These terms cover use of deliberatemedia.com and the general terms on which Deliberate Media, Inc. sells video production, video editing, paid media management, web development, and drone services. A signed proposal or statement of work controls if it conflicts with anything here.

Using the site

You may browse, book a call, and request an audit. You may not scrape the site, resell its content, attempt to access the admin, or use the forms to send anything unlawful or misleading. Published prices are current as of the date at the top of this page and can change; the price in your signed proposal is the one that applies to you.

Booking a call

Booking a call is free and does not create a contract for services. You can reschedule or cancel through the link in your confirmation. If you miss two calls without notice we may ask you to reach out by phone before booking again.

Free marketing audit

The audit is a written review of your public marketing presence: ads, site speed, Google listing, and video. It is provided as-is, at no cost, and is not a guarantee of any result. You are free to act on it with anyone.

Video production and editing

  • Day rates and hourly. Shoot days are billed at the published Local, Nearby, or Travel rate. Hourly shoots carry a 2-hour minimum. Nearby and Travel carry the minimum day counts shown on the pricing page. A one-time $250 production planning fee applies per campaign, not per day.
  • Content Retainer. Billed weekly at $229. Requests are worked one at a time, in the order received, with a target of 3 business days each. The retainer covers planned short-form pieces for social and ads; longer pieces are quoted as single edits. You may pause or cancel at any time and the change takes effect at the end of the current week.
  • Single edits. Flat rate by runtime, never hourly. A standalone piece under 30 seconds is $299; a 30 second to 2 minute brand video is typically $1,500; longer pieces are quoted before work starts. Captions, logo animation, and custom sound design are included. 2 revision rounds are included; further rounds are billed hourly.
  • Deliverables and ownership. On payment you own the finished videos and the raw footage we shot for you. We keep the right to show the work in our portfolio unless you tell us in writing not to.
  • Drone. Flights are conducted by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. Weather, airspace restrictions, or safety concerns may require rescheduling at no charge.
  • Published Light and Loaded packages are flat monthly fees for accounts up to $5,000 in monthly ad spend, billed on quarterly, semi-annual, or annual terms as selected. Accounts above $5,000 are quoted as a flat fee scoped to the account. We never charge a percentage of ad spend.
  • Ad spend is paid by you directly to Google, Meta, or the platform. It is never routed through us or marked up.
  • Setup fees cover research, account build, tracking, and creative for launch and are due before launch.
  • You own your ad accounts, pixels, and data. If we part ways, access transfers to you and nothing is held back.
  • We manage every campaign in house with our own team. We do not resell or outsource account management.

Web development

Websites are sold two ways. A subscription from $150/mo on a 12-month term, with no build fee up front, where ownership of the site transfers to you at the end of the term and maintenance continues month to month afterwards; cancelling before the term ends does not transfer ownership and the remaining months of the term are due. Or a one-time build from $2,500, where you own the code on day one with no ongoing commitment. Sites are built in Wix or fully custom depending on the requirements; the platform does not change the fee. Your domain is registered in your name in both cases.

Payment

Production and single edits are invoiced 50% to schedule and 50% on delivery unless the proposal says otherwise. Content Retainer bills weekly; paid media and hosting bill at the start of each period. Invoices are due in 15 days. Late balances accrue 1.5% per month. Work may pause on accounts more than 30 days past due.

Cancellation and rescheduling

Shoot days cancelled with fewer than 3 business days notice are billed at 50%; fewer than 24 hours, 100%. Weather and site-access cancellations are rescheduled at no charge. Content Retainer cancels at the end of the current billing week; paid media and hosting cancel at the end of the current term as described above.

Warranties and liability

We warrant that the work will be performed in a professional manner and will match the approved scope. Beyond that the work is provided as-is. We do not guarantee leads, rankings, sales, or ad performance. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the three months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

Content you provide

You confirm you have the right to use any logos, footage, photos, music, and claims you give us, and that any people appearing in footage you provide have consented. You are responsible for the accuracy of claims made in your ads and videos.

Governing law

Texas law governs, and disputes are resolved in Williamson County, Texas, unless your proposal names Connecticut, in which case Ridgefield, CT, Connecticut applies. Before filing anything, both sides agree to try a 30-day good-faith conversation first.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top changes when we do. Questions to support@deliberatemedia.com or (512) 222-8780.
