ARTIST TERMS & CONDITIONS
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT & EMAIL AGREEMENT
LUKE MUNNS is an Artist Development Label service. By submitting your email address, you agree to receive periodic, informative newsletters from LUKE MUNNS MUSIC, MEDIA, MARKETING, and MINISTRY brands—including The Lakehaus Studios, WorshipCollective, and thelukasband—all of which operate as registered trading names under Chlokomo Trust.
All business activity, agreements, and intellectual property are held and protected under Chlokomo Trust. Your email address will remain private and will never be shared with third parties.
COPYRIGHTS & PRODUCTION RIGHTS
All rights to produced and recorded audio stems, musical parts, and hooks (excluding songwriting royalties) are held under Chlokomo Trust and shared for usage between the recording artist and LUKE MUNNS, The Lakehaus Studios, WorshipCollective.co, and thelukasband.
These recordings may be used by both parties for any and all future applications—including releases, promotional use, live performance, and/or remixes—worldwide and in perpetuity.
PAYMENTS & BOOKINGS
Full payment is required upfront to confirm your studio booking and officially move forward with your project.
No work will begin—no musicians booked, no production scheduled—until full payment is received, unless a split payment plan is explicitly approved in writing by Luke Munns and/or our finance team.
All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Funds are immediately allocated to producers, session musicians, engineers, creative staff, and project management based on the agreed scope of work.
This means payments cannot be redirected, refunded, paused, or transferred between songs, services, or projects—regardless of cancellation, delay, change of mind, or change of direction.
COOLING-OFF PERIOD
A 10-day cooling-off period applies from the date the invoice is issued. This is reflected in the invoice due date. Once payment is made—or the 10 days elapse—your booking is confirmed, and the project is bound to these terms.
CANCELLATIONS & POSTPONEMENTS
Once a booking confirmation is requested by the client or an invoice is issued, a 50% cancellation or postponement fee applies.
SONG LENGTH CLASSIFICATION
Any song under 5 minutes in length is classified as one (1) song. Every additional 5-minute interval will be counted as an additional song and charged at the current agreed rates.
APPROVAL POLICY & LIABILITY
Any glitches or errors resulting from computer or human error—after masters are approved by the artist—are the responsibility of the artist. Any corrections or loss shall be at the artist’s cost.
Any revisions to the supplied production samples must be clearly specified and approved before the mixing stage begins. Any mix revisions must be finalized and approved before the mastering stage commences.
SONGWRITING CREDITS
If Luke Munns or any member of the LUKE MUNNS songwriting team contributes more than 10% to the melody, chords, or lyrics of a song, songwriting ownership and publishing will be negotiated and agreed upon among the writers.
These songs will be administered through Hillsong/Shout Publishing (Australia), unless otherwise arranged in writing.
STEM EXPORTS, SESSION FILES & DATA TRANSFER
Production package fees cover final music delivery only (e.g. mixed/mastered WAV or MP3 files).
Requests for stem files, multi-tracks, session files, or data transfer are not included unless specified in writing and are billed separately.
Stem exports, session bounces, and file preparation are billed at $99 USD/hour. File delivery requires 10–14 business days after payment, due to manual coordination, multi-system file access, and secure upload.
LUKE MUNNS reserves the right to withhold any file delivery until all outstanding invoices and export fees are paid in full.
Files are stored for 90 days after delivery. Re-supply is not guaranteed beyond this window.
RESPECT, CONDUCT & DISPUTE MANAGEMENT
At LUKE MUNNS Music, we operate with excellence, integrity, honour, and peace. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of:
All-caps yelling or shouting
Disrespectful or dishonouring language
Swearing, cursing, or verbal abuse
Accusations, false claims, or manipulative tone
Spiritual manipulation or spiritualised guilt (spiritual abuse)
Micro-aggressions, passive-aggressive threats, or controlling behaviour
Our studio is a non-pressure environment. We are worship leaders, parents, pastors and creatives—not machines. Excellence or creativity cannot flow in chaos, stress, or conflict.
If any of the above behaviours are detected, an official warning will be issued, and the project will be moved into dispute status and paused indefinitely until honour and mutual respect are restored. A formal review and reset process will follow, including:
Clarification of the behaviour that caused the pause
A written resolution plan for both parties
Agreement to resume with clear expectations
Refunds are not possible at this stage. We also reserve the right to withhold working files, pause all communication, and step away from the project entirely if the behaviour continues.
We are an invitation-only, acceptance-based artist development label, offering production and label services to artists who are respectful, patient, communicative, and aligned with our values.
PUBLIC CONDUCT
Any slander, defamation, or public misrepresentation (online or offline) toward LUKE MUNNS Music or any team member will result in immediate termination of the project without refund, and may result in legal action.
TIMING & TURNAROUND
Due to high demand and our handcrafted production process, turnaround times vary. We do not guarantee delivery by specific dates unless explicitly agreed in writing. We work with patience, care, and excellence—not speed.
PRODUCTION CREDIT & REMOVAL
LUKE MUNNS Music reserves the right to remove all production or creative credit from a project if the final result is released in a way that misrepresents the original intent, quality, or alignment with our values.
Thank you,
The LUKE MUNNS Music Team
