Podcast Studio Rental Agreement & Equipment SLA

Booked studio time includes setup, soundcheck, recording, and file export. Studio sessions must conclude precisely at the scheduled end time to allow 15 minutes of buffer for studio sanitization and SD card offloading prior to the next creator booking. Overtime is billed at 1.5x regular hourly rates in 30-minute increments.

Renter acknowledges that all broadcast hardware (Shure SM7B dynamic microphones, Cloudlifters, Rodecaster Pro II consoles, Sony FX3 / A7S III cameras, and studio boom arms) are in pristine working condition. Renter is strictly liable for replacement cost of any equipment damaged due to spills, dropped items, or rough handling.

Renter must bring a high-speed USB-C SSD (e.g. SanDisk Extreme Pro, Samsung T7) or select the Cloud Backup tier. Studio retains raw multi-track WAV and 4K ProRes/MP4 video files on local server storage for exactly seven (7) calendar days post-session, after which all project media is permanently purged.

No open beverage containers without secure lids permitted near sound consoles. Absolutely no taping, pinning, or attaching signs to the acoustic fabric wall panels or bass traps. Booth doors must remain firmly latched during recording to maintain STC 50 sound isolation and NC-20 ambient noise criteria.

Renter retains 100% full copyright, intellectual property, and commercial monetization rights to all recorded content created within the facility. Renter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the studio facility against any copyright infringement, defamation, or regulatory violations arising from published content.
