Engaging the services of Lunartune Productions (hereinafter referred to as LP) constitutes acceptance of all applicable terms of trade below.
Project Invoicing
Payments are to be met in instalments corresponding to key stages of project development, with advance payment required for the first stage. Subsequent fees are payable in arrears, upon completion and client approval of each stage. Alternatively, by mutual agreement, the client may pay a deposit equal to 50% of the total costing, with the remainder payable upon completion of the project.
Client Approval
Approval of work in progress represents both a binding commitment by the client to all work so far carried out by LP, and a firm authorisation for LP to proceed with the project. Any work rendered redundant by the client's reneging on their previous approval of a stage of development, will be charged for at the applicable rate over and above the quoted cost of the project. If the client decides to withdraw from the project prior to its completion, the client shall remain liable for the cost of all work carried out thus far. If, as a direct result of the timeframe imposed by the client, the approval process is not possible, the client forgoes any entitlement to project alterations by LP, unless the requisite additional time is paid for.
Intellectual Property
Ownership of a mechanical reproduction of a recording made by LP does not automatically confer ownership of the intellectual property contained therein. LP retains all rights to original compositions or arrangements, and recordings thereof, unless a different assignment of rights or licensing agreement has been negotiated in advance.
Breach Of Copyright
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that neither material submitted to, nor requested from LP is in violation of copyright law. LP accepts no liability for copyright infringement due to a client’s failure to advise of copyright status.
Goods
Products (such as compact discs or other electronic data) resulting from a service provided, shall remain the property of LP until all associated payments have been received.
Payment Methods
Accepted payment methods are direct credit, cheque, cash or bank deposit within Australia, or cheque, credit card, money order or telegraphic transfer if outside Australia.
Non-payment
Unless alternative arrangements have been made, all accounts that remain either partly or wholly outstanding after a period of 28 days from the date of issue, are subject to a late payment fee equal to 10% of the balance. Any debts which continue to be unpaid will be referred to a third party debt-collection agency, with the client liable for all costs of collection.
Any dispute regarding the provision of services under these terms is to be settled in accordance with Victorian State law.
