Suspension of Rights: Failure to pay incurred costs or project milestones may result in an immediate suspension of work and the withholding of all deliverables and usage rights until the balance is resolved.
Retainer: A non-refundable retainer of 25% of the total project fee is required to secure production dates and initiate logistics. This serves as a "Kill Fee" to compensate for lost opportunity and administrative costs. Cancellation Penalties: * Standard: If canceled, the 25% retainer is forfeited.

Operational Authority: As FAA Part 107 operators, flight operations are strictly governed by federal regulations, airspace restrictions, and minimum weather requirements. The Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) has final authority regarding flight safety. Operations may be delayed, suspended, or canceled due to weather (wind, precipitation, visibility), technical issues, or FAA mandates. Safety Restrictions: Producer does not perform flight operations directly over uninvolved persons or moving vehicles. Client is responsible for ensuring the flight area is cleared of non-essential personnel. Weather & Rescheduling: If a flight is canceled due to safety hazards or weather, Client is responsible for all incurred travel and preparation costs. While Producer will make every effort to monitor conditions in advance, the final safety determination is made on-site. Client is responsible for obtaining ground-access permissions for private property.
Conversion Fee: Client shall not directly hire or contract any Personnel provided by Producer for twelve (12) months following placement. Direct hire within this period requires a "Conversion Fee" equal to 25% of the Personnel’s first-year compensation or $5,000, whichever is greater. Supervision: Client assumes liability for Personnel’s actions, safety, and equipment care when Personnel are under Client's direct supervision.
Ownership & Raw Footage: Producer retains all proprietary rights to "Raw Footage," project files, and "Unfinished Assets." Client is granted usage rights exclusively for the "Final Deliverable" upon receipt of full payment. Archiving & Purge Policy: Producer is not a permanent storage facility.

Promotional Rights: Producer reserves the irrevocable right to use the Final Deliverable and project assets for portfolio and self-promotional purposes. Limitation of Liability: Producer’s total liability for any claim shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client under this specific invoice.
