## Engineer kill fees.

If a client does not like the mix and/or master that the engineer has submitted for review and wants to cancel the project, there is a kill fee offered to the engineer and a refund offered to the artist.

Here is a link to the **[refund/kill fee breakdown upon project cancellation](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/how-do-i-cancel-my-project?hsLang=en)**.
