Please note that bookings are only confirmed upon receipt of a 50% deposit payment which must be paid within seven days from the receipt of booking email from the Company. By making your deposit payment, you expressly agree to be bound by all the Demo production Service Terms outlined in this Agreement. 

The balance will be due on receipt of invoice when the final edits have been made and prior to the final copy being sent to the Client.  The Company retains ownership of version of the Demo until full and final payment has been received and the client is not permitted to use it in any form until this time. 

iv) Deposit Refunds

Excluding Gaming or Animation Voiceover demo bookings, a client may cancel a recording session booking and request a full refund of deposit at any time within 14 days from the date of deposit payment. After this time or if we have undertaken any work relating to the booking (for example script preparation, recording, or any other aspect relating to the production of the demo), the deposit becomes non-refundable.  

v) Session Postponement by Client

Please contact Josie@elementsdemos.com to request postponement of your recording session;

There is no additional postponement fee where a Client requests postponement of a recording session at least 72 hours prior to the booked session date. The client will be required to agree upon a new recording session date within seven days from the date of initial postponement request.  The new booking date must be within 6 months of the postponed date. 

Any postponement requests (for any reason) made within 72 hours of the scheduled booking session may incur a postponement fee of £150.

If you cancel your booking within 72 hours of the booked recording session date, you will forfeit your full deposit as well as become liable for a cancellation fee calculated at 50% of the full booking fee less the deposit already paid. This cancellation fee will be payable before 18:00 GMT on the date of original booking.  Failure to complete payment by this time means that you will be charged the full demo session fee balance.

In exceptional circumstances, the Company may choose to waive the cancellation fees but such waiver is at the discretion of the Company’s Management. 

vii) Cancellations and Session Postponement by Company
