Agreement and studio details

Evum Studios ("we", "us", "our", "the Studio") operates www.evumstudios.com and provides content strategy, production, channel management and related services described on this site. By using this website or engaging our services, you ("you", "the client") agree to these terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use our services. Questions go to info@evumstudios.com.

Website use

This website and everything on it, text, design, thumbnails, video, code, and layout, is the property of Evum Studios and may not be copied, scraped, reused, or reverse-engineered without our prior written consent. We may suspend or restrict access to this site for anyone we believe is misusing it, without notice.

Quotes and scope

Quotes are not binding until confirmed in writing by Evum Studios. A quote is based on the scope described to us at the time; it may be withdrawn or revised if that scope changes, information provided was incomplete, or [30 days] have passed since it was issued.

Scope creep is billed. Any request outside the agreed scope, additional revisions, formats, platforms, or turnaround requests, will be quoted and billed separately before we begin it. We are not obliged to perform out-of-scope work at the original price.

Client responsibilities

You are responsible for enabling the work. Delays caused by your failure to provide channel access, direction, assets, or timely approvals do not entitle you to a discount, refund, or schedule guarantee. Deadlines quoted assume timely cooperation on your part; we are not liable for delay caused by you.

Payment

Invoices are due within [7 days] of issue. Work may be paused or withheld, and access to any channel we manage may be suspended, immediately and without further notice, for any invoice unpaid past its due date. Late payments accrue interest at [2% per month] or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower. You are responsible for our reasonable costs of collection, including legal fees, on any overdue account.

Deposits and retainer payments are non-refundable once work has commenced, regardless of the outcome or your satisfaction with early drafts.

Retainer engagements

These are retainer engagements. Evum Studios may terminate a retainer at any time with [7 days'] notice; you may terminate with [30 days'] notice and remain liable for that full notice period regardless of whether you continue using the service. Any unused portion of a prepaid period is non-refundable.

Project-based engagements

These are project-based engagements billed per the agreed scope. Revisions beyond the number stated in the scope are billed at our standard rate. Unused revision rounds do not carry over or entitle you to a refund.

Commission-based partnerships

• Ownership. The channel account remains registered to you, but Evum Studios retains a contractual right to the agreed revenue share for the full minimum term regardless of who is operating the channel day to day, including if you attempt to terminate early or move the channel to another provider.
• Revenue share. The split is fixed for the minimum term once agreed in writing and is not renegotiable mid-term at your request.
• Minimum term. [Six months for management partnerships; twelve months for channels built from zero]. Ending before the minimum term obliges you to pay Evum Studios [the greater of: the remaining projected commission based on trailing performance, or a fixed early-termination fee of X], to be set with management.
• Underperformance is not a termination right. Slow growth or delayed monetisation, on its own, is not grounds to exit before the minimum term; see "No guaranteed results" below.
• Qualification and exit at our discretion. We may decline, pause, or end a qualification process or partnership at our sole discretion at any time before the minimum term begins.

No guaranteed results

We do not guarantee subscriber counts, view counts, monetisation status, revenue, or any specific outcome, and no statement on this website, in a proposal, or in conversation should be read as such a guarantee. Platform algorithms, policies, and monetisation thresholds are controlled entirely by third parties and can change without notice. You accept this risk by engaging our services and waive any claim against Evum Studios based on a channel's performance falling short of expectations, targets, or informal projections discussed during scoping.

Platform responsibility

You are solely responsible for your compliance with the terms of service of any platform we publish to on your behalf. Evum Studios is not liable for demonetisation, suspension, shadow-banning, or any other platform action against your account, however caused, including where it results from content we produced or advice we gave.

Ownership and intellectual property

Ownership of scripts, edits, thumbnails, and other produced assets transfers to you only on receipt of payment in full. Until then, all such assets remain the property of Evum Studios, and we may withhold delivery, watermark drafts, or revoke access to files pending payment. We retain an irrevocable, royalty-free right to display any work produced for you, including channels operated under a commission partnership, in our own portfolio, case studies, and marketing, without further compensation to you, both during and after the engagement, unless a written non-disclosure agreement says otherwise.

Our internal tools, templates, workflows, and proprietary processes are and remain our exclusive property under all circumstances.

Confidentiality and non-solicitation

Each party will keep the other's confidential information private. You agree not to directly or indirectly hire, engage, or solicit any Evum Studios employee, contractor, or freelancer who has worked on your account for [12 months] after the engagement ends, without our prior written consent and payment of a placement fee equal to [three months of their engagement rate].

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Evum Studios' total liability arising from these terms or our services, however caused, including negligence, is capped at the fees you paid us in the [one month] immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable under any circumstances for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including lost revenue, lost subscribers, lost profits, or reputational harm, even if we were advised such losses were possible.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Evum Studios harmless against any claim, loss, or cost arising from content, direction, or approvals you provided to us, or from your breach of these terms, including claims from third parties relating to your channel's content or conduct.

Termination

Evum Studios may terminate any engagement immediately, without notice or refund of prepaid amounts, if you fail to pay when due, breach these terms, or provide direction we reasonably consider unlawful, unsafe, or damaging to our reputation. Sections relating to payment, IP, confidentiality, indemnity, and liability survive termination of any engagement.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction favourable to Evum Studios, to be confirmed with counsel]. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction for any dispute, regardless of where you are based.

Changes

We may update these terms at any time by posting a revised version on this page. Continuing to use our services after an update constitutes your acceptance of the new terms; it is your responsibility to review them periodically.
