For this reason all reservation fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. The date is not booked or reserved until the deposit is received by the Studio and this contract is not enforceable until deposit is paid.

8. PARKING FEES

Parking fees (valet or self parking at the digression of the Studio) totaling over $20 for each videographers car during the event will be charged to the Client.

9. PACKAGE HOURS AND OVERTIME

All package hours are consecutive. Client will allow at least 30 minutes for setup prior to any event they wish to have captured, however, the Client is NOT billed for “tear down” at the end of the night. There is no credit for unused hours or unused items or credits in packages.

Requested overtime will be billed in 1/2 hour increments at the current rate of $75.00 per half hour, until such time as the Client has departed, informs the Studio to discontinue, or prearranged to end coverage.

10. LATE PAYMENTS

The total balance is due in full at least one calendar month prior to the Event.

Late payments are subject to a late fee of 10% of the total package price. Studio typically reminds its clients of payment deadlines, but it is ultimately the Client’s responsibility to ensure all monies are paid when due, whether or not notice is given. If full payment has not been received by 1 week prior to event, Studio may, in its sole discretion, terminate this agreement without refund of any monies paid.

11. CHANGE IN DATE, TIME OR PACKAGE SELECTION

With the concurrence of the Studio, Client may upgrade Client’s package selection at any time until the day of the event. However, under no circumstances shall Client be permitted to change its selection to a lower-priced package. In case of a change in the time or date of the Event, the Studio shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the change. If the event date is changed to a new date within one year and the Studio is available on the new date, the Studio will shoot on the new date and apply the retainer to the new date minus a $500.00 rescheduling fee. A new contract must be written for the new date, a new retainer made and all payments including balance paid at that time will be adjusted at that time. No refunds of any monies paid will be made if wedding is postponed or canceled a second time. If the Studio is not available or if the event is canceled, the Studio will refund Client’s money less the non-refundable retainer and the Client must notify Studio immediately in writing (in the case of cancellation).

12. COMPLETION OF FINAL PRODUCT

The post-production process typically takes approximately 3-6 weeks from the time all post production materials are received. The completion period is only an approximate length of time and any longer periods necessary for completion will not void this contract. The Studio cannot accept responsibility for final materials lost or damaged in transit.

13. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Any photos, music, slides, other media and names of bridal party to be included in the production are due within 1 week of the event. Any longer periods will delay delivery of the final edits.

It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure the Studio is aware of any travel that may need to be performed on the day of Event. Any travel in addition to that discussed with the Studio may incur additional fees depending on the nature and distance of the travel as well as package selected.

The Studio will provide client with a questionnaire after a deposit is received. The Client is responsible for filling this out in a timely manner and returning it to the Studio. Should any of the provided information change, it is up to the Client to ensure the Studio is made aware of these changes (specifically changes to times or locations!). Client should ensure that any changes that are made are acknowledge in writing by the Studio to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.

14. DVD-R DISCS

If you receive or order a DVD (also referred to as a DVD-R) from us, the disc you receive is 100% DVD-R compliant and needs to be played on DVD-R compliant players only. There is no guarantee that your DVD-R will play in your DVD player if not on an approved list. If the DVD is being sent to another country, Client will notify Studio ahead of time as DVDs must be encoded for the country they will be played in. The Studio is not responsible if the DVD is not able to play in the country of your choice if not notified ahead of time of this issue. Similarly, Blu-Ray discs are encoded to accepted standards and it is the responsibility of the Client to secure a player which can play the media.

15. VENUE, ATTORNEY’S FEES AND APPLICABLE LAW:

The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina. Any court action to enforce this Agreement, or relating or arising out of this Agreement or the services provided by the Studio shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Wake, State of North Carolina. In any proceeding related to any dispute arising from this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear their own attorney’s fees. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby. Unless otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns. Each party represents that all required authorizations for its execution of this Agreement necessary to make this instrument binding in accordance with its terms against such party have been obtained and are in effect.

16. CHARGEBACKS, CREDIT CARD CANCELLATIONS, AND PAYPAL DISPUTES

Where a Client conducts a chargeback of this contract against the Studio, such Client agrees to be held liable to the Studio for the full amount of the chargeback, as well as any attorneys’ fees, collection agency fees, court costs, disbursements, and any other expenses occurred by the Studio in enforcing its rights against that Client under this section including documented lost production time enforcing its rights.

17. PUBLICITY RIGHTS/PROMOTIONAL USE OF IMAGES

The parties agree that the Studio may use images and video from Client’s event for its own commercial use, including, without limitation, promotional videos for exhibition to other potential clients of the Studio both online and offline.

18. CREATIVE CLAUSE

It is understood that the Studio is the exclusive official videographer retained by the Client to cover this event. The Studio is granted full editorial, production and content control by the Client regarding all aspects of the production and post-production services. In case a particular segment of the Event is not recorded, is partially recorded, or is not a part of the edited master tape, it is at the sole discretion of the Studio as the exclusive Producer of the event’s video recording. The Studio additionally reserves the right to determine the number, location, and type of video cameras capturing any discrete segment of the Event.

If something occurred at the wedding that Client does not want to appear in the final product, Client must instruct Studio within 2 weeks following the Event.

If there are any editing or technical errors in the final product, Client must notify Studio of the errors within 2 weeks following the delivery of final products (flash drive/dvd/blu-ray/hard drive/any combination), so corrections can be made. Editing technical errors are corrected at no charge (i.e. spelling, technical errors). After the two weeks notification period has expired, Studio shall not be liable for any requested changes. Additional re-editing after the delivery of the final product will be in the discretion of the Studio, and Client will be charged $125.00 per hour for editing plus duplication fees.

Allow an additional 12-16 weeks for delivery of re-edits. The Studio reserves the exclusive right to edit all video. Client is granted a license to use final films and videos for private, non-proft uses only, unless other permission is granted in writing by the Studio. Original media and “raw footage” is not released to Client and is owned solely by the Studio and maintained for one year.

Client is granted the right to make additional copies of their finished products so long as they are copied without modification. The Studio requires that client not edit or alter the final deliverables in any way. Edits may not be uploaded or shared online except by the Studio.

The Studio cannot guarantee video or audio quality caused by restrictions imposed at and/or by the event location, whether structural, environmental, or otherwise. Because the videographers cannot interrupt or interfere with the ceremony or other events in any way to correct less than satisfactory shooting conditions, the Client shall insure the placement of the bridal party, officiant(s) and decorations does not obscure or block the view of the bride and groom. The Studio will not be held responsible for shots or audio that are missed or omitted because of videographer being blocked or in some way hindered by another person or vendor. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure events they wish to have covered do not occur without the videographer present.

Film lengths in film package listings are a rough estimate based on what typically results from the package selected. It is believed to be generally accurate. However, a final film may be longer or shorter. The Studio reserves the right to make length decisions based off what will result in the best overall final product for the client.

The highlight is to mean an edited video approximately 3-4 minutes in length that is created from various audio and video clips captured throughout the time hired. Generally speaking the audio will be from the vows and the pronouncement. Client agrees to have this film shared online. These films will typically include video from all the major events of the day during the time hired as well as creative shots and detail shots set to licensed music.

Full length videos of major events (“documentary video”) are available as add-ons to the highlight package. Any documentary video footage may include imperfections due to the unpredictable nature of live events, especially weddings. Regardless of package, we generally record all major events and additional edits may be available for purchase as desired before or after the wedding so long as the footage is available and in the opinion of the Studio can be edited into a professional final product for the client.

Additionally, the Studio will make their best efforts to capture all important moments of your day. Unfortunately, because weddings are fast paced and very often unpredictable, the Studio cannot guarantee that it will be able to capture any particular shot, effect, interview, or special request.

19. WHO SERVICES ARE BEING PERFORM FOR/END USER

Studio and Client recognize that weddings (the Event) are complicated with many vendors and many individuals competing for input on how the day should go, it’s schedule, and what should be captured. To simplify matters, Client agrees that regardless of who pays for services or who has signed the contract, the couple listed in Step 1 are ultimately who the services are being performed for. The couple being married will receive final product and receive any rights granted. The couple’s opinions and preferences will be considered by Studio above all others.

20. COPYRIGHTS

Client warrants that he/she has the legal rights to anything the Studio will videotape including photos, audio, music and any other elements used in Client’s final product. Client agrees to indemnify and hold the Studio harmless for any loss, damage, or liability for infringement of any rights arising from the use of their final edits. Client assumes all responsibility for obtaining any necessary permission, clearance permits, access to, hookup fees and admission which may be required to videotape event. The video is for private home use only, and the Client assumes full responsibility and liability for any public performance or display of the video.

21. AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATIONS

This written and signed Agreement constitutes the sole and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding the services and products to be provided by the Studio in connection with the Event. It is intended by each party to constitute the final written memorandum of all of their agreements and understandings in this transaction. No covenants, warranties, and/or representations, expressed or implied, and no promises or prior agreements whatsoever have been made, agreed to, or entered into by the parties hereto which are not expressly set forth herein. If either party to this Agreement has attempted to make such covenants, warranties, and/or representations, promises or prior agreements, they are each superseded hereby and waived. Any waivers, terminations, amendments or modifications of, or additions to, this Agreement must be in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such writing is sought.

STEP 5. REVIEW PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The payment schedule will be as follows:

$750 deposit – NON-REFUNDABLE. DUE IMMEDIATELY – DATE IS NOT BOOKED UNTIL RECEIVED.
100% of remaining balance due 1 month prior to event. It is very important that you make a timely final payment. A 10% late fee (of total contract amount) will be applied to any payments received after the due date. No filming will start until balances are paid in full and unpaid balances may result in the termination of contract without refund.
We will typically send a courtesy reminder towards your due date, but it is your responsibility to ensure balances are paid on time. For your convenience, we can break up payments leading up to your event if desired.
When is my final due date? It is one calendar month before your event, so if your date is May 21st, your due date would simply be April 21st. In the event that the month before your wedding doesn’t have enough days (February/or some events on the 31st), it is the FIRST day of the month of your event. So if you had an event on March 30th, the due date would be March 1st for simplicity sake since February doesn’t have a 30th day. If you need clarification, please let us know immediately and we will clarify for you.
All major credit/debit cards/paypal are accepted online. We will also accept cash (in person, with receipt). Personal checks are accepted with prior approval by the studio via E-mail or on the phone.

By signing below you agree that you have read and agree to all the terms outlined on this page, in all sections and in the contract.
