This document is operated in accordance with the Consumer Contract Act and the Specified Commercial Transactions Act of Japan.

2. Booking and Application

To request a session, please use the official contact form or call 045-341-3148. A booking is considered confirmed only after the Studio accepts the request and the required deposit is received. The Studio will respond to all booking inquiries within 24 hours. Clients under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian and provide written consent.

3. Pricing and Payment Terms

All prices listed on the Services page include the Japanese consumption tax of 10%.

A deposit of 30% of the total estimated cost is required to secure the booking. The remaining balance must be paid upon completion of the session or prior to the final delivery of files. For B2B (business-to-business) transactions, payment is permitted within 14 days of the invoice date. The Studio reserves the right to withhold final delivery of files until full payment is confirmed.

4. Cancellation and Change Policy

Booking changes or cancellations are free of charge if made at least 3 days before the scheduled session start date. For cancellations made less than 3 days prior, the 30% deposit is non-refundable. If the Studio must cancel a session due to internal reasons, a full refund will be issued. For details on data handling, please see our Privacy Policy.

5. Production Process and Revisions

For mixing and mastering services, clients are entitled to a maximum of 3 rounds of revisions after the first delivery.

6. Ownership of Rights and Delivery

Ownership and rights to the resulting audio recordings (the Masters) are transferred to the client only upon 100% payment of all applicable fees. The Studio retains the right to use the work in its professional portfolio unless the client explicitly opts out in writing. The Studio assumes no responsibility for disputes regarding copyrights or performance rights of the recorded material. For more details, see the Master Rights Guide.
