Terms of Service

Quick Overview

Welcome to The Studio: by Sessions Boutique — a global platform that connects Users with world-class Musicians and Providers for real-time, live remote recording sessions.

By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Company Information

The Studio: by Sessions Boutique ("The Studio," "we," "our," or "us") is operated by Sessions Boutique, LLC, based in Tampa, Florida, United States.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, subscribing, or using the app in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.

If you are using the app on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your country) to use The Studio.

The Studio is open to Users, Musicians, and Providers worldwide, subject to applicable local laws.

4. Service Description

The Studio provides an online platform that enables Users to:

• Book and participate in real-time, live audio/video recording sessions with Musicians and Providers.
• Communicate with them during and after sessions.
• Receive final audio or project files once the live session is complete.

Musicians and Providers perform their services independently through the platform.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

The Studio operates on a subscription-based model for Users:

Subscribers may also receive discounts on future Add-Ons or services if made available.

Payments are processed securely through third-party providers such as Stripe.

Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled before the next billing cycle.

6. Add-Ons and Additional Services

7. Booking Policy and Availability

Users may book as many live sessions as they wish, subject to each Musician's or Provider's availability and the platform's scheduling capacity. The Studio operates a fair-access scheduling system designed to balance demand among Users and Musicians.

Sessions may be booked for:

• Your own solo projects
• Projects for your band or musical group in which you are a direct member
• Internal projects for a company or organization you represent

You may not resell, sublicense, or share your account, subscription, or booked sessions with third parties. Using The Studio to deliver or fulfill services for third parties outside your own projects is strictly prohibited and may result in suspension or termination without refund.

The Studio aims to provide consistent and fair access to live sessions for all actively booking subscribers. While we work to maximize overall availability, actual session access may vary depending on musician schedules, time zones, instrument demand, and overall platform activity. Session availability is not guaranteed and may fluctuate based on these operational considerations.

If, despite good-faith booking attempts, a User's completed sessions fall materially below typical platform availability in a given billing cycle, The Studio may, at its sole discretion, issue a non-cash service credit (e.g., priority booking token or an additional month of service). Credits have no cash value and may expire.

To qualify for such a credit, Users must:

• (i) submit complete session materials;
• (ii) offer at least three (3) reasonable time windows over two (2) different days;
• (iii) accept reassignment to other qualified Musicians or Providers when necessary; and
• (iv) have no cancellations or no-shows in that cycle.

Force majeure events, platform maintenance, and operational constraints are excluded.

If a Musician or Provider faces an emergency more than forty (40) hours before a scheduled session, the User may submit a change request. Emergencies within forty hours require mutual agreement between User and Musician via the in-app message system to avoid a no-show designation.

8. No Refunds for Completed or Missed Live Sessions

All sessions are live and interactive, similar to in-studio experiences.

Refunds are not available once a subscription becomes active, including for completed, missed, or partially attended sessions.

An exception may apply if the User has not booked any session during the current billing cycle and submits a refund request before the cycle ends. Refunds, when granted, are at The Studio's sole discretion and may be reduced by transaction fees.

9. Communication and Conduct

All Users, Musicians, and Providers must maintain professionalism and respect.

Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or misconduct may result in suspension or termination.

10. Independent Contractors

Orchestra musicians provided through add-on services are independent contractors, not employees or agents of Sessions Boutique.

They are responsible for their own taxes, licenses, and legal obligations.
