Delivery and File Formats
Deliverables are delivered electronically via secure link, cloud folder, or email. Standard formats are listed in the Quote. Requests for additional formats may incur extra charges. Lantern will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet delivery dates; timely Client feedback is required to maintain schedule.
Client Responsibilities
- Provide clean scripts, pronunciation guides, direction, and reference files.
- Give timely feedback to avoid delays.
- Ensure all provided materials are properly licensed and non-infringing.
Intellectual Property and Licensing
Upon full payment, Client receives a non-exclusive, worldwide license for the specified uses. Lantern retains copyright in raw recordings unless a buyout is agreed. Exclusive rights require a written agreement and additional fees with scope, territory, duration, and media specified.
Lantern may request credit when Deliverables are used publicly and may showcase non-confidential work in portfolios unless Client requests confidentiality in writing or signs an NDA.
AI/Synthetic Voice Usage Policy (Expanded)
- Client agrees not to use any portion of the recording or performance for purposes other than those specified in the initial Agreement, including creation of synthetic voices or machine learning.
- Client shall not simulate Talent’s voice or likeness, nor create any synthesized or “digital double” version of Talent.
- Client shall not sell or transfer any part of the recordings or performances to third parties without Talent’s knowledge and consent.
- Client shall not enter into agreements or contracts on behalf of Talent involving recordings or performances without Talent’s knowledge and consent.
- Recordings stored digitally must be protected from unauthorized access. If stored in the cloud, Client agrees to use encryption or other up-to-date safeguards.
Confidentiality and NDA
Confidential information, including unreleased scripts and business-sensitive content, will be kept confidential by both parties. Lantern may request a signed NDA for highly sensitive projects. Confidentiality does not apply to information already public, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
Portfolio and Promotional Use
Lantern may display non-confidential Deliverables in a public portfolio or use portions for marketing and self-promotion unless Client requests confidentiality in writing or signs an NDA.
Warranties and Disclaimers
Lantern uses industry-standard practices and warrants that Deliverables produced solely by Lantern will not knowingly infringe third-party copyrights, except for Client-supplied content. Except as expressly provided, all other warranties, express or implied, are disclaimed.
Limitation of Liability
Lantern’s total liability arising from or related to these Terms or Services is capped at the total fees paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim. Lantern is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits. Lantern is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its control.
Indemnification
Client will indemnify, defend, and hold Lantern harmless from claims arising from Client-provided materials, misuse of Deliverables, or breach of these Terms.
