Each template defines a feasible production with crew, equipment, preparation, finishing and outputs. The workload is an editable estimating assumption, priced with rate card V15.0 dated 1 October 2026. Standard editing (£300), planning (£325), remote production (from £300) and photography (£600) use their explicit half-day rates. Filming, senior / on-site editing and motion-design half-days use 65% of the relevant day rate.

No minimum is taken from the printed example budgets. Priced lines are rounded to pennies, then VAT is calculated at 20%. Supplier and travel expenses are shown as allowances or to confirm. Ordinary coordination and normal finishing are included; substantial preparation appears as a separate workload allowance.

Three consolidated amendment rounds are included within the agreed scope; Ace Media corrections do not count. Additional scope and amendments are chargeable. Raw footage, editable project files and source assets are excluded unless agreed in writing. Raw-footage licences start from 50% of original filming fees, with preparation and transfer at £85/hour plus storage / delivery costs.

A tailored quote is valid for 30 days against the agreed scope. Bookings require written confirmation. Cancellation within 48 hours is 50% of the booked fee; within 24 hours, 100%, with non-refundable third-party costs payable. Unless agreed account terms apply, the final balance is due on approval before clean master files are released.

On full payment the client receives the agreed licence to use final approved deliverables; copyright remains with Ace Media unless assigned in writing. Third-party licence terms still apply. Download links last seven days; clients should retain backups. See the full rate card for complete terms.
