Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions are for your protection as well as ours. Please read them carefully.

1) Copyright (Screenpost generated material)

Screenpost operates a fair approach to copyright. All copyright vested in the media produced by Screenpost shall be assigned to the Client subject to the following:

a. Payment in full is received from the Client for all outstanding invoices.

b. The Client settles all outstanding invoices within 14 days.

c. The Client grants Screenpost a royalty free license to use all copyright in the media produced by us for our own promotional purposes such as on our website or showreel.

d. The Client agrees not to display or distribute by any means, in part or in whole, privately or publicly the video material until the full amount has been paid.

2) Copyright (material provided by client)

In the event of the Client providing material (video, audio, photographs, logos etc) for inclusion into a Screenpost production, copyright must firstly be obtained from the original copyright owner/material provider. In order for Screenpost to use this material the copyright must be explicitly transferred to Screenpost, or the material to be provided to Screenpost totally free of charge and the client will have to indemnify Screenpost Video against any future possible claims, disputes, expenses or similar that may arise for a third party concerning usage of such material.

Screenpost will reserve the right to use the final production in full or part content for promotional purposes.

3) Distribution

The Client will agree not to display or distribute, in part or in whole, by any means privately or publicly the video material until the full amount has been paid.

4) Performers Release usage

Screenpost advises and recommends its Clients to use and enforce Performers Release Forms. No discounts or liability will be accepted by Screenpost if the production must be re-edited due to a Performer refusing permission to show their image or use their audio in whatever form.

5) Payment terms

Our payment terms are strictly 14 days from date of invoice. This Term overrides any Terms and Conditions stated in a Purchase Order and in the event of an order being placed, the Client accepts this Term. Screenpost reserve the right to add an accumulative percentage on late payments as dictated under the UK government late payments scheme

6) Approval / amendments of draft footage (1 set of minor amendments)

On the majority of projects, a ‘draft’ version of the production will be forwarded to the Client for their review. This draft may receive one set of minor revisions only, which is included in the original agreed cost. Subsequent revisions thereafter or a major re-edit will incur an additional daily rate of £320.00 per part day or part thereof.

7) Health and Safety

In all instances Screenpost will reserve the right to remove any of its personnel and / or equipment from a location if it is deemed unsafe or if they are subjected to abusive or aggressive behaviour. In this instance the Client will be liable for any costs incurred as a result of this. Screenpost will observe the Clients site safety rules at all times and will liase with the Health and Safety Manager if deemed necessary.

8) Insurance’s (people, equipment etc.)

Screenpost carries public liability insurance cover of £5 million pounds. Upgraded specific project insurance cover can be provided if required upon request.

10) Aborting filming (on shoot day) or re shooting due to clients lack of organisation.

In the event of filming being delayed or aborted due to a lack of organisation from the Client, Screenpost reserves the right to charge the relevant days filming costs. A re-visit to site to carry out further works may incur additional cost.

11) Changing filming dates

In the event of the Client wishing to change the filming date we insist on a minimum of two weeks notice. Failure to comply will result in the Client becoming 100% liable for all costs incurred.

12) Equipment substitution / failure

In the unlikely event that Screenpost experiences equipment failure or difficulties, all efforts will be made to find suitable replacement equipment as soon as possible. If filming is cancelled due to equipment failure Screenpost will waive its charges for that day and schedule another day filming at the Client’s discretion. No further claims or liability will be accepted.
