WORKING WITH BRAINIAC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

We reserve the right to change terms and conditions at any time for any reason, without notice. Please check back to this page if you have any questions regarding updated terms. The following terms apply once we are commissioned to work for you via payment of the first invoice. Payment of the invoice executes all terms on the attached invoice agreement as well as all terms (subject to change) listed here on this site. 

​

DOES BRAINIAC GUARANTEE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT OR INCREASE IN REVENUE?

No. And we hate companies that claim it, because in most cases, it is very vague in terms of what they mean by that. In some cases, Media Buyers will not charge you for their services of scheduling and buying ad placements (such as google ads, facebook ads etc) do not perform, but the customer is still paying google or facebook for those ads. They simply aren;t paying the media planners wage (usually around 10%). So they might not get charged by the media buying company if those ads don't work, but no media buying company is going to pay google for you if your product doesn't sell. Be VERY wary about advertisers and agencies who say "if you don't close your deal, you don't pay" because what they mean is you don't pay the agency fee. You would still be out the money you paid to google or facebook or whatever platform they are running on.

​

The best way to make sure your ads have a good chance at performing is to create a great ad, call out the buyer at the beginning of the ad (especially in B2B) and use any legal remarketing services that google, facebook or the other platforms may offer. In some states and countries, ad targeting is quickly becoming a thing of the past due to new privacy laws - thus making sure you are running on the right platform and addressing the audience specifically in video ads is a strong method to grab the right peoples attention.

​

WHO OWNS THE FINAL VIDEO?

The client owns the final video exclusively yet Brainiac may use the video as samples on their site and elsewhere to acquire Brainiac other video production opportunities. 

​

Additional Terms:

This covers the preparation and submission of finished videos for CLIENT as listed on the deal memo executed via square or the payment platform used at time of purchase.

• Notes – Please Provide all notes per round in our google sheets (we will provide). If you need to add to the pre-existing revision notes, please update the google doc and resend all to ensure we know everything you need.

• WE DO NOT KEEP YOUR RAW FOOTAGE OR PROJECTS FOREVER. Content is typically deleted within 30 days of delivering the first cut of your video. 

• RAW FOOTAGE AND PROJECT FILES: Raw footage and project files are not included (you usually don't want it or need it, as we charge per video that you order. You may not derive additional videos from the content, those must be ordered from us as we make our money on a per-video basis. You may only update the videos you've ordered and own the rights to.

• In some cases, raw footage can be ordered for an additional $600 after the project is complete (at our discretion). Due to file sizes, a physical hard drive is typically used to ship all raw contents to your physical address. Most do not request the raws however If you order raw footage from us on a drive and do not receive it (or if any content is missing or corrupted) it is your job to contact us within 30 days and let us know if any materials are missing etc.

• It is always best to order any revisions or extra needs through us, as a lot of coloring software and graphics software would be required to purchase in addition to premiere,after effects, unreal engine, maxxon, boris and more in order to run or edit the videos.

Corporate Video Production, B2B Explainer Video Production, SAAS, and all forms of Software Explainer Videos are now embedded in our DNA. Our stock & screengrab driven explainers are effective and quick, and we work with clients worldwide via skype and facetime to ensure they get the exact message they need to be delivered. Explainer and promos made of stock are typically just a 5 day turn around (some in little as 48 hours, depending on the needs and que).

​

How available are you for personal attention:

Very. You can schedule calls & zooms with the director quickly here.

 

What if I need more consulting or revisions than listed in the deal memo

Additional hours may be booked at just $300 per hour.

Additional revision rounds are typically $300 per round, per video yet almost never necessary.

​

How many products should I send?

We will make recommendations on our first call depending on your product, however, five or six is typically recommended when shooting outdoors. Yet some clients only send one or two if in the prototype phase.

​

Do you return products?

No. Never. They are thrashed after an hour in the field. We hate going to post offices and more than anything, we cannot accept responsibility for damaged products during shooting on gigs where we charge such affordable rates. Keeping our liabilities limited helps us continue to serve companies big and small on realistic budgets. Exceptions can be made for merchandise valued over $5,000 however we will never guarantee the product would be resealable. This must be arranged in writing prior to the execution of the deal memo / square invoice.

​

Do you provide reshoots?

Yes, at the same price/rate as the original shoot.
