Coaching Terms

6-Week Finish Line · 1:1 Music Production Coaching
Last updated: October 28, 2026

These terms apply to all 1:1 coaching programs booked with Amita. By booking and paying, you agree to them.

1. Coach

Michael Tsogias (Amita Music)
Thomas-Str. 12
28213 Bremen, Germany
Email: studio@amitamusic.de

2. The Program

1:1 music production coaching on your own track. The program includes:

• 6 live 1:1 online sessions of 60 minutes each (one per week), working directly on your project
• Feedback via DM or voice message between sessions. I reply within 24–48 hours on working days

The content of each session is shaped by your goals and the needs of your track.

Individual agreements: any bonuses (e.g. a final mix check or master) or changes agreed in writing before payment (DM or email) are part of your program. Individual agreements take precedence over these terms. Services beyond that (e.g. full production, mixing by me, additional tracks) are agreed separately.

3. Program Period & Sessions

3.1 The first session is scheduled within 14 days after payment. All 6 sessions must be used within 8 weeks of the first session. DM/voice support runs for the same period. Sessions not used within this period expire, unless they were missed because of me.

3.2 Sessions take place online (e.g. Zoom or Google Meet). You receive a calendar invite with the link. Please be on time with your project ready to open.

3.3 Both of us can reschedule a session free of charge with at least 24 hours' notice. A session you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or miss without notice, counts as used. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the session may be shortened accordingly. If I have to cancel, the session is rescheduled at no cost.

3.4 Sessions are recorded, and I mention this at the start of each call. You receive the recording to rewatch for your personal use. I use recordings to prepare your sessions and delete them no later than 6 months after the program ends, unless you have allowed promotional use (7.3).

4. Payment

4.1 The price and payment plan are shown at checkout or agreed in writing before booking. According to § 19 UStG (German VAT Act) no value-added tax is charged. Payment via Stripe or another method agreed in writing.

4.2 With a payment plan, the instalments are part of one total fee, not a subscription. Unless agreed otherwise, the second instalment is due before the fourth session.

4.3 If a payment is not made when due, I may pause the program until it is paid. The program period is extended by the length of the pause.

5. Responsibilities

5.1 You work on your track between sessions, do the tasks we agree on, and keep backups of your own projects and files.

5.2 You make sure all material you bring (lyrics, melodies, recordings, samples, plugins, software) is original, properly licensed or legally owned.

5.3 I show up prepared, on time and fully present, give honest and constructive feedback, and treat your music and information confidentially.

6. Results

Coaching is guidance, not a done-for-you service. I don't produce the track for you and I don't guarantee a specific result, number of streams, income or success. How far your track gets depends on your own work between sessions. Any goals we discuss are targets, not promises, unless a specific promise was agreed in writing (see 2).

7. Rights & Ownership

7.1 Your track belongs to you. All rights in the composition (publishing) and the master recording stay 100% with you, including any master I deliver. I claim no royalties, splits or publishing share and make no GEMA (or PRO) registration.

7.2 Credit: if I mixed or mastered the track and you release it, please credit me in the official metadata as mixing and/or mastering engineer (Michael Tsogias) where your distributor allows it. A shout-out (@amita.musicc) is welcome but not required.

7.3 Promotion: I may ask you whether I can use short clips from our sessions, excerpts of your track, before/after comparisons or your feedback for promotion (e.g. Instagram, TikTok, my website). I only do this with your separate yes (a DM is enough). Saying no has no effect on your program. You can withdraw your yes at any time; I will then stop using the material and take down posts that show you or your music.

7.4 Templates, checklists, presets and other materials I share remain my property. You may use them for your own music but not share, sell or republish them.

8. Confidentiality

We both keep unreleased music, project files and personal or business information shared during the program confidential and share them with third parties only with the other's consent. 7.3 remains unaffected.

9. Cancellation & Refunds

9.1 If you cancel before the first session, all payments are refunded in full.

9.2 After the first session, payments are non-refundable. Remaining sessions stay available within the program period. Your statutory right of withdrawal remains unaffected (see 10).

9.3 If I cancel the program or am unable to continue (e.g. serious illness), you receive a refund for all sessions not yet delivered.

10. Right of Withdrawal (Consumers)

If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day the contract is concluded (your payment).

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform me (Michael Tsogias, Thomas-Str. 12, 28213 Bremen, Germany, studio@amitamusic.de) of your decision by a clear statement, e.g. an email. You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not required. To meet the deadline, it is enough to send your notice before the withdrawal period expires.

Effects of withdrawal: if you withdraw, I will refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day I receive your notice, using the same payment method you used, unless expressly agreed otherwise. You will not be charged any fees for this refund. If you asked for the coaching to begin during the withdrawal period, you pay a reasonable amount proportionate to the services already provided up to your withdrawal, compared with the full program.

The right of withdrawal ends early once the program has been fully delivered, if you asked for it to start during the withdrawal period and acknowledged that you lose your right of withdrawal on full delivery.

11. Coaching Is Not Therapy

Coaching is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal, financial or tax advice. You remain responsible for your own decisions.

12. Liability

I am liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. In all other cases, my liability is limited to the fee paid for the program. I am not liable for loss of data or files; please keep your own backups (5.1).

13. General Provisions

These terms are governed by German law. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. Changes and side agreements require text form (email or DM is enough). Should one provision be invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force. Changes to these terms do not apply to programs already booked.
