- For a booking involving a Church Ceremony or certain venues, the videographer’s movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge. The area from which the Videographer is able to cover the ceremony may not be the videographer’s choice and he cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case.
- It is the sole responsibility of the client to secure permission of the venue to set up video equipment and record with or without flash.
- Although Perfect Video will endeavour to fulfill the requirements of the agreed package, sometimes this may not be possible due to reasons explained within these Terms and Conditions.
5. ON THE EVENT DAY
- The videographer is the only authorized and official videographer for your event day.
- The videographer will abide by all rules of the facility and/or directions of the staff/facility coordinator with regard to video set-up and will not be held responsible for absence of certain shots due to such rules and/or directions, or due to interference by event guests or vendors, including the photographer.
- The client acknowledges that videography requires reasonable lighting and controllable audio environments, and that production may be compromised if either of these cannot be achieved.
6. EDITING & POST PRODUCTIONS
- Whilst every effort will be made by the videographer to supply the client with a satisfactory product based upon the videographer’s advertised style, and to the specified requirements agreed beforehand, all editing and post production will be carried out to the videographer’s discretion.

9. LIABILITY & REFUND
