This agreement formulates established work practices and etiquette of the industry and by which TOROSOUND operates.
Booking Policy
Once a shoot is confirmed by both parties and dates, call times, and fees are agreed upon via e-mail, the date will be considered booked. If a shoot is booked verbally, it must be then followed up with an e-mail from the production company giving confirmation of dates/times and fees agreed upon and re-confirmed via
e-mail by TOROSOUND.
Cancellation Fees
A cancellation fee will apply at the rate of 50% of the Full Day Rate if the shoot is cancelled within 48 hours of the pre-agreed call time. A cancellation fee of 100% of the Full Day Rate will apply if the shoot is cancelled within a 24 hour period from the agreed upon call time. These cancellation times are to be measured by standard business days. A kit rental fee will still apply for all cancellations.
Force Majeur Cancellations
"Force Majeur" means superior force. Such forces could include fire, earth quakes, labor strikes, war, civil unrest, tsunamis, or hurricanes. Force Majeur Cancellations DO NOT apply to rain, potential rain, fog, heat, or other usual weather occurrences. Due to a Force Majeur, either party may cancel a shoot with out cancellation fee or without standard notice without threat of legal ramifications. However, reimbursement of any production rental equipment, travel expenses already made, etc., will still be owed by production company even in case of Force Majeur cancellation.
Standard Production Overtime
Standard production workday is 10 to 12 hours including a 1/2 hour to 1hr. meal break depending on day and rate agreed. An additional meal break is required after the 10th/12th hour. Work performed over 10/12 hours will be billed at one and one half hours of the hourly rate of a 10/12 hour workday up to the 10th/12th hour. Hour 11/13 and beyond will be billed at double-time of the hourly rate of a 10/12 hour workday. Overtime will be billed in 1⁄4 hour increments.
Travel Policies
The Full Date Rate will always be implemented during a shoot when TOROSOUND is on an out-of town shoot requiring an overnight stay. This rate will apply whether the shoot takes 1 hour or 9 hours. The full day rate will also apply on any day when a shoot was planned, but then is cancelled for any reason once TOROSOUND has arrived at travel destination and is prepared to work. If advance of shoot travel days are required that do not include production work of any kind on such day, but include travel only, a “travel day” rate will apply which is typically a one-half day rate if travel time is less than 5 hours. For travel time of more than 5 hours requiring an overnight stay, a full day rate will then apply unless otherwise negotiated in writing in advance of shoot. When out-of –town, Standard Production Workday rate ends when contractor has completed all work per day required for shoot, including packing/storing or transporting equipment portal-to-portal.
