Video Terms
This Agreement is between the Customer and Empire Publishing.
These terms and conditions incorporate the General Terms and Conditions for Additional Services offered by Empire Publishing.
Within 15 days of Customer completing and submitting the book trailer questionnaire, Empire Publishing will begin creation of a rough cut the book trailer. Customer acknowledges that once Empire Publishing has begun creation of the book trailer, there are no refunds for the book trailer as a considerable number of hours will have already been spent on Customer’s behalf. “Creation of the Book Trailer” includes discussing the completed questionnaire with Customer via phone or email.
Customer further acknowledges that there is no guarantee that Customer will like book trailer concept developed by Empire Publishing despite Empire Publishing’s best efforts. While Empire Publishing will attempt to create a book trailer that fulfills Customer’s vision, Customer acknowledges that his/her dissatisfaction with any creative element is not grounds for any refund.
Within 15 days from submission of a completed questionnaire from the Customer, Empire Publishing will create a rough cut of the book trailer based on the ideas and concepts specified in the questionnaire. Upon completion, the rough cut will be sent to Customer for review. Empire Publishing will then make any reasonable revisions to the rough cut of the book preview. “Reasonable Revisions” are tweaks to content or image placement but do not include drastic changes or concept revisions.
Customer will then be sent a final cut for approval before distribution begins.
Empire Publishing will make its best effort to complete the Customer’s book trailer within 15 business days after the Customer approves the rough cut of the book trailer.
Customer recognizes that input from Customer is required and will ultimately determine the time frame of the book trailer’s completion. Customer must approve the rough cut of the book trailer before a final cut will be created , and the final cut must be approved before the video is distributed.
Once the final cut is approved, any additional changes to the design will be billed at $90 per hour.
