Subcontractor: Availability & Scheduling
Bravo Ocean tries our best to schedule clients on the days and times requested by clients. However, confirmed bookings are also subject to the availability of the engineer, studio room, videographer, or subcontractor needed to make the session successful. Request for deposits to reserve studio time at Bravo Ocean Studios only occurs once we have secured all talent, in-house engineers or subcontractors for your specific session, date, and time.

Remaining balances are due at the beginning of each session. Sessions cannot begin until balances have been cleared. We recommend having paying parties arrive 15 minutes before session start to ensure your session begins on time. For multiple day bookings, balance is due at the beginning of the first booked day.
In some instances, Bravo Ocean may ask for a full non-refundable payment for multiple day bookings instead of a deposit.
All files remain the property of Bravo Ocean Studios until full balance is paid.
In the event of non-payment, Bravo Ocean Studios reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to recover the outstanding balance. Failure to make timely payments may result in additional fees, legal costs, and potential damage to the client’s credit standing. We encourage prompt resolution to avoid any unnecessary proceedings and maintain a positive business relationship.

Subcontractor Rates:
Bravo Ocean’s reputation for consistent quality and providing “creativity without compromise” is fostered through our in-house engineers, mixers and staff. In some instances, Bravo Ocean Studios provides some of its services and resources through our large network of vetted subcontractors. This includes engineers, mixers, studio musicians, videographers, editors, producers, event coordinators, and more. Our network of subcontractors have their own rates which are subject to change. We do our best to inform our clients as soon as possible if any rate changes effect their future project or reserved bookings. Bravo Ocean will never change rates on any confirmed bookings or contracted projects. Rate changes will only be introduced to clients with reserved time slots or those that have received estimates that haven’t been accepted yet. Client may proceed with the booking with new rate change or simply release their reservation.

Bravo engineers can send out files digitally via Wetransfer.com as a courtesy at the end of your session. Transfer fees starting at $100/hr will apply to digital transfers that take over 30 minutes to upload. Retrieving files at a later date is subject to billable studio time.
