CLIENT ASSETS AND HARD DRIVES

The Studios facility operates strict security policies, and as such files and assets from clients should be sent in advance of the session to allow adequate time to safely ingest files. All files sent to PSDPL are scanned for viruses and any client hard drives bought in may require files to be transferred to other machines first, in order to follow our security processes and as such may impede the smooth running of the booked session. We operate a ‘blocked USB port’ policy and need to ‘whitelist; portable harddrives in order to ‘allow’ them to be connected directly to Production systems - so please be aware this may eat into chargeable booking time - so it’s always better to send files in advance.

SOUND LEVELS

The Client hereby acknowledges that the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 have established that prolonged exposure to high noise levels above 85 dB(A) may cause damage to hearing and that both studios and studio users are required by law to keep exposures as low as reasonably practicable.

RECORDINGS AND MATERIALS

Notwithstanding any other provision contained within the Conditions the Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that all risk in the Materials when in transit or otherwise off the Company's premises shall vest in the Client

Although secured with considerable redundancy including on and off-site duplicates, the companies backups are not guaranteed. As such the client is advised to make their own provisions for further secure backup of recorded or master materials and not be entirely reliant on PSDPL backups. We therefore recommend the client requests from PSDPL any master files at the completion of a project it wishes to backup for its own peace of mind.
