PP-1: Payment Procedure:
- a) The Client will make their payment to Egomania Records, not to the Artisan that they are hiring through Egomania Records.
- b) Payable to:
Egomania Records
P.O. Box 370069, Reseda CA 91337-0069

PP-2: Method of Payment:
- a) The Client may choose to pay Egomania Records via personal check, company check, money order or cashier's check.

PP-3: The Agreed Fee:
- a) The person that contacts the Client - whether it is Jon Dunmore or a chosen Artisan - will quote Client a price (called the Agreed Fee) after discussing the Client's project in detail.
- b) In the event of an Agreed Fee being indeterminate (in the case of "studio time", as an example) an Agreed Fee will be determined as an "estimate", based on a process agreed upon by the Client and the Artisan, whether that be hourly, or a flat rate with options to extend, etc.
- c) All Agreed Fees (whether they be exact quoted prices or special conditions) must be documented and e-mailed or posted to all the parties involved in the transaction - i.e. the Client, the Artisan and Egomania Records.

PP-4: Deposit / Payment Due:
- a) The Client will be invoiced when all details of the project are finalized and the Artisan is chosen and available. Invoices from Egomania Records may be in the form of standard Invoice Forms (via e-mail) or Hiring Agreements (either posted or e-mailed, for more detailed projects).
- b) A deposit of at least half the Agreed Fee is required upon receiving an Invoice or signing a Hiring Agreement, and is due at least two weeks prior to Client's project/ engagement commencement date.
- c) Remainder of the Agreed Fee will be due to Egomania Records two weeks prior to commencement of Client's project date.
- - -i. In cases where the Client contacts Egomania Records within two weeks of their scheduled event, the full Agreed Fee is required as soon as possible prior to the Client's event date.
- d) The Client's deposit is refundable up to two weeks prior to the project's commencement. Exactly two weeks before the project's commencement, the Client's deposit becomes non-refundable. (E.g. Client's project is slated for the 22nd of a month, therefore at 12:01am on the 8th of that month, Client's deposit becomes non-refundable)
- e) Non-payment of deposit prior to two weeks before Client's project commencement does not necessarily mean Egomania Records will not work with Client, but it does mean that Egomania Records cannot guarantee Artisan availability for Client's chosen date(s).
- f) In the case of non-payment of deposit fee prior to two weeks before Client's project commencement date, the Client shall pay either:
- - - i. the deposit fee at the earliest possible date, prior to the Artisan working with the Client, if it is an ongoing project/ engagement, OR
- - - ii. the full fee at the earliest possible date, prior to the Artisan working with the Client, if the project/ engagement is a one-day task.

PP-5: Cancellations
- a) If Client cancels a booking prior to two weeks before its scheduled date:
- - - i. No monies, or further monies shall be owed to Egomania Records.
- - - ii. Any Deposits paid to Egomania Records shall be refunded to the Client.
- b) If Client cancels a booking within two weeks, but prior to two (2) days, of its scheduled date:
- - - i. The Deposit Fee (i.e. HALF the Agreed Fee) is owed to Egomania Records if it has not been paid already.
- - - ii. Any Deposits already paid to Egomania Records are non-refundable.
- - - iii. No further monies (besides the Deposit Fee) shall be owed to Egomania Records.
- c) If Client cancels a booking within two (2) days of its scheduled date:
- - - i. The FULL Agreed Fee is owed to Egomania Records.
- - - ii. Any Deposits or Agreed Fees that have been paid to Egomania Records are non-refundable.
- d) If Egomania Records cancels a booking, all monies already paid by the Client to Egomania Records are refundable and no further monies are owed to Egomania Records.
- e) If Egomania Records is forced to cancel a booking due to impropriety on the Client's part, or non-payment of fees, any Deposits or Agreed Fees that have been paid to Egomania Records are non-refundable.
- - - i. "Impropriety on the Client's part" involves the Client reneging on conditions, prerequisites or agreements which are documented in the Hiring Agreement or Rider to the Hiring Agreement between the Client and Egomania Records.
- f) If an Artisan is forced to cancel a booking, Egomania Records takes responsibility and it is regarded as an Egomania Records cancellation, whereby the conditions in PP-5-d apply, unless the Artisan is involved in a "Client Impropriety" suit, whereby the conditions in PP-5-e shall apply.
- g) If a project is cancelled midway through its completion, due to outside forces beyond the Client's or Egomania Records' control:
- - - i. Any Deposits or Agreed Fees that have been paid to Egomania Records are non-refundable.
- - - ii. The FULL Agreed Fee is owed to Egomania Records.

TUTOR SERVICES (Egomania Records is referred to as 'ER'.)
Return to TUTOR INDEX

TUTOR-1:
- a) FIRST LESSON:
- - - i. The first lesson that a Student takes with an ER Tutor may be paid as a singular fee for that lesson only, and payable to the TUTOR. [This is the only time that the Student will pay the Tutor directly.] After the First Lesson, if the Student wishes to continue lessons with the ER Tutor, they will be Invoiced by ER (F.U.P., Inc.) and begin making monthly payments in advance to ER.
- - - ii. After the First Lesson, no monies are to be paid directly to the ER Tutor.
- - - iii. After the First Lesson, for whatever reason, the Student may wish to cease lessons. In this case, they are not liable for any further monies payable to ER or to the ER Tutor.

TUTOR-2:
- a) PAYMENT PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS / TUTORS.
- - - i. When a Student has decided to hire a Tutor on a regular basis through ER, all the lesson times and fees are to be decided between the Tutor and Student.
- - - ii. ER will then Invoice the Student monthly and payment is made by the Student in advance, for a month's lessons. (NOTE: A "month's lessons" does not necessarily mean four lessons, but whatever schedule the Tutor and Student work out as most beneficial for the Student.)
- - - iii. Monthly Lesson schedules are billed from the FIRST DAY of a month to the LAST DAY of a month.
- - - - - 1. Billing for the Student's initial scheduled series of lessons shall be calculated to the end of the current month. A new Invoice will be issued for the full succeeding month.
- - - iv. Students are to make check or money order payments to:
Egomania Records
P.O. Box 370069, Reseda CA 91337-0069.
- - - v. Each check or money order should be accompanied by these details:
- - - - - 1. The Tutor's name, in the Memo section.
- - - - - 2. The dates that the payment covers (i.e. "month of May", or "12-Jun, 19-Jun" etc.) in the Memo section.
- - - - - 3. The Student's name - if it is not already at the head of the check, Student is to ensure that their name is listed in the Memo/description field, to avoid applying the check to another Student.

TUTOR-3:
- a) CHANGE OF LESSON TIME / SKIPPED LESSON:
- - - i. If a Student wishes to change their scheduled lesson time, they are to inform the ER Tutor at least 48 hours in advance. If lesson changes or cancellations are made within 48 hours of the scheduled lesson time, the Student will be charged for that lesson.
- - - ii. If a Student gives more than 48 hours notice of a change in lesson time, their fee for that changed or cancelled lesson will be carried over as credit to the actual lesson time, or the next lesson.
- b) CANCELLING LESSONS PERMANENTLY: If a Student wishes to cancel their lessons permanently (for whatever reason), all fees paid for lessons in advance (which have not been performed) will be refunded (with a 5% administrative fee deducted), excepting any lessons which may fall within a 48-hour period of the Student's Notice Of Cancellation, which will be subject to the conditions in TUTOR-3-a-i (i.e. full lesson fee will be charged).
- c) LATE PAYMENT / LATE FEES:
- - - i. If the monthly lesson advance payment has not been received by ER, by forty-eight (48) hours before the SECOND scheduled lesson for that month, the second lesson will be regarded as a Cancellation Within 48 Hours [See TUTOR-3-a-i]. The Tutor will NOT perform that second lesson (to protect the company's interests), yet the full lesson fee will still be payable to ER for that missed lesson. This missed lesson fee is to be regarded as the Late Fee for late payment.
- - - ii. Start calculating lesson numbers AFTER the very first lesson, where the Student pays the Tutor directly. (Therefore, if the Student has just started lessons, the first lesson with the Tutor is not counted as Lesson 1 - it is only when the monthly schedule is finalized that the lesson count starts at '1'.)
- - - iii. If Student is only taking one (1) lesson per month, monthly payment for that lesson should be received no later than 48 hours prior to that lesson, or conditions outlined in TUTOR-3-a-i shall apply.
