Cell phones must be turned off before recording session begins. They ring while we're recording, they waste your time and
money while in the studio, and the reception sucks here anyway. If you need to make a call, you are welcome to limited usage
of the house phone for both local and long-distance. If you are expecting a call, please notify your caller of the times you will
be in session. If you need someone to get in touch with you while you are here in the studio, give them the studio number.

Payment is due at the end of completed recording session. If any additional services are rendered such as mastering, mix-
down, etc., payment for such services will be negotiated before leaving the studio. Final "master" recording will not be

you get hurt, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE! WE ARE NOT YOUR PARENTS! If you need guidance bring them. BE
SENSIBLE. Use your head, don't lift more than you can safely carry, and if you need help, ask! And, please, don't fall down
