Terms of service
The short version: you own your music, you pay for the work, I do the work properly, and we both stay honest. The long version is below.
1. Who you're working with
Perfect Driver Audio and Perfect Driver Music are run by Matthew Anthony Willems ("I", "me"), based in Nevada, USA. These terms cover this website and any audio services you book through it or by email ("the work"). By requesting an estimate or booking work, you agree to them.
2. Estimates and booking
Standard services have the starting prices shown on the site. Custom work (finish my track, create together, sound design, custom audio and anything else marked "estimate") is priced in a written estimate after I've heard the project. A booking is confirmed when we've agreed on the scope, price and start date in writing (email counts) and the deposit has arrived. Prices are in USD and may change, but never on a job that's already confirmed.
3. Payment
Payment is 50% up front to book and 50% on completion (when the finished files are ready), by Zelle, Venmo or wire transfer. You pay any fees charged by your bank or payment provider. Final files are released once the balance is paid. Late or missing balances pause the job.
4. Turnaround
Turnaround times on the site (for example "first version in 5–7 working days") are targets, not guarantees. Late files, missing stems or changes in scope move the timeline. Rush turnaround is available for an extra fee when my schedule allows.
5. Revisions
Each service includes the revisions listed on the site (for example 2 for mix & master, 2 for mastering, 3 rounds of feedback for finish my track). Revisions mean adjustments to the agreed work. New parts, a new arrangement or a new direction count as new work and get a separate estimate.
6. Cancellations and refunds
If you cancel before I start, your deposit is refunded minus any payment fees. Once work has started, the deposit covers time already spent and isn't refundable. If I can't finish the job for reasons on my side, you get back whatever you've paid for work not delivered.
7. Your material
You promise that you own or have permission to use everything you send me: stems, samples, vocals, loops, references and artwork. That includes clearing any samples. If someone makes a claim because material you supplied wasn't cleared, you're responsible for it, not me. Reference tracks are only used to guide the sound and are never copied into your work.
8. Who owns what
You keep all rights to your music. Once you've paid in full, the finished mixes, masters and edits I deliver are yours to release and sell. I keep the rights to my own tools, techniques, presets, templates and any sounds I made before or outside your project. For production work, credit, songwriting and publishing splits and ownership are set out in a short written agreement before the job starts. If there's no agreement, we'll sort it out in writing before release.
9. Confidentiality
Your unreleased music and project details stay private. I won't share, post or play your work, or name you as a client, without your written permission. That includes clips posted on this site. Production work stays confidential unless you want me credited.
10. What I can't promise
I promise careful, professional work. I can't promise commercial results such as label signings, plays, chart positions or streaming numbers. Coaching and 1-on-1 sessions are educational. How you use them is up to you.
11. Files and backups
Please keep your own backups. I keep project files for about two months after delivery so revisions stay easy, then delete them. I'm not responsible for files lost after delivery.
12. Liability
To the extent the law allows, my total liability for any job is limited to the amount you paid for that job. I'm not liable for indirect losses such as lost profits or missed opportunities.
13. The website
This site and its content are provided "as is". The catalog, cover art and audio previews belong to Perfect Driver Music and its artists and licensors. Artist, DJ, plugin and brand names, and any software shown in screenshots, belong to their owners and are shown for reference only, with no endorsement implied. Links to other sites (Beatport, SoundCloud, social media) are covered by those sites' own terms. Don't use the booking form to send spam, malware or links to programs or installers. Those are blocked and deleted.
14. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA. If there's a problem, let's talk first. If we can't resolve it, disputes go to the courts of Washoe County, Nevada.
15. Changes
I'll update these terms when the services or the site change. The date at the top shows the latest version. A job that's already confirmed stays under the terms that applied when you booked it.
