Urchin Studios Terms and Conditions

Urchin Studios believes the creation and recording of music should be an uninhibited and focused experience.

Therefore, by clearly setting out the conditions of studio hire below, any confusion or disputes can be avoided.



1. The session starts at the time agreed by the client when booking. It is the client's responsibility to make sure they arrive on time. The studio reserves the right to charge from the agreed start time, regardless of whether the client has arrived.

2. All audio and mix data (i.e. "The Master Recordings") created or recorded during the session remain the property of the studio until session fees have been paid IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

3. The client will not be allowed to take away any part of their recording until full payment has been received for the session.

4. Once the session has finished, it is the responsibility of the client to ensure the security of their recordings. Urchin Studios is not responsible for keeping backups of recordings after the session has ended.

5. The client is responsible for the care of their own equipment and ensuring it is in a safe condition for use in the studio.

6. The client is responsible for ensuring the compatibility of any audio or data files which they intend to use during the session. Our staff are more than happy to advise you on compatibility issues.

7. In the event of an equipment failure severe enough to interrupt the session or cause the loss of recorded material or mix data, the studio's liability shall be limited to a refund, or to replace the equivalent session time lost as soon as can reasonably be arranged.

8. The client is responsible for their own noise levels with the studio, and for supplying their own hearing protection where appropriate.

10. The studio reserves the right to terminate a session without compensation, should a client's behaviour become such that they are endangering themselves and/or others, and/or at risk of causing damage to studio equipment.
