Studio Terms & Policies

We want every session at South Side Studios to run smoothly and professionally. By booking or using the studio, you agree to the following policies.

Bookings & Rescheduling

Bookings do not require a deposit unless agreed otherwise.

If you need to reschedule, please let us know at least 5 hours before your session.

One reschedule is allowed without charge, subject to studio availability. Additional rescheduling requests may incur a fee equal to 50% of the applicable hourly rate.

Any exceptions can be agreed directly with the studio.

Respectful Studio Environment

South Side Studios is a professional and creative workspace. Clients and guests are expected to treat the studio, equipment and everyone present with respect.

The studio may end a session if there is abusive, threatening, unsafe, discriminatory, heavily intoxicated or otherwise inappropriate behaviour.

Sessions ended for these reasons may still be charged.

Equipment & Property

Clients are responsible for any damage caused by themselves or their guests through negligence, misuse or intentional behaviour.

If studio equipment, instruments or property are damaged, the client may be responsible for reasonable repair or replacement costs.

Normal wear and tear is, of course, not considered client damage.

Payments & File Delivery

Payment for recording, production, editing, mixing, mastering and other project-based services must be completed before final files are delivered.

This includes final masters, stems, exports, session files and other agreed deliverables.

Different arrangements may be made in advance where agreed with the studio.

Your Files & Projects

We recommend that clients keep their own backups of delivered files.

Project files and session materials may not be stored indefinitely, so please download and safely archive your files once your project has been delivered.

Acceptance of Terms

By confirming a booking or using the studio, you confirm that you have read and accepted these policies.
