booking terms and conditions.

 

What constitutes commission of work

Work will be deemed as being formally booked or commissioned when an instruction to begin work has been ordered or a date for work to be carried out has been agreed.

​

Work can be commissioned by any form of written communication. Once work has been commissioned it is the responsibility of the Client to raise any Purchase Order number or any other relevant contracts or anything else that they require.

​

​

Cancellation by clients

Cancellation by a client results in liability for 100% of all the agreed value of the work commissioned.

​

Where significant hired-in costs are required for equipment, these will usually need paying in full before work begins. Cancellation of these services will usually still require full payment.

​

It may be that this liability can be wholly or partially waived by Boxclever Media Ltd should the work be rescheduled or amended. This is purely at the discretion of Boxclever Media Ltd.

 

​

Alterations to the schedule of work

The nature of filming and video making is that the needs of clients can often change once the process has begun.

Alterations that will affect agreed script, filming locations, number of required filming days, number of required post-production days not agreed prior to the commencement of work, must be made subject to a further written or verbal agreement and may affect cost. Boxclever Media Ltd will submit a revised quote upon receiving an amendment to our working brief.

​

​

Hours of working

Boxclever Media Ltd operates a flexible service to accommodate the most fluid of schedules. The Boxclever Media Ltd team can operate a 24/7 service.

Where activity needs to be filmed around the clock there will be multiple crews to cover these operations.

​

Boxclever Media Ltd will normally supply a minimum crew of 2 persons. This is for health and safety reasons so that kit can be carried safely and when one person is filming the other can look out for potential hazards.

​

Normal working hours are 0800-1800 portal-to-portal. Where crews are required outside of these hours, at weekends or over public holidays there will be a cost implication detailed below in the “unusual hours” section.

​

Where filming is required for 12 hours or more in a 24 hour period then additional crews at additional cost may be required to ensure adequate breaks for the crews.

 

When Boxclever Media Ltd crews are required to work consecutive shifts on consecutive days in areas where it impossible to travel back to base and back to site and still have a 10 hour break then adequate accommodation and welfare facilities must be provided at cost to Client to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the crew between shifts.

 

When adequate accommodation and welfare facilities cannot be offered for offshore working then the Boxclever Media Ltd crew will require onshore accommodation and a transfer vessel to travel to each working shift offshore.

​

​
