These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between Jonas Hempel (hereinafter referred to as "Video Editor") and his clients. Deviating terms of the client will only be recognized if confirmed in writing.
A contract is established once the client explicitly confirms the Video Editor's offered service – for example via email or WhatsApp – and the Video Editor declares acceptance or begins executing the work.
The Video Editor provides services in video editing, color correction, animation, and other post-production work. The exact scope of services is individually agreed upon for each project. After full payment, the client receives unrestricted usage rights to the created content.
The client commits to providing all materials necessary for project completion in a timely manner and suitable format. The client confirms having all required rights to these materials and that no third-party rights are violated.
Two revision rounds are included in the agreed price. Additional changes will be charged separately based on effort. After payment is made, the project is considered complete; subsequent adjustments or changes are excluded.
Payment is due after project completion and invoice receipt. Payments are due within 14 days of invoicing without deductions. Delivery of final materials may be withheld until payment is received.
Upon full payment, the client receives unrestricted usage rights to the created videos. The Video Editor reserves the right to showcase completed projects for reference purposes on their website, social media, or portfolio presentations.
The Video Editor is only liable for damages resulting from intentional or grossly negligent behavior. The Video Editor assumes no liability for materials provided by the client. The client indemnifies the Video Editor against all third-party claims.
Personal data is processed exclusively for contract fulfillment. Further information is provided in a separate privacy policy.
German law applies. Place of jurisdiction is Rostock. Should any provision of these Terms and Conditions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
