Terms of Engagement
Last updated: September 2026
1. Booking & deposit
A shoot date is only confirmed upon receipt of a signed quote and a 30% deposit. Dates are held on a first-deposit basis.
2. Cancellation
Cancellations made more than 28 days before the shoot date forfeit the deposit. Cancellations within 28 days are charged at 50% of the agreed fee. Cancellations within 7 days are charged at 100%.
3. Weather & force majeure
If conditions are unsafe to fly (wind, rain, restricted airspace activation), the shoot will be rescheduled at no additional cost. The pilot has final discretion on whether conditions meet safety standards.
4. Deliverables & turnaround
Agreed deliverables and turnaround times are specified in the project quote. Delivery is made via private download link. The client has 14 days to request revisions; files are retained for 60 days post-delivery.
5. Intellectual property
Aerial Aura retains copyright in all footage. Upon final payment the client receives a non-exclusive licence to use the delivered edits for the agreed purpose (personal, listing, campaign, etc.). Re-editing raw footage or sub-licensing requires prior written agreement.
6. Portfolio use
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Aerial Aura may use delivered work in its portfolio, website, and social channels. Clients who require confidentiality must request this before the shoot date.
7. Liability
The pilot carries full UAV third-party liability insurance. Aerial Aura's liability is limited to the value of the agreed project fee. We are not liable for consequential losses (missed listing deadlines, etc.).
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by Swiss law. Any disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the canton where the operator is registered.
