Terms & Conditions

1. These terms and conditions shall apply between you ("the Client") and us ("End State Co Ltd") in respect of all goods and services we supply to you whether specified overleaf or otherwise ("the Service"). Except to the extent that these terms and conditions are varied by mutual consent they together with the brief and quotation shall constitute the entire agreement between us and shall prevail over your own terms and conditions.

1. The Service shall be delivered to you in accordance with the brief agreed at the outset of the project either through concept meetings or in written proposals.

2. We shall produce one master copy of the production only for your use. This will be delivered electronically as DNxHD, Prores 422 or H264 files.

3. Project rushes are not offered as standard. If the client requires these they should notify End State Co Ltd in writing during pre-production.

4. Times given for delivery of the Service are estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.

5. Final assets will only be delivered to the client once that project balance has been cleared in full.

1. The Service shall be made available for acceptance at agreed stages. At each agreed stage changes to the Service shall only be permitted to the extent that such changes are consistent with the brief. Beyond completion of the final Master we will allow the "Two Hour Rule". By this it is meant that any change or alteration to the final Master that we deem will take less than two man-hours will not be charged.

2. Other than as stated above, changes to the brief or otherwise that result in additional work being carried out will be chargeable at the relevant daily rate; this shall include the following:

   • Changes that result from inaccurate or misleading information having been supplied by you in preparation of the brief;
   • Changes that result from your failure to obtain consent from any third parties or employees necessary in the delivery of the Service;
   • Changes that result from a significant change to the brief;
   • Additions to the original brief in the form of extra variations or edits of the originally planned piece such as shorter "highlights" edits or specific web versions that are not agreed at the outset.

Payments will be invoiced according to the total project value:

1. Projects under £10,000: Invoiced in full upon project completion.

2. Projects between £10,000 and £30,000: A 50% upfront payment is required to commence work, with the remaining 50% invoiced upon project completion.

3. Projects over £30,000: A 70% upfront payment is required to commence work, with the remaining 30% invoiced upon project completion.

4. Payment terms will be set out in the relevant quotation issued by us to you. Where payment terms are not set out in the relevant quotation, the following apply.

5. Payment is due 30 days after the invoice date and is of the essence. We will not consider payment to be received until it is represented by cleared funds.

6. We reserve the right to claim interest (8% plus the Bank of England base rate) and debt recovery costs if payment is late.

7. Payment is to be made in Pounds Sterling.

8. We reserve the right to invoice for the production component of the Service immediately following its completion.

9. If payment is overdue and/or you are in breach of your obligations set out in this agreement we reserve the right (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us) to stop or postpone delivery or performance under this agreement and we will not be liable for any loss you may suffer as a result of application of this clause. We shall have a general lien or right of retention on materials supplied by you to us until payment has been made.

10. Payment is to be made in full without any discount deduction, set off or abatement.

11. We reserve the right to appropriate any payment made by you and apply it in total or partial satisfaction of any debt due from you to us.

1. Dates for production are agreed in advance and confirmed by you. Where these dates are cancelled whether due to a request from you or due to an amendment by you that results in a cancellation the following charges will apply where the cancellation notice is given or is caused:

   • Within 48 hours of shoot date - 50% of daily shoot rate
   • Within 24 hours of shoot date - 100% of daily shoot rate

2. Where the shoot shall take place at your premises or a location designated by you the responsibility for ensuring said location is safe and that adequate insurance is in place shall be vested in you.

3. In the event that a production is cancelled after hired equipment has been collected, the client agrees to pay 100% of the total equipment hire fees, as the equipment is considered utilised and unavailable for other bookings.

If you need to postpone a confirmed production date, we will make every effort to reschedule. However, since a postponement means we cannot take on other work on the original date and may have already incurred costs, we treat it similarly to a cancellation. The following charges will apply:

1. Notice given more than 48 hours before the shoot date: We will reschedule without a fee. However, you will be responsible for any non-refundable costs we have already paid, such as location fees or special equipment rentals.

2. Notice given within 48 hours of the shoot date: A postponement is treated as a cancellation, and you will be charged 50% of the daily shoot rate.

3. Notice given within 24 hours of the shoot date: A postponement is treated as a cancellation, and you will be charged 100% of the daily shoot rate.

4. In the event of a postponement, you agree to cover any non-refundable costs for crew and equipment that have already been booked. We will provide an itemised list of these costs. This is in addition to any postponement fee.

5. While we will do our best to find a new date, we cannot guarantee the availability of the same crew or equipment. If new bookings are required, any associated fees will be added to your final invoice.

1. All reasonable expenses incurred by us in providing the Service shall be at your cost. Where possible expenses will be pre-arranged with you and/or set out in the quotation. In the absence of prior notification of expenses the following rates shall apply:

   • Subsistence costs will be reimbursed at a reasonable, average rate for the location
