Terms of Service
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Cinematic Estate website and the commissioning of property films and related services. By using our website or submitting a commission, you agree to these Terms.
2. About Our Service
Cinematic Estate creates cinematic property films from professional listing photography provided by you. We do not conduct on-site filming. Our service combines AI-assisted motion generation with human editorial review, scoring, sequencing, and colour grading.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts. If you are commissioning on behalf of an agency, you confirm you have authority to bind that entity.
4. Content You Provide
You retain full ownership of all photographs and materials you upload ("Your Content"). By uploading Your Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use it solely for the purpose of creating and delivering your commissioned film.
You warrant that:
- You own the rights to all uploaded content, or have permission from the rights holder
- Your Content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
- Your Content is lawful and not misleading
5. The Commission Process
5.1 Submission
You submit your listing photography via our website or WhatsApp, along with any relevant property details.
5.2 Crafting
We create your film using a combination of AI-assisted tools and human editorial review. Typical delivery of a watermarked preview is within 48 hours of receiving suitable photography.
5.3 Preview and Approval
We deliver a watermarked preview for your review. You may:
- Approve the preview and proceed to payment
- Request one round of revisions at no additional cost
- Decline the film and walk away (see Section 7)
5.4 Final Delivery
Upon approval and payment, we deliver the unmarked master file and all agreed platform-optimised versions.
6. Payment
6.1 Pricing
Pricing is agreed before crafting begins or, for debut commissions, confirmed at the preview stage. All prices are quoted in Euros (€) and exclude applicable taxes.
6.2 Payment Terms
For debut commissions: payment is due upon approval of the watermarked preview.
For partnership agreements: payment terms are set out in your specific agreement.
6.3 Methods
We accept payment via Stripe or other methods as agreed. Payment must be received in full before final unmarked files are released.
7. The Seller-Ready Guarantee (Refunds)
We want you to be confident presenting our work to your sellers.
If, after receiving the final unmarked film, you genuinely believe it is not presentable to your seller, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will issue a full refund.
This guarantee does not apply where:
- The film has already been published or distributed
- The request is made more than 7 days after delivery
- The concern arises from changes to the property or listing after delivery
8. Revisions
One round of revisions is included with every commission. Revisions must be requested within 7 days of preview delivery and should relate to tone, pacing, sequencing, or specific frames. Additional revisions may be charged at our standard hourly rate.
9. Intellectual Property
9.1 Your Content
As stated in Section 4, you retain ownership of all uploaded photography.
9.2 Our Work
Upon full payment, you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the final film for marketing and listing purposes. We retain the right to use the film in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing unless you request otherwise in writing.
9.3 White-Label Partnerships
For agency partners with white-label agreements, branding and IP terms are set out in the specific partnership contract.
10. Turnaround and Delays
Our standard delivery for a watermarked preview is 48 hours from receipt of suitable photography. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. We are not liable for delays caused by:
- Late, incomplete, or unsuitable photo submissions
- Technical failures beyond our reasonable control
- Revisions extending beyond the included round
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cinematic Estate's total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific commission in question.
We are not liable for:
- Any indirect, consequential, or loss-of-profit damages
- The sale or non-sale of the property
- Third-party platform rejections (e.g., portal formatting issues)
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Cinematic Estate operates. Any disputes shall be resolved in good faith.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will be posted on our website. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
