Terms and Conditions of Use of Worthfull Media’s Studio
Last Updated August 2023
NOTICE: These Terms and Conditions of Use are legally binding. It is your responsibility to read these Terms and Conditions of Use carefully prior to purchase, use or access to any of our studio booking services.
This Agreement is made between you (“Client”) and Worthfull Media (“Agency”).
Agency hereby agrees to provide and deliver to Client the production of the below referenced media(s) (“Specified Media(s)”), subject to and in accordance with all terms, conditions, and specifications set forth herein.
PAYMENT
Client understands that the specified terms of payment under this Agreement are based upon timely payments within 7 days of booked service completion. We request full payment be made by beginning of booked service, but allow a 7 day grace period.
LATE FEES
If said fee is not in receipt within 7 days of the due date, a ten percent (10%) penalty fee will be added to that booked service’s fee. Agency reserves the right to withhold asset delivery until all outstanding project fees and assessed penalties are paid in full.
For example, Client owes Agency $1000 due on April 1 and fails to pay by April 8th. On April 9th, Client owes Agency $1100.
EXPENSES
Any expenses incurred by Agency while providing Client with Services will be invoiced to Client in a timely manner.
CLIENT DESIRES TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE
If the Client desires to cancel or re-schedule studio booking for any reason at any time, then Client shall provide at least 24 hours Notice to Agency in order to cancel this contract. Providing Notice will not relieve Client of any currently outstanding payment obligations. Agency will not be obligated to refund any portion of monies Client has previously paid to Agency. If Agency is able to re-book further services on or before Client’s final delivery date, Client may be issued a credit for future services with Agency at Agency’s discretion. Agency has no obligation to attempt to re-book further Services to make up for Client’s cancellation or rescheduling.
NO-SHOWS
If it becomes impossible for Agency to render Services due to the fault of the Client or parties related to Client, such as failure to provide necessary elements of the Services or failure of one or more essential parties to the Services to complete tasks in a timely manner, it is within the Agency’s sole discretion to allow for any additional time or dates to render Services. In such an event, any outstanding amount will immediately become due and payable to Agency.
AGENCY DESIRES TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE
In the event Agency cannot or will not perform her obligations in any or all parts of this Agreement, it (or a responsible party) will immediately give Notice to Client, and at the Agency’s discretion, either attempt to find a reasonable substitute to fulfill the terms of this Agreement or issue a refund or credit based on a reasonably accurate percentage of Services rendered. In the case of a refund where, at the discretion of the Agency, no reasonable substitute is found, Agency shall excuse Client of further performance obligations in this Agreement.
STYLE RELEASE
Client has spent a satisfactory amount of time reviewing Agency’s work and has a reasonable expectation that Agency’s Services will produce a reasonably similar outcome and result for Client. Agency will use reasonable efforts to ensure Client’s services are carried out in a style and manner consistent with Agency’s current portfolio and services, and Agency will try to incorporate any suggestions Client makes. However, Client understands and agrees that:
- Every client and final delivery is different, with different tastes, budgets, and needs;
- Media production is a subjective service and Agency is a provider with a unique vision, with an ever-evolving style and technique;
- Agency will use her personal judgment to create favorable results for Client, which may not include strict adherence to Client’s suggestions;
- Dissatisfaction with Agency’s independent judgment or individual management style are not valid reasons for termination of this Agreement or request of any monies returned.
TOOLS TO BE PROVIDED BY CLIENT:
Client agrees to provide all tools, information and documentation that may be required by Agency to effectively perform said responsibilities in connection with the performance of services.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Parties will treat and hold all information of or relating to this Agreement, the Services provided and the Parties’ businesses in strict confidence and will not use any of this information except in connection with fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, and, if this Agreement is terminated for whatever reason, Parties will return all such information and will remain bound to the Confidentiality provision of this Agreement.

Parties own their respective trademarks and intellectual property used in the normal and separate course of their business and agree not to infringe upon or otherwise use each other’s respective intellectual property except for in the course of providing Client with its Services.
