Terms

We will always do our best to fulfill—and hopefully exceed—your photography, videography, and livestream needs. But it’s important for both parties to understand what’s expected. The following Terms and Conditions outline the scope and limitations of our services.

All services provided by Goodshot Films Inc. (Goodshot.ca) are subject to the following Terms and Conditions. These may vary with each assignment and will be shared in advance when applicable.

1. DEFINITIONS:

This Agreement is between Goodshot Films Inc. (“Goodshot.ca”) and You (“Client”), which includes the Client’s principals, employees, affiliates, and representatives. The Client affirms they have the legal authority to enter this Agreement on behalf of their employer, company, or organization. Goodshot Films Inc. operates as an independent contractor.

“Content” refers to any photos, video footage, livestreams, or media materials created by Goodshot Films Inc., whether still or moving, in any format (digital, magnetic, optical, etc.).

2. COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP & USAGE RIGHTS:

Client acknowledges that Goodshot Films Inc. is the sole author and copyright holder of all content created under this Agreement.

• All content remains the exclusive intellectual property of Goodshot Films Inc.

• Licences are granted—not sold—and usage rights must be explicitly defined in writing.

• Unless otherwise agreed, licences are non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable.

Client is not purchasing ownership, but receiving limited rights for defined use cases beginning upon receipt of full payment.

Use of content in logos, trademarks, or corporate branding is not permitted unless agreed in writing. No usage constitutes a work of joint authorship.

3. PROMOTIONAL USE BY GOODSHOT FILMS INC.:

Client grants Goodshot Films Inc. the unrestricted right to use any photos, videos, or livestream recordings from the assignment for promotional purposes, including but not limited to:

• Social media

• Website portfolios

• Advertisements

• Online or print publications

This promotional use does not require further permission, notice, or compensation. This clause remains enforceable after the contract ends.

4. CLIENT-PROVIDED CONTENT:

If the Client provides music, logos, images, or other media to be included in their final product, the following applies:

Client represents and warrants that they hold the legal rights or licenses to any content they supply. Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Goodshot Films Inc. against any claims related to copyright infringement or intellectual property violations resulting from such content.

5. LIVESTREAMING LIMITATIONS:

Goodshot Films Inc. will make all reasonable efforts to ensure stable livestreams during events. However:

We are not liable for interruptions caused by:

• Internet outages

• Venue network restrictions

• Platform issues (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, Zoom)

• Acts of God or third-party disruptions

If feasible, a backup recording of the livestream will be provided.

6. GENERAL LIABILITY & INDEMNITY:

Goodshot Films Inc. takes reasonable care in service delivery but is not responsible for consequential losses resulting from Client use of delivered materials.

Client agrees to indemnify and defend Goodshot Films Inc. and its contractors against any claims or liabilities, including legal costs, arising from use or misuse of content.

If guests or vendors damage our equipment, the Client is liable for repair or replacement costs, which will be added to the final invoice.

7. PAYMENT TERMS:

• Full payment is required before services begin

• Post-production starts only after payment is cleared

• No usage rights are granted until payment is received

• Unauthorized use before payment is considered infringement, and Client agrees to pay double the total invoice in such cases

Invoices act as receipts. Bank fees are the Client’s responsibility.

8. CANCELLATIONS & POSTPONEMENTS:

Client is responsible for all costs incurred before cancellation, plus:

• 35% of service fee if cancelled within 24 hours of the event

• 50% of service fee if cancelled after crew has left for the event

Deposits are non-refundable if cancellation/postponement occurs within 2 business days of the event.

Postponed events are treated as new assignments and billed accordingly.

9. RESHOOTS:

Reshoots caused by weather, acts of God, venue policies, or third-party issues are billed for expenses only. No extra fee is charged by Goodshot Films Inc. for the actual reshoot.

10. FAILURE TO PERFORM:

If Goodshot Films Inc. is unable to perform due to illness, mechanical failure, or emergencies, we will:

1. Try to secure a qualified replacement

2. If unsuccessful, refund fees minus third-party expenses

This also applies if files are lost due to technical malfunction.

11. KILL FEE:

If services are delivered as agreed but not used by the Client, full payment remains due.

12. FILE DELIVERY & ARCHIVING:

Final files will be delivered in an industry-standard format suitable for the intended platform.

Goodshot Films Inc. is not responsible for archiving files long-term. The Client must download and securely store delivered files.

We make no guarantees about the future availability of delivered content.

13. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS:

This Agreement is binding upon the Client and their representatives. It cannot be transferred or assigned.

Changes must be in writing (emails and e-signatures are valid). Verbal authorizations for additional services, when immediate confirmation is impractical, are enforceable if reflected on the final invoice.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. Client specifically and irrevocably agrees that any legal matters arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. 

Use of any content from Goodshot Films Inc. constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
