Client(s) are responsible for checking any copy or scripts for mistakes and legal issues prior to submission to Walker New Media. Walker New Media accepts no liability for these issues.

 

Copyright

 

Walker New Media retains copyright and ownership of all recorded material voiced. If you would like full ownership and copyright of any recorded material, then a 'buyout' can be arranged at an additional cost. Permission must be obtained if you plan to use the recorded material in any other form from the medium originally produced. (Example: Voiceover that was recorded for a radio advertisement that is then to be used in a television advertisement). Supplemental fees will be incurred, and Walker New Media must be notified of any planned usage changes for licensing cost calculations. Failure to notify and pay for correct usage is a breach of international copyright law and therefore the copyright is retained by me to use accordingly.
