Terms of service
These terms govern editing work carried out by 404films productions LLC. If we have signed a separate agreement with you, that agreement takes precedence wherever the two differ.
9 September 2026
What we provide
Short-form and long-form video editing, and packaging work such as thumbnails and titles, as described on this website and agreed with you before work begins.
Retainers and billing
Work runs on a monthly retainer covering an agreed volume of deliverables. Retainers are billed in advance and renew monthly until cancelled.
Volume not used within a month does not carry over, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.
Revisions
Every tier includes two rounds of revisions per deliverable. A round means one consolidated set of notes, not an open-ended sequence of individual requests.
Further revisions, or changes that alter the brief agreed at the outset, are quoted separately.
What we need from you
Usable footage delivered in the agreed structure, and feedback within a reasonable time. Turnaround estimates assume both. A delay on your side moves the delivery date by at least the same amount.
Who owns the work
On full payment, the finished deliverables are yours. You own them outright and may use them however you wish.
Project files are provided on request as part of delivery.
We retain no right to publish, display or reference your work without your written permission.
What we do not promise
We do not guarantee views, watch time, retention, subscriber growth, revenue, or any other result. Nobody honestly can — outcomes depend on your material, your audience, and platforms whose behaviour none of us controls.
We promise craft and the process described here. Anyone promising you numbers is selling something else.
Cancellation
You may cancel a retainer at any time, effective at the end of the current billing month. Work already commissioned within that month is completed and delivered.
We may decline or end an engagement, in which case any amount covering undelivered work is returned.
Liability
Our total liability in connection with the work is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost revenue or lost opportunity.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States.
