Working with Mind the Mic - Our Terms and Conditions
We like to keep things pretty simple around here, but for the purpose of clarity, here’s our Terms and Conditions.
TLDR: You own all the content we create for you. If you’re not happy with the work, we’ll make it right. To keep the project on track, we need you to be responsive and reasonably available to answer questions. We keep everything you share confidential. We can never guarantee that you’ll get more speaking roles as a result of working with us, but we’ll do everything we can to set you up for success.
Important note re Timing and Delays: Throughout the duration of our work together, you have full access to our team of experts for consultation on anything related to your speaking. We are happy to review and share feedback on speaking proposals, speech outlines, new opportunities, etc. If our work is delayed more than 2 weeks as a result lack of responsiveness or persistent unavailability, a consultation rate of $500 / week will be billed. We will clearly notify you when you enter this 2 week extension period and are approaching this charge.
We make no guarantee that your collaboration with us will result in stage bookings. We will leverage our full expertise, connections, and experience to set you up for success.
