"Customer Element" means any material delivered to the Company and received from or produced by a third party for a Customer with respect to which services are performed or goods are sold by the Company or from which the Company obtains information in connection with the performance of services or sale of goods to Customer and "Customer Elements" means two or more such materials. "Customer" means the owner(s) or the duly authorized agent or licensee of the owner(s) or a person who has the right to possession and use of the Elements delivered to the Company. 2.

Furthermore, the Company shall not be liable to anyone for lost profits or special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from any defective products or equipment delivered, produced or provided by the Company. 3. Responsibility of Company and liability limitationsCustomer acknowledges that the Company is not an insurer and that payments made for the services provided by the Company are based solely on the value of such services and not on the value of the Customer Elements. Since the Company's prices for services are not proportionate to the value of the Customer Elements delivered to or deposited with it, the Customer Elements are received, processed and stored solely at the risk of Customer. The Company reserves the right to assign or subcontract all or any part of the work required to be done by the Company. If the Customer Elements are lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged by reason of the negligence of the Company, its employees, subcontractors or agents, the Company Liability in respect of such loss, theft, destruction or damage shall be limited to the replacement value of the raw materials. If an Element produced by the Company is defective or is erroneously labeled or shipped or if non-conforming services or materials are furnished by the Company, the Company Liability shall be limited to the replacement or repair of such defective Customer Elements, the correction of such errors in shipment or labeling or the provision of conforming services or materials at the Company's expense; provided that the defective Element as returned and written notice of such imperfection or error in labeling or shipment is given the Company within twenty days after shipment. 4. Delay in deliveryDelivery dates and/or shipping dates are approximate. The Company shall not be liable to Customer or any other person for any losses, damage (incidental or consequential), liability or delay in delivery or shipping, nor for failure to give notice or delay and such delay shall not constitute grounds for cancellation. 5. Cancellation charges and quotationsThe Company reserves the right to bill at 50% of book rate any scheduled session which has been canceled by Customer with less than 24 hours notice. Any scheduled time which has been canceled but is subsequently resold by the Company at 100% of book rate will not be charged to Customer, but Customer will be liable for the shortfall. Written quotations submitted by the Company are valid and binding for a period of thirty days from the date of submission. Quotations made orally are considered to be an approximation of charges only and will not be deemed to bind the Company to the amount quoted. All prices and rates are subject to change without prior notice. 6. Terms of paymentAll work is accepted on a COD basis unless credit arrangements have been agreed to in advance by the Company. If a Customer credit account has been established and agreed to by the Company, then Customer agrees to pay the Company for all services performed and invoiced to Customer within thirty days of invoice date. Customer agrees to comply with credit terms extended by the Company. Unless Customer and Company have otherwise agreed in writing, Customer agrees to pay interest at the rate of 24% per annum on all accounts which are not paid when due. Customer agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including legal fees incurred by the Company, in connection with the enforcement of the Company's rights hereunder. Any claim for adjustment in connection with an invoice must be presented to the Company in writing within thirty days from the date of invoice in question. Customer understands that the Company's charges as shown on its standard price list are based upon the use and operation of equipment and the employment of personnel during normal working hours. If, at Customer's request or by its consent, overtime or premium time work is undertaken with respect to Customer Elements, Customer agrees to pay the Company, without demand therefore, the additional expense thereof. 7. LiensIn addition to any other liens or remedies given to the Company under applicable law or elsewhere in these conditions, the Company shall have a security interest in and lien on any or all Customer Elements in the possession of the Company as security for payment of any and all services and materials furnished by the Company to Customer. To the extent permitted by law, the parties agree that if the Customer Elements are voluntarily restored or delivered to Customer or some third person before payment to the Company for such materials and services, the lien and security interest therein shall not be extinguished but shall survive. Customer hereby grants to the Company the rights of a secured creditor with respect to its security interest in the Customer Elements and upon request by the Company will execute such documents, including a Financial Statement, as may be required to protect and perfect such a security interest. 8. InsuranceCustomer agrees to fully insure all Customer Elements delivered or to be deposited with the Company against all insurable risks, including damage to or destruction of such Customer Elements by the negligence of the Company or its employees, agents or subcontractors. Customer agrees that such insurance shall insure against any and all losses (including incidental and consequential losses) for which insurance is available, and that the policy of insurance shall provide that the insurer waives all claims of subrogation against the Company, its employees and subcontractors. Company shall in no event be liable for any loss or damage which was, or could have been, covered by insurance but for the failure by Customer to obtain and pay for such insurance as obligated hereunder. 9. Right to refuse performanceThe Company may refuse to produce, film, transfer, dub, or process at no cost to the Customer any Customer Elements which the Company in its sole discretion (whether or not acting reasonably) deems unlawful, pornographic or degrading or which it deems as tending to incite prejudice or passion. If the Company determines, in its sole judgment, that the performance of any service for Customer by the Company could subject it or its parent or affiliates, or officers or directors of any of them, to criminal or civil claims or process or to any liability whatsoever, the Company may cease such service and any other service relating in any way thereto and retain in its possession any Customer Elements until paid in full for the work performed, whether or not incomplete. 10. Ownership of Customer Elements and indemnificationCustomer warrants that it is the sole owner and/or has the right to possession and use of all Customer Elements delivered to the Company by Customer or for Customer's account for storage, development, printing, dubbing, transferring or processing of any kind; that Customer is now and at all times during the term of this Agreement will be the sole owner and/or sole proprietor of all rights to possession and use of the Customer Elements, including without limitation of the copyright therein, the music, television, motion picture, video cassette, literary, paperback, book and dramatic rights. As long as Customer is indebted to the Company, Customer agrees not to pledge, mortgage, assign or otherwise encumber the Customer Elements or rights without the prior written consent of the Company. No filming, processing, dubbing or other work which is to be billed to a third party will be accepted by the Company without the prior written instructions from that third party. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from all Company Liability arising out of or in connection with the publication, processing, use, distribution, contents or exhibition of Customer Elements delivered to the Company, including, without limitation, any Company Liability for libel, slander, defamation, invasion of privacy or infringement of patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right. Upon written request from the Company, Customer agrees at Customer's sole expense promptly to defend any claim, demand, action or proceeding to which the Company may be a party which involves or is based in whole or in part on any Company Liability from which Customer has agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless. 12. Storage and removal of leftover Customer ElementsCustomer agrees to remove from the Company's premises all Customer Elements within ninety days after the last work performed thereon by the Company.

At Customer's request, the Company will store Customer Elements during the time of production and release printing or dubbing and for a reasonable period thereafter, not to exceed six months, at a nominal charge. The Company may store such Customer Elements at any place or places that the Company deems fit. Within thirty days after written notice from the Company, Customer agrees to remove, at Customer's sole expense, all Customer Elements in storage. If Customer fails to remove such Customer Elements, the Company may destroy or otherwise dispose of such Customer Elements at no cost to Customer or any other person. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all Company Liability arising out of or connected with the Company's destruction or disposition of said Customer Elements as provided herein. 13.

In the absence of the receipt of written instructions from Customer, Company will make all shipments of Customer Elements via same method as received. In the absence of receipt of written instructions from Customer and where method of shipment by which Customer Elements were received by the Company is inappropriate and/or unavailable to the Company, the Company will choose a method of shipment which is reasonable and of a standard appropriate in the industry. If the Customer Elements are damaged, lost, delayed or destroyed as a result of negligence on the part of the Company's involvement in the method of shipment of Customer Elements, Customer agrees that any liability will be limited to the replacement value of the raw materials. Customer agrees that where obligated for shipping, the amount of insurance required to be purchased by the Company need be no more than the replacement value of the raw materials. 14.
