Welcome to Fordey Media. By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions. These terms govern your use of our services, so please read them carefully.

1. Services Provided

Fordey Media offers professional video and photo production services, including but not limited to filming, editing, and post-production work. For a detailed description of our services, please refer to our service packages or contact us directly.

2. Booking & Payment

  • Booking Process: Upon agreeing to our services, clients will receive a formal quote or proposal. A deposit or full payment may be required to secure the booking.

  • Payment Terms: Invoices are due 14 days from the invoice date, unless other agreement is made in writing. Final project delivery will only be made upon receipt of full payment. If full payment is not received within the stated time frame, services may be suspended until the balance is settled.

  • Late Payment Fee: A late payment fee of 10% will be applied to invoices that are not paid by the due date. This fee will be calculated based on the total amount due and will accrue for each 30-day period the payment remains overdue.

  • Additional Fees: Additional charges may apply for services beyond the original scope of work, including but not limited to:

    • Travel fees (see "Travel Fees" section)

    • Studio rental

    • Licensing fees (music, stock footage, effects)

    • Additional revisions (see "Revisions" section)

    • Extending the team (e.g., additional videographers, sound recordists)

3. Travel Fees

  • A travel fee of $35 is applicable for one location within the Perth Metro area. Additional locations may incur further travel fees.

  • If the filming location is outside of the Perth Metro area, additional charges will apply to cover travel expenses.

4. Raw Footage

  • Raw Footage can be purchased at the discretion of Fordey Media, depending on the project and agreement made with the client.

5. Intellectual Property

  • Copyright: All footage, photos, and content produced by Fordey Media remain the intellectual property of Fordey Media unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. You may not use, modify, distribute, or reproduce any of our content without prior written permission.

  • Marketing: Fordey Media reserves the right to use footage and content produced for clients for promotional and marketing purposes, unless otherwise stated in writing by the client.

  • Licensing: Any third-party content used in the project (e.g., stock footage, music, effects) is subject to licensing terms and may require additional fees.

6. Revisions

  • Each package includes one revision. Any additional revisions requested beyond this will incur a charge of $150 per hour. The hourly rate will be calculated from the time spent on revisions, including but not limited to changes to video footage, edits, or reshoots.

7. Project Delivery & Content Storage

  • Projects will be delivered upon receipt of full payment.

  • All footage and content are retained for 3 months after the final delivery. After this period, content may be deleted or archived at the discretion of Fordey Media.

8. No Guarantee of ROI

Fordey Media does not guarantee any specific return on investment (ROI) from the content produced, as ROI is influenced by external factors such as ad management, marketing strategy, and campaign setup, which fall outside the scope of our services.

9. Right to Cease Work

Fordey Media reserves the right to cease work at any time if we deem the project to be unfit, unsafe, or not aligned with our quality standards or ethical guidelines.

10. Liability

  • Fordey Media is not liable for any alterations made to the content once it has been delivered to the client. The client assumes responsibility for any changes or edits made post-delivery.

  • Fordey Media is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or content.

11. Disclaimer: Technical Risks

While Fordey Media takes great care to provide high-quality, professional video and photo production services, certain risks inherent to the production process, especially those involving technology, are outside of our control. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Equipment failure: While we strive for the reliability of our equipment, technical malfunctions such as camera, lighting, or audio equipment failure may occur.

  • Data loss: Though we implement industry-standard precautions to protect footage, there is always a risk of data loss due to technical issues (e.g., hard drive failure, file corruption).

  • Weather or environmental factors: For outdoor shoots, weather conditions can impact the quality of the footage and may cause delays or rescheduling of the production.

  • Post-production delays: Complex edits, high volumes of data, or technical issues during the editing process may result in delays beyond our control.

By engaging our services, the client acknowledges these inherent risks and agrees that Fordey Media will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from such technical or environmental factors, including but not limited to delays or loss of footage.

12. GST & Taxes

Fordey Media is not registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST), and therefore no GST is charged on any service or product provided.

13. Termination & Cancellations

  • If the client decides to cancel or terminate the agreement prior to the completion of the project, a cancellation fee may apply, depending on the stage of production.

  • Fordey Media reserves the right to terminate any project in cases where the client breaches these Terms & Conditions.

14. Privacy & Data Collection

  • By using our services, you agree to provide accurate and up-to-date contact information, including your name, email address, phone number, and any other information necessary for the completion of your project.

  • Fordey Media takes your privacy seriously. We do not collect or store payment details. We will only use the personal information you provide for the purpose of completing your project and communicating with you about the status of your work.

15. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Western Australia, Australia. Any disputes arising from these Terms & Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
