Footage Rights

The copyright of all video originated by Fotan rests with Fotan Productions Ltd unless agreed otherwise. In the case of footage shot for other production companies, Fotan Productions Ltd holds the rights to the footage acquired until payment has been made.

Clients should ensure that they have the necessary rights for material they provide for inclusion within any films delivered by Fotan for the purpose for which they are going to be used.

The personal and property image rights belong to those persons captured or the property owners. Fotan will work with the client to make all reasonable attempts to make sure those rights are not infringed based on the use case of the material.

Fotan retains the right to use material captured for projects for marketing and demonstration purposes. Fotan may also insert a credit into the film. The client can choose to opt out of these rights at the time of the agreement.

Fotan will provide licence music from its subscription library to be used in projects for the purposes agreed with the client. Should the client wish to have music from a different licensed source, then licensing fees will be recharged at cost to the client.

The client should not use licenced music for other projects or new purposes outside those described in the project agreement.

Some projects requiring significant commitments prior to commencement may require the client to pay an advance prior to commencement. Any such provision should be detailed in the project agreement.

Termination

Should the client wish to terminate the project within 7 days of commencement, then the client will be liable for costs of cancellation incurred by Fotan. For projects with an advance then the advance will be considered a termination fee.

Should Fotan be unable to meet the project commitment, then it will reimburse the client for any reasonable costs of cancellation. Fotan cannot be held responsible for being unable to film due to events outside its control.
