Policies and Terms
Booking Deposit:
All commercial or residential bookings that exceed a $1,000 total fee require a 50% deposit upfront. This fee is fully refundable unless the Client cancels and Boston3DProperty has already performed the initial portion of the scheduled job (i.e., captured photos, booked trip, recorded video, or other related content).
Cancellation Policy:
Any service rescheduled or canceled with less than 12 hours ' notice is subject to a $25.00 cancellation fee.
Payments:
All invoices are due upon receipt.
Clients are subject to receiving watermarked free content and final files (mp4, publish-ready photos, etc.) after the invoice has been paid in full.
If a Client has an unpaid balance for seven days or longer, it could prevent the Client from scheduling new appointments until the balance has been paid in full.
If the Client makes an advance payment, evident pre-production takes place, and the scheduled work gets canceled, Boston3DProperty will remain with 50% of the advance fee or 100% if the cancellation is made seven days or less before the scheduled project (Boston3Dproperty is reasonable and it can be flexible in light of unforeseen circumstances).
Data Storage:
Upon final product delivery and approval, Boston3DProperty is not responsible for keeping residential content or data for longer than ten days and 90 days for commercial content.
Rights and Usage:
All content and ownership rights in the media in which the content has been stored remain the sole and exclusive property of Boston3DProperty. This license gives the Client the limited right to reproduce, publicly display, and distribute the content only for promotional or advertising purposes. Content used for any purpose not directly related to what Boston3DProperty was initially contracted for (i.e., digital marketing) should have the express permission of Boston3DProperty and the payment of additional fees unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
Waiver:
Only an express written waiver can waive any provision of this Agreement, and a single or partial exercise by either party of any such rights or remedies will not preclude further exercise of other rights or remedies.
