Spec Deals
All work done on a speculative basis is billed at twice the standard studio rate. GödelString retains ownership and full rights to the master tapes until fully reimbursed. Any work done for free is considered speculative unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Clients are responsible for backing up their data at the end of each session or blocks of sessions.

GödelString is not responsible for media left on premises between sessions. Time spent backing up is considered part of session time. As a courtesy we keep a backup of client materials on our drives for 2 weeks. A $10/gigabyte fee will be charged for restoration of this data. After 2 weeks all data will be removed.

Clients must remove their instruments and equipment at the end of the session or session block. GödelString is not responisble for any equipment left on premises at any time.
