Mint Videos cannot be held responsible for traffic delays. Under any and all circumstances, Mint Videos liability is limited to a refund of the deposit/retainer fee.  In the unlikely event that Mint Videos is unable to film your wedding, due to extreme illness, injury or bereavement for example, a suitable replacement videographer will be sought to cover for him, but this is not guaranteed. Under these circumstances, Mint Videos would more than likely edit the footage.



 

16.  EDITING:

 

Editing does not commence until any outstanding charges have been paid in full.  Mint Videos will endeavor to get your wedding film to you as soon as possible. It may take longer to receive your edit depending on the time of year and complexity of editing, or due to unforeseen delays that are beyond the control of Mint Videos.  Editing is a very involved and creative process and it is constantly evolving. We do appreciate your patience while we craft your wedding footage into a beautiful wedding film that you will have and cherish for the rest of your lives.

 

 

17.  POST-DELIVERY:

 

If for any reason you are unhappy with anything after you receive your wedding film package in the mail, the client agrees to immediately get in touch with Mint Videos, in writing, detailing what is wrong.  The client must do this within 14 days of receipt/delivery of the wedding film package, otherwise we may move your footage off our computers and hard drives. Extra editing may incur additional charges depending on what it entails.  This is at the discretion of Mint Videos. If something is wrong with the edit, and if it’s the fault of Mint Videos, and if it can be rectified, Mint Videos agrees to rectify the error and send new copies to the client without charge.


 

18.  THIRD PARTY WEBSITES:

 

If you are receiving a section of your wedding video film from Mint Videos (for example, short film highlights), in whole or in part, and if it is appearing on or hosted by any third party website like Vimeo.com, for example, you are responsible for downloading and archiving your film in the event that for any reason the company hosting the film one day decides to remove it from their website, or goes out of business.  If you don’t download and archive your own film, we will more than likely still be able to provide you with it, but cannot guarantee it.



 

19.  YOUR DIGITAL SIGNATURE:

 

Payment of a deposit to ‘Mint Videos’ to secure your wedding date as a booking is taken to mean that you agree to the Terms of Agreement, with or without a physical signature.




 

20.  TIME OVERRUN ON NIGHT OF WEDDING:

 

The client is expected to know the finishing time of the package they have chosen and agreed with Mint Videos.  If the night is running late, Mint Videos will stay to capture the agreed upon activities/events such as the dancing only if they can do so.


 

21.  MEAL:

 

Although the thought is greatly appreciated, the client agrees to not seat Mint Videos at a table with guests on the day of the wedding, which would limit his ability to work at the wedding.  Since Mint Videos will be working for the entire day, they will sit and have a meal at the bar or restaurant, or the room nearest to the main function room while the guests are eating, so they can keep an eye on what is happening (when the cake is about to be cut, when the speeches are starting etc).  The client agrees to cover the cost of the meal.

 

The client agrees to inform their contact at their venue/hotel that there will be a videographer present for the evening and that he will be having a meal. Many wedding venues are already accustomed to providing a meal to the wedding videographer when guests are being served their meals.



 

22.  DRONE / AERIAL FILMING:

 

Use of the drone is dependent upon any cause which is beyond our control, including but not limited to unsuitable weather conditions, restrictions, or an inappropriate filming location.  Due to any possible safety risks or concerns, use of the drone is at the sole discretion of Mint Videos at all times. The drone will not be flown over an assembly of people, closer than 5km from any aerodrome, over urban areas such as built up villages, town and cities, in civil or military controlled airspace, or in restricted areas.

 


 

23.  UPGRADING / DOWNGRADING PACKAGE:

 

The client may upgrade their package before the wedding date by letting Mint Videos know by e-mail. The client may not downgrade their package at any time.



 

24.  DURATION / RUNNING TIME:

 

The duration or running time of a wedding film can vary, generally depending on the length of the speeches.  Generally speaking, wedding speeches are approximately forty minutes in duration. A feature length film edit is usually approx 1 – 2 hours, but could be longer or shorter, depending on various factors including the duration of the speeches.  Likewise, a short film highlights edit is usually 3 – 5 minutes, but may be shorter or longer depending on various factors. The duration times given are to be used as an approximate guide only.
