Rates & Terms of Service
Last update:  January 2008


"Feel free to call and discuss these rates. I will work with you to achieve the best results for your budget." - Eric

All voiceover & audio post-production rates assume delivery via email or Eric's "Client Download Center" on the Web.
Some productions will require the use of CD delivery due to the number of files or length of the production, and for those productions there will be no extra charge for delivering the production on one CD. Duplicate CDs available at the rates below.

Invoices for regular, recurring voiceover clients are sent once per month on the first day of each month, due upon receipt. Other projects are invoiced as they are completed. Larger projects may require a partial up-front payment.

Rates subject to change at any time.

Terms of Use


By submitting a script or requesting any service(s) from Eric Wylie Productions, the requestor (user) agrees to abide by the following Terms of Use:

Please Note: Overall, the goal in offering the services provided by Eric Wylie Productions is to provide expertise in the area of communications and make life a little easier for producers and business owners by providing quality work at an affordable price. To the best of the owner's ability, reasonable assistance will be granted to clients without unnecessary billing. However, "time is money," and clients will be billed for actual services rendered.
 

  1. User acknowledges that he or she has read and agrees to the rates for services as posted at the Web site: www.ewproductions.com
     

  2. User is submitting a script free from errors. Reasonable accommodations will be made for typographical errors in copy, but scripts needing to be re-recorded due to errors in script text will be charged as if a new production is being submitted (double-check your script before sending it).
     

  3. User understands that they will not be charged for a production until it meets their needs. Reasonable accommodation will be made if certain styles of voice or production elements are not to the client's liking. Again, time is money, and if necessary details were not included in the original instructions, additional charges may apply. For larger jobs, partial payment may be requested before work begins.
     

  4. Rates quoted are for single markets only. If scripts are to be used in multiple markets, user agrees to disclose this fact to Eric Wylie Productions. Additional charges may apply for productions used in multiple markets.
     

  5. In the unlikely event an agreement cannot be reached between the user and Eric Wylie Productions, productions deemed unacceptable for use by the client/user may not be used in any form, including being broadcast or publicly used in any way.

Files submitted before 3:00 p.m. on Friday will be returned by Monday morning.
     

  7. Under the music license purchased by Eric Wylie Productions, music cannot be resold as single elements. Music will only be included in final, mixed productions.
     

  8. User understands that there is a direct relationship between the success of the final production and the details provided to Eric Wylie Productions to create that production.
     

  9. Eric Wylie Productions reserves the right to use any production, in whole or in part, as demonstration pieces for Eric Wylie Productions. However, a production that contains information proprietary to the client, such as information intended only for the internal use of the client company, that they themselves would not make public, would not be used in a demonstration. Additionally, Eric Wylie Productions would not use information in a demo prior to release of the client's first use.
     

  10. User agrees that it will not hold liable or take legal action against Eric Wylie, Eric Wylie Productions, or OnHoldWebStore.com for any losses or injuries, no matter how remote, related to any production, document or advice this business produces.

  12. User understands that these rules will occasionally be amended with or without notice.
     

  13. Eric Wylie Productions reserves the right to refuse service to any client for any reason, including, but not limited to, the subject matter of the production and the intended use of the production.
