By accessing this Site, submitting a contact form, requesting a quote, uploading project materials, communicating with us, or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, together with any proposal, quote, invoice, project brief, scope of work, or separate written agreement between you and the Company.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will become effective upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the Site or our services after any such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms and Conditions.

Purpose of Agreement

The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to establish the agreement between the Company and the client for the provision of video editing, post-production, creative editing, motion graphics, audio editing, color correction, file preparation, video formatting, and related digital media services.

Use of This Website

You agree to use this Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe upon, restrict, or interfere with the rights or use of the Site by any other person.

You may not use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its systems, interfere with the functionality, performance, or security of the Site, or copy, reproduce, republish, upload, transmit, or distribute Site content for commercial use without our prior written consent.

All content on this Site, including text, graphics, logos, videos, sample edits, portfolio materials, photos, design elements, layout, and branding, is owned by or licensed to Laurentiu Lupan and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Quotes and Service Information

Any service descriptions, pricing examples, turnaround times, portfolio examples, package details, promotions, or other information shown on this Site are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute a binding offer unless expressly stated in a written agreement accepted by the parties.

Submitting a form, calling us, messaging us, uploading project materials, or requesting a quote does not by itself create a client-service provider relationship. A binding agreement for services is formed only when the parties agree to a written quote, invoice, project brief, proposal, scope of work, or other written service agreement.

Estimated pricing and timelines are subject to change based on project complexity, footage length, file quality, number of revisions, client feedback delays, requested effects, third-party asset requirements, platform formatting needs, and changes to the original scope.

Parties and Scope of Work

"Company," "Studio," or "Editor" means Laurentiu Lupan. "Client" means the person, persons, business, or entity requesting, authorizing, or receiving the services. "Work" means the video editing, post-production, creative services, deliverables, revisions, file exports, formatting, and related services described in any quote, proposal, invoice, scope of work, project brief, or written agreement between the Company and Client.

If the Client is ordering the Work on behalf of another person, brand, organization, or entity, the Client represents and warrants that they are authorized to do so. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Client assumes sole responsibility for determining whether the requested Work is appropriate for the Client's intended purpose, platform, audience, and legal obligations.

In performing the Work, the Company may rely on the information, instructions, footage, files, branding materials, scripts, music, images, licenses, and project details provided by the Client. The Company is under no duty to independently verify the accuracy, ownership, licensing, legality, or completeness of such materials unless expressly agreed in writing.

Any additional services, edits, revisions, exports, formats, creative changes, or deliverables requested by the Client beyond the original scope shall be treated as additional Work and may be subject to additional charges.

Client Materials and Project Access

The Client shall provide the Company with timely access to all materials, files, instructions, approvals, accounts, links, footage, images, audio files, logos, scripts, brand guidelines, reference videos, and other content necessary to perform the Work.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that all files are delivered in usable formats and that all necessary permissions, licenses, rights, and approvals have been obtained for any materials provided to the Company.

Delays caused by missing files, corrupted footage, incomplete instructions, unavailable approvals, unclear feedback, inaccessible links, or failure to provide necessary cooperation may result in schedule changes, revised delivery timelines, and additional charges.

The Company is not responsible for delays, quality limitations, or additional costs resulting from poor-quality footage, low-resolution files, distorted audio, missing assets, unsupported formats, or incomplete project materials provided by the Client.

Changes to the Work

Unless otherwise stated in writing, pricing is based on the project scope, materials, deliverables, timeline, and revision terms agreed upon at the start of the project.

If additional footage, new creative direction, new platform formats, new deliverables, advanced effects, motion graphics, subtitles, color correction, sound design, animation, revisions, or other work outside the original scope is requested, the Client agrees to pay additional compensation for the added time and services.

Any alteration or deviation involving additional costs in excess of $500 will require written approval. Changes of $500 or less may be completed and charged without a formal written change order if reasonably necessary to complete the requested Work or if requested by the Client.

The Company may use reasonable creative discretion in editing, sequencing, pacing, music placement, color, transitions, captions, graphics, and overall presentation unless specific instructions are provided by the Client in writing.

Revisions and Client Feedback

Unless otherwise stated in writing, each project includes the number of revisions specified in the applicable quote, package, invoice, or project agreement. If no revision amount is specified, revisions may be limited at the Company's discretion.

Revision requests must be clear, consolidated, and submitted in writing. The Client is responsible for reviewing drafts carefully and providing complete feedback within the requested timeframe.

Revisions do not include a full project restart, change in creative direction, replacement of major source materials, new footage, new scripts, new branding, new platform requirements, or changes that materially alter the original scope. Such requests may be treated as additional Work and billed separately.

The Company is not responsible for delays caused by late feedback, incomplete feedback, conflicting feedback, or approval delays from the Client or third parties.

Scheduling and Delays

Any stated start date, draft date, completion date, or delivery timeline is an estimate only and is not guaranteed unless expressly agreed in writing.

If the Company is delayed in commencing or completing the Work due to missing files, corrupted files, software or hardware issues, third-party platform delays, client-requested changes, late feedback, licensing delays, internet outages, illness, emergencies, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the Company's reasonable control, the time for performance shall be extended accordingly.

The Company shall not be liable for delay damages, loss of business, missed posting deadlines, lost advertising opportunities, inconvenience, or other damages arising from any such delay.

Project Conditions and Creative Disclaimer

Video editing and post-production services depend on the quality, completeness, and suitability of the source materials provided by the Client.

The Client acknowledges that pre-existing issues may exist in the provided materials, including poor lighting, low resolution, shaky footage, distorted audio, missing files, incorrect frame rates, corrupted footage, background noise, licensing restrictions, inconsistent branding, or other limitations. The Company is not responsible for the existence of such conditions or for limitations in the final result caused by them.

While the Company strives to deliver high-quality creative work, the Client understands that creative results are subjective and may vary depending on the Client's materials, instructions, feedback, intended platform, and project scope.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Company is not responsible for guaranteeing engagement, views, likes, shares, sales, conversions, followers, advertising performance, or any other business or marketing result from the completed video.

Payments

Unless otherwise stated in writing, 50% of the total project price is due before work begins as a deposit.

The Client agrees to promptly pay all deposits, progress payments, milestone payments, final invoices, supplemental charges, and other amounts related to the Work as they become due. The Company reserves the right to request additional payments as the project progresses based on work performed, revisions requested, project milestones reached, or additional services approved or required.

Final payment is due upon completion of the Work and before release of final high-resolution, watermark-free, editable, or source files, unless other payment terms are set forth in a written agreement accepted by both parties.

Payments made by credit card or debit card may be subject to a processing fee, where permitted by law.

If any payment due under this agreement is not paid in full within seven (7) days of the due date, the Company may suspend work, withhold drafts, withhold final files, pause delivery, decline revisions, terminate the agreement, and pursue any available legal or equitable remedies. Any balance more than seven (7) days past due may accrue interest at the rate of 2.5% per month until paid in full, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If the Company initiates collection efforts or brings legal action to recover unpaid amounts, the Client agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, collection fees, and other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such efforts.

Cancellation and Termination

The Client may have the right to cancel a signed agreement within 72 hours of execution, where required by applicable law.

To cancel, the Client must send written notice to the Company by email at [email protected] or another official written communication method recognized by the Company.

If cancellation is timely and valid, any refundable deposit amount will be returned in accordance with applicable law and after deduction of any non-refundable amounts lawfully chargeable for work already performed, time already spent, project setup, administrative work, licensed assets, third-party costs, special-order services, or other costs already incurred.

The right to cancel does not apply to completed services, rush services already started, custom creative work already performed, licensed digital assets, or amounts otherwise earned or incurred before cancellation, to the extent permitted by law.

If either party fails to fulfill its obligations in a timely or proper manner, the non-breaching party may terminate the agreement by written notice. If the agreement is canceled or terminated after work has begun, the Client shall immediately pay the Company for services performed, time spent, approved work, third-party costs, licensing fees, project setup, cancellation fees, and any other damages or costs reasonably incurred by the Company as a result of the cancellation or termination.

Ownership, Licensing, and Portfolio Use

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Client retains ownership of the original materials provided to the Company, including raw footage, images, audio, logos, scripts, and brand assets.

Upon full payment, the Client receives the agreed rights to use the final completed video deliverables for the purposes described in the applicable agreement. The Company retains ownership of its editing methods, project templates, presets, workflows, know-how, drafts, unused concepts, source project files, and other internal creative materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Editable project files, timelines, raw working files, source files, presets, and layered files are not included unless expressly stated in the quote, invoice, or written agreement.

The Client represents and warrants that they have the right to use all materials provided to the Company, including footage, music, images, logos, fonts, scripts, trademarks, voiceovers, and third-party assets. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from claims arising from materials supplied by the Client or from the Client's use of the final deliverables.

Unless the Client requests otherwise in writing, and unless restricted by a separate confidentiality agreement, the Company may display completed work, excerpts, thumbnails, screenshots, or project descriptions in its portfolio, website, social media, advertising, or promotional materials after project completion.

Third-Party Assets, Platforms, and Music Licensing

The Work may include or require third-party assets, such as stock footage, stock images, fonts, music, sound effects, templates, plugins, platform tools, or other licensed materials.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, third-party licensing costs are not included in the project price and may be billed separately. The Client is responsible for complying with the terms of any licenses used in connection with the final deliverables.

The Company is not responsible for copyright claims, takedowns, muted audio, demonetization, platform restrictions, or legal claims resulting from third-party materials requested, supplied, approved, or used by the Client.

The Site may include references to third-party websites, platforms, software, hosting services, payment processors, video platforms, or linked resources. Such references are provided for convenience only. The Company does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, availability, or practices of third-party websites, platforms, or service providers.

Warranty and Service Disclaimer

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Company will perform the Work in a professional manner consistent with generally accepted standards for video editing and creative services.

Because video editing is creative and subjective, the Company does not warrant that the final deliverables will meet every personal preference, marketing goal, platform algorithm, or business expectation.

Warranty or correction requests are limited to technical errors caused by the Company, such as export issues, missing agreed elements, file delivery errors, or clear deviations from the approved written scope. Such claims must be submitted in writing within seven (7) days of delivery.

Warranty coverage does not apply to changes in creative preference, new requests, client-supplied errors, platform compression, third-party upload issues, expired links, music licensing issues, poor source material, or changes requested after approval.

If payment has not been made in full, any revision, correction, or support obligations may be suspended or voided until the account is brought fully current.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for damages caused by third-party platforms, file corruption, internet outages, software issues, hardware failure, client delays, missing assets, copyright claims from client-provided materials, force majeure events, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the Company's reasonable control.

The Company's total liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Site, the Work, or any agreement between the Company and Client, whether based in contract, warranty, negligence, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by the Client to the Company under the applicable agreement.

Under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of followers, loss of views, loss of data, lost advertising opportunities, business interruption, reputational harm, or inconvenience damages.

Any claim by the Client must be provided to the Company in writing within seven (7) days after the Client first discovers the issue giving rise to the claim. Any lawsuit or formal legal action arising from the Work or agreement must be filed within ninety (90) days after the cause of action accrues, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
