This section applies to all custom-production orders placed through the custom ordering system on the Site.
12.1 Overview
The Custom Service Ordering System (the “System”) allows Producers to offer tailor-made music production services to Buyers. By using this System, you agree to these additional Terms of Use, which form part of the main Terms above.
12.2 Scope and Functionality
The System facilitates:
Ordering of personalized music production services from Producers.
A structured workflow: deposit payment → demo delivery → approval or revision → final payment → final delivery.
Communication through a private dashboard/chat within the Site.
Secure payments processed via Stripe (or other supported payment gateways).
The Site acts only as an intermediary providing infrastructure for these services; we are not a party to the creative contract between Buyer and Producer.
12.3 Ordering Process
Service Selection: The Buyer selects a Producer’s service and submits a project brief.
Deposit Payment: The Buyer pays a non-refundable 30% deposit to confirm the order.
Demo Delivery: The Producer delivers a demo within the timeframe specified in the service listing.
Approval/Revision: The Buyer may request revisions per the Producer’s revision policy or approve the demo.
Final Payment: Following approval, the Buyer pays the remaining 70% final payment.
Final Delivery: The Producer provides the full track package (including stems, project files, and final masters if applicable).
Rights Transfer: Ownership and rights transfer to the Buyer only after full final payment is complete and confirmed.
12.4 Non-Refundable Deposit; Demo Rights
The initial deposit is strictly non-refundable, including in the event of cancellation or change of mind.
Paying the deposit does not grant any ownership, usage, or licensing rights to the demo, preview, or any materials created for the order.
If the order is cancelled before final payment, the Buyer forfeits both the deposit and any rights to use, distribute or publish the demo material or any creative work produced.
Ownership of all creative content (including demos, drafts, or previews) remains with the Producer until final payment is completed and confirmed.
Use of demo material prior to final payment or after cancellation is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
12.5 Cancellation and Dispute Policy
Either party may cancel the order prior to demo approval. However, the deposit remains non-refundable.
If a Producer fails to deliver the demo within the agreed timeframe, the Buyer may contact support to open a dispute.
The Site may intervene to mediate but does not guarantee outcomes, refunds or replacements.
Once final delivery has been approved and files transferred, no further refunds or cancellations are possible.
12.6 Intellectual Property
After full payment, the Buyer receives full buyout rights (exclusive ownership, commercial rights and distribution rights) to the delivered track and associated files.
The Producer must ensure the track does not contain copyrighted, royalty-restricted, or AI-generated musical elements unless explicitly permitted in the service description.
Any unauthorized use of third-party samples, melodies or vocals resulting in copyright claims is the sole responsibility of the Producer.
12.7 Communication and File Exchange
All communication, file uploads, revisions and approval must occur within the Site’s secure dashboard/chat system. External payments, file sharing or communication outside the Platform are strictly prohibited and may lead to account suspension.
12.8 Producer Responsibilities
Producers must:
Deliver work that matches the Buyer’s provided brief and specifications.
Include all required project files, stems and formats (WAV, MP3, etc.) as outlined in the service description.
Clearly specify delivery timeframe, revision limits, pricing and DAW compatibility before accepting orders.
Maintain originality and ensure the track does not use unlicensed, copyrighted or AI-generated content unless the service permits it.
Failure to comply may result in withheld payments, account suspension or removal from the Platform.
12.9 Buyer Responsibilities
Buyers must:
Provide clear, accurate and detailed order briefs.
Review and approve demos within the specified timeframe to avoid delays.
Respect the Producer’s delivery timeframe, revision limits and artistic process.
12.10 Payment Processing
All payments (deposit and final payment) are processed securely via Stripe (or other supported gateways).
The Site deducts its standard platform commission from Producer earnings.
Payouts to Producers are issued within 24 hours of order completion and final approval.
Transaction fees, taxes or currency-conversion costs are the responsibility of the Producer.
12.11 Confidentiality
Both parties agree that all communication, files and creative materials exchanged within an order are confidential and may not be disclosed publicly or shared with third parties without written consent.
