Property:  The property in the Goods shall remain with the Company until payment in full has been made to the Company by the Client for the Goods and all other sums due to the Company at the date of delivery of the Goods.  Where full payment has not been made to the Company and the Client uses the Goods, the property in the Goods shall be retained by the Company in so far as such Goods are identifiable.

Masters:  It is assumed that all Clients material, not originated by the Company, is a copy of the original material such that the expense of replacing it if damaged or lost by the Company, is only that of making a new copy.  Originals must be declared as such by the Client and are left with the Company at the Client’s risk.  The Company is not liable for any other loss.

Retention: All recordings, audio and video, will be retained by The Company for a period of not less than 2 years from the recording date. After this time we cannot guarantee that the original recordings will still be available. Clients are advised to ensure that they have sufficient backups of all materials that they wish to retain after this period.
