VGen Policy

I have the right to refuse or cancel commissions. All sales are final and will not issue refunds.

During my streams, my work may be publicly displayed. If the client wishes to keep the production confidential, an extra 50% fee will apply.

The client is entitled to a maximum of three revisions of the delivered track. All minor details, such as mixing, mastering, and effects, must be specified by the client for modification.

Modifying the composition or recordings will not be considered as minor details and will not count as a revision but a new commission entirely.

Music from a third party will not be sampled, resampled, rearranged or remixed unless a license is included in the initial proposal. The client must arrange for and disclose the license to me (darkbluecat).

Remix or rearrangement of a third-party work can be arranged but with limited usage and liability.

My DAW sessions (.flp or other formats) will not be delivered. However, project bones or stems can be delivered with special arrangements.

Upon delivery, the client will be granted a limited usage license. Copyright, performing rights, synchronization, and master use rights for the commission may belong partially or entirely to darkbluecat, depending on the case. Different licensing rights can be arranged with clearance, special payments, and royalties.

The commissioned work may not be uploaded to music distribution platforms, including but not limited to: streaming services (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc.), music stores (Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon Music), radio, TV, cinema, physical releases, software (including video games), or content match services (YouTube’s Content ID). 

In case special licensing and agreement is required, it can be discussed.

The commissioned work may never be used in any blockchain-related technology, including NFTs, cryptocurrency, or any future inventions in that space.

The client will receive a license to use the commissioned work ONLY in their social media and multimedia streaming platforms accounts including: YouTube (video and livestream), Twitch (Livestream and VOD), Instagram, Facebook (Live or Video), TikTok and similar, including monetized channels.

The authorship, copyright and title will be retained on darkbluecat, and the client cannot use the elements outside the disclosed sites in the agreement. 

In case special "buy-out" is required, it can be discussed.

The client cannot sublicense or allow the usage of the commissioned media to 3rd parties without express written permission by the copyright owner (darkbluecat).

A detailed license agreement will be disclosed before the final delivery of the commissioned work.

For Original songs, remixes, arrangements, and instrumentals will also require the client to have a 

account for royalties clearance and publishing into media outlets.

The audio will be delivered in a single uncompressed WAVE format (.wav) file, 44.100hz/16 bits (CD quality), mastered. A .mp3 or .flac file can be also delivered at no extra cost.

For instrumentals, a non-mastered version will also be included.

The client can choose between E-mail, Discord DM, or Twitter DM.

All times listed are maximum times. Delivery time may be shorter depending on the complexity of the commission.

If I estimate that the request will take more time to deliver, I will inform the client in advance during the first demo stage.

Mic config

The work will be done remotely using RustDesk. The customer must execute the program to allow the engineer to work. The customer must also be present during the entire session to assist the engineer.

The customer has 7 days to contact the engineer after the service gets finished in case of experiencing technical difficulties. The warranty only covers an additional session to check the system and find a solution to the issue.

No refunds will be issued after delivery.

Discord and RustDesk will be used for communication.

Send me references of music you would like to cover and let's explore the possibilities.

I retain partial rights in my song productions, including rights related to composition, master use, and publishing. This allows you to monetize up to 50% of the earnings generated from music streaming platforms. However, please note that you cannot produce CDs, sell the song to third parties, or create derivative works. If you are interested in retaining full rights, the cost would be three times the value of the production.
