1. Purpose

These general terms and conditions of sale define the terms applicable to any custom music composition service performed by Lucas Hours (Kuma), artist-author operating as a sole proprietorship. These terms are governed by French law.

2. Services Offered

Lucas Hours provides custom music composition services and commits to fulfilling the client’s needs and directives to the best of his ability.

Revisions and adjustment requests may be submitted by the client after the delivery of a first version, within reasonable limits.
These revisions are included in the initial price, as long as they concern clearly identifiable elements and remain reasonable in number and scope.

If revision requests are excessive, unjustified, or call the entire work into question, the artist reserves the right to:

• propose a complementary quote for additional revisions; or

• consider the project completed and demand full payment.

No further revisions can be requested after final approval by the client or after 7 days following delivery.

3. Orders and Quotes

Every order is preceded by a detailed quote sent via email, specifying the service, delivery timeframe, price, and rights assignment terms.
The order is considered accepted once the signed quote is returned by email.

4. Delivery Time

The estimated delivery time is specified in each quote.
As a general reference, it is around 30 days from the date of quote signature, deposit payment, or withdrawal period expiration — but it may vary depending on project complexity.

Lucas Hours agrees to inform the client promptly in case of any delays and to propose an updated delivery schedule.

5. Payment

Payments (deposit and balance) must be made in euros via bank transfer to the account listed on the invoice.

Payment due date: within 30 days of invoice date.

• For professionals: late payment penalties will apply at a rate of 3 times the legal interest rate in force, plus a €40 recovery fee (Article D441-5 of the French Commercial Code).

• For individuals: late payment penalties will be applied at an annual rate of 10%, prorated daily from the invoice due date.

Specific payment arrangements may be offered in the case of ongoing collaborations, and outlined in the quote.

Deposit:
The deposit amount is specified in the quote and must be paid at the time of signing.
If unpaid within 8 days of quote acceptance, the contract may be cancelled.

Invoice:
An invoice is sent to the client via email upon delivery. Invoices are issued in euros.

6. Withdrawal and Cancellation

Clients may withdraw from the contract by sending an email request to the professional address of Lucas Hours.
The withdrawal period is 14 days from the date of quote signature.

• If the project has not yet begun (as stated in the quote), the deposit will be refunded in full.

• If the client has explicitly requested the project to begin immediately (e.g., upon signing or deposit), they will owe Lucas Hours a sum equivalent to the work completed.

  • If the deposit exceeds this amount, the difference will be refunded.

  • If the deposit is insufficient or not paid, the balance due must be paid.

The client will receive the work as-is and an invoice.

7. Delivery

Final files are delivered via download link (Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc.)
Delivery includes:

• Full WAV file(s)

• Individual stems upon request

8. Confidentiality

Lucas Hours respects the confidentiality of all documents, client information, and ongoing projects.
These will not be shared with third parties.

For promotional or portfolio purposes, the artist may request permission to mention the client’s name, nature of the project, or client feedback on his website, social media, or promotional materials.
The client is free to decline.

9. Intellectual Property and Usage Rights

Lucas Hours (Kuma) retains authorship and copyright of the compositions.
The client receives an exclusive license of use, defined in the quote.

All commercial use or public broadcasting must comply with the licensed rights.
SACEM rights are not transferred unless explicitly agreed.
The client may not claim authorship or register the work as their own.

10. Liability

Lucas Hours declines all responsibility in case of unauthorized modification, misuse, or third-party disputes arising from the delivered work.

11. Disputes and Mediation

In case of a dispute, the signed quote and proof of delivery constitute a valid agreement between the parties.
The applicable version of the general terms is the one attached to the signed quote, not later versions posted on the website.

An amicable resolution will always be prioritized.

In accordance with Articles L.616-1 and R.616-1 of the French Consumer Code, the artist has a consumer mediation agreement.
