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.

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.

We are insured to fly our drones and have Public Liability upto £5 million.
We are licensed to fly any drone under 4Kg
