3) Scope of services

We provide creative development, production, and post‑production for music videos and related content (e.g., teasers, social cuts, BTS). The exact scope, specs, schedule, crew, and budget are set out in our SOW/quote. Anything not listed is out of scope and may require a change order.

4) Quotes, booking & SOW

  • Quotes are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.

  • A booking is confirmed when you accept the SOW/quote in writing and pay any required deposit.

  • We may reschedule for operational reasons; we will give reasonable notice.

  • Time is of the essence for Client approvals and inputs; delays may shift delivery dates and incur additional costs.

5) Fees, deposits & payment

  • Prices are in EUR and exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

  • Deposit: unless agreed otherwise, 50% non‑refundable deposit is due on booking; the balance is due before delivery of the final files (or on net 7 days from invoice).

  • Overtime beyond the standard Shoot Day, rush work, extra locations, additional equipment, travel, accommodation, permits, props, cast, choreography, art department, and stock/licensing are billable at agreed rates.

  • Late payment may accrue interest at the legal rate, plus reasonable recovery costs.

  • We may withhold delivery and/or suspend work for unpaid invoices. Title to Deliverables transfers only upon full payment.

6) Changes & revisions

  • Your SOW includes [e.g., 2] rounds of edits on the main deliverable(s). Fair, like‑for‑like fixes are included; new creative directions or changes after approval (script, storyboard, casting, locations, style, music, color) are additional.

  • Extra edits are billed at our day/hourly rates, agreed in writing.

7) Client responsibilities

  • Content & releases: You are responsible for securing all permissions, licenses, and releases necessary for the Project (music, performers, locations, trademarks, artwork), unless we expressly agree in the SOW to arrange them.

  • Music licensing: Unless the SOW states that we license music for you, you will provide cleared audio.

  • Locations & permits: You ensure access and permits. Fees due to access issues are chargeable.

  • Approvals: Provide timely feedback and a single consolidated list per revision round.

  • Safety & conduct: You ensure safe conditions and respectful conduct on set. We may stop a shoot if safety is at risk.

8) Intellectual property & license

  • Except as stated below, we own all IP in the Materials and working files (including raw footage, project files, and assets).

  • Upon full payment, we grant you a non‑exclusive, worldwide license to use the Deliverables for the purposes and channels stated in the SOW (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, broadcast) for the agreed term.

  • Extending usage (territory, media, duration) or using the Deliverables for new purposes requires a separate license or fee.

  • Third‑party assets (music, fonts, plugins, stock) are subject to their own licenses.

  • If specifically purchased, ownership transfer (assignment) of certain Deliverables can be agreed in writing after full payment; we may retain a limited archive and credit right.

9) Credits & portfolio use

Unless you notify us in writing before the Project starts (or an NDA says otherwise), you grant us the right to:

  • display the Deliverables (and reasonable extracts of Materials) in our portfolio, showreels, website, and social channels;

  • include an on‑screen or description credit (e.g., "Produced by Makori Media") where customary.

10) Delivery, formats & storage

  • We deliver in the formats/specs listed in the SOW via link (e.g., download or private streaming).

  • After delivery, you must download and back up your files. We keep an archive for [e.g., 12 months] as a courtesy but are not a backup service. Retrieval may incur a fee.

  • We are not liable for incompatibilities with outdated software/hardware.

11) Cancellations & postponements

  • Client cancellation after booking: you owe (i) the deposit and (ii) all non‑recoverable costs and crew fees committed up to cancellation.

  • Postponement by Client within 72 hours of a Shoot Day may incur kill fees (e.g., 50–100% of day rates and fixed costs).

  • Weather/force majeure: see section 12. We’ll try to reschedule; additional costs may apply.

12) Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., severe weather, power/network outages, strikes, illness, government action). If the event persists 30 days, either party may terminate the affected part of the SOW; you will pay for work done and non‑recoverable costs.

13) Warranties & disclaimers

We will provide services with reasonable skill and care. Except as expressly stated, the Site and services are provided “as is” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non‑infringement. We cannot guarantee particular artistic outcomes or third‑party platform performance (e.g., social reach, algorithm, or monetization).

14) Liability cap

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential losses, including lost profits or data.

  • Our aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid to us for the specific Project giving rise to the claim.

15) Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any third‑party claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (i) your Materials, instructions, or failure to obtain permissions; (ii) your misuse of the Deliverables; or (iii) your breach of these Terms.

16) Confidentiality

Each party will keep confidential any non‑public information received from the other and use it only for the Project. This does not apply to information that is public, independently developed, or legally required to be disclosed.

17) Data protection

We handle personal data as described in our Privacy Policy (see the Site). For website hosting we use Wix; for aggregated traffic indicators we use Google Analytics. See the Privacy Policy for details and your rights.

18) Third‑party tools & platforms

The Deliverables may incorporate or be distributed through third‑party tools/platforms (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo). Their availability and terms are outside our control. You must comply with their terms and community rules.

19) Website use (acceptable use)

You may not misuse the Site, interfere with its operation, attempt to access non‑public areas, or use automated scraping without our consent. Links to third‑party websites are provided as a convenience; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

20) Consumers (EEA)

If you are a consumer in the EEA, you may have statutory rights. Custom creative services typically cannot be undone once fully performed with your prior express consent; the 14‑day withdrawal right may therefore not apply once performance has begun. These Terms do not exclude rights that cannot be excluded by law.

21) Termination

Either party may terminate the Project for a material breach not cured within 10 days of written notice. Upon termination, you will pay for work performed, non‑recoverable costs, and any agreed kill fees. Sections that by nature should survive (e.g., 7–9, 13–15, 17–22) will survive.

22) Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. The competent courts of Brussels, Belgium have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer venue rules.

23) Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement: The SOW/quote and these Terms form the entire agreement and supersede prior discussions.

  • Order of precedence: If there is a conflict, the SOW prevails, then these Terms.

  • Assignment: Neither party may assign the Project without written consent, except to an affiliate or in a merger/sale.

  • Severability: If any provision is invalid, the remainder stays effective.

  • No waiver: A failure to enforce is not a waiver.

  • Notices: by email to the contacts listed in the SOW, deemed received upon sending unless bounced.

24) Acceptance

By approving the SOW/quote or using our services, you accept these Terms.
