4. Services
​
4.1 Overview of Services; Studio ZANYC provides a comprehensive range of commercial photography services to our clients. Our Services are designed to help you produce exceptional photos, videos, and other content. By engaging our Services, you can request a work order ("Work Order") for a photoshoot, video-shoot, or other session to create content (each referred to as a "Shoot"). The output of the initial Shoot is referred to as "Intermediates."
​
4.2 Selects; Studio ZANYC will supply you with a selection of Intermediates for your consideration ("Selects"). You may only use the Intermediates to review and choose the set of Selects images. The selected Intermediates will be passed on to the next step of the process, which is Post-Production, where they will be edited to create the Post-Produced Images.
4.3 Post-Production; Upon receiving your set of Selects, Studio ZANYC will commence post-production on the chosen Intermediates. Post-production may include a range of editing techniques, such as retouching, color correction, background normalization, and other image manipulations, at the discretion of Studio ZANYC and within the scope of the original Work Order.
​
Studio ZANYC will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Post-Produced Images meet the technical specifications agreed upon by both parties. However, you acknowledge and agree that differences in color, brightness, and other visual characteristics may occur due to variations in display devices, environment, lighting, perception, and other factors beyond the control of Studio ZANYC.
​
4.4 Watermarks; Intermediates and Post-Produced Images may or may not have watermarks, metadata, or similar markings. You are not permitted to alter or remove any notice of copyright or other markings or metadata displayed or contained in connection with the Intermediates.
​
4.5 Final Images; Once the Post-Production process is complete, Studio ZANYC will present you with the Post-Produced Images for your review and approval. You may request reasonable changes to the Post-Produced Images, provided that such changes are within the scope of the original Work Order and do not require significant additional work beyond the scope of the initial agreement. Studio ZANYC will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your change requests, but it may not be able to fulfill all requests or meet all desired outcomes. Revisions must be requested within 10 business days from the delivery of the Post-Produced Images.
​
Upon your final approval of the Post-Produced Images, Studio ZANYC will consider the Work Order complete, and you will have a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, and worldwide license to use, reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works of (including translating, altering, and modifying), and distribute the Final Images in accordance with these Terms.
​
4.6 Talent Services; Additional talent services such as hair and makeup, styling, personal shopping, and other related services ("Talent Services") may be requested for a Shoot. Studio ZANYC will arrange for the Talent Services that you have chosen and will handle payment on behalf of the client. Studio ZANYC will bill for Talent Services as expenses, including a cost-plus 20% markup.
​
4.7 Sourcing; Clients may request that Studio ZANYC purchase supporting garments ("Supporting Garments") such as sneakers, belts, socks, hats, t-shirts, or other simple apparel items that are necessary for the shoot, but are not related to the principal products being provided by the client for the Shoot. Studio ZANYC will make these purchases on behalf of the client and will bill for them as expenses, including a cost-plus 20% markup on the cost of the Sourced products. These Sourced products will be returned to the client within 30 days of the completion of the Shoot, provided that the client has requested shipping and agreed to pay all related expenses, including but not limited to shipping and handling costs. If the client has not made shipping arrangements or paid related expenses within 30 days, Studio ZANYC may donate or dispose of the Sourced products at its discretion. Sourced products are non-refundable.
​
5. Model Agreements
If you are using the Services to create Final Images that includes models, you acknowledge that such models may be subject to separate agreements with Studio ZANYC or their agencies (the "Model Agreements"). Model Agreements may include restrictions on the use, distribution, or publication of the FInal Images that features the models, and may require additional permissions or releases from the models themselves. You agree to comply with any Model Agreements related to the FInal Images you use or license, and acknowledge that any such agreements supersede any license granted herein to the extent they conflict.
​
6. Payment
​
Payment for services provided by Studio ZANYC is due before a shoot is booked and a date for the shoot is agreed upon between all parties, including the Client, Studio ZANYC, all models and talent. The total cost of the services will be defined in the work order. Payment for talent and sourcing is due prior to the delivery of the Final Images.
