TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 
  1. Reaching the price agreement and sending the completed production order form or signing a cooperation agreement provides the basis for commencing the recording project.
  2. The text of the recording should be sent via an e-mail attachment.  The attachment should contain the information about voice-over artist selection as well as interpretation guidelines (phonetic pronunciation of foreign language words, acronyms and uncommon expressions).
  3. Each recording date is fixed individually and depends upon the choice of the voice-over artist, the technical complexity of the recording and the length of the recorded material.
  4. Corrections made due to faults for which RPM is responsible are free of charge, while substantial modifications introduced after the recording are subject to payment (e.g. change of text, voice-over artist etc.). Their price depends on the selected voice-over artist and the technical complexity of the material to be modified.
  5. In the case of advertising spots - if the production has not been accepted – music can be changed free of charge (in the case the music proposed for project is rejected several times by the ordering party, the ordering party is directed to an online music system to make a self-reliant selection of the music).
  6. The material is sent to the ordering party by e-mail in the form of a single MP3 file (voice-over artist recordings: mono, MP3 128kb, other productions: stereo, MP3 256 kb). Converting sounds into other formats and splitting into multiple files requires additional agreements.
  7. The standard duration of the right to use the sound in mass media - 1 year; in telephone announcements - unlimited; in multimedia presentations - unlimited; in case of other forms and duration extensions, the prices are negotiated individually..
  8. The prices provided in the price list apply to the recording of one advertisement up to 60 seconds. In the case of presentations / films - the prices corresponding to the number of pages, 1 page means an A4 size page, 1800 characters without spaces. For longer and non-standard recordings, the prices are determined individually. The prices presented on the website exclude VAT and do not constitute a commercial offer within the meaning of the Civil Code.
  9. In case there are any doubts as to the valuation of the material prepared for the recording, RPM reserves the right to review the material in order to set its price accurately and definitively.
  10. RPM has the right to refuse acceptance of any material supplied for the production project without giving a reason.

  12. In case when the ordering party fails to select a voice-over artist for the production project (this selection will be commissioned to RPM) and the material is not accepted, the costs of changing the voice-over artist are borne by the ordering party.

  14. RPM is not liable for the production content (such liability is always borne by the client, regardless of the circumstances).

  16. The ordering party is obliged to verify and acknowledge the receipt of the production project within three working days after RPM sends (makes available) the production project. If no objections are reported within this period, this is taken to be equivalent with final acceptance of the production project.
