Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by The Orange Lounge Recording Studio (“we,” “us,” or “our”), and your relationship with us when you inquire about or book our recording and post-production services.
By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.
These Terms apply in addition to any written agreement, quote, or booking confirmation we provide for a specific session or project. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed project agreement, the signed agreement will prevail for that project.
About Our Services
The Orange Lounge Recording Studio provides professional audio recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production services from our facility in Toronto, Ontario. Services may include, without limitation, music recording, voice-over, editorial, ADR, sound design, and related deliverables as agreed for each project.
Service details, deliverables, timelines, and fees are confirmed on a project-by-project basis.
Website Use
Permitted use
You may use our website for lawful purposes only, including learning about our services and contacting us regarding bookings or inquiries.
Prohibited use
You agree not to:
- Use the website in any way that violates applicable law
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data
- Interfere with the proper functioning of the website
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through our forms
- Use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or overload the website without our permission
- Upload or transmit malware or harmful code
We may suspend or restrict access to our website if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.
Inquiries and Bookings
No guarantee of availability
Submitting a contact or inquiry form does not create a binding booking. A session or project is confirmed only when we agree in writing (including email) on date, scope, and fees.
Accurate information
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when contacting us or booking services. We rely on this information to schedule sessions and deliver work to specification.
Deposits and payment
- A deposit may be required to confirm a booking. Deposit amounts and due dates will be communicated at the time of booking.
- Session and project fees are due according to the payment terms stated in your quote or invoice.
- Late payments may result in suspension of work or cancellation of upcoming sessions.
Cancellations and rescheduling
- Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session.
- Cancellations with less notice may forfeit the deposit or incur a cancellation fee equal to 100% of the booked session fee.
- We reserve the right to reschedule or cancel sessions due to equipment failure, illness, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will work with you to reschedule or provide a refund for fees paid for the affected session.
No-shows
If you fail to arrive for a confirmed session without prior notice, the session may be charged in full and the time slot may not be rebooked.
Studio Conduct and Safety
When attending sessions at our facility, you agree to:
- Follow reasonable instructions from our staff and engineers
- Treat our equipment, rooms, and personnel with care and respect
- Comply with applicable laws and studio policies regarding conduct, substances, and safety
- Supervise any minors in your party; minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult unless otherwise agreed in writing
We reserve the right to refuse service or end a session if conduct poses a safety risk, damages equipment, disrupts other clients, or violates these Terms. Fees may still apply for time used.
Client Materials and Deliverables
Materials you provide
You represent that you have the rights necessary to provide any audio, video, scripts, music, or other materials you bring to a session or send to us for production (“Client Materials”). You are responsible for obtaining licenses, permissions, and clearances required for your project.
Deliverables
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will deliver agreed audio deliverables in the formats and specifications confirmed for your project. Additional revisions, formats, or rush delivery may incur additional fees.
Recording ownership and licensing
Upon full payment, you own the final deliverables produced specifically for your project, subject to any third-party rights in Client Materials.
We may retain backup copies of session files for a reasonable period for disaster recovery and archival purposes unless you request deletion and no legal or contractual obligation requires retention.
Intellectual Property
Our website content
All content on this website—including text, graphics, logos, images, audio samples (where applicable), and design—is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content without our prior written permission.
Portfolio and promotional use
Unless you opt out in writing, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use your project name, logo, or brief project description—and, where agreed separately, audio excerpts or stills—for our portfolio, website, and marketing materials. We will not disclose confidential project details without your consent.
Confidentiality
We treat client project information as confidential in the ordinary course of business. However, we cannot guarantee confidentiality of information transmitted over the internet. For projects requiring formal confidentiality obligations, a separate non-disclosure agreement may be required.

Our services are provided with professional skill and care consistent with industry standards for recording and post-production studios.
Except as expressly stated in a written project agreement, our website and services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not warrant that our website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from your use of our website or services.
- Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to our website or services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific session or project giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

- Your use of our website or services

Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Before initiating legal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us so we can attempt to resolve the matter informally.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
