Introduction

My Friend’s Basement LLC (also known as “My Friend’s Basement” and/or “studio”) will provide the client—defined as the individual(s) who have submitted their personal identification information during the membership checkout process and have checked the box indicating agreement to these terms and conditions, as well as any business partner or podcast co-host—with studio space and related marketing services in accordance with the specifications set forth below. This contract begins on the date the client accepts these terms and conditions.

Terms & Conditions

Level 1 - Friends Program provides the following services:

Level 2 - Friends Program+ provides the following services:

Level 3 - BFF

Level 4 - Full Production

24-hour file turnaround is not included in this subscription because the detailed editing will likely take longer than 24 hours to complete. File turnaround times will be mutually agreed upon by all parties once the package is purchased.

Level 5 - 4K Production

24-hour file turnaround is not included in this subscription because it will likely take an editor more than 24 hours to complete the edit of the client's podcast. File turnaround times will be mutually agreed upon by all parties once the package is purchased.

Payment

Initial Payment: One hundred percent (100%) of the subscription payment for the chosen level is due at the time of signing up for the membership.

Recurring Payments: Recurring payments happen every month. On the anniversary date of the initial sign-up, the client will be charged for the subsequent month’s subscription. If the anniversary date falls on the last day of the month and the following month does not include that date—for example, if the sign-up date is January 31—then the subscription fee may be charged on the last day of that month (February 28 or 29, as applicable).

Payment Method & Failure: Payment will be automatically withdrawn from the payment method provided by the client, and the client authorizes the studio to pre-authorize cards for payment. If payment fails after three automatic attempts, the membership will be canceled and the client will lose access to all services associated with the membership.

Refunds

All subscription fees become non-refundable five (5) days after the payment is processed. If a cancellation request is made within five days of processing, a full refund may be issued. After this period, subscriptions are non-refundable. For cancellations made after the 5-day period, access to services will continue until the end of the current billing cycle, but no pro-rated refunds will be provided. In the event of billing errors or issues with service delivery, clients should contact the studio promptly to discuss potential remedies.

Upgrading Membership

The client may upgrade their membership at any time by selecting a higher tier through the subscription portal link: https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/eVa1577Jcfn3cgMdQQ  

Upon upgrading, the new membership benefits become effective immediately. If the upgrade occurs mid-payment period, the fee difference for the remaining portion of that billing period will be calculated on a prorated basis. The client will be charged the upgraded membership rate on the next billing cycle. No refunds or credits will be provided for the difference in rates for the current period once the upgrade has been processed.

Canceling Membership

The client may cancel their membership at any time by using the subscription portal link: https://billing.stripe.com/p/login/eVa1577Jcfn3cgMdQQ

Upon cancellation, the contract will remain in effect until the end of the current billing period, and no refunds will be issued for any remaining days within that period. Continued access to membership benefits will cease after the expiration of the current payment period.

Editing Revisions

Studio will provide two revisions per deliverable at no cost to the client. Any additional revisions will be billed at $50 per hour and payment is due within one week of notification.

If this bill remains unpaid for 15 days, the studio will pause sending all deliverables to the client. The client's membership fee will continue to be charged after this pause unless the client cancels their membership.

Additional Services

Clients may request additional services beyond those provided in their selected membership package. The pricing for any such additional services shall be mutually agreed upon by both parties prior to the commencement of those services. Payment in full for the additional services must be received before any work begins.

Outsourcing Work

The studio is permitted to outsource any work required outside of recordings. This includes, but is not limited to, video editing, clip editing, and thumbnail editing.

Signing this document does not establish an exclusive relationship between My Friend’s Basement and client. Both client and My Friend’s Basement retain the right to work with other parties at their discretion. Clients retain full ownership of content they create while utilizing the recording studio provided by My Friend’s Basement.
