Please note *

 *We/Us/Our - Refers to Aerial Media Services Ltd

 *You/They - Refers to the client subject to the contract

Pre-flight Assessment:

Once  the job has been booked and the 25% deposit paid, we will carry out a  deskbased risk assessment for each location. We will carry out a  physical visit of the site prior to the job if it is a higher risk area.

Copyright and Use of Media:

All  photographs and videos on this website are the property of Aerial Media  Services Ltd and are protected by copyright law. They may not be  reproduced, printed, copied, or used on any other website or social  media platform without our prior permission. Unauthorised use of our  media will result in charges and may lead to legal action.

Unless  otherwise agreed, Aerial Media Services Ltd retains the copyright to  all videography and photography taken by our pilots or contracted  pilots. This includes any media taken from any device. We also reserve  the right to supply footage to any stock library.

Clients  purchasing services from Aerial Media Services Ltd receive full use of  the media for purposes such as website promotion, social media, and  printed documents for an agreed period. However, they may not sell the  footage or allow third-party companies to use it without written  agreement from Aerial Media Services Ltd.

We  reserve the right to use any footage for our promotional purposes  unless otherwise agreed in writing, which would then trigger a buyout. 

Each  buyout will be discussed with the client. Unless a buyout is agreed  upon, we reserve the right to add our logo to the video/photo and  include credits at the end of the video footage.

Images  of people require a release form to be signed during the filming/photo  shoot to permit the photographer to use the image in commercial and  non-commercial media.

Bookings and Cancellations:

A  25% deposit of the quoted project amount is required upon written  confirmation of the project. If a site survey is required, the deposit  must be paid before the site survey begins.

Clients will receive proof images and/or a low-resolution version of any film for approval.

Once  payment is received, the full-resolution media will be provided via a  digital download link or, if previously agreed, on a USB Flash Drive.

Cancellations  after the initial 25% deposit is paid must be made at least 72 hours  before any site survey, filming, or shoot. Cancellations with less than  72 hours notice will result in forfeiture of any monies paid.

Travel Costs:

No charge for car travel within a 30-mile radius from postcode BN21 1UU.

Travel beyond 30 miles is charged at 45 pence per mile.

Other disbursements (e.g., travel costs, accommodation) are charged in advance.

In  the event of unforeseen adverse weather conditions preventing filming  or project completion, and where an alternative date cannot be agreed,  an agreed percentage of the payment will be refunded. The pilot’s  decision is final for health and safety reasons.

For  post-edited footage, a draft low-resolution copy will be sent for  review. The full-resolution copy will be provided once the final payment  is received.

Insurance and Permission for Commercial Operations:

We are insured to fly our drones and have Public Liability upto £5 million.

We are licensed to fly any drone under 4Kg

Payment:

The entire balance must be paid within 14 days of the invoice’s date.
