Legal & compliance

Getting video rights right under UK law

Video projects fail commercially when usage is vague. A UK videography agreement should separate the production fee from the licence fee, so paid media, broadcast or extended territory use can be charged properly rather than assumed.

Signatures captured on SigningVault are Simple Electronic Signatures under the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the UK eIDAS Regulation. Every signature is stored with the signer's name, email, IP address and a UTC timestamp in a tamper-evident audit trail, so the agreement stands up if it is ever challenged.

  • Legally binding in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
  • Tamper-evident audit trail with IP address and UTC timestamp
  • Signed PDF and certificate of completion for both parties
  • Fully editable — change any clause before you send it

FAQ

Common questions

Should I hand over raw footage?+

Only if you have agreed it and priced it. The template includes a raw footage clause so rushes are retained by default and released only for an agreed additional fee.

Who is responsible for music licensing?+

The contract states this explicitly. Most UK producers licence sync-cleared library music and pass the cost through, which the template supports.

How many revision rounds should I include?+

Two rounds is the UK market norm for brand content. The template sets included rounds and an hourly or day rate for anything beyond.

Is a deposit enforceable?+

Yes, when it reflects work reserved and costs incurred. The template describes it as a booking fee rather than a penalty.
