Any agreed-upon scope of work, deliverables, or pricing must be documented in writing to be enforceable.
- Discounted Pricing: If Provider offers discounted pricing, custom subscription plan, or a custom credit value for certain services, these agreed-upon terms will be honored and will supersede the standard pricing listed in this document.
Provider reserves the right to adjust pricing for future services, but such adjustments will be limited as follows:
- Frequency: Price adjustments may occur no more than once per calendar year.
- Percentage Cap: Any price increase will be capped at 15% of the current rate per calendar year.
- Notice Period: Provider will provide 60 days' written notice to the Client before any price adjustment takes effect. Adjustments will only apply to services rendered after the notice period.

If a Client requires more credits than their plan provides in a given month, additional credits may be purchased at the overage rate of $200 per Credit. Overage credits are invoiced separately and due within 7 days.
Unused monthly credits may roll over for a maximum of one additional billing period. Rolled-over credits that remain unused after the second billing period are permanently forfeited with no cash value, refund, or replacement. Credits have no monetary value outside of the Podify service system and cannot be transferred between accounts, exchanged for cash, or applied as credits toward outstanding invoices.
Important: Credits that expire are non-refundable under any circumstances. Plan your monthly deliverable schedule accordingly to maximize the value of your subscription.
Payment Terms
- All subscription fees are billed monthly in advance on the Client's billing anniversary date via the payment method on file.
- One-time packages (Launch Package, One Video, Accelerator) require a non-refundable 50% deposit to begin work. The remaining 50% balance is due upon delivery of the first set of completed deliverables.
- Payment is accepted via credit card, ACH bank transfer, or wire transfer. All major credit cards accepted.
- Invoices not paid within 7 calendar days of the due date may result in an immediate pause of all active services until the account is brought to a current status.
- Accounts overdue by more than 30 calendar days will be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) compounded monthly on the outstanding balance.
- All pricing is quoted in United States Dollars (USD) and is exclusive of all applicable local, state, federal, or international taxes, which are the sole responsibility of the Client.
- Podify reserves the right to require pre-payment for new clients or for accounts with a history of late or missed payments.
- Any chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal initiated without prior written communication to Podify will result in an immediate suspension of all services and a $150 chargeback processing fee, in addition to any costs incurred in recovering the disputed amount.
Acceptance Criteria
All Deliverables are deemed accepted by the Client if no written notice of rejection, with specific and documented reasons, is provided to Podify within 5 business days of the delivery date to the Client's designated contact or project management platform.
Quality standards: All deliverables are produced to professional broadcast-quality standards. Podify warrants that deliverables will be produced in a workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards for podcast and video content production.
Revision policy: Each deliverable includes a maximum of two (2) rounds of revisions at no additional cost, provided revision requests are submitted within the 5-business-day acceptance window. Additional revision rounds beyond the two included will be billed at $75 per hour, invoiced separately.
Client responsibilities: The Client is responsible for providing complete, accurate, and timely source materials — including raw recordings, brand assets, written briefs, and any reference content — required for production. Delays caused by late or incomplete submission of Client-supplied materials will not constitute a breach by Podify and may affect agreed delivery timelines without penalty to the Company.
Podify reserves the right to decline any content request that conflicts with applicable law, ethical standards, or the Company's stated values and mission, at Podify's sole discretion.
Non-Solicitation
During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 months following the date of its termination or expiration (for any reason), the Client agrees not to directly or indirectly:
- Solicit, recruit, hire, engage, or retain any current or former Podify employee, editor, designer, producer, strategist, contractor, or affiliate who was introduced to the Client through or during the course of this engagement
- Encourage, induce, or attempt to induce any such person to leave or reduce their engagement with Podify
- Use any Podify team member's direct contact information (obtained during this engagement) for outreach, project work, or collaboration outside of the Podify service relationship
Breach of this clause shall entitle Podify to seek liquidated damages in an amount equal to three (3) months of the compensation paid or agreed to be paid to the solicited individual, payable to Podify within 30 days of written demand. The parties agree this represents a reasonable estimate of damages and not a penalty.
Data Security
Podify takes the security of Client materials seriously and implements industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards to protect all submitted assets, recordings, scripts, and creative materials:
- Encrypted file storage and transfer using SSL/TLS protocols
- Access-controlled project management and file-sharing systems with role-based permissions
- Secure cloud backups of all Client deliverables, maintained for 90 days following final delivery
- Signed non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations for all Podify team members and subcontractors
- No sharing, sale, or distribution of Client materials, recordings, or content with any third party outside of the active production workflow
Client files and source materials will be permanently deleted 90 days after project completion or subscription termination, unless a longer retention period is agreed in writing prior to deletion. Podify is not responsible for the recovery of source materials lost due to hardware failure, file corruption, or user error on the Client's end prior to successful upload to Podify's systems.
Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full and final payment for all services rendered in connection with a given Deliverable, Podify irrevocably assigns to the Client all rights, title, and interest — including all copyright — in and to the final Deliverables produced under this Agreement.
Portfolio Rights: Podify retains the right to display completed Deliverables in its portfolio, case studies, website, and marketing materials unless the Client submits a written confidentiality request prior to the commencement of services. Portfolio use may include screenshots, clips, and descriptions of the work produced. If confidentiality is not requested in advance, Podify may begin showcasing work immediately upon delivery.
Podify retains full and exclusive ownership of all production templates, editing presets, proprietary workflows, internal process documentation, and creative methodologies developed or used by Podify in connection with this Agreement. These assets are not transferred to the Client at any time.
Third-party content responsibility: The Client is solely and exclusively responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses, permissions, rights, and clearances for any third-party intellectual property (including music, stock footage, images, logos, trademarks, or brand assets) included in materials submitted to Podify for production. Podify assumes no liability whatsoever for Client-supplied content that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to hold in strict confidence all proprietary, business, strategic, financial, and personal information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with this Agreement ("Confidential Information").
This confidentiality obligation:
- Survives the termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely
- Prohibits either party from disclosing Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party
- Does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, court order, or regulatory authority, provided that the disclosing party is given prompt written notice
Podify will not share, sell, license, or otherwise disclose Client business strategies, show concepts, guest lists, audience data, editorial calendars, or any other Client Confidential Information to any competitor, third party, or public channel.
Indemnification and Liability
The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Podify and its members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and subcontractors from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:
- Any Client-supplied content, including claims of copyright infringement, defamation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, or violation of any third-party intellectual property or personal rights
- The Client's breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under this Agreement
- Any content published, distributed, or broadcast by the Client using Podify-produced Deliverables
- Any third-party claims arising from or relating to the Client's podcast, brand, business, or products and services
Limitation of Liability: Podify's total aggregate liability under or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to Podify during the three (3) calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event shall Podify be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if Podify has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Term and Termination
This Agreement commences on the date of the Client's first payment or signature and remains in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with the terms below.
- Monthly subscription cancellation: Either party may cancel a monthly subscription by providing at least 30 days' written notice before the next scheduled billing date. Services will continue through the end of the paid billing period. No refunds will be issued for the current billing period upon cancellation.
- Termination for cause: Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 10 business days of receiving detailed written notice of the breach.
- Upon any termination, all outstanding invoices and amounts owed to Podify become immediately due and payable in full.
- No refunds will be issued for any unused credits remaining in the current billing period at the time of termination.
- Following receipt of final payment of all outstanding balances, Podify will deliver all completed work-in-progress within 10 business days.
- Podify reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice in cases of Client misconduct, fraudulent activity, abusive behavior toward Podify staff, or material violation of the Non-Solicitation clause (Section 6).
Dispute Resolution
In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach, termination, or validity, both parties agree to first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through direct negotiation for a period of 30 days from the date the dispute is raised in writing by either party.
If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation within that period, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator, in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrator's decision shall be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Each party shall bear its own legal fees and arbitration costs, except in cases of a breach of the Non-Solicitation clause (Section 6), where the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.
Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be held liable or in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure to perform any obligation hereunder where such delay or failure results from any cause or condition beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires, pandemics, epidemics, acts of government or regulatory authority, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes or labor disputes, power failures, or internet or telecommunications infrastructure outages.
The affected party shall provide written notice to the other party as soon as reasonably practicable after the force majeure event occurs, describing the nature and expected duration of the event. The affected party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume full performance as soon as the force majeure event has ceased or been sufficiently mitigated.
If a force majeure event prevents performance for a continuous period exceeding 60 calendar days, either party may terminate this Agreement without liability to the other by providing written notice of termination.
Survival
The following provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely (or for the period specified):
- Section 6 — Non-Solicitation (12 months post-termination)
- Section 7 — Data Security
- Section 8 — Intellectual Property
- Section 9 — Confidentiality (indefinite)
- Section 10 — Indemnification and Liability
- Section 12 — Dispute Resolution
- Section 15 — Governing Law
- All payment obligations for services already rendered or Deliverables already delivered
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration under Section 12 shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California. Both parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts.
Modification
Podify reserves the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Clients with active subscriptions or ongoing engagements will be notified of any material changes at least 14 calendar days in advance of the effective date of such changes, via email to the address on file.
Continued use of Podify's services on or after the effective date of any modification constitutes the Client's irrevocable acceptance of the updated Terms and Conditions. If a Client does not agree to the modified terms, they must notify Podify in writing before the effective date and may cancel their subscription without early termination penalty, provided the cancellation takes effect before the modified terms apply.
No modification or amendment to this Agreement by the Client shall be binding on Podify unless it is expressly agreed to in a written document signed by an authorized representative of Podify.
Miscellaneous
- Entire Agreement: This Agreement, together with any separately executed service order, statement of work, or addendum, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, warranties, and understandings of any kind.
- Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. All other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
- Waiver: The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that party's right to enforce such provision or any other provision at any time in the future. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
- Assignment: The Client may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Podify. Podify may freely assign this Agreement to any successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, change of control, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

- Counterparts and Electronic Signatures: This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same binding agreement. Electronic signatures, including signatures via DocuSign, HelloSign, or similar platforms, shall be deemed legally equivalent to handwritten signatures.
