The Terms of Use govern the Client's access to and use of the Sites. Provided that the Client fully complies with these Terms of Use, Manners Media, LLC grants the Client a limited and revocable right to access and utilize the Sites solely for their intended purposes. If the Client uses or accesses the Sites on behalf of a business or other entity, they must have the authority to bind that business/entity.

Post-Production Feedback and Amendments

Post-production feedback is a vital aspect of the video production process. We offer one round of reasonable amendments within the agreed-upon project scope. A round of amendments is defined as reasonable adjustments or revisions to the video project that can be completed within a single feedback cycle. Reasonable changes may involve minor tweaks to timing, pacing, or visual effects.

Scope Limitation: Any changes or additions requested by the Client must remain within the project scope originally established in the initial quotation. If the Client wishes to make changes that exceed this scope, they will be considered "out of scope."

Out-of-Scope Amendments: It's important to note that changes deemed out of scope will require a new quote and mutual agreement from both parties before any further work can proceed. Out-of-scope amendments may include those that necessitate significant re-editing, additional filming, or substantial alterations to the project's direction or objectives.

Copyright and Ownership:

Manners Media, LLC is dedicated to upholding copyright laws and respecting ownership of all materials used in our client projects.
