TERMS & CONDITIONS
First Light Cinema Advertising Package
1. Service
Illumin8 Productions ("we/us") will produce and screen a 6-second cinemascope split-screen cinema advertisement at BIGSCREEN Cinemas Hervey Bay, playing across all screens at every session for the duration of the campaign term.
2. Minimum Term
The minimum commitment is 6 months (six consecutive 4-week billing blocks). The campaign period runs Thursday to Wednesday each block.
3. Pricing & Payment
The weekly rate is $99 inc. GST, billed at $396 per 4-week block. Alternatively, the full 6-month term may be paid upfront at $2,376 inc. GST.
Invoices are issued at the start of each 4-week block and payable within 7 days. If the upfront option is selected, payment is due prior to campaign commencement.
4. Production
Production of the 6-second commercial is included at no additional cost for the 6-month term. The client must supply brand assets (logo, contact details, any preferred imagery) within 7 days of signing.
We retain creative control over the final edit to ensure cinema broadcast standards are met. One round of revisions is included. Additional revisions may incur fees at our standard editing rate.
5. Content & Approval
All advertising content must comply with Australian advertising standards (AANA Code of Ethics). We reserve the right to decline content that is misleading, offensive, or not suitable for a general cinema audience. BIGSCREEN Cinemas Hervey Bay reserves the right to refuse or remove any advertisement at its discretion.
6. Campaign Start Date
Campaigns commence on the next available Thursday following receipt of signed agreement, payment (or first block payment), and completed brand assets.
7. Early Termination
If the client terminates before the 6-month minimum term is fulfilled, the remaining balance of the term becomes immediately payable. If the upfront payment was made and termination is requested, no refund applies for the remaining period.
8. Intellectual Property
The finished commercial remains the intellectual property of Illumin8 Productions until the full 6-month term is completed, at which point a perpetual, non-exclusive licence is granted to the client for use across digital, social, and broadcast platforms. The client warrants they have the right to use all brand assets, logos, and imagery supplied.
9. Suspension & Interruption
In the event of cinema closure (maintenance, emergency, or otherwise), campaign periods will be extended by the equivalent number of days lost. We are not liable for screening interruptions beyond our control.
10. Variations
The advertised rate is locked for the duration of the client's committed term. No rate increases will apply mid-term. Upon completion of the minimum term, if the client continues on rolling 4-week blocks, rates may be adjusted with at least 30 days' written notice prior to the next billing block.
The client may request changes to their advertisement creative during the term. Ad copy changes and re-edits are available at our standard editing rate ($185–$220/hr + GST) and subject to production scheduling.
11. Liability
Our liability is limited to the fees paid for the current billing block. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the campaign.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
