These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Open Gate Films website located at opengatefilms.com.au and the video production services provided by Open Gate Films, operated by Daniel Kuberek ("Open Gate Films", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our website or engage our services.
Open Gate Films provides professional video production services including, but not limited to:
The scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing of any specific project will be agreed upon in writing via a project proposal, quote, or service agreement prior to commencement of work.
All quotes provided by Open Gate Films are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Quotes are based on the information provided at the time of enquiry and may be subject to change if project scope changes.
A project is considered confirmed upon receipt of a signed proposal or written acceptance of a quote, along with any required deposit payment. Open Gate Films reserves the right to decline any project at its discretion prior to commencement.
Half-day shoot projects start from $4,650 + GST. Pricing for larger or more complex productions will be quoted individually based on project requirements including cast, crew, location, and post-production scope.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a deposit of 50% of the total project fee is required prior to commencement of production. This deposit is non-refundable once pre-production work has commenced.
The remaining balance is due upon delivery of final assets, or as stipulated in the project agreement. Final deliverables will not be released until full payment has been received.
Invoices not paid within 14 days of the due date may incur a late payment fee. Open Gate Films reserves the right to suspend or withhold delivery of assets until outstanding amounts are settled.
All prices are quoted exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) unless otherwise stated. GST will be added to all applicable invoices in accordance with Australian tax law.
Each project includes a set number of revision rounds as outlined in the project proposal. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may be subject to additional fees, which will be communicated before work commences.
Significant changes to the project brief, scope, or creative direction after production has begun may result in revised pricing and timelines. Any scope changes must be agreed upon in writing by both parties.
Open Gate Films aims to deliver final assets within the timeframes agreed in the project proposal. While we maintain an average turnaround of 7 days for standard projects, complex productions may require additional time. We will communicate any delays as soon as reasonably practicable.
Delivery timelines are contingent on timely provision of client materials, approvals, and feedback. Delays caused by the client may affect the agreed delivery date.
Upon receipt of full and final payment, Open Gate Films assigns to the client all rights to the final delivered video assets produced specifically for that client, as outlined in the project agreement.
Open Gate Films retains the right to display completed projects in its portfolio, on its website, and across its social media channels for the purpose of self-promotion, unless a confidentiality agreement has been separately executed.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, raw (unedited) footage remains the property of Open Gate Films and is not included in standard project deliverables. Transfer of raw footage may be arranged upon request and may attract additional fees.
The client is responsible for ensuring they hold all necessary licences and rights for any materials they supply to Open Gate Films for use in production, including logos, music, images, and branding assets.
The client agrees to:
If a project is cancelled by the client after written confirmation and deposit payment, the deposit is non-refundable. If cancellation occurs after production has commenced, the client may be liable for the full project fee or a proportion thereof, based on the amount of work completed.
In exceptional circumstances, Open Gate Films may cancel a project prior to commencement and will provide a full refund of any deposit paid. We will give as much notice as reasonably possible.
To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, Open Gate Films' liability for any claim arising from the provision of services is limited to the total fees paid by the client for the specific project in question.
Open Gate Films is not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages, including loss of profit, loss of business, or reputational damage arising from the use or reliance on our services or delivered content.
Open Gate Films warrants that its services will be performed with reasonable skill and care consistent with industry standards. We do not guarantee specific commercial outcomes (such as views, engagement, or conversions) from the use of produced video assets.
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information, project briefs, strategies, or business materials disclosed during the course of a project. This obligation survives the completion or termination of the project.
You agree to use the Open Gate Films website for lawful purposes only. You must not use the website in any way that infringes the rights of others, is harmful, fraudulent, or constitutes unlawful activity.
