These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the corporate website, customer portals, and professional media services provided by GrindWorks Media, LLC (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing our platform, requesting quotes, or signing a digital service agreement, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our Services.
1. Description of Corporate Services
GrindWorks Media, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a professional video production, commercial filming, digital editing, and creative media agency. Our commercial operations are hosted via our corporate website (grindworksmedia.com). We provide media services to corporate entities, commercial clients, and independent brands.
2. Client Accounts and Proposal Portals
To review project milestones, submit production briefs, or pay invoices digitally, you may be required to access a secure online portal. You agree to provide accurate, complete information. You are solely responsible for protecting your portal credentials, and you agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your billing or project dashboards.
3. Professional Service Fees and Invoicing
- Production Invoices: All pricing structures, production scopes, and milestone payment timelines are clearly defined in a signed Statement of Work (SOW) or digital proposal before work begins.
- Payment Processing via Stripe: For security and compliance, all digital credit card transactions, project deposits, and final invoicing actions are securely executed through our third-party merchant processor, Stripe. By inputting payment details, you authorize us to charge your designated corporate credit or debit card for the specific project milestone amounts agreed upon.
- Late Payments: We reserve the right to pause active filming, file editing, or delivery of final media assets if project invoices remain unpaid past their due dates.
4. Permitted and Prohibited Conduct
You agree to utilize our website and service portals exclusively for legitimate commercial inquiries and contract fulfillment. You are strictly prohibited from:
- Submitting false, fraudulent, or unauthorized payment information.
- Injecting malicious scripts, malware, or harmful code into our website contact forms or portal fields.
- Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our web hosting servers, client databases, or corporate networks.
- Misrepresenting your commercial identity or business authority when executing a legal service agreement.
5. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership
All original materials displayed on grindworksmedia.com—including text, branding, portfolio showreels, logos, and graphic layouts—are owned by or licensed to GrindWorks Media, LLC.
The specific copyright ownership, distribution licenses, and master file rights for custom videos produced for our clients are governed exclusively by the individual clauses inside each client’s signed Statement of Work, rather than these generic website terms.
6. Technical Disclaimers
Our corporate website and online client dashboards are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that our digital portals will experience 100% uninterrupted uptime or that our website will be entirely free of server lags or formatting anomalies. To the furthest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GrindWorks Media, LLC, and our team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages—including lost business revenue, filming location delays, or software download issues—arising out of or related to your use of this corporate website or our administrative project portals.
8. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GrindWorks Media, LLC, and our team from any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, or financial losses (including attorney’s fees) arising from your misuse of our website, violation of these Terms, or breach of any third-party copyrights or contract provisions.
9. Account and Access Suspension
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to our client portals or refuse future project consultations at any time, without prior notice, if we suspect payment fraud, unauthorized credential sharing, or a material breach of these Terms.
10. Governing Law
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the statutory laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal actions arising out of these Terms must be filed exclusively in the courts located within that jurisdiction.
