Fame Lite Terms of Service

1. Service Overview

Fame Lite is a comprehensive subscription-based podcast production service that handles editing, deliverables, and publishing for your podcast episodes. Production is managed through a Single-Track Queue System, meaning our team focuses on one episode at a time per client, processed strictly in a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) order.

  • Standard FIFO Rule: A new episode enters production only after the current episode in your queue has been fully completed and delivered.
  • High Frequency / Twice Weekly Exception: For subscribers on any 8-episodes-per-month plan, production features 2 simultaneous tracks. This system guarantees consistent turnaround times, highly focused production, and a predictable workflow.

2. Included Software Suite (Fame OS)

Every Fame Lite production subscription includes full access to the comprehensive Fame OS software suite at no extra cost. Active subscribers lock in this software access at their current price. The included suite features:

  • Episodes & Review: Track every episode from upload to delivery with frame-accurate review pages to approve, request changes, and download final assets.
  • Outreach Copilot: A Chrome extension that uses AI to score LinkedIn prospects against your show, drafts customized outreach messages, and logs them directly to your portal.
  • Campaigns: Access ready-made email sequences for guests and sponsors that send straight from your own mailbox and track seamlessly within the portal.
  • Fame Booking: A fully branded booking page for your recordings, allowing guests to pick a slot that lands directly in your portal.
  • Fame Host: Included podcast hosting, distribution to all major directories, and a dedicated show site on your own subdomain.
  • Search & AI: Automatic tracking and refreshing of your Apple and Spotify search rankings for your targeted terms.
  • Link Tracking: Mint custom short links for show notes and social posts, and monitor the clicks right in your portal.
  • Team Access: Passwordless login for your entire team, ensuring everyone sees the same show data without sharing credentials.

3. Subscription Plans, Flexibility & Pricing

Clients can choose between Video + Audio or Audio Only formats across four monthly tier options.

  • Account Flexibility: Subscriptions can be paused, cancelled, upgraded, or downgraded at any time. To make any account changes, the client needs to inform the Fame Lite team via email at lite@fame.so or on their dedicated Slack channel.

  • Bi-Weekly Plan (2 episodes / month): $347 / month
  • Weekly Plan (4 episodes / month): $597 / month
  • Weekly Plus Plan (6 episodes / month): $747 / month

4. Production Workflow

  • Queue Management: Episodes are arranged based on submission order, the requested publishing date provided in the submission form, and client instructions via Slack or email. Unless you are on a High Frequency / Twice Weekly plan, the next episode will begin production only after the previous one is finalized.
  • Submission Requirements: Episodes only enter the active production queue once all required materials are successfully submitted. This includes:
    • Completed episode submission form
    • Raw video or audio files
    • Editing notes or specific instructions
    • Required brand assets (logo, intro/outro, music, etc.)

5. Turnaround Times

  • Production Turnaround: 72 hours for all standard plans.
    • Exception (High Frequency / Twice Weekly Plans): Because 2 episodes are processed simultaneously on the 8-episodes-per-month plans, each active track maintains its own independent 72-hour turnaround time.
  • Revision Turnaround: 1 Business Day, provided instructions are clear and complete. Revisions are also processed using the FIFO queue system.
  • Daily Submission Cutoff: 12:00 PM EST. Any episode or revision submitted after this time will begin its turnaround clock on the following business day.

6. Deliverables (Per Episode)

Deliverables depend on your chosen subscription plan (Video + Audio or Audio Only).

  • Delivery: Final files and download links are delivered seamlessly directly through the client portal or your selected communication channel.

10. File Management & Submission

File management and submission can be done via the provided Client Portal.

Additionally, clients receive a highly structured Google Drive workspace containing three primary folders:

  • Show Assets Folder: For core assets like logos, intro/outro files, music, and thumbnail templates.
  • New Episode Submission Folder: For raw recordings, specific editing notes, and episode-exclusive assets.
  • Delivered Episodes Folder: A permanent archive of finalized episode files.

Episodes are triggered into production via the Episode Submission Form, where you will specify the title, target publishing date/time, file links, and notes.
