In such circumstances the Client will be fully liable for any costs incurred or subsequently arising as a result. Art Revo LLC will observe the site safety rules at all times and will liaise with the appropriate contact outlined by the Client.

 

Additional Content

  • Additional content requested by the Client that was not included in the original agreed scope of work will be subject to additional charges. Art Revo LLC will provide the Client with a new quotation for the additional content and no work will commence until the Client approves and signs the new quotation.

The additional content will be invoiced separately to the original project and will be subject to the same terms and conditions as outlined in the original agreement.

 

Insurance

  • Art Revo LLC will maintain all necessary insurance policies including public liability and professional indemnity insurance to cover its activities in relation to the provision of video production services. The Client is responsible for obtaining and maintaining its own insurance coverage for any property, equipment or personnel that is required for the project. The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Art Revo LLC against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses or costs arising out of or in connection with any property, equipment or personnel owned or operated by the Client in connection with the project.

 

Adverse Weather Conditions

  • In the event of adverse Weather conditions, Art Revo LLC reserves the right to reschedule any filming or production work. If the Client chooses to proceed with the filming or production work despite adverse Weather conditions, any resulting delays or additional costs incurred will be the sole responsibility of the Client.

Any resulting additional costs incurred due to the adverse Weather conditions will be the responsibility of the Client.

 

Client Delays

  • If the client causes a delay in the production timeline, Art Revo LLC will not be held liable for any additional costs, expenses or losses incurred as a result. The client shall be responsible for any delay and shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that the agreed timeline is maintained.
  • If the client’s delay results in Art Revo LLC being unable to complete the work, Art Revo LLC shall be entitled to issue an invoice for work already completed and for all expenses incurred up to the point of delay.
  • Art Revo LLC reserves the right to re-negotiate the delivery date if a delay caused by the client results in the original delivery date being impossible to achieve. In such instances, Art Revo LLC shall provide the client with a revised timeline and an estimate of any additional costs incurred.
  • If the delay is caused by adverse Weather conditions or any other event outside of the client’s control, Art Revo LLC will work with the client to minimize any additional costs and to complete the work as soon as reasonably possible. However, Art Revo LLC shall not be held liable for any additional costs, expenses or losses incurred as a result of such a delay.

 

Post-Production Feedback and Amendments

  • Post-production feedback is an essential part of the video production process, and Art Revo LLC offers up to three rounds of reasonable amends within the agreed-upon project scope. A round of amends is defined as reasonable changes or revisions to the video project that can be completed within a single feedback cycle. Reasonable changes may include minor adjustments to timing, pacing, or visual effects.
  • Scope Limitation: Any changes or additions requested by the client must remain within the project scope originally agreed upon in the initial quotation. If the client wishes to introduce changes that go beyond this scope, such changes will be considered “out of scope.”
  • Out-of-Scope Amendments: It’s important to note that changes considered out of scope will require a new quotation and mutual agreement from both parties before any further work is carried out. Out-of-scope amendments might include those that necessitate significant re-editing, additional filming, or substantial alterations to the project’s direction or objectives.
  • Additional Charges: In the event that the client requests more than three rounds of reasonable amends or any amendments deemed out of scope after the final video has been delivered and approved, any additional work required will be subject to additional charges at our current post-production day rate of AED 1800.
  • Mutual Agreement: The scope of any additional work will be agreed upon by both parties in writing before work commences. This ensures that both the client and service provider have a clear understanding of the nature and extent of the additional work and its associated costs.

 

Client Responsibilities for Three Rounds of Amendments

  • Prompt Feedback: The client is responsible for providing clear and timely feedback within a reasonable timeframe after each round of revisions is submitted. Delays in feedback may impact project timelines and may result in additional costs if extended amendments are required.
  • Scope Adherence: The client’s requests for amendments should align with the originally defined project scope. Any fundamental changes to the project direction or objectives should be separately communicated and mutually agreed upon, as these changes may lead to adjustments in project timelines and costs.
  • Consolidated Feedback: To optimize the revision process, the client is encouraged to consolidate feedback from all key stakeholders and add onto the Vimeo video file. This should include specific comments, suggested changes, and any visual or written references where applicable.
  • Designation of a Single Point of Contact: To maintain efficient communication, the client should designate a single point of contact responsible for coordinating and relaying feedback to our team. This ensures clarity and minimizes potential miscommunications.
  • Adherence to Deadlines: The client is responsible for adhering to mutually agreed-upon deadlines for each round of amendments. Failure to meet deadlines may result in project delays, additional costs, or rescheduling.
  • Clarity in Communication: The client should communicate their expectations, preferences, and objectives clearly. Unclear or ambiguous instructions may lead to misinterpretation and additional revision cycles.
  • Approval and Sign-off: Once the client is satisfied with the final round of amendments, they are responsible for providing formal approval and sign-off. This signifies the completion of the project and initiates any subsequent phases, such as production or delivery.
  • Additional Rounds: If the client requests more than the agreed-upon three rounds of amendments, this will be treated as a change in the project scope and will result in additional costs and an adjusted timeline. The client should communicate any such requests promptly.

 

Project Duration and Delivery

  • Project Commencement: The project will commence on the agreed-upon start date specified in the project timeline. This date will be confirmed in writing.
  • Project Timeline: The project timeline, including key milestones and deadlines, will be outlined in the project scope document. The project manager will work diligently to ensure that the project adheres to this timeline. Any changes to the timeline will be communicated and agreed upon by both parties.
  • Project Delays: While every effort will be made to complete the project within the specified timeline, the client acknowledges that unforeseen circumstances may lead to project delays. In such cases, the project manager will promptly notify the client of any potential delays and provide revised timelines.
  • Delivery of Deliverables: The client will receive project deliverables in accordance with the agreed-upon project timeline. The format and method of delivery will be specified in the project scope document.
  • Client’s Role in Timely Delivery: The client’s timely provision of feedback, approvals, and required materials is essential to ensuring project delivery according to schedule. Delays in client responsibilities may impact project timelines.
  • Partial Delivery: In some cases, project deliverables may be delivered incrementally. The project manager will specify the delivery schedule for such cases.
  • Final Delivery and Acceptance: Upon completion of the project, the client will receive the final project deliverables. The client shall review these deliverables and provide formal approval and sign-off in writing to signify project completion and acceptance.
  • Project Closure: Following client approval and sign-off, the project will be considered closed. Any further work, amendments, or additional services will be subject to a new agreement.
