Client Agreement

1. Services.

We will provide our services in digitizing photographic, film or video content provided by you (“Your Content”), and other services you may request, as detailed on the Order Sheet (the “Services”), and delivering the results of the Services (the “Deliverables”). If we determine that we cannot perform some or all of the Services for any reason, including due to the fragile or poor condition of Your Content, we will refund any Service Fees (as defined below) you have already paid. We will endeavor to deliver the Deliverables by the target delivery time stated on the Order Sheet or as you and we might otherwise agree, but we do not guarantee that the target delivery time will be met.

2. Your Content.

Solely that we may provide the Services and deliver the Deliverables, you hereby grant to us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to copy and make derivative works of Your Content. You retain all rights, including copyright, in Your Content. We will not use Your Content for marketing purposes without your express written permission. Use of Your Content will be solely to perform the Services of this contract and we will not share Your Content with any outside parties at any time for any reason. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content to us and to grant us this license, and that our provision of the Services will not violate the rights, including copyrights, of any third party. SCAN5 reserves the right to reference names or logos of clients in marketing if they are institutions.

3. Service Fees.

You agree to pay the fees for the Services as set forth on the estimate and/or invoice. The Service Fees may be subject to increase or decrease if you request additional services, we determine that Your Content type and/or size is different than initially estimated, or if the actual shipping/delivery charges are higher than estimated. We will notify you of any significant Service Fee increase. If you do not agree to the increased Service Fees, you may terminate this Agreement and we will return Your Content and refund any Service Fees already paid. SCAN5 reserves the right to charge additional fees when clients do not complete any of the following: complete the consultation after we receive your items by mail or courier, pay required deposits or remaining balances, and pick-up completed orders. Please note that your credit card will be kept on file and your final balance will be charged upon completion. No sales tax is applied to services. A 3% fee applies to credit card payments. If you do not approve your project estimate and pay your deposit within 10 business days of initial drop off/delivery, or do not pick up your project within 10 business days of being notified of completion, we may ship your contents back to you without permission and charge you related shipping and handling fees. If your items are too large, numerous and/or heavy to be reasonably shipped, we reserve the right to move your items to our off-site storage unit and charge monthly storage fees based on the size of your items. You can contact us directly to schedule a time for you or a courier to collect your items from our storage unit located at 2757 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60614. If you do not collect your items from our storage unit and we are unable to bill your credit card on file and you do not respond to our request for new payment details, we may dispose of your items at our discretion.

4. Shipping.

We will not be liable for, and do not warranty or guarantee against, the misdirection, loss, or theft of, or damage to, Your Content or the Deliverables, or any other materials, while they are in transit through or in possession or under the control of any third party carrier in connection with shipment by you to us or by us to you. Due to the nature of Your Content, insurance is unavailable for the shipping or handling of your order. You have the option to pick up your Deliverables directly from us upon completion. If you fail to pick up your Deliverables within 10 days of our notice to you that they are complete, we may ship your items back to you without your permission. On your request, we will ship your Deliverables to the address you provide by the carrier of our choosing and at your expense.

We do not assume such risk of loss of or damage to Your Content, if, after receiving Your Content from any third party carrier, we discover that any or all of Your Content is damaged or lost. If Your Content is lost or damaged while it is in our sole custody and control, your sole and complete remedy for any such loss or damage is our payment to you in the amount of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000) (the “Safe Handling Guarantee”).

6. Limited Warranty.

We make no warranty or guarantee with respect to the quality of the Deliverables.
