8. Promotional use:

​

Biopharmedia may have the right to use footage produced from the project for promotional purposes and portfolio materials to showcase case studies of their work, subject to the client's consent. The client's branding, logo, interviewee names, or any other identifying features will not be used in such content without prior consent from the client, unless otherwise specified in the client's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or other policies regarding usage.

​

In the event that the client has an NDA agreement or their own policy regarding the usage of their work, such agreement or policy will supersede the freelancer's promotional usage policy. It is the responsibility of the client to inform the freelancer of any such agreements or policies prior to commencement of the project.

​

The client acknowledges and agrees that any usage of their work by the freelancer for promotional purposes, with or without client consent, does not constitute a breach of confidentiality or infringe any intellectual property rights.

The footage shall be delivered on a SSD drive. The fee covers the cost of providing the footage in the agreed format for the client’s use. The client acknowledges that the RAW footage is unedited and may require additional work to produce a final product.

The client shall not distribute or sell the RAW footage to any third party without the prior written consent of the freelancer.

 

10. Force Majeure:

 

The freelancer shall not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of the agreement to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, adverse weather, acts of terrorism, strikes or any other events beyond the reasonable control of the freelancer.

In such circumstances, the freelancer shall make every reasonable effort to minimise the impact of such events on the project.
