Terms & Conditions
Service provider: Tejas Kulkarni, an individual freelancer based in India (“I”, “me”, “my”)
Contact: tejaskulkarninbox@gmail.com
These Terms apply to all video editing, motion graphics and related services I provide (“Services”) to you (“Client”). By booking a call, paying an invoice or sending me footage, you agree to these Terms.
1. Services and plans
1.1 The Services are provided as monthly plans (Starter, Growth, Premium) as described on my website, or as a custom package agreed in writing (email or message is enough).
1.2 Each plan includes the number, length and type of videos shown for that plan. Anything beyond that is an add-on and needs your confirmation and payment before I begin.
1.3 Plans are for a single business or channel and may not be shared or resold unless we agree in writing.
2. Payments
2.1 Plans are billed monthly in advance. Work on a month begins when payment is received.
2.2 A first pilot month may require 50% upfront and 50% before final delivery.
2.3 Growth and Premium plans have a minimum term of 3 months.
2.4 Invoices are due on receipt unless stated otherwise. If a payment is late by more than 7 days, I may pause work until it is received, and delivery dates move accordingly.
2.5 You are responsible for any bank, currency conversion, payment platform fees and taxes charged to you in your country. Amounts are quoted in USD or INR as stated on the invoice.
2.6 Payments for a month that has started are non-refundable. If I fail to deliver what the plan includes, I will complete the missing work or credit it to the next month.
3. What I need from you
3.1 You will send raw footage, brand assets, music preferences, references and a brief for each video by the agreed date each month.
3.2 Turnaround times start only after I have received payment, footage and a clear brief. Delays in sending materials, feedback or approvals move delivery dates.
3.3 Footage should be reasonable in size and quality. As a guide, up to about 60 minutes of footage per long-form video is included. Heavier loads may require an add-on.
3.4 Please give clear, consolidated feedback in one message per revision round where possible.
4. Revisions
4.1 Starter includes 2 rounds of revisions per video. Growth and Premium include 3 rounds per video.
4.2 A revision is a change to an existing edit. A change in concept, new footage, or a major change to the brief after approval is a new job and may be charged as an add-on.
4.3 If I do not hear from you within 7 days of delivery, I may treat the video as approved.
5. Turnaround and delivery
5.1 Turnaround times are targets as listed for each plan. I will tell you quickly if something may be late.
5.2 Delivery is by download link (Google Drive, Dropbox or similar). Files are delivered in the agreed format.
5.3 Unused videos in a monthly plan do not roll over to later months.
6. Ownership and rights
6.1 Your footage and materials: You keep full ownership of everything you send me.
6.2 Final videos: After I receive full payment for the month, you own the final delivered videos and may use them for your own business, channels and advertising.
6.3 Working files: Project files, templates, presets and any editing tools I made or use remain mine unless we agree otherwise in writing and you pay for a transfer.
6.4 Portfolio: I may show finished work in my portfolio, website and social profiles unless you tell me in writing that you want it kept private. I will not publish confidential or unreleased material.
6.5 Third-party material: Stock footage, music and fonts I add may carry licences that restrict how they can be used. I will use properly licensed or royalty-free material where I choose it, and I will tell you about any special licence conditions.
7. Your responsibilities about content
7.1 You confirm that you own, or have permission to use, all footage, music, images, logos and other materials you send me, and that using them will not break anyone’s rights.
7.2 You are responsible for how you publish and promote the final videos, and for any claims made in them.
7.3 I may refuse work that is illegal, hateful, misleading or otherwise harmful.
8. Data retention and deletion
8.1 I keep your footage, files and project materials only for as long as needed to do the work.
8.2 After final delivery of each month’s work, I keep your materials for 30 days. After that period, I permanently delete them from my devices, cloud storage and backups, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
8.3 You must download and back up your final videos and any raw files or materials you want to keep before the 30 days end. I will send a reminder about 7 days before deletion, but the responsibility to collect your data is yours.
8.4 Once deleted, I cannot recover the footage, project files or deliverables. I am not responsible for any loss caused by deletion carried out under this section.
8.5 If you want files kept longer, ask in writing before the 30 days end. Extended storage may be charged for.
8.6 You may ask me to delete your data earlier at any time by emailing me. I will do so within a reasonable time, except where I must keep some records (such as invoices) by law.
8.7 I will not delete work that is the subject of an open dispute until it is settled.
9. Confidentiality
9.1 I will treat your unreleased videos, footage, scripts, business details and other non-public information as confidential and will not share them with others, except with people who help me deliver the work and are bound to keep it confidential, or where required by law.
9.2 This does not apply to information that is already public or that you ask me to share.
10. Term and cancellation
10.1 After the minimum term, either of us may cancel with 7 days’ written notice before the next billing date. Starter may be cancelled any time before the next billing date.
10.2 Cancellation stops future billing but does not entitle you to a refund for a month already begun.
10.3 I may end the Services if payments stop, if you break these Terms, or if the work becomes unlawful or abusive. I will complete or credit any paid work already due where I can.
11. Liability
11.1 I will do the work with reasonable skill and care, but I cannot guarantee any specific results such as views, followers, sales or leads.
11.2 To the extent allowed by law, my total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid me for the month in which the problem arose.
11.3 I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss caused by delays outside my control, for example power or internet failure or platform outages.
12. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms apply from the date shown above for new bookings. For existing clients, changes take effect at the start of the next billing month after I notify you.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. We will try to resolve any problem by talking first. If we cannot, courts in [your city, state], India will have jurisdiction, unless the law gives you a different right.
