1. Agreement and Parties
This Agreement is between Lighthouse Visuals ("Company") and the client named below ("Client") for the Select Subscription video program (the "Program"). By accepting this Agreement below or enrolling online, Client agrees to these terms for the full subscription term Client selects.
Client's selected package, term length, monthly rate, and shoot allowance are listed on Client's order form, which is part of this Agreement. If package details change in the future, Client's order form controls for Client's current term.
2. Subscription Term and Recurring Billing
This is a recurring subscription. Client authorizes Company to charge Client's payment method on file the monthly rate shown on Client's order form, automatically, each month for the full 3 month term, unless Client cancels under Section 8.
- Billing date: Company sends the first invoice after receiving Client's signed Agreement. Client's term begins on the date the initial enrollment payment is received. Later charges run on the same day each month until the term ends.
- Subscription billing: The monthly rate is shown on the order form. A separate online/transaction fee of 3.45% of that monthly rate is added when listed in the selected package. Applicable North Carolina sales tax is calculated on the monthly rate and fee using the customer’s billing address, at the rates in effect for each charge. The fee and tax are shown separately before payment and on invoices. Add-ons and additional services are quoted and billed separately.
- Term commitment: Client agrees to pay each monthly charge until the term ends or Client cancels under Section 8, whether or not Client uses each month's shoot allowance.
- Failed payments: If a charge fails, Company will notify Client and retry within 5 business days. Shoots may be paused until the account is current. Balances unpaid after 15 days may incur a late fee of 5%.
- Payment method updates: Client is responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file.
3. Pricing and Rate Lock
Client's monthly rate is locked for the full term Client signed up for. Company's published pricing and package contents may change at any time, but changes will not affect Client until Client's current term ends.
If Client renews, the renewal will be at Company's then-current pricing unless Company agrees otherwise in writing. Add-on services (Section 4) and other additional fees are one-time charges, separate from the recurring subscription, billed at the rates in effect when Client books or incurs them.
4. Shoot Scope and Locations
Each shoot includes a set amount of on-site time and a maximum number of locations, based on the shoot type in Client's package.
| Shoot type | On-site time | Locations included | Location distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half day | Up to 4 hours | 1 | N/A |
| 3/4 day | Up to 6 hours | Up to 2 | Within 10 miles of each other |
| Full day | Up to 8 hours | Up to 2 | Within 20 miles of each other |
- Additional locations and travel: An extra location within 25 miles of the other shoot location may be added for a $75 additional-location/travel fee. This must be coordinated with Client's Concierge prior to booking the shoot day.
- Travel time counts toward shoot time. Travel between locations, including add-on locations, comes out of the on-site time above. More locations means less time filming at each one.
5. Scheduling, Weather, and Rain Dates
When booking each shoot, Company strongly encourages Client to select a backup rain date, ideally about one week after Client's primary date.
- Booking notice: Shoots should be booked at least 7 days in advance, subject to availability.
- Weather calls: Company may reschedule due to rain, high wind, poor light, or unsafe conditions. Company will make the call by 6:00 PM the day before when possible. Weather reschedules carry no fee and the shoot is not forfeited.
- No backup date: If no rain date was chosen, Company will book the next mutually available date.
- Client reschedules: Client may reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice at no charge. Later scheduling changes and no-shows may incur a fee of $199 to reschedule.
- Company reschedules: If Company must reschedule for illness, emergency, or act of God, Company will rebook at no cost to Client.
6. Client Responsibilities
Client is responsible for having each location ready and accessible at the scheduled start time.
- Access and permission: Client is responsible for obtaining permission to film at each location, including from homeowners, sellers, or property managers, before the shoot.
- Property readiness: Locations should be cleaned, staged, and free of personal items Client does not want on camera.
- On-camera talent: If Client appears on camera, Client should arrive ready (wardrobe, hair, makeup) at the start time.
- Late starts: Time lost to late arrival or an unready location comes out of Client's shoot time.
- Drone footage: Aerial footage depends on FAA airspace rules and conditions and is not guaranteed.
7. Delivery and Revisions
Finished videos are delivered within 7 to 10 business days after each shoot, by download link or shared folder.
- Revision window: Revision requests must be submitted in writing within 7 business days of delivery. After 7 business days, the video is considered approved and final.
- Included revisions: Each video, except Re-cuts, includes 1 - 2 round(s) of revisions, such as trimming clips, changing music, fixing text, or swapping included footage.
- Re-cuts: Free revision rounds do not apply to Re-cuts. Revisions to Re-cuts are billed at $50 per round. Re-cuts are editor's choice and will coordinate with the primary video.
- Not included: Re-shoots, new footage, or a change in overall concept are not revisions and are quoted separately.
- Additional revisions: Rounds beyond those included are billed at $50 per round.
8. Unused Shoots, Cancellation, and Renewal
- Unused shoots: Each month's shoot allowance must be used within the monthly 30-day term. Unused shoots do not roll over. Any shoot not used within its 30-day term expires and is not refundable. Shoots postponed by Company, including for weather, do not expire.
- Early cancellation: Client may cancel at any time by giving written notice at least 15 days before the next payment date. If notice arrives less than 15 days before a payment date, that payment is still due and the cancellation takes effect after it.
- End of term: At the end of Client's term, Client's subscription ends unless Client elects to renew for another 3-month term. Client must notify Company in writing at least 15 days before the term ends whether Client will end or renew.
- Company's right to end: Company may end this Agreement if payments are more than 15 days past due or for conduct that makes shoots unsafe.
