Terms and conditions for live music video production
Standard Packages:

The list below provides a general guidance to the terms and conditions that apply to our live music video production services. These are not meant to be in any way intimidating, but are there to ensure that you get the service that you expect from us and that we are able to provide our services to you efficiently whilst safeguarding the interests of both parties.

- In order to allow us to set up our cameras and sound recording equipment correctly before your performance, it is very important that we are present for the sound check. To ensure that our equipment is ready before the sound check, please let us know in plenty of time when the band expects to arrive at the venue. If required please provide us with instructions on how to find the venue.

- Please ensure that permission to film and/or record at the venue has been granted in plenty of time, and that we are given access to the venue (free of charge) with our equipment on the day. If video, photo or press clearance is required for us then please ensure that this as been arranged. Please note that some venues make a charge a fee to allow filming or recording, and that you would be liable for this fee. Should permission to film and/or record at the venue not be forthcoming then please let us know in plenty of time.

- If an independent sound recording is required from the venues front of house mixing desk, then please check that this is OK with the venues sound crew. In any case, please bear in mind that a live sound recording can only be as good the sound quality produced by the venue's public address system. Similarly, although we use cameras with good low light capabilities, the stage lighting levels will have an effect on the video quality. Therefore, if possible, try to arrange that lighting levels are not too low during the performance.

- Layout, wording and graphics for intro, title sequences, credits, copyright statements etc. must be agreed before post production work commences. Any images (e.g. band logos, photos, artwork, etc.) required to be included in the production must be supplied in a suitable format (jpg, gif or bmp) prior to the commencement of post production work.

- A nominal charge (to be agreed) would be made for additional copies of any versions of the DVD (small pre-production runs could be undertaken (up to 50 copies) - larger scale production would have to be contracted out).

- Any out of pocket expenses incurred by us in the process of carrying out the work for you will be charged to you at cost (e.g. travel expenses). We undertake to keep these to a minimum, and where possible we will clear these costs with you prior to incurring them.

Legal issues:

- All rights to the production remain the property of MetalOnRock Limited until the agreed payment for our services has been made in full. Subject to the terms agreed in advanced, rights to the production may be transferred on final payment, however MetalOnRock Limited reserves the right to use any part or all of the production as promotional material.

- Licences must be obtained for any cover versions to be produced and published (this can be arranged by MetalOnRock), unless explicit permission to use the material has been given in writing by all the copyright owners.

- If the band or label are going to be the publishers / distributors of the work, the band or label would be responsible for obtaining an MCPS licence (as it is your own work you would get a "Notification of No Claim" from them). The band or label is also responsible for any other licences or venue fees.

- Whilst we endeavour to ensure that all our equipment is kept in proper working order, we cannot be held liable for equipment failure on the day (the additional cameras would provide some backup). In this case we would either reschedule the shoot to a mutually convenient alternative date, or salvage as much material as we can and adjust our charges accordingly by mutual agreement.

- If due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to attend the performance or are significantly delayed, we would then endeavour to reschedule the shoot to a mutually convenient date.

- If the performance is cancelled or postponed then please inform us as soon as this is known. An additional charge for travel expenses would have to be made if we attend the venue due to insufficient notice being given.

- Whilst we are happy to consider undertaking any additional work beyond that already agreed, this would incur additional charges (to be agreed).

- Unless otherwise agreed, these terms and conditions take precedence over any other terms and conditions.
