Please review the terms and conditions of this agreement attentively. By creating an account, you are acknowledging and agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained herein, even if you have not perused them thoroughly.

This agreement establishes the relationship between VoicesUS and the user, referred to as the “Client,” who may act as a voice talent providing services or a client acquiring the services of a voice talent.
Access to VoicesUS’s online services (the “Services”) will be granted to the Client, allowing them to utilize various services offered to Clients in accordance with the selected service level. The Client is obligated to pay VoicesUS the standard fees specified on the VoicesUS website for the chosen service level. VoicesUS reserves the right to modify fees and service levels, with such changes becoming effective no earlier than the end of the current Term. Voice talent fees for each assignment, along with a 20% administration fee (plus payment processing fee) for VoicesUS, are payable in advance. Joining VoicesUS involves a one-time administration fee of $99.99, and a 6-month trial option is available for $49.99. This one-time administration fee covers showcase setup and provides lifetime membership to the VoicesUS site.
Payments for voice talent work are collected via VoicesUS’s partner Stripe and paid to talent via Paypal or bank transfer (on request). Such payments are immediate but will be released to the voice talent only upon delivery and approval by the purchaser. The use of any payment method other than VoicesUS’s service is prohibited, and the Client agrees not to circumvent this Payment Service.
By paying an invoice, the Client agrees to the terms outlined here. Following delivery of recorded audio: after 14 days of inactivity/non-communication, the project will be assumed closed and funds will be released to the voice artist. Further amendments after that time will be possible on negotiation of a new fee. Unwatermarked final quality delivered audio is non-refundable. Fees include any corrections to voice artist pronunciation errors, intonation mistakes and/or unfollowed direction. Changes in direction and/or script content are possible on negotiation of a new fee. Any recordings as part of this agreement may not be used to create an artificial voice model of any type, now or in the future, on any platforms or devices known or not known.
The commencement of this Agreement occurs when the Client registers on VoicesUS. If the Client is already registered, this Agreement takes effect and supersedes any existing Subscription and User Agreement upon being posted on VoicesUS. The Term continues for the specified duration unless renewed or terminated by either party. Upon termination, VoicesUS provides the Client with 30 days to retrieve any materials placed on the VoicesUS website.

VoicesUS may terminate this Agreement or suspend the Client’s access to the Services without notice for various reasons, including non-payment, non-compliance, or unauthorized transfer of rights.
