INTRODUCTION

By placing an order for services (whether verbally, in writing or electronic form) (whether video production, photography or otherwise), he/she who places the order (“the Client”) agrees to enter into a legally binding contract with the Supplier, which is governed by the terms as set out below.

 

DEFINITIONS

 “The Supplier” The supplier of the service

​

 “Video Production Services” This includes any services provided by the Supplier connected to video

​

“Filming” References to this word or any derivative thereof are not necessarily relation to analogue film, but also to digital methods of recording motion.

​

“The Events to Film” That which the Client would like to be filmed or photographed and which the Supplier has agreed to film or photograph at a certain time and date and for an agreed period

​

FINAL PRODUCT

​

Filming includes (and is limited to) the Supplier, or any such sub-contractor as the Supplier should independently choose, appearing at a location ("The Location") (agreed between the Supplier and the Contractor) and filming The Events to Film. It is the Client’s responsibility to provide and control the Events to Film and to provide access to the Location. Filming will be provided at an hourly rate to be agreed. In default of agreement, the rate will be £140 per hour.

​

In the event that the Supplier is engaged to provide a service for a certain period of time, the service should end before the end of that period, for whatever reason, the Client will still be liable to pay the amount agreed. For example, if the Supplier is engaged to film for 8 hours but finishes after 4 hours, the Client is still liable to pay for 8 hours.

​

Editing is a separate service to be provide upon request at an hourly rate to be agreed. In default of agreement, the rate will be £120 per hour. The Supplier will, using the footage or photographs captured of the Events to Film (and any other such footage as the Supplier should deem appropriate) provide an edited video to the Client. The Supplier has complete discretion over the content, style, output resolution, quality, length (or any other such parameter within the control of the Supplier) of the Edit. The Supplier will aim to provide the Edit to the Client within 3 months.  The Edit will be provided to the Client electronically. 

​

If the Client should request it expressly before the date of the Events to Film and provides the Supplier with an appropriate Solid State Drive (“SSD”) with sufficient capacity, the Supplier will transfer the unedited footage of the Events to Film to the SSD and return it to the Client at the Client’s expense. The Supplier does not accept responsibility for the reliability of any drive (whether SSD, hard drive or otherwise) or the reliability of the delivery of the footage to the Client. The Supplier reserves the right irrevocably to delete the footage and/or photographs recorded of the Events to Film and any other such relevant footage, audio, photographs (or anything else in his possession) at any time after the provision of an edit to the Client.

​

The Client accepts the Supplier’s decisions on creativity.

​

Further to an order for any other Services, the Client accepts the Supplier’s decisions on creativity.
