Terms & Conditions
Terms and Conditions of Service
Last Updated: May 19, 2026
1. Definitions
The Company: For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"), this refers to Tabletop Motion Co., its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, and authorized business partners, whether currently existing or hereafter created.
Client: This refers to the individual or entity purchasing services or products from The Company.
2. Scope of Service & Artistic Discretion
Primary Obligation: The Company agrees to provide the specific shots and angles purchased by the Client at the time of order.
Gratuitous Content: The Company may, at its sole discretion, provide additional footage, alternate angles, or "bonus" media beyond the scope of the purchased order. This content is provided as a non-obligatory courtesy and is accepted by the Client "as-is." Its provision does not create a future obligation for The Company.
Artistic Discretion: The Company operates as a creative studio. All technical and creative decisions—including but not limited to lighting, composition, color grading, and "vibe"—are at the sole discretion of The Company’s artists.
Reshoot Policy: Reshoots will only be performed at The Company’s expense in the event of a documented technical failure (e.g., corrupted files). Subjective or aesthetic dissatisfaction (e.g., "change of heart" regarding the look) does not qualify for a free reshoot. Any Client-requested revisions or reshoots will be billed as a new, separate order.
3. Client Responsibilities & IP Clearance
Camera-Ready Requirement: Products must arrive in "camera-ready" condition (clean and assembled). The Company is not responsible for product prep or editing out physical flaws inherent in the item provided.
Errors and Omissions: The Client is solely responsible for the accuracy of their order instructions. The Company is not liable for errors or omissions resulting from the Client’s failure to provide clear or specific directions.
Intellectual Property Clearance: The Client warrants that they own or have secured all necessary rights to the product, logos, and trademarks provided for filming. The Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold The Company harmless from any litigation, claims, or costs (including legal fees) arising from copyright or trademark infringement related to the product or its branding.
4. Shipping, Risk of Loss, and Abandonment
Liability Waiver: The Client acknowledges that shipping products for production involves inherent risks. The Company is not liable for any loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the product, whether accidental or otherwise, while in transit or in our possession. This includes damage occurring during filming, storage, or accidental disposal. The Company does not provide insurance for Client property; insurance is the Client’s sole responsibility.
The 14-Day Clock: Digital delivery of the video link to the email provided at checkout constitutes formal notice of project completion. The Client has exactly fourteen (14) days from the timestamp of that email to provide a prepaid return shipping label.
Abandonment & Disposal: If a valid return label is not received within this 14-day window, the product is officially deemed abandoned property. The Company reserves the absolute right to dispose of, donate, or destroy abandoned property at its discretion. The Company shall not be liable for the disposal of any item once the 14-day window has expired, nor for the accidental disposal of items at any time.
Disposal Fees: In the event that disposing of the abandoned product incurs specialized costs (e.g., recycling fees, hazardous waste handling, or bulk removal), these costs will be invoiced to the Client at The Company’s actual cost plus a twenty percent (20%) administrative markup.
5. Digital Delivery & Expiration
Link Expiration: Delivery links expire exactly fourteen (14) days from the time of delivery.
No Backup Obligation: The Company is not a storage provider. It is the Client's sole responsibility to download and secure all files before the link expires. The Company is under no obligation to retain or recover footage after the expiration date.
6. Intellectual Property & Usage Rights
Work for Hire: Upon receipt of full payment, the final delivered footage is considered a "work made for hire" (as defined by the U.S. Copyright Act), with ownership of the copyright vesting in the Client.
Creator’s Perpetual License: Notwithstanding the Client’s ownership, the Client hereby grants The Company a non-revocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, and sublicensable license to use the footage and any captured media for promotional, portfolio, marketing, and social media purposes throughout the universe.
7. Limitation of Liability and Governing Law
Maximum Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Company’s total cumulative liability for any claim, whether in contract or tort, shall not exceed the actual amount paid by the Client for the specific order in question.
Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of these Terms shall be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio.
