Terms of Service

Mr Camera Crew is a marketplace that connects production clients with independent film and photography crew — DPs, photographers, directors, producers, gaffers, and 1st ADs. We help clients discover crew, check availability, exchange messages, and confirm a booking.

Mr Camera handles the booking logistics and invoices the client for its own booking fee. It does not collect, hold, or pay out the crew’s fee — clients pay their crew directly, on the crew’s own invoice and terms.

We facilitate those connections — we are not the crew. The agreement to perform creative work for any shoot, and to pay for it, is between the client and the crew they book. Except for our own booking services, Mr Camera is not a party to that agreement.

You need an account to book crew or to list yourself as crew. You agree to give accurate information, to keep your sign-in credentials (password or passkey) secure, and that you’re responsible for activity under your account. Accounts are for people 18 or older using the service for business purposes. Tell us at dan@mrcamera.tv if you suspect unauthorized use.

• Clients post projects, review crew, send inquiries, and confirm bookings.
• Crew maintain a public profile, respond to inquiries with availability and quotes, and deliver the work they’re booked for.
• Mr Camera operates the marketplace and its admin tools, generates invoices, and provides support.

Rates, bio, years of experience, and portfolio links on a crew profile are self-reported by that crew member — we don’t independently verify skills, insurance, licensing, or the accuracy of anything they tell us about themselves.

A “Verified” badge means a Mr Camera admin has manually reviewed and approved that profile. It’s an approval, not a certification of skill, insurance, or licensing, and it doesn’t guarantee the accuracy of anything else on the profile. Clients should confirm anything that matters to their shoot directly with the crew member before booking.

Crew on the marketplace are independent contractors. They are not employees, agents, or partners of Mr Camera, and nothing here creates an employment or agency relationship. Crew set their own rates, control how they perform their work, and are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, licensing, and equipment. Clients are responsible for their own obligations as the party engaging the crew.

Crew are engaged by, and paid directly by, the client. Mr Camera does not employ, pay, or insure crew, and does not act as an employer, payroll agent, or paymaster for them in any respect.

Clients pay the crew’s quoted rate directly to the crew, on the crew’s own invoice and payment terms. Mr Camera separately invoices the client for its booking fee — a percentage of that quoted rate — plus standard card processing when the fee is paid by card. Crew keep 100% of the rate they quote; our fee is billed to the client, never taken from their pay. Current amounts are on the Fees page.

Payments are processed by Stripe; card details go directly to Stripe and are never stored on our servers. Invoices are due as stated on the invoice.

A booking is formed when a client confirms a crew member’s quote for a project and Mr Camera issues its booking-fee invoice for it. Until then, inquiries and quotes are not binding.

Because every shoot is different, the specific terms of a booking — dates, deliverables, and any deposit, cancellation, or reschedule terms — are set between the client and the crew and reflected on the crew’s own invoice and in the project’s messages. If a booking is cancelled or changed, the client and crew settle it between themselves on those terms. Email dan@mrcamera.tv if you need help with a booking dispute.

• Your content. Crew keep all rights to their portfolios and profile content; clients keep the rights to their briefs and uploads. You’re responsible for having the rights to whatever you post.
• A license to us. To operate the marketplace, you grant Mr Camera a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, and distribute the content you submit for the purpose of running the service — for example, showing a crew member’s public profile and portfolio to clients. This license ends when you remove the content, except for copies retained in routine backups or required by law.
• Work created on a booking. The usage and licensing terms for photos, footage, and other deliverables produced on a shoot are negotiated per project between the client and the crew, using the usage-rights fields on the platform. Mr Camera is not a party to those intellectual-property terms and takes no ownership of the work.
• Our copyright. Aside from the crew and client content described above, the design, text, graphics, and code that make up Mr Camera Crew are owned by Mr Camera Inc. (or licensed to us) and protected by copyright. Please don’t copy or reuse them without permission.
• Our marks. The Mr Camera and Mr Camera Crew names, logos, and site design are ours; please don’t use them without permission.

If you believe something on Mr Camera Crew — a portfolio image, a project attachment, or other content — infringes your copyright, tell us and we’ll look into it. Send a notice to dan@mrcamera.tv that includes:

• a description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
• the specific material you’re claiming infringes it, and where to find it (a profile handle or page URL is enough);
• your contact information — name, email, and mailing address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you’re the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

When we receive a complete notice, we’ll remove or disable access to the material in question. We may also notify the person who posted it and give them a chance to respond.

Don’t use the marketplace to:

• break the law or infringe someone else’s rights;
• post false or misleading information, or pass off someone else’s content as your own;
• harass, abuse, or spam other users;
• scrape, probe, overload, reverse-engineer, or circumvent the security controls of the service;
• upload malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts or systems.

We may remove content or limit accounts that break these rules.

Crew profiles link out to personal portfolio sites, and other pages on Mr Camera Crew may link elsewhere for convenience. Those sites belong to someone else — Mr Camera doesn’t control, endorse, or take responsibility for their content, availability, or practices. Visiting them is at your own risk, and their own terms and privacy policies apply, not ours.

The marketplace is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We don’t guarantee that any crew will be available, that a client will book, or that work will meet expectations — the client and crew are responsible for their engagement and its results. We work to keep the service running but don’t promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Mr Camera is not liable for the acts, omissions, or work product of any client or crew, or for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the Mr Camera booking fees you paid us for the booking that gave rise to the claim. Some places don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

You can stop using the marketplace and delete your account at any time from Settings — see the Privacy Policy for how deletion and data retention work. We may suspend or remove an account or content that breaks these terms, creates risk for others, or must be removed by law; when practical we’ll explain why. Obligations meant to survive termination — such as payment for a completed booking, the license needed to keep the service running, and the disclaimers above — continue afterward.

We may update these terms as the service evolves. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, make them clear. Continuing to use the marketplace after an update means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that isn’t resolved informally will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you agree to that venue. Please start by emailing dan@mrcamera.tv — most issues are faster to fix directly.
