Terms of use

​

Acceptance of Musiversal's Terms

All recording sessions booked at fall under Musiversal's Terms, therefore upon booking a session you are agreeing with Musiversal's Terms described below.

​

​

1 - Booking date and time

The dates and times shown in our website are our planned dates, which can be subject to change with prior notice. In such event, all music is to be recorded at the next available recording session. Every composer will be informed and asked if postponing the session works well for their project.

​

2 - Planned sessions

If a session doesn't reach a minimum of 50% booking, Musiversal reserves the right to postpone the session until demand is sufficient to book a session.

​

3 -  Score submissions

Scores must be submitted by the client until 15 days before the recording session. In case the client is not able to submit the scores until 15 days prior the recording session we will automatically push your session back to the next available date and a 50% postponing session fee will apply. 

​

​4 - Score Review

We ask composers to send us the scores until 15 days before the recording date in order to allow our conductor to have time to review all the pieces we will record. If any issues come up while doing so we have time to contact the composer to make any necessary questions or changes.

5 - Beginner composers

Orchestration is an art that takes time to perfect. Beginner composers are encouraged to record their music in our recording sessions. Please note that if your orchestration is not well written, it will affect the recording outcome and it may not sound as VST or computer generated versions.

6 - Orchestra Level
Basic and Epic orchestras are recommended for portfolio building or orchestral reading while Prague and London  are recommended for professional, time-sensitive and high-value projects. Our team will review the difficulty of your score in order to guarantee a good recording.

7 - Commercial Audio usage

The client has the permission to commercially use the recordings delivered by Musiversal without paying additional fees or royalties.

8 - Image Sync Audio
The recordings delivered by Musiversal are allowed to be used as commercial audio releases and for syncing with image with the exception of our London Strings which are cleared for audio commercial release only. If you wish to use the music you recorded in London for image syncing please get in touch with hello@musiversal.com.

9 - Overdubbing

You can record overdubs in any of our recording sessions except for the London Strings. These require + 110% of session fee for each overdub.

​

10 - Credits

Musiversal must be credited in the credit section of a project, film, TV show, radio show, podcast, online platform video or audio post, or social media post upon the usage of music recorded at one of Musiversal's sessions. Multiple ways of crediting Musiversal are accepted, including but not limited to:

​

Full Refund Policy

​

We are proud of our London Sessions and want composers to know that when booking a London Session we guarantee a great result. For that reason we're offering a Full Refund Policy in case the result of your recording session is not professional as defined by the following criteria:

​

1 - The musicians couldn't fix a problem that was simple enough to be fixed by good quality professional players such as and limited to recurrent intonation problems on the same passage which were not fixed over the span of 5 takes, noise over the recording, inability to perform a rhythm over the span of 5 takes and inability to follow tempo indications on score with a limit of 2 different tempo markings per each minute of music.

2 - Failure to record one or more orchestral parts. The acceptable amount of parts is limited to one per instrument group. eg.: Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Celli, Double Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet...

The conditions above apply to our London Strings bookings only.

​

​

Booking Postponing Cost

 

After making a booking, a client can request Musiversal to postpone his/her session to a later date for no additional cost if the notice is given up to 30 days prior to the recording session.

 

If a client requests to postpone his/her session to a later date and notices Musiversal with 30 or less days before the date of the original booking, then a rescheduling cost equivalent to 50% of the amount of the original booking applies.
