In the case that a request is deemed to fall outside of normal circumstances, the engineer may attempt to honour the request anyway on a discretionary basis, but there otherwise exists no lasting obligation to continue working together once the initial master (m1) has been delivered, or a refund has been given, even if the client offers to pay the going rate for subsequent revisions. If for some reason the initial master is unable to be delivered within a timeframe agreed to be reasonable by the engineer, or before a deadline which was clearly stipulated in advance of payment, the client has the right to a full refund of the amount paid for the songs which have not been delivered. Or the client may agree to accept delivery of the master beyond this deadline or reasonable time frame, in which case the client does not have the right to a full refund but may be partially refunded by the engineer to some amount on a discretionary basis.
