Last updated: February 2026
1. Scope of Application (B2B)
These Terms & Conditions apply to all contracts between Savoy Film Productions GbR (“Contractor”) and its clients.
Services are provided exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB. Contracts with consumers are excluded.
Conflicting terms of the client shall not apply unless expressly agreed in writing.
2. Scope of Services
The Contractor provides services in the field of video and film production, including pre-production, production and post-production.
The specific scope of services is defined exclusively in the respective offer or agreement.
3. Conclusion of Contract
A contract is concluded upon written confirmation (email sufficient), countersigning of an offer, payment of the agreed deposit, or instruction to commence services (including pre-production or planning).
Commencement of services shall be deemed full acceptance of the offer and these Terms & Conditions.
4. Payment Terms
All prices are stated net and are subject to applicable VAT.
A deposit (typically 50%) is required to confirm the booking and secure production dates, crew and resources.
The deposit is non-refundable, as it compensates for reserved production time, committed personnel, pre-production efforts and lost business opportunities.
Further payments are due as outlined in the offer.
The Contractor reserves the right to withhold delivery of final materials until full payment has been received.
5. Production Scheduling
Production dates are only binding once the deposit has been received in full.
Changes to confirmed schedules, including postponements, may result in additional costs depending on crew and supplier availability.
6. Client Responsibilities
The client shall provide all necessary materials, information, approvals and decisions in a timely manner.
Delays or additional costs resulting from insufficient cooperation shall be borne by the client.
7. Changes & Additional Services
Any changes or extensions of the agreed scope after project commencement require agreement and may be charged separately.
8. Revisions
Unless otherwise agreed, the fee includes up to 3 rounds of revisions per deliverable within the agreed post-production scope.
Additional revisions shall be billed separately.
9. Cancellation & Termination
In the event of cancellation by the client:
– All costs incurred up to the date of cancellation are payable
– Once the project is confirmed, a minimum of 50% of the total project fee remains due
The deposit remains non-refundable, as it covers preparatory work and reserved production resources.
The Contractor reserves the right to claim further proven damages exceeding this amount.
In the event of cancellation less than 48 hours before the scheduled production date, the full project fee may become payable, as production resources, crew and equipment have been fully committed and cannot be reallocated. Any costs saved will be taken into account.

Delivered services must be reviewed without undue delay.
If no written objection is received within 7 working days, the services shall be deemed accepted.
