The small print, in plain words

Consent, privacy & music

Privacy & data

Your footage isn't our product

Galleries are private by default and password-protectable. We never publish your footage without written permission. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Raw footage is kept for your storage window, then deleted after a final reminder; you can delete it sooner.

Music rights

Bring your own track

You choose and upload your own song, and confirm you hold the rights to use it. We cut your film to it — the rights stay yours, and Film By Us isn't liable for music you supply.

A commercial song you love isn't automatically cleared just because it was played at the wedding, and platforms like Instagram may mute it. No song? Your film is delivered silent and you can add one and re-render any time.

Refunds

Money back until it's used

Your pass is fully refundable, no questions asked, until your event has actually been used — that's the earliest of your guests uploading more than 500 MB of footage, you starting a film edit, or us delivering a film. Before any of that, you get everything back.

After your event is used, it's non-refundable — but if something goes wrong on our end, we'll make it right. See the full refund policy for the detail.
