Please review all terms carefully before signing. This agreement is between Devai Productions and the client listed below and governs the scope, payment, and delivery of all contracted services.
1. Parties. This agreement is entered into between Devai Productions, a sole proprietorship operated by Eric Devai ("Contractor"), and the client identified above ("Client"). Both parties agree to the terms set forth herein as a condition of services rendered.
2. Scope of Services. Devai Productions agrees to provide the video production and/or photography services described in the selected package and any add-ons noted above. Any services not explicitly listed in this agreement are excluded. Changes to the agreed scope must be documented in writing and may result in additional fees.
3. Deposit & Payment. A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total project cost is required to confirm the shoot date and reserve Contractor's time. No date is held until the deposit is received. The remaining 50% balance is due in full upon delivery of final files. Devai Productions will not release any deliverables until the full balance has been received. Invoices unpaid beyond 14 days of the delivery date may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance.
4. Cancellation & Rescheduling. Cancellations made more than 7 days prior to the scheduled shoot date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations within 7 days of the shoot date forfeit the deposit in full, as this window represents lost booking opportunity. Rescheduling requests submitted more than 72 hours before the shoot will be accommodated at no charge, subject to availability. Rescheduling within 72 hours of the shoot date will incur a $150 rescheduling fee. If Devai Productions must cancel due to an emergency or illness, the Client will receive a full refund of the deposit or a priority rescheduled date at the Client's preference.
5. Deliverables & Timeline. Final edited files will be delivered within 14 business days of the shoot date unless a rush delivery add-on has been purchased, in which case delivery will occur within 48–72 hours. All revision requests must be submitted within 7 days of receiving the initial delivery link. Additional revision rounds beyond those included in the selected package are available at $75 per round.
6. Client Responsibilities. The Client is responsible for obtaining all necessary location permits, property access permissions, model releases for identifiable individuals, and any other authorizations required to conduct the shoot. Extended delays caused by the Client may result in reduced coverage or an additional hourly fee of $100 per hour beyond the scheduled window.
7. Weather & Force Majeure. Outdoor shoots are subject to weather conditions. If weather makes a shoot unsafe or impractical, Devai Productions will work with the Client to reschedule at no additional charge. Neither party shall be held in breach of this agreement for delays or cancellations resulting from circumstances beyond reasonable control.
8. Drone & Aerial Operations. All drone operations are conducted in strict accordance with FAA Part 107 regulations and applicable local airspace restrictions. Devai Productions reserves the right to cancel or modify aerial coverage if conditions are deemed unsafe or required authorizations cannot be obtained.
9. Intellectual Property & Copyright. All raw footage, unedited photographs, and project files remain the exclusive intellectual property of Devai Productions. Upon receipt of final payment, the Client is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use all final delivered media for lawful personal and commercial purposes. The Client may not resell the media, claim authorship, or sublicense the content to third parties without written consent from Devai Productions.
10. Portfolio & Promotional Use. Devai Productions retains the right to use any delivered media in its portfolio, website, and promotional materials unless the Client opts out below.
11. Third-Party Music & Licensing. Licensed background music is provided under a royalty-free license appropriate for agreed use cases at time of delivery. The Client assumes responsibility for additional licensing if media is used in formats not covered by the original license.
12. Model & Talent Releases. The Client is responsible for obtaining signed model and talent releases from all identifiable individuals appearing in the final media. Devai Productions is not liable for claims arising from use of likeness where a release was not obtained by the Client.
13. Confidentiality. Both parties agree to keep the terms of this agreement confidential. Devai Productions agrees not to disclose any proprietary business information shared by the Client to any third party without written consent.
14. Limitation of Liability. In the event of equipment malfunction, data corruption, or other technical failure beyond the Contractor's reasonable control, liability is strictly limited to a refund of the deposit paid. Devai Productions is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
15. Independent Contractor Status. Devai Productions operates as an independent contractor. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to create an employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture between the parties.
16. Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith written communication. If unresolved within 30 days, the parties agree to pursue mediation before initiating legal action. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
17. Entire Agreement. This contract constitutes the entire agreement between Devai Productions and the Client and supersedes any prior verbal or written understandings. Any modifications must be made in writing and signed by both parties.
