Project Timeline: The client understands that DemoFlick’s product is collaborative in nature. So, The turnaround time of each project is contingent upon client approvals. The client understands that the target date is not a deadline and certain situations may come up during the production process that delays the project. But, in general, a typical project takes us 3-5 weeks to complete once we receive a completed creative brief.
Payment Terms: Demoflick requires a deposit upfront to start production as agreed upon in the work order. The final balance shall be paid upon the final approval of the project or 90 days from the original order date whichever is sooner. The client understands that DemoFlick will not release the final mp4 file until the balance has been settled.
Finished Product: The project is considered complete when a 1920 x 1080 MP4 Video File is delivered to the client. Files will be delivered through a file-sharing service such as DropBox or YouSendIt. Files will not be sent on discs.
File Ownership: The client has complete ownership rights to the Mp4 and can choose to display it where they want online. However, the client does not have ownership rights to the source files. DemoFlick maintains a copy of the source files on-site and will not deliver them to the client. Ownership rights are only granted to the customer upon payment of the final balance owed. Ownership of video files will remain with DemoFlick until final approval and the final balance paid.
Cancellation: DemoFlick reserves the right to cancel your order at any time and provide a complete refund.
Additional Edits: From time to time our clients come back to us after a project has been completed and request that we make edits.

DemoFlick will then write a script with a text-based visual direction.
Client and DemoFlick will discuss the script and determine which features work best for the concept. DemoFlick will make up to 3 rounds of changes to the script.

The client will have the opportunity to review and ask for changes if necessary if they are unhappy with the voice talent’s performance. If the client decides to change the script after the voice is recorded or re-recorded after the second recording session there will be a $350 Re-Record fee incurred.

Demoflick will provide either a still image or a scene board of each scene. The client will have the opportunity to make two rounds of edits to the design. Once we get into the animation phase the client will be allowed to make two rounds of changes to the animation preview. Upon the client’s approval, DemoFlick will proceed on to the completion.
