9.1.1.

9.1.2. The remaining 50% of the budget shall be due and payable to Filmer on completion of the Production, and by no later than the end of the month in which the invoice is dated if the same is received prior to the 16th of that month, or not later than the 15th of the following month if dated later than the 15th of the month.

9.2.2. if the Creator is eligible, via progress payments, in accordance with the Brief and the prescribed payment schedule using the Platform. 

9.3. In relation to payments referred to in sub-paragraph 9.2.2 above, the Client and Creator acknowledge that the Client will be responsible for the release of payments, including progress payments, based on the Creator’s achievement of the agreed milestones and signifying final delivery by marking the Brief as complete on the Platform (or delivery being 

deemed to have occurred – see paragraph 9.4 below). Any costs incurred by the Creator prior to release of payments are solely at the Creator’s own risk. 

9.4. Client warrants that it will acknowledge final delivery of the Production (acting reasonably and in good faith) by marking the relevant Brief as complete via the Platform. In the

absence of such acknowledgement, Client agrees that final delivery shall have been deemed to occur if Client does not reject delivery within 21 days of receipt of the final online edit of Production or on any use by Client of the Production. Client acknowledges that it will only be entitled to reject the Production in the event of breach of the Contract by the Creator or if the Client acting reasonably is of the opinion that the Production does not substantially accord with the Brief and subsequent directions given in respect of the Production in accordance with the Contract. 

9.5. Client is solely responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence and ensuring the suitability of the Creator prior to their engagement, and a lack of experience or skill on behalf of the relevant Creator will not (by itself) entitle Client to reject delivery.

Client will be entitled to a repayment from us of the amount of the Creator Payment not yet released to the Creator.

Client agrees to pay the interest together with the overdue amount. 

9.8. Client agrees to make all payments under the Contract without withholding or deduction of, or in respect of, any Taxes unless required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required by law, Client agrees to, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to us such additional amount as will ensure that we receive the same total amount that we would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been required. In addition, where required to be paid by law, the Client must provide to us a copy of the certificate of withholding (or analogous document). 

9.9. Client and Creator acknowledge that: 

9.9.1. The payments under the Contract payable to Filmer are exclusive of Taxes which, if applicable, shall be payable by Client; 

9.9.2. the Creator Payment shall be paid to Creator in the currency stated on the Brief (or as otherwise advised by us) by such method as stated on the Platform (which may be updated from time to time); 

9.9.3. we have no responsibility to Creator whatsoever in relation to the impact of exchange rate variations or payment gateway fees and charges, on the amounts that Creator actually receives; 

9.9.4. Notwithstanding clause 9.9.1, in the event a Client determines that it is required to withhold any Taxes from any sums payable to us, the Client is obligated to notify us in advance, setting out the legal basis for the withholding of these sums. 

9.10. Client further acknowledges that, once the Creator Payment (or any portion of it) is released to the Creator, the Creator Payment is non-refundable other than as expressly set out in the Contract and we shall have no liability to the Client in respect of the same. Client is solely responsible for undertaking due diligence in respect of the relevant Creator and/or 

Production to ensure its compliance with the Contract prior to triggering progress payments and/or acknowledging final delivery. 

9.11. Creator warrants that it is entitled to be the sole recipient of the Creator Payment or any other payment in respect of a Production, and neither us nor any Client shall have

additional liability to Creator or any other person in respect of any Production following payment in full of the Creator Payment. 

9.12. Privacy: We take the security of your payment and personal information seriously. All personal information that you provide to us is subject to our Privacy Policy. However, due to the nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that your communications will be free from unauthorised access by third parties. Accordingly, we will not be liable for any loss or damages arising from third parties’ unauthorised access of your data. 

10. CANCELLATION OF BRIEFS DUE TO CREATOR’S BREACH 

10.1. If the Creator is in material breach of its obligations pursuant to the Contract and, if capable of remedy, such breach has not been remedied within 72 (seventy two) hours of written notice requiring such remedy, Client may cancel a Brief after commissioning a Creator at any time on provision of written notice to the Creator and us. 

10.2. If a Client cancels a Brief 72 hours or more before the Response Deadline, Client will not incur cancellation fees. 

10.3. If however a Client cancels a Brief 72 hours or less before the Response Deadline or after the Response Deadline, but before selection of a Brief, Client will be liable for 50% (fifty percent) of the Filmer Fee.

Without limiting this clause 11.1, if the Creator briefs any third party with respect to a Brief, Response or the Contract, the Creator must enter into an agreement with the third party under which the third party commits to confidentiality obligations not less onerous than those set out in clause 11.1.

If the transfer can only be carried out physically, the Client will reimburse the Creator’s reasonable costs for the purchase and couriering of a portable hard drive. 

11.7. Other than in relation to the grant of the Licence, nothing in the Contract will be taken to constitute a transfer, assignment or grant of any ownership or other rights in any intellectual property rights in the Client Assets to us or Creator.

Any such change will only apply to your use of the Platform after the change is displayed on the Platform and notice has been provided to you as aforesaid.

17. FORCE MAJEURE 

17.1. Failure by the Client, the Creator or us to perform any of their respective obligations under the Contract (or a delay in such performance) due to a Force Majeure Event, will not constitute a breach of the Contract. The party affected by the Force Majeure Event will: 

17.1.1. promptly give the other parties notice of the Force Majeure Event and an estimate of the non-performance and delay; 

17.1.2. take all reasonable steps to overcome the effects of the Force Majeure Event; and 

17.1.3. resume performance as soon as practicable after the Force Majeure Event no longer affects any party, provided that if a Force Majeure Event continues for a period of 30 days or more, the Client may terminate a Brief or the Contract with immediate effect by providing notice to us and the Creator. Where a Force Majeure 

Event is an act of God (including a severe weather event) which prevents production or filming which cannot be rescheduled despite the parties best efforts, the Client and Creator mutually agree to negotiate in good faith for the settlement of any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Creator prior to the Force Majeure Event (including a severe weather event). 

17.2. Creator must ensure that its production schedule for a Production that involves outdoor filming includes a back-up plan, where possible, for inclement weather. If the Creator fails 

to have such a plan or to implement such a plan, then clause 17.1.3 above will not apply to any resulting failure by Creator to meet its obligations under the Contract.
