TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last updated September 07, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms & Conditions form part of the agreement between Justin Lee Bradshaw, LLC, doing business as Awesome Sound System, and any person or entity ("Client") engaging Awesome Sound System for mastering or related services.
2. Risk of Loss
All risk of loss or damage to materials, physical or digital, after arrival at the studio is assumed by Client. Awesome Sound System is not liable for special, incidental, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost income, lost profits, or emotional distress arising from the loss, damage, or destruction of materials prior to final delivery.
If a project is placed on hold at Client's request, Awesome Sound System will store physical materials for up to 60 days. After that period, materials may be considered abandoned and disposed of at Awesome Sound System's discretion.
3. Media Storage & Materials
All tapes, CDs, ADATs, DATs, hard drives, or digital files are stored at Client's risk. Awesome Sound System may release materials only upon full payment. Pricing is based on the materials' current costs and may change if costs increase before project completion.
For projects that have not commenced, physical or digital materials left at the studio for more than 60 days without written authorization to begin work, payment of a deposit, or project-related communication from the Client will be deemed abandoned.
Similarly, unclaimed materials from completed projects will be deemed abandoned 60 days after project completion. Awesome Sound System will attempt to notify Client using the contact information on file before disposing of, destroying, or recycling any abandoned materials. If Client does not respond within 14 days of that notice, Awesome Sound System may proceed at its sole discretion, without further liability or notice to the Client. Awesome Sound System is not an archive business. Clients are encouraged to keep backups of all original files.
4. Payment & Late Fees
Payment is due upon receipt of final masters unless otherwise agreed. Late payments incur 1.5% interest per month. Awesome Sound System may stop work or withhold files for non-payment. Acceptance of late payment does not waive the right to full payment.
Deposits, when required, are non-refundable unless explicitly stated. Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, credit card, or other agreed-upon methods.
5. Project Turnaround & Delivery
Estimated delivery times begin after all files, instructions, and approvals are received. Awesome Sound System is not responsible for delays caused by incomplete submissions, unclear communication, or factors beyond its control.
Digital deliveries are hosted via third-party services and are subject to those services' availability and retention policies. While download links are typically valid for 365 days unless otherwise agreed, clients are strongly encouraged to download and back up their files immediately upon delivery, as link availability and third-party hosting cannot be permanently guaranteed. Clients assume responsibility for maintaining copies of delivered files.
6. Chargebacks & Dispute Resolution
Clients must attempt to resolve issues directly with Awesome Sound System before initiating chargebacks or disputes. Reversing payment for completed and delivered work will be considered a breach of contract.
7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
It is acknowledged that this Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the rules, orders and regulations of the Department in effect at the time of the execution of this Agreement. If any legal action is filed pursuant to this Agreement such action must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas, Texas, USA.
8. Force Majeure
Awesome Sound System is not liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, equipment failure, or other unforeseen circumstances.
9. Limitation of Liability for Reproduction
Awesome Sound System makes every reasonable effort to deliver work according to Client specifications. Awesome Sound System's liability for any errors in delivered masters, whether digital or physical, is limited to correcting the master files themselves at no additional cost. Awesome Sound System is not liable for consequential losses, including, without limitation, lost income, lost sales, emotional distress, or costs associated with pressing, distribution, or reproduction, even if the master holds commercial or sentimental value.
Awesome Sound System provides thorough quality control on deliverables. Client assumes responsibility for reviewing and approving all deliverables and masters prior to manufacturing, distribution, final archiving, or any other use. Awesome Sound System is not liable for errors identified after Client has authorized or proceeded with reproduction or distribution.
10. Ownership & Portfolio Use
Upon full payment, Client owns the final delivered masters. Awesome Sound System retains no rights to distribute, license, or otherwise commercially exploit delivered masters. Awesome Sound System does, however, retain the right to use brief excerpts of delivered work for portfolio, demo reel, or promotional purposes, unless Client requests otherwise in writing.
11. Confidentiality
Awesome Sound System treats all Client materials, including unreleased music and related project information, as confidential. Such materials will not be shared, previewed, or discussed publicly prior to Client's release of the work, except as permitted under Section 10 or as otherwise agreed in writing.
12. Revisions
Two revisions are included in the standard mastering rate. If Client submits a revised mix following delivery of masters, an new adjusted session fee applies at the discretion of Awesome Sound System. Additional revision rounds beyond those included may incur additional charges.
13. Modification to Terms
Awesome Sound System may update these Terms at its discretion. The version in effect when a project is initiated governs that project. A project is considered initiated upon receipt of files, submission of intake form, written authorization, or payment, whichever occurs first. Continued engagement after updates constitutes acceptance of revised Terms for future projects.
14. Entire Agreement & Severability
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Client and Awesome Sound System regarding the services described herein and supersede any prior discussions, understandings, or agreements, whether written or oral. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
