In order for myself and my team to serve you effectively and efficiently, we ask that you adhere to some expectations and guidelines regarding delivery of content:

  • Please make sure that all assets provided to myself or my team are provided by the scheduled edit day and constitutes the entirety of what you would like edited.

1. Cancellation: If a project is cancelled within 24 hours before the confirmed day of production (not 24 hours from call time), the client will be charged for 75% of the fee and any Expenses incurred. If a project is cancelled within 48 hours but before 24 hours before call time, the client will be charged for 50% of the Fee and any Expenses incurred. If at any point after work has commenced on the project you choose to cancel the work you will still be liable for all Fees, Production Days and all Expenses already incurred, along with cancellation fee if applicable.

2. Late Payments: Unless otherwise specified or agreed, interest will be charged at 8% above the base rate of the Bank of England on all overdue balances until paid. The Producer will also charge a late fee of £150.

3. Usage, Copyright and Attribution: The final edited products/video masters & images from shoots shall be the Clients property and for their use only. All raw materials and data created by the Producer over the course of the contract, including, but not limited to, film, data, and digital files, shall remain the Producers exclusive property. The raw files/rushes can only be made available if agreed before production, or will incur an extra cost. The Producer reserves the right to use finished video for their own promotion online unless the Client otherwise confirms in writing that the Producer cannot. The Producer cannot exploit the copyright nor grant licenses to exploit it.

4. Storage

The Producer is not required to store the original footage longer than 30 days, but if requested in writing by the Client, footage can be stored for an additional charge. The Producer is not liable for any loss or damage to stored material.

Editing Service - Below states my expectations for my editing services as part of a sole or larger project:​​​

  • My day rate for editing covers an 8 hour day. My working hours are 9am until 5pm or 10am until 6pm. If work is requested beyond these hours for the purpose of a client deadline, I reserve the right to charge overtime at £62.50 per hour. In the case of a tight or same day deadline, please ensure changes are provided swiftly so that we can complete the work within working hours.

  • The client is responsible for picking up changes and human error. Please be vigilant when checking through videos - especially when it comes down to text animation, spelling and titles!

  • The quoted amount of editing days is an estimate. If it takes longer to complete a project I may ask for more edit days, which will then be agreed with the client. On the other hand, if I run under the amount of days, I will let you know that it has taken less days to complete.

  • Unexpected amounts of changes that run over the quoted amount of days, or once a project is already signed off, are subject to a fee depending on how many changse there are - a half day, full day or a £50 one off edit fee. 

3. Filming Service: Below states my expectations for my editing services as part of a sole or larger project:​​​

  • My filming day rates are on a sliding scale, depending on predicted hours for filming and the kit needed.

  • If  filming services run over 10 hours this will be counted as overtime at £62.50 per hour.

  • I also  reserve the right to apply overtime if I feel that it is within reason to the time scale agreed prior to shoot, so please be clear on the size and scale of the project.
