ACCEPTING ORDERS

ORDERS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.

A Request for Service via our Online Ordering System, Brochures, or Promotional Offers are not automatically approved, and IS NOT A GUARANTEE of price or availability. All Requests for Service (i.e., online orders) must be manually reviewed, and may only be accepted by our personnel. Once a Request for Service has been approved, we will issue an invoice accordingly, and accept your order ONLY upon 50% of the full quoted amount.

REFUSING ORDERS.

We reserve the right to deny any "Request for Service" made through our Online Ordering System, Brochure, or Promotional Offers for any reason. Due to market conditions, namely supply and demand constraints on the availability of our service, we may waitlist your order according to our official waitlist policy.

PRICE ESTIMATIONS.

DrakeWise Productions, LLC provide pricing estimates for the convenience of their customers. However, due to the complexity of video production, pricing estimates provided may not reflect the appropriate or relevant pricing for your specific project. Therefore, you acknowledge, that based on any number of variables, that pricing listed on our website, brochures, promotions, or past quotes are, at best, approximations — and that ESTIMATE PRICING SHOULD BE NOT BE CONSIDERED A QUOTE, OR A GUARANTEE.

PRICING ERRORS. COMPUTING ERRORS.

While DrakeWise Productions, LLC strives to offer accurate pricing, you acknowledge that both computer and human errors occur in computation, and static display of pricing. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY REQUESTS DUE TO PRICING ERRORS. Only a real person, representing DrakeWise Productions, LLC, can offer binding quotes and estimates.

GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATIONS.

DrakeWise Productions, LLC are Delaware, Virginia, and Colorado based video production companies. Generally, we accept orders anywhere in the United States and abroad. However, we reserve the right to reject any order for a geographic area that would be too cumbersome, difficult, unsafe or unprofitable to serve. 

 

PAYMENT POLICIES

RESERVATIONS.

Availability is on a "first come, first served" basis, and should never be assumed otherwise. No reservations or promises are made unless an order (invoice) has been paid in full. Due to market conditions, namely supply and demand constraints on the availability of our service, we may be constrained to waitlist orders.

NON PAYMENT. PARTIAL PAYMENT.

For a service order to be accepted, i.e., "Reserved", by our system, 50% of the service must be made upfront.

Orders not paid 100% in full prior to production service will not be fulfilled, but may still be subject to payment outlined by our cancellation policy.

PAYMENT PLANS
