Payment Terms

A 50% non-refundable deposit of the total project cost is required to initiate the project.

Backup Storage Policy

Dean Russell Productions LLC provides free storage of all project files, including RAW footage and final deliverables, for one year from the project completion date. These files are securely stored using a 3-pronged backup system (1 cloud, 2 hard drives). After the initial year, clients can request a personal hard drive containing all project files for a fee of $250. If no option is chosen by the end of the free storage period, all project files will be deleted. Dean Russell Productions LLC will reach out to clients 30 days before the storage period ends to inform them of their options. While Dean Russell Productions LLC retains ownership of the original project files, clients have the right to access and request copies of their files within the storage period.

Upon full payment, the client is granted a non-exclusive license to use the final video(s) for the purposes agreed upon in the contract.

​

Usage Rights
