Up to 2 format conversions will be provided free of charge; this does not include alternate edits (e.g., cutdowns, reframed/vertical versions, etc.) unless included in the project package. GVF will maintain all archives and backups of raw footage; additional edits may be booked at any time with separate budgeting. Usage of Client’s IP and likenesses are limited to marketing of GVF services. Client usage of final deliverables is granted for marketing and promotional use in perpetuity upon final delivery and payment.

You may cancel your project at any time. Up to 25% of the total project budget is non-refundable at GVF's option. Up to 50% of the total project budget is non-refundable if canceled less than 7 days prior to the first scheduled shoot or production task. Client is responsible for costs accrued beyond these percentages in any case of cancelation, in keeping with the terms of our service agreement.

You may reschedule your project at any time. If rescheduling before pre-production has begun, the full deposit amount will be applied to the rescheduled project with no additional fees. If rescheduling after pre-production has begun, a 15% service fee will be applied to the total project budget. Additional services beyond the scope of the initial project package can be booked via our website at currently published rates.

Film production is often volatile work and can be affected by many unexpected variables. We account for this uncertainty in our project budgets and production plans, and will make every reasonable effort to accommodate such changes without incurring additional costs to you whenever possible. We are flexible and can often find creative solutions in these situations. In any case, we will discuss these issues with you if and when they arise, and alert you to any foreseeable or potential added costs.

Projects booked by flat fee will be billed on a 50/50 schedule (Deposit/Delivery, Net 15). Retainer-based projects and subscription services are invoiced monthly. Subdivision by deliverable or other payment plans may be available. GVF offers occasional promos and discounts. Inquire for details prior to booking.

Project launch and production scheduling will be done at GVF’s earliest availability following Client’s booking; signing of Client Agreement; and payment of a minimum 25% deposit against the total project budget. Estimated turnaround time for first cut review is 3-6 weeks after production wrap per deliverable. Shorter or longer time scales are possible, depending on production scope and other factors. Pending availability, you may request an expedited project at a 20% rush rate. Editing timeline and final cut delivery is feedback-dependent during the review process.

Kind words from our treasured clients...
