1. The author’s works may be used by the hiring company, referred to henceforth as The Client, for one year, unless otherwise stated, upon which time the works shall cease to be used, or an additional usage payment (equal to the original usage payment) shall be made to the author.
2. The author’s works may only be used for the agreed product/service and on the agreed platforms/mediums detailed in the invoice line-items and not in any additional products/services in the future, unless otherwise stated. The author’s works may only be used in the geographical region as specified in the invoice line-items, unless otherwise stated. If no geographical region is stated then the license specifies use in the hiring company’s country of location only.
3. For the sake of clarity, this also means that the works may never be incorporated into any text-to-speech, cloned voice, synthetic voice or AI Voice Models, on any platform or medium, known now, or in the future. The Client may not transfer the works, nor this license to any third parties without the written consent of the author.

The Client agrees not to enter into any agreements or contracts on behalf of Author which utilizes all or any part of any of the original files recording the performance of Author for purposes of using the files for Artificial Intelligence, such as text to speech, or speech to speech uses, without Author’s knowledge and consent.

The Client agrees to use good faith efforts to prevent any files of recordings or performances stored in digital format containing Author’s voice or likeness from unauthorized access by third parties, and if such files are stored in “the cloud” Client agrees to utilize services that offer safeguards through encryption or other “up-to date” technological means from unauthorized third party access.

The Client acknowledges (and will procure that where relevant the End Client acknowledges) that the Author asserts: any moral right it has to be identified as performer in the Materials pursuant to section 205C of the CDPA; any moral right it has to object to derogatory treatment of its performance in the Materials pursuant to section 205F of the CPDA; and any other moral or equivalent rights to those set out in this clause to which the author may be entitled under legislation now existing or future enacted in any part of the world. The hiring Company shall (and will procure that where relevant the End Credit shall) give the Artist such credit as is agreed by the author.

Re Recording: The author will correct any mistake made (that are the fault of the author) made on the works free of charge and will work on a goodwill and best endeavours basis for subjective changes requested to the works by the hiring company, however any additional works requested by The Client will be invoiced separately as agreed by the author and The Client.
