Promotion and Marketing Services
1. | SERVICES. Marketer hereby agrees to provide the Promotion and Marketing Services set forth in the table below. |
Background: The substance of this Agreement was presented by the Marketer’s team and decided at a meeting of the VidAngel Board convened on Thursday, January 21, 2016. Both Marketer and Client have conducted their business activities and relationships under the basic principles of this Agreement since that date. This document is retroactive to the Effective Date and memorializes and confirms our understanding, setting forth all Terms & Conditions. |
2. | For the purposes of understanding the parameters of the Agreement, the services provided by Marketer are divided into two general classifications: Creative & Production Services and Optimization & Distribution Services. |
3. | CREATIVE & PRODUCTION SERVICES: Marketer agrees to provide Creative & Production services on an open-ended and as-needed basis. When Client requests Creative & Production services, Marketer will make all reasonable efforts to deliver these services with best-in-class production values and superior execution and craft. Client is free to use other providers to create video content, and to enlist Marketer’s services on an at will basis. Any VidAngel content, produced or co-produced in reliance on or using Marketer’s services falls under the terms of this Agreement. |
Billing for Creative & Production Services: Marketer will invoice Client for all Creative & Production Services at cost. Each of Marketer’s core team members has a personal hourly, billable rate. Time spent by the core team on Client’s projects will be billed at these rates with no additional markup. All third party sub-contractor invoices will also be re-invoiced to Client without any markup, and the original invoices and supporting documentation shall be available on request. All other costs, including but not limited to: props, craft (food and catering onset), facility rentals, travel, lodging, airfare, location fees, equipment rentals, equipment purchases, storage, costuming, vehicle rentals, talent fees, talent management fees, licensing fees, digital effects, post-production finishing services, music or composition, event specific or shoot specific insurance, and a proportional share of Marketer’s annual E&O Insurance (costs spread across multiple clients) will be invoiced to Client in a timely manner during, and immediately following, the completion of the Creative and Productions Services This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of expense types, and Marketer has the right to pass along any and all other costs to Client that are directly related to the Creative & Production phase of making the video production and building the marketing campaign. |
4. | OPTIMIZATION & DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: Marketer’s business model revolves around optimizing and distributing video content produced, co-produced or otherwise created by Marketer both via organic social platforms as well as with paid adspend. Marketer’s primary work product involves “conversion videos,” meaning content videos, supporting web funnels and advertising designed to drive a purchase conversion and deliver the Client a return on investment. Once a conversion video content piece is created and delivered, Client is entitled to distribute said content by posting it on Client’s own internal website or on external video hosting platforms (such as Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo and others) to accrue organic traffic and views. Marketer does not charge additional fees for nonpaid use of the content. |
Client shall pay Marketer a percentage-based management fee for all adspend which drives traffic to content produced, co-produced or otherwise created by Marketer. The percentages and the circumstances under which they apply are set forth in the table below as part of this Order Form. |
In the event either Marketer or Client elect to sever their relationship as pertains to Creative & Production Services, Client is under contractual obligation with respect to paid advertising for the life of the video content already created under the Agreement. Should Client continue to purchase adspend for video content and conversion videos created under this Agreement, the percentage-based management fee shall continue to apply for the life of the content. |
