Every Central Line Productions Inc. engagement is subject to the following terms. These terms also apply to freelance crew assignments accepted by Chris Dougherty.
BOOKING
You may request a non-binding hold on any date that is available. A hold grants you the right of first refusal in the event of another offer, at which point you may confirm the date or release the hold. Confirming a production date commits you to the following terms and conditions, including potential cancellation fees.
CANCELLATIONS
If you cancel a confirmed date within 24 hours of the call time, you will pay all projected fees in full. If you cancel within 48 hours of the call time, two-thirds is due, and if you cancel within 72 hours, one-third is due. Cancellations beyond 72 hours may be re-booked without penalty.
SCOPE OF WORK
Although a scope of work document may be provided to you, it is not a condition of any engagement. The scope of work and services or materials we provide may change during the course of our work with you. You or your assigns may change the scope of work at any time, verbally or in writing. Your use of services or materials outside the scope of work constitutes your acceptance and purchase of those services or materials.
PAYMENT OF INVOICES
Invoices must be paid in full and upon receipt, unless stated otherwise. 30 days after the invoice date, and every 30 days thereafter, a 3% finance charge will be applied to all unpaid balances.
UP-FRONT DEPOSITS
Out-of-state or first-time clients may be required to pay a credit card deposit at the time of booking. Political clients are required to pay 100% of projected fees in advance.
PRODUCTION DAYS
A production day is 10 hours from port to port, including a lunch break. Lunch breaks are 30 minutes if they’re catered on location, or one hour if a “walk-away” lunch is required. A half-day is up to 5 hours port-to-port. Production equipment is billed by the full day only.
OVERTIME & SPECIAL RATES
1.5 times the prevailing hourly rate applies 1) to the first 4 hours of production overtime, 2) to production or travel booked by the hour (two-hour minimum), 3) to jobs with a call time after 2PM or before 4AM, and 4) to any work inside a 10-hour turnaround between production days. Double the prevailing hourly rate applies to overtime hours 4-8, and triple time applies to overtime beyond 8 hours.
TRAVEL
Travel days are billed at two-thirds of the prevailing day rate. Travel & work on the same day requires the full day rate and is subject to overtime. You will pay all airfare, ground transportation, and lodging fees, including airline baggage fees. Mileage will be billed at the current IRS business rate.
PER-DIEMS
Per-diems are billed per meal, per travel day ($25 each for breakfast and lunch, $50 for dinner).

Central Line Productions Inc. retains all rights and title to all raw footage and media produced by Central Line Productions Inc. Raw footage may be licensed for buyout at a fee determined by Central Line Productions.
HOLD HARMLESS
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Central Line Productions Inc. against any and all claims, costs and expenses, including all legal fees, due to actions by you or your client, information provided by you or your client, or the use of materials requested by you or your client which exceed the uses allowed pursuant to a license, permission or release.
