LaunchBox Master Terms & Conditions

1. Scope, Parties & Services Covered

These Master Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern every commercial engagement with the LaunchBox operating entities, regardless of how the engagement is booked (invoice, click-wrap, written agreement, in-person booking, or electronic acceptance).

The LaunchBox operating entities are:

• LaunchBox Collective LLC ("LBC") — a Texas limited liability company providing facility and studio rentals, equipment rentals, event rentals, memberships, coworking, and related services, including under DBAs such as LaunchBox and The LightBox.

• LaunchBox Media Group LLC ("LBMG") — a Texas limited liability company providing video, audio, photography, podcast, broadcast, post-production, virtual production, music composition and production (collectively, "LaunchBox Music"), and agency services (collectively, "Brand Paths"), including under DBAs such as LBMG, LaunchBox Studios, and LaunchBox Productions.

LBC and LBMG are each wholly-owned operating subsidiaries of LaunchBox Holdings LLC, which is held by the Pfahlert Family Private Trust ("PFPT"). In these Terms, LBC and LBMG are referred to collectively as "LaunchBox," "we," or "us," and the booking party is referred to as "Client." The contracting LaunchBox entity for a given engagement is the entity providing the service booked; where both provide services in a single engagement, both are parties as to their respective services.

Services covered include, without limitation: studio and stage rentals (Infinity Stage, LightBox Studio, Podcast Studios, Content Kitchen, ADR/VO Booth, Virtual LED Broadcast Studio), equipment rentals, event and venue rentals, coworking and membership plans, video and photo production, audio engineering, broadcast engineering, virtual production, music composition and production, podcast production, post-production, creative direction, brand strategy, Brand Paths engagements, and all related professional services.

 

2. Definitions

• "Facility Rental" — the reservation of a room, stage, studio, or space without engaging LBMG crew, engineer, or agency service.

• "Equipment Rental" — the rental of LBC/LBMG-owned gear (cameras, lenses, audio interfaces, microphones, lighting, etc.) without engaging LBMG crew or engineers.

• "LBMG Crew" — any LBMG-provided camera operator, audio engineer, lighting technician, grip/gaff, producer, director, switch engineer, broadcast engineer, teleprompter operator, DP, editor, colorist, music producer, composer, or other production/technical personnel billed as LBMG labor.

• "Virtual LED Broadcast Studio" — the virtual production environment at 2726 Lipscomb Street; may only be operated with an LBMG broadcast/virtual-production engineer; therefore inherently a crewed engagement.

• "Brand Paths" — LBMG's agency arm, including the Foundation Path (3 months), Growth Path (6 months), Partnership Path (12 months), and any creative-direction, strategy, or agency service.

• "LaunchBox Music" — LBMG's music composition, production, recording, engineering, and licensing operations.

• "Masters" — raw footage, session files, project files, audio stems, RAW camera files, LED volume renders, multitrack recordings, color/grade projects, and all underlying production assets.

• "Sound Recording" — a fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds under 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102(a)(7) (the recorded performance / "master recording").

• "Musical Composition" / "Musical Work" — the underlying song (melody, harmony, lyrics) under 17 U.S.C. § 102(a)(2). Sound recordings and musical compositions are distinct copyrights.

• "Deliverables" — finished, exported, client-facing files produced by LBMG.

• "Event" — a defined-date booking of LaunchBox space for a gathering, celebration, activation, fundraiser, wedding, corporate function, or similar occasion, whether public or private.

 

3. Engagement Tiers & Intellectual-Property Ownership

Ownership of creative work produced in or through LaunchBox depends on the engagement tier. Every booking falls into exactly one tier.

 

3.1 Tier 1 — Facility and/or Equipment Rental (Client-Owned)

Where Client rents a room, stage, studio, coworking space, or LaunchBox-owned equipment without engaging LBMG crew, engineer, or agency service, and brings its own operators, directors, hosts, musicians, producers, or technical personnel:

• Client owns all creative works Client creates in the space or with the rented equipment. LaunchBox asserts no copyright, no license-back, and no work-made-for-hire claim.

• This includes sound recordings and musical compositions Client produces independently.

• Rental is a license to use the space and/or gear, not a production engagement. LaunchBox is not the "producer of record" for Tier 1 bookings.

• No LBMG production credit is required; voluntary location credit welcomed.

• Client is responsible for its own recording, backup, and storage.

• Client is liable for loss or damage to rented equipment per the Equipment Rental Agreement.

3.2 Tier 2 — LBMG Crew / Engineer Engagement

Where Client engages any LBMG crew or engineer (whether as part of a package, added to a rental, or hired a la carte), LBMG becomes the production company of record. Unless a separate signed written agreement states otherwise:

• All video, audio, photographic, lighting, design, virtual-production, and digital materials created during the engagement are original works of authorship under 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, and 201(a), authored by LBMG, and the exclusive intellectual property of LBMG.

• Client receives a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use final Deliverables for the Client's stated brand, campaign, or distribution purpose.

• All Masters remain LBMG property under 17 U.S.C. § 202 (copyright distinct from possession of any copy).

• Transfer of ownership requires a signed written Rights Transfer Agreement per 17 U.S.C. § 204(a) and Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 26.01.

3.3 Tier 3 — Virtual LED Broadcast Studio

All bookings of the Virtual LED Broadcast Studio are Tier 2 engagements by design, because the volume, render engine, camera tracking, and broadcast pipeline are inseparable from LBMG technical operation.

3.4 Tier 4 — Brand Paths / Agency Engagements

Where Client engages LBMG for Brand Paths, creative direction, show development, distribution strategy, branding, sponsorship-deck creation, media coaching, scripting, set design, or other agency-level services, all Tier 2 IP terms apply. Additionally, strategic, creative, and brand-development work product (treatments, scripts, shot lists, look books, brand books, style guides, distribution plans, sponsorship decks) remains LBMG property with Client receiving a non-exclusive license for its stated campaign use, unless expressly assigned in a separate, signed Brand Paths engagement agreement (which controls in any conflict).

3.5 Rights Transfer / Master Buyouts

Full ownership transfer requires a signed Rights Transfer Agreement and payment of an IP Buyout Fee (typically 200–300% of total production value). Partial transfers (e.g., exclusive sync license, master-use buyout) are available and priced per project.

 

4. LaunchBox Music — Sound Recordings & Musical Compositions

Music carries two separate copyrights: sound recording (17 U.S.C. §§ 102(a)(7), 114) and musical composition (17 U.S.C. §§ 102(a)(2), 115). They are treated separately under these Terms.

 

4.1 Client-Produced Music (Tier 1)

Musician records at LaunchBox without LBMG engineer: Client owns 100% of both the sound recording and the composition. LaunchBox has no interest.

4.2 LBMG-Engineered Music (Tier 2)

LBMG engineer tracks, produces, mixes, or masters Client-brought music:

• Sound Recording: LBMG is producer of record and owns the master under 17 U.S.C. § 201(a), subject to Client's non-exclusive license for stated use, unless a signed Rights Transfer Agreement assigns the master to Client.

• Musical Composition: LBMG claims no ownership of the underlying composition by default where Client brings the song. Any LBMG composition-level contribution (co-writing) must be documented in a signed Producer Agreement or Split Sheet. Verbal splits are void under § 204(a) and Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 26.01.

• Producer Points & Royalties: must be in a signed Producer Agreement; absent one, LBMG compensation is the invoiced engineering fee and Client's license is paid-up on settlement.

• Sync, master-use, and mechanical licensing handled per § 4.4 below.

4.3 LBMG Original Compositions (Music Composed by LBMG for Podcasts, Shows, Productions & Events)

Where LBMG composes original music for a Client engagement — including theme music, score, underscore, stings, beds, bumpers, intros, outros, transitions, walk-ins, walk-outs, event cues, entrance music, background cues, sound design, and original songs for podcasts, shows, films, video productions, live events, or corporate activations — LBMG owns both the sound recording and the underlying musical composition, established under 17 U.S.C. § 201(a), the work-made-for-hire doctrine (§ 201(b)) for employee compositions, and written specially-commissioned-work + present-tense assignment language (§ 101, § 204(a)) in contractor engagements.

Client's rights to LBMG original compositions follow one of two paths:

Path A — License with Credit (default). Non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use the LBMG composition within the finished Deliverable for the stated production, show, podcast, event, or campaign, provided that credit appears as:

Original music by LaunchBox Media Group

in closing titles, show notes, video descriptions, program inserts, or the equivalent distribution field. LBMG retains all other rights, including library, reuse, and third-party licensing rights. Client may not re-license or sublicense.

Path B — Rights Purchase (Buyout). Client may acquire expanded or exclusive rights by executing a signed Music Rights Purchase Agreement per § 204(a). Tiers include:

• Exclusive Sync License (exclusive use in a defined production/series/campaign; LBMG retains copyright)

• Master-Use Buyout (master transferred; composition retained by LBMG)

• Full Copyright Assignment (both transferred; LBMG retains portfolio/case-study right)

Buyout fees are quoted per composition based on scope, distribution, and exclusivity. Absent a signed Music Rights Purchase Agreement, Path A applies by default.

4.4 LaunchBox Music Library

Compositions created under § 4.3 may be retained in and licensed from the LaunchBox Music Library for use in other LBMG productions and for third-party sync licensing, subject to any exclusivity granted to a prior Client under Path B.

4.5 Sampling, Interpolations & Third-Party Music

Client is solely responsible for clearing samples, interpolations, covers, or third-party musical material incorporated into a production and indemnifies LBMG against any third-party claim.

4.6 Mechanical Licensing

Compulsory mechanical licensing under 17 U.S.C. § 115 and the Music Modernization Act (17 U.S.C. § 1401 et seq.) is administered by the composition owner. Where LBMG owns the composition, LBMG administers mechanicals; otherwise, the composition owner does.

4.7 Unauthorized Use

Reuse, modification, synchronization, sublicensing, or distribution of LBMG music outside the granted license constitutes copyright infringement of both the sound recording and composition under 17 U.S.C. § 501, with remedies under §§ 502–505, including statutory damages up to $150,000 per willful infringement (§ 504(c)(2)) and attorney's-fee recovery under § 505.

 

5. Credit & Attribution Requirements

 

5.1 Mandatory Credit (Tiers 2–4)

Every LBMG-produced work used under the default non-exclusive license must display:

Produced by LaunchBox Media Group — Recorded at LaunchBox Collective, Fort Worth, TX

in closing titles, show notes, video descriptions, program inserts, or the equivalent distribution field. Productions incorporating LBMG original music must additionally display:

Original music by LaunchBox Media Group

5.2 Credit Waiver

Omitting or concealing credit requires a signed Credit Waiver & Rights Buyout Agreement prior to release. Waiver fee: 25% of total production cost or $1,000 USD minimum, whichever is greater. Fee grants the right to publish without visible LaunchBox branding but leaves copyrights with LBMG. Full IP transfer requires a separate Rights Transfer Agreement.

5.3 Unauthorized Removal

Deleting, obscuring, or omitting the required credit without a signed waiver constitutes:

• Breach of these Terms;

• Copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501, with statutory damages under § 504(c);

• Visual Artists Rights Act violation where applicable (§ 106A);

• False designation of origin under Lanham Act 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) and trademark infringement under § 1114;

• Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act violation (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.46); and

• Texas common-law unfair competition.

5.4 Tier 1 Exclusion

Tier 1 Facility and Equipment Rental bookings do not carry a mandatory credit because LaunchBox did not produce the work. Voluntary "Recorded at LaunchBox Collective" location credit is welcomed.

 

6. Raw Footage, Masters & Project Files (Tiers 2–4)

All Masters remain LBMG property. Copies provided to Client, editors, or contractors for post-production or reference purposes do not convey ownership under 17 U.S.C. § 202. Editors or subcontractors receiving Masters are licensees only. Unauthorized duplication, resale, or publication beyond the licensed use constitutes copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501, potential criminal liability under § 506, DMCA violation under §§ 1201–1205, Texas common-law misappropriation, Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act violation (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ch. 134A), and Defend Trade Secrets Act violation (18 U.S.C. § 1836).

7.12 Returned Payments, Chargebacks & Disputes

Chargebacks, ACH returns, and bounced checks incur a $50 administrative fee per occurrence plus any bank fees, suspend all license grants, and constitute material breach if not cured within 10 business days.

 

8. Use of Facilities, Equipment & Staff

Use of LaunchBox facilities or equipment alone constitutes acceptance of these Terms but does not, by itself, engage LBMG as production provider or convey any LBMG copyright interest in Client's work (see § 3.1). Engagement of LBMG crew, engineer, Virtual LED Studio, or agency/Brand Paths services constitutes acceptance of LBMG as the production company of record for that engagement (see §§ 3.2–3.4).

 

9. Non-Solicitation of Staff

Client may not solicit, retain, contract, or employ LBMG personnel (W-2 employees, contractors, DPs, engineers, composers, or crew introduced through LaunchBox) outside the LaunchBox engagement without LaunchBox's prior written consent, for the duration of the engagement and twelve (12) months thereafter. Breach triggers liquidated damages equal to twelve months of the solicited party's LaunchBox-billed services and action under Texas common-law unfair-competition and tortious-interference principles.

 

10. Confidentiality & Trade Secrets

LaunchBox workflows, pricing, virtual-production pipelines, client lists, unreleased project files, render assets, and technical configurations are confidential information and, where applicable, trade secrets under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ch. 134A) and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836). Client, its agents, and any recipient of LBMG Masters shall not disclose, disseminate, or exploit such information outside the licensed use.

 

11. Third-Party Materials, Talent Releases & Clearances

Client is solely responsible for rights, releases, and clearances for all third-party music, footage, images, fonts, trademarks, talent releases (under Tex. Prop. Code §§ 26.001–26.015 and Texas common-law right of publicity), location releases, and pre-existing IP incorporated into the production. Client represents all such rights are secured and indemnifies LaunchBox per § 13.

 

12. Portfolio & Promotional Use

LBMG retains the right to reference, display, publish, and excerpt completed LBMG-produced works for marketing, case-study, educational, portfolio, and award-submission purposes, unless Client purchases a Portfolio Exclusion Waiver equal to 10% of total project cost. Does not apply to Tier 1 Facility/Equipment Rental bookings.

 

13. Representations, Warranties & Indemnification

Client represents that it has authority to enter these Terms, that Client-supplied materials do not infringe any third-party right, and that its use of Deliverables complies with applicable law. Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LBC, LBMG, LaunchBox Holdings LLC, the Pfahlert Family Private Trust, and their respective officers, members, managers, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, and contractors from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from Client's breach or Client's use of Deliverables outside the granted license.

 

14. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, declared emergencies, government orders, war, civil unrest, utility failures, or labor disputes. A force-majeure event suspends performance for its duration; event cancellations under force majeure follow the reschedule provisions of § 7.4.

 

15. Insurance

For Events (§ 7.4) and certain Equipment Rentals (§ 7.5), LaunchBox may require Client to maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, naming LBC and/or LBMG as additional insured, and to provide a certificate of insurance prior to the engagement. LaunchBox maintains its own operational insurance but makes no representation of coverage for Client's persons, property, or activities.

 

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LaunchBox's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any engagement shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by Client to LaunchBox for the engagement giving rise to the claim. LaunchBox shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

17. Entity Structure & Operational Continuity

The LaunchBox enterprise is organized as follows: Pfahlert Family Private Trust holds LaunchBox Holdings LLC, which owns two Texas LLC operating subsidiaries: LaunchBox Collective LLC (including DBAs such as LaunchBox and The LightBox) and LaunchBox Media Group LLC (including DBAs such as LBMG, LaunchBox Studios, and LaunchBox Productions).

From time to time, subsidiary, affiliated, or DBA entities may be formed, reorganized, renamed, merged, or dissolved as part of ongoing enterprise operation. Such entity-level changes do not affect the applicability of these Terms, the ownership of LBC or LBMG intellectual property, or the enforceability of any agreement entered with any LaunchBox entity. All rights, obligations, and intellectual property held by or acquired by any LaunchBox operating entity, predecessor entity, or DBA are held for the benefit of and are assignable among LaunchBox Collective LLC, LaunchBox Media Group LLC, LaunchBox Holdings LLC, and the Pfahlert Family Private Trust. Any agreement entered with a LaunchBox trade name, DBA, or predecessor entity shall be deemed entered with the applicable current LaunchBox operating entity and shall remain in full force notwithstanding any entity-level change.

 

18. Governing Law, Venue & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable federal law including the U.S. Copyright Act (Title 17), the Lanham Act (Title 15), and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (Title 18).

Exclusive venue lies in the District and County Courts of Tarrant County, Texas, and, for federal claims, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.

Prior to litigation, the parties shall attempt good-faith written resolution for thirty (30) days, followed, if unresolved, by non-binding mediation in Tarrant County, Texas. This provision does not limit either party's right to seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property.

 

19. Versioning & Acceptance

• These Terms are Version 1.0 (Master T&C), consolidating and superseding all prior LaunchBox Production & IP Policies and Invoice Terms.

• Each engagement is governed by the version of these Terms in effect on the date of Client's first booking confirmation, deposit, or written engagement for that project, except where a separately signed agreement states otherwise.

• Prior versions remain binding as to engagements entered under them.

• Booking any facility, engaging any crew or agency service, paying any invoice, confirming any session, or checking any acceptance box constitutes full acceptance of the version in effect on that date. Acceptance may occur electronically via website, email, invoice payment, or payment gateway.

 

20. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with any signed engagement agreement, Rights Transfer Agreement, Credit Waiver, Music Rights Purchase Agreement, Brand Paths agreement, Event contract, or Equipment Rental Agreement, constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior oral or written communications, which are void under 17 U.S.C. § 204(a) and Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 26.01.
