3. Scheduling and Appointments

Appointment scheduling is available via online submission. We will endeavor to select a time that considers potential weather conditions; however, ensuring favorable conditions at the scheduled time is ultimately the responsibility of the Client.

3.2. Right to Reschedule

The Company reserves the right to change, modify, or reschedule Your appointment based on logistical needs, weather conditions, or other factors necessary to best serve Our network of clients. In such instances, You will be notified via phone call, text, and email as soon as reasonably practicable.

3.3. Pay to Book

Full payment for the selected service package is required at the time of booking to secure Your appointment on Our calendar.

3.4. Confirmation and On-Site Cancellation/Rebooking

We will confirm Your appointment one (1) hour prior to Our team’s departure to the shoot location. If the appointment is cancelled or rebooked by the Client on-site after this one-hour confirmation, a late cancellation/rebooking fee equivalent to 25% of the total session fee will apply.

4. Travel and Parking Charges

4.1. Mileage Charges

Mileage charges will be waived for most appointments. However, if a shoot location involves a round-trip distance of one hundred (100) miles or more from Our team’s current location (either their residence or the Company office), a travel fee of $1.00 per mile for the excess mileage will be added to the total appointment cost.

4.2. Parking Fees

5.2.1. Retainer packages for three (3) and six (6) month commitments are paid in monthly installments as agreed upon at the initiation of the retainer.

5.2.2. The first monthly installment is due upon initiation of the retainer agreement to secure the services.

5.2.3. Non-payment of any subsequent monthly installment by its due date constitutes a material breach of contract. In the event of such a breach, the Company reserves the right to suspend all services and/or terminate the retainer agreement. The Client will remain liable for any outstanding payments up to the date of termination and any applicable early termination fees or damages as stipulated in the specific retainer agreement.

5.3. Service Cancellation Credit

In the event that a shoot or service package (excluding retainers, which are subject to their own terms) needs to be cancelled entirely by the Client with proper notice as defined herein, and has been paid in full, the paid amount may be credited to Your account for future services, valid for one (1) year from the date of cancellation. No cash refunds will be issued.

6. Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy (Non-Retainer Services)

6.1. Flexibility

We strive to be flexible in rescheduling appointments due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Cancellations made by the Client with less than forty-eight (48) hours' notice prior to the scheduled appointment time will incur a $100.00 cancellation fee.

A "no-show" is defined as the Client not being available or the property not being accessible thirty (30) minutes past the scheduled booking time. No-shows are subject to a $100.00 cancellation fee.

6.4. On-Site Cancellation/Rebooking (Post-Confirmation)

As stated in Section 3.4, if an appointment is cancelled or rebooked by the Client on-site after Our one-hour pre-departure confirmation, a fee of 25% of the total session cost will apply.

7. Filming, Video Production, and Creative Discretion

8.3. Refusal of Service

We reserve the right to refuse video or other media services for any reason, at Our sole discretion.

9. Property Readiness

9.1. Client Responsibility

The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that the property is "shoot-ready" prior to Our team’s scheduled arrival time. A pre-shoot checklist will be provided with Your appointment confirmation, detailing recommended preparations such as turning on all lights, decluttering spaces, removing personal items, and ensuring vehicles are removed from driveways or other areas to be filmed.

9.2. "AS-IS" Filming

The Company is not responsible for staging, cleaning, moving objects, or any other property preparation. The property will be filmed "AS-IS" upon Our team's arrival.

10. Return Charges/Reshoot Fees

If a reshoot or return visit is required due to the property not being ready as per Section 9, or due to changes in decor requested by the Client after the initial shoot, or for requests for additional footage beyond the original scope that necessitate a new site visit, a fee of $150.00 (or a higher amount commensurate with the scope of the reshoot) may be applied at Our discretion.

11. Asset Delivery

11.1. Delivery Timeline

The final edited video will typically be delivered within seven (7) business days of the shoot date. Any signature media or more complex projects may require up to fourteen (14) business days for delivery. These timelines are estimates and may vary based on project complexity and current workload.

13. Video Revisions

13.1. Complimentary First Round

The first round of reasonable video revisions is complimentary, provided that such revisions are within the original scope of the project and do not arise from a lack of property readiness or changes to the property post-shoot.

Any subsequent rounds of revisions, or revisions outside the original scope, will be billed at a rate of $100.00 per hour, with a one-hour minimum.

14. Asset Rights and License (Service Deliverables)
