Guarantee

All work is guaranteed to be as good as the technology allows, considering the original source material provided by the client. Total liability, including any possible consequential damages, is strictly limited to a re-do of the work supplied, if unsatisfactory for technical reasons, or at our option, a refund of monies paid by the client, less any transportation expenses paid on his behalf. Client materials will be handled with the greatest of care, but no liability will be assumed for loss or damage to original materials supplied by the client. The client assumes full responsibility for determining that material is suitable for the purpose intended. Ask about shipping methods and arrangements BEFORE shipping anything!
We produce a remastered finished work from the original source recording to a new medium. We return BOTH recordings to the client. If extra time is required for restoration and/or enhancement work, the hourly rate applies.

Copyright and Legal Requirements:

Clients agree to assume all risks and responsibility for copyright issues. It is presumed that all licences or permissions, that may be required under applicable national and international leglislation, have been obtained from the copyright holders or regulating bodies, prior to submitting the materials for work required.
Generally, copyright legislation allows an individual to make or to have made, copies for his/her own use, provided the originals are owned by the individual. Material recorded prior to 1947 *may* be in the public domain and thus be free from any such restrictions. It is always recommended that reference to competent legal counsel be made where there is any concern about these issues.

It is legal to make a copy of a copyrighted sound recording as long as both of the following two conditions are met:
1. You own the original source recording (it was purchased or created by you), and
2. You will keep the copy for your own use and agree not to distribute it for profit.

If you are the copyright owner or the work is in the public domain there are no restrictions.
The copyright laws allow the person that has purchased a musical recording to make a copy of the music they purchased on a different medium. For example, it is legal to buy a CD and then record it onto a cassette to listen to on a portable walkman. It is not legal to give or sell the cassette to someone else.

Furthermore, copyright laws will allow copies of a recording to be made for archiving or safekeeping. Often you will see this on copyrighted software, and the companies even advise making a copy for in case the original copy gets damaged.

Our policy is to perform restorations and transfers in one copy only. For multiple copies we require that the work be in public domain or proof of copyright.

Soundrestoration.com specifically prohibits the use of our professional restoration and remastering service for the purpose of duplicating, distribution or re-distribution, publishing, broadcasting, netcasting or any other form of digital or analog copying and/or distribution. We monitor and enforce compliance.
