Terms and Conditions of Business:

LCM CIC is a producer of original media arts entertainment and made-to-order multimedia and video material and also publisher and distributor of multimedia, video and other training materials.

Our terms of business for made-to-order productions may vary with the nature and content of the production, but the principal standard terms are that:

1. We reserve the right to charge for work in instalments, for example 30% with order, 30% on completion of filming, 40% on completion of the whole contract.

2. Should a client request additional services or content not in the original specification as agreed at the start of the contract, we reserve the right to charge for this additional work, but will if possible advise the client of any additional costs before these are incurred.

3. On completion of the contract and payment of all invoices by the client, copyright in the material will pass to the client, with the exception of material licensed to the production by a third party (eg. a music or photo library) or where the production is a joint venture between the producer and the client for the production of material to be sold to third party(s)

4. Every effort will be made to ensure accuracy of content by the producer, but the client must assume liability for any information, text, graphic, photographic, video or other material supplied by the client for use in the project, both in terms of accuracy and also the producer’s right to include that material in the production. The client must take responsibility for approving the script and any other material supplied to him/her by the producer, and assume any liability to third parties that may result. The client must also provide a responsible and suitably qualified person to oversee any video or photographic shoot or similar production process.

5. The producer accepts no liability for delays to the project caused by factors outside their control, including failure by the client or other parties to supply facilities or other resources when scheduled, or failure to approve script or other content when requested.

6. When and where the producer and their subcontractors, performers, etc. are working on a location provided by the client, the client must assume liability for their safety.

Our terms and conditions for the sale of ready-made materials are that:

a. Where materials have been supplied on approval or free trial, they may not be used for presentation or training purposes until the customer has purchased and paid for the materials.

b. Materials may not be loaned or sold on to third parties without the agreement of the producers.

c. Materials are not licensed for public showing unless otherwise agreed.

d. Materials may not be copied or distributed over a network, either in part or in their entirety, unless specifically permitted in any terms and conditions supplied with the materials. This condition applies to all intellectual content, whether text, graphic, photographic, video, music or other content.

e. Every effort will have been made to ensure the accuracy of content, but the training materials are intended as a general overview of a particular topic, and are not a substitute for expert professional advice. They should be regarded as secondary to the client's company policy and also to legislation covering the particular topic. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the materials are appropriate and adequate for the use that the customer intends.
