What kinds of services does Northstar Motion Studio offer?

Northstar Motion Studio focuses on digital production work such as video production, motion design, branded content, and design support. The team typically helps shape ideas from concept through to final delivery, so the service can cover planning, visual development, production, and post-production depending on the project.

What is usually included in a project scope with Northstar Motion Studio?

A project scope generally includes a clear brief, creative direction, production planning, the agreed deliverables, and the revisions covered before final handover. Depending on the brief, this can also include scripting, filming, editing, animation, design assets, and export files formatted for web, social, or other digital channels.

How do you usually price a video or digital production project?

Pricing is typically based on the scope, the amount of planning and production needed, and the level of editing or design involved. A shorter social video with a simple setup will usually cost less than a campaign that includes script support, filming, motion graphics, and multiple deliverables.

What can change the final quote for a project?

The final fee can change depending on factors like project length, number of shoot days, location requirements, revision rounds, and whether extra design, animation, or content formatting is needed. If you already have a clear brief and assets ready, that can help keep the quote more focused and practical.

How can I contact Northstar Motion Studio, and what information should I include in my first message?

You can get in touch by email or through the contact form on the website. It helps to share a short outline of your project, the type of digital, video, design, or content support you need, and your preferred timeline so the team can respond more efficiently.

The precise scope, deliverables, timelines, formats, usage rights, revision rounds, and any third-party materials will be defined in the applicable project brief, quotation, statement of work, or written confirmation.

We reserve the right to determine creative, technical, and production methods, provided such methods are reasonably aligned with the agreed project objectives.

3. User Obligations and Responsibilities

You agree to:

provide accurate, complete, and timely information, materials, approvals, and feedback;
ensure that any content, assets, instructions, logos, footage, music, voiceovers, trademarks, data, or other materials supplied by you are lawful, accurate, and do not infringe any third-party rights;

co-operate with reasonable requests necessary for us to perform the services;

Unless otherwise stated in writing:

all fees are quoted in pounds sterling (GBP);
quotes are valid for the period stated in the quotation or, if no period is stated, for 30 days from issue;
a deposit or upfront payment may be required before work commences;
invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice, or if no period is stated, within 14 days of issue;

we may pause or suspend work if payment is overdue or if required information and approvals are not provided.

Late payments may accrue interest at the statutory rate permitted by applicable law, or such other rate as may be specified in a signed agreement, together with reasonable recovery costs. Title to any deliverables may remain with Northstar Motion Studio Ltd until all outstanding sums have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees are non-transferable and all amounts paid are non-refundable except where required under these Terms or by applicable law.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may request cancellation of a project by giving written notice to Northstar Motion Studio Ltd. Cancellation does not release you from liability for work already performed, costs already incurred, or commitments made on your behalf.

If a project is cancelled, you will be responsible for:

all work completed up to the date of cancellation;
all approved or ordered third-party costs, licences, stock assets, contractors, and production expenses;
any non-cancellable commitments or reservation fees; and
where applicable, a reasonable cancellation fee reflecting loss of scheduled capacity and administrative time.

Refunds, if any, will be assessed case by case and are limited to amounts already paid for work not yet commenced, less any non-recoverable costs and applicable cancellation charges. No refund will be due for completed work, approved drafts, or delivered materials, except where required by mandatory law or expressly agreed in writing.

If a project is delayed, paused, or abandoned due to your failure to provide required materials, feedback, or approvals, we may treat the project as cancelled after giving reasonable notice, and the above cancellation terms will apply.

6. Liability Limitations

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Subject to the above, Northstar Motion Studio Ltd shall not be liable for:

indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses;
loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, or data;
losses arising from your failure to obtain permissions, approvals, or clearances;
third-party claims arising from materials supplied by you or from modifications made by third parties;
losses caused by inaccurate, incomplete, or late information supplied by you; or
use of deliverables contrary to our instructions or agreed usage rights.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any project, whether in contract, tort, negligence, misrepresentation, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total fees paid by you to Northstar Motion Studio Ltd for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the 3 months preceding the event first giving rise to liability, or such other amount as may be stated in a signed agreement.

We do not warrant that deliverables will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet every possible subjective expectation. You acknowledge that creative services involve subjective judgment and that minor variations between drafts, previews, and final outputs may occur.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

all pre-existing intellectual property, including tools, workflows, templates, processes, know-how, software, scripts, project files, methodologies, and design systems used or developed by Northstar Motion Studio Ltd remain our property or that of our licensors;

we may retain ownership or licence rights in underlying elements, unused concepts, drafts, and rejected proposals;
third-party assets, stock media, fonts, music, or software may be subject to separate licence terms, which you agree to comply with.

Unless you object in writing, you grant Northstar Motion Studio Ltd a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use your name, logo, and the final deliverables solely for the purpose of portfolio display, case studies, social media, presentations, and marketing materials, provided such use does not disclose confidential information. If confidentiality restrictions apply, they must be agreed in writing.

We will use personal data only as necessary to provide services, manage client relationships, process payments, communicate with you, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations.

You acknowledge that in the course of delivering services we may receive personal data contained in scripts, footage, images, voice recordings, contact details, analytics, or other project materials. Where required, the parties shall cooperate to determine their respective roles as controller, processor, or equivalent under applicable law, and to enter into any appropriate data processing agreement.

You warrant that you have all necessary notices, consents, and lawful bases to supply personal data to us and to permit us to process it for the purposes of performing the services.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, but no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Force Majeure

Northstar Motion Studio Ltd shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, epidemic, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, power failures, internet outages, equipment failure, governmental action, or the failure of suppliers or contractors.

If a force majeure event occurs, the affected obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event. If the event continues for a prolonged period and materially affects the project, either party may terminate the affected services by written notice, and you will remain liable for work performed and costs incurred up to the date of termination.

10. Changes to Terms

Northstar Motion Studio Ltd may update or revise these Terms from time to time. Any changes will take effect upon posting on our website or upon notice to you, unless a different effective date is stated.
