Guarantees

Our After-sales policy is a key part of our business strategy as it intends the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty to our services. We offer specific after-sales coverage on both Audio and Multimedia-DTP.

Audio

PrimeGroupUSA LLC will fix free of charge any incorrect pronunciation of words and brand names by the voice actor ONLY in cases where the Buyer had provided clear instructions beforehand. Retakes for missing words or expressions will not be charged if instructions were given in the script sent by the Buyer.

Errors in recording and post-production or missing audio will be corrected or recorded by PrimeGroupUSA LLC without any charge, provided that the Buyer informs us about the issues within ten (10) business days after delivery day.

If the voice actor’s errors are spotted after ten (10) business days, the issue will be considered as author changes, add-ons, additional lines, or modifications made by the author. In these cases, all related costs, including the cost of the studio, taxes and the actor’s fee will be charged.

In cases of script modification or a change in technical specifications PRIOR to the recording, PrimeGroupUSA LLC will not charge a retake fee.

Audios or videos damaged or corrupted during the recording or post-production phases will be repaired free of charge.

Multimedia-DTP

With the purchase of any Multimedia or DTP service, PrimeGroupUSA LLC offers customers one single round of amendments and updates after the initial delivery. This round is free of charge, regardless of where the order comes from (Buyer or end customer).

This first and free round of changes includes either author changes (translation replacement, new or updated words) on the texts or errors that have been inadvertently made by PrimeGroupUSA LLC (misunderstanding of the instructions, for example).

If all the errors are caused by PrimeGroupUSA LLC, the free first round of corrections is not counted.

For requested rounds of updates and corrections we follow this workflow:

     0 – Initial delivery after our QA/LSO: clients are entitled to one round of changes or updates. This is free of charge but valid for up to 3 months after this delivery.

     1 – Final delivery: any change or update from this round will be quoted.

     2 – Changes and updates at this round and next rounds will be charged to the client.

In case there are no comments from the Buyer or end client and agency within two weeks of final delivery, PrimeGroupUSA LLC will close the project. After two weeks of final delivery, any update or amendment will be considered a new project.

Requests after one year are not guaranteed because the material will no longer be online, the cost of recovering the files will be charged to the Buyer.

Retention policy

We guarantee our clients one year of retention in our servers of all the audio and multimedia DTP files processed by our staff in a particular project (this applies to all files from Round 0, as set above). Storage in our vault of files and related elements beyond 1 year after delivery, will be charged to the customer. (Exceptions may apply).

Confidentiality

PrimeGroupUSA LLC will engage in a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Buyer if required. If no NDA is signed, PrimeGroupUSA LLC will strictly ensure full confidentiality during and after the execution of audiovisual performances, as well as while providing information, documents, data, and numbers related to the products or services contained in the recordings.

The payment terms can be modified without notice.

Delayed payment

In the case of unpaid orders of less than 1,000 USD, PrimeGroupUSA LLC will suspend distribution of the audiovisual services requested by the Buyer until the day the payment is received.

The order will be cancelled when the Buyer continues to delay or refuse payment to PrimeGroupUSA LLC, or if the Buyer does not pay the 30% of the amount for jobs of over 1000 USD.

It will also be considered an unsettled payment to PrimeGroupUSA LLC if the remaining 70% of the price isn’t paid within a maximum of 30 days from the date of the delivery of audiovisual services.

In the situation of late, the Buyer must pay to PrimeGroupUSA LLC a penalty of 40 USD for interest and recovery costs.

PrimeGroupUSA LLC may require additional reimbursement if the recovery costs exceed 40 USD (for example, the involvement of a debt-collection company to recover any debts).

In the case of a late payment, rate penalties equal to three times the rate of the legal interest will be applied. 

Where no rate is estimated, the interest rate will be equal to that currently used by the Federal Reserve increased by 10 basic points.

Any audiovisual production including the voice actors’ rights remain the integral property of PrimeGroupUSA LLC until all due amounts are paid.
