination under this Section does not waive Company's right to seek recovery for any damages caused by the misconduct under Section 11 or any other applicable provision.

18. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AND NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, M3 STUDIOS MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ANY SPECIFIC ARTISTIC, COMMERCIAL, OR REVENUE RESULT. ALL SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC COMMERCIAL, ARTISTIC, OR CREATIVE OUTCOME AS A RESULT OF ANY SERVICE. WITHOUT LIMITATION, COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING STREAMING REVENUE, STREAMS, CHART POSITION, LABEL DEAL, PUBLISHING DEAL, SYNC PLACEMENT, FOLLOWER GROWTH, SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, ALGORITHMIC REACH, VIRAL DISTRIBUTION, BOOKING OPPORTUNITIES, AWARD RECOGNITION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL OR CREATIVE RESULT. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON A PROFESSIONAL-EFFORT BASIS. THE RESULT IS SHAPED BY CLIENT'S TALENT, EFFORT, TIMING, MARKET CONDITIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS OUTSIDE COMPANY'S CONTROL.

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

M3 STUDIOS' TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO ANY SERVICE, PRODUCT, OR DELIVERABLE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE, PRODUCT, OR DELIVERABLE IN QUESTION. M3 Studios SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR LOST-PROFIT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF M3 Studios HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

M3 Studios IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO CLIENT-OWNED EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS, MEDIA, OR PERSONAL PROPERTY BROUGHT TO THE STUDIO.

20. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Any claim arising under or related to these Terms must be filed within two (2) years and one (1) day of the date the claim accrued. Any claim filed after that period is forever barred. This period adopts the shortest limitations period permitted under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code sec. 16.070, which does not permit a contractual period shorter than two years; this provision does not purport to shorten any period below that minimum and does not apply to any claim that may not be contractually shortened under Texas law. It applies to contract claims and is separate from and does not affect the six-month file-retention period in Section 22.

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: BINDING ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

21.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing a formal claim, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by written notice and a thirty (30) day informal-resolution period beginning on the date written notice is received by the other party.

21.2 BINDING ARBITRATION. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SERVICE PROVIDED BY M3 Studios, OR CLIENT'S USE OF THE PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR BREACH OF CONTRACT, THAT IS NOT RESOLVED DURING THE INFORMAL-RESOLUTION PERIOD SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES (FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER DISPUTES, AVAILABLE AT ADR.ORG/CONSUMER) OR COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES (FOR BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS DISPUTES), BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR, RATHER THAN IN COURT. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THIS PROVISION APPLIES TO AND IS BINDING ON BOTH COMPANY AND CLIENT. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
21.3 CLASS ACTION WAIVER. CLIENT AND COMPANY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.
21.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, CLIENT WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDED BY COMPANY. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THIS WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.

21.5 Exceptions. The following are not subject to arbitration under this Section: (a) actions filed in a Texas small claims court within that court's jurisdictional limits; and (b) requests for emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Harris County, Texas, to prevent irreparable harm or to enforce the intellectual property provisions of Section 12.

21.6 Prevailing Party. The prevailing party in any arbitration or permitted court proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

22. FILE RETENTION, AUTHORIZED DELIVERY, AND CLIENT BACKUP

Company retains delivered project files, stems, session recordings, and source materials for a period of six (6) months after delivery to Client. After that period, those files may be permanently deleted without further notice to Client. Company is not liable for any loss of files that occurs after delivery, whether during or after the six-month retention period.

Client is solely responsible for maintaining Client's own backup copies of all delivered files immediately upon receipt. Company's delivery of files to Client (via download link, file transfer, or other agreed method) constitutes delivery for purposes of this Section.

This six-month retention period is separate from and does not affect the two-year limitations period in Section 20.

Authorized Recipient. Company delivers all work product, including session files, stems, masters, mixes, mastered audio, beats, photographs, video, visual and design files, and any other deliverable, solely to the individual or entity named on the order who booked and paid for the work (the “Authorized Recipient”).

Company will not release, transfer, or send any deliverable to any third party, including a manager, label, producer, collaborator, bandmate, or family member, without either (a) the Authorized Recipient’s prior written authorization naming that third party, or (b) a valid, current Power of Attorney executed under the Texas Estates Code (Tex. Est. Code sec. 751.001 et seq.) granting that person authority to receive the work on the Authorized Recipient’s behalf.

Company may require reasonable identity verification of the Authorized Recipient, or of any third party presenting written authorization or a Power of Attorney, before releasing any deliverable.

This protects the copyright owner’s exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution under 17 U.S.C. sec. 106 and the confidentiality of voice data under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code sec. 503.001. Company bears no liability for declining or delaying any delivery request it cannot verify as authorized.

23. MEDIA, LIKENESS, AND PORTFOLIO USE

Company may photograph, film, or audio-record sessions and activities occurring on its premises or in connection with its services, and may use the resulting media, including still photographs, video clips, audio excerpts, and behind-the-scenes content, together with the deliverables produced for Client, in Company's portfolio, website, social media, email marketing, paid advertising, case studies, and other promotional and business-development materials.

Client grants Company a non-exclusive license to use Client's name, stage name, image, likeness, voice, and biographical information solely in connection with these promotional uses.

Opt-Out. If Client does not wish to be identified by name or depicted by likeness in Company's portfolio or marketing materials, Client must submit a written opt-out request to info@metamusicmedia.com before the relevant content is published. Company will anonymize Client's identity using a generic descriptor (for example, "Houston-based artist") in all materials published after receiving the opt-out request. Materials already published at the time of the request are not subject to retroactive removal unless Company elects at its discretion to remove them. An opt-out request under this Section does not affect engineer credit attribution governed by a separately executed Artist Session Agreement.

24. ELIGIBILITY, CAPACITY, AND MINORS

(a) Age requirement. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to accept these Terms and to independently book or purchase any product or service from Company.

(b) Minors, parent or guardian required. If the client or session participant is under eighteen (18) years of age, a parent or legal guardian must:

  • (i) accept these Terms on the minor's behalf before or at the time of booking;
  • (ii) be present on the premises during any session or service involving the minor, unless Company expressly waives this requirement in writing; and
  • (iii) by accepting these Terms, acknowledge that they are fully bound by all provisions of this agreement, including without limitation the obligations in Sections 10, 11, 15, and 21.

(c) Parent or guardian indemnification. The parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on behalf of a minor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to the minor's participation in any Company session or service, or from any act or omission of the minor or the minor's accompanying party while on Company's premises.

(d) Limit of parental acceptance. The parent or legal guardian's acceptance of these Terms, including the release in Section 10 and the indemnification in Section 15, binds the parent or legal guardian with respect to the parent's or legal guardian's own claims. Under applicable Texas law, a parent or legal guardian's pre-injury acceptance does not and is not intended to waive or release any independent personal injury claim that the minor may have in the minor's own right.
