They set out the conditions for our services, including film and video production, concept development, as well as the organisation of events and talks. We place great importance on ensuring that all information is transparent and easy to understand, creating the basis for a trusting collaboration. These Terms form an essential part of our company policy and should be read carefully. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, we are happy to assist you at any time.
1. Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions apply to all offers, services, productions, consulting services, events, formats, publications, and other services provided by Plan S Productions GmbH, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The contracting party is:
Plan S Productions GmbH
Ormisstrasse 51
8706 Meilen
Switzerland
UID: CHE-308.986.784
Commercial Register Number: CH-020.4.082.498-3
Hereinafter referred to as “Plan S Productions”, “we”, or “us”.
Any deviating terms and conditions of clients, customers, or contractual partners shall only apply if they have been confirmed in writing by Plan S Productions.
2. Offers and Conclusion of Contract
Our offers are non-binding unless expressly stated otherwise. A contract is concluded as soon as an offer, booking, order, registration, or agreement has been confirmed in writing, by email, via a form, or in another traceable manner.
Individual agreements, offers, or contracts shall take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.
3. Services of Plan S Productions
Plan S Productions provides services in particular in the areas of film, series, commercials, reportage, events, curated formats, marketing activities, communication, consulting, book and publication projects, as well as related services.
The specific scope of services is determined by the respective offer, project description, booking confirmation, event announcement, or individual agreement.
Plan S Productions is entitled to involve suitable third parties in the provision of its services, provided that this does not impair any legitimate interests of the client.
4. Duties to Cooperate
Clients, customers, and contractual partners undertake to provide all information, content, approvals, materials, and access required for the provision of services in a timely and complete manner.
Delays resulting from late or incomplete cooperation may lead to postponements, additional work, or additional costs.
The client shall ensure that any content, images, logos, texts, music, trademarks, rights, or other materials provided may be used lawfully and do not infringe any third-party rights.
5. Prices and Payment Terms
The prices stated in the respective offer, booking, or agreement shall apply. Unless otherwise specified, all prices are quoted in Swiss francs.
Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are payable within 10 days from the invoice date without deduction. For larger productions, events, or projects, Plan S Productions may request advance payments, deposits, or partial payments. The corresponding payment terms shall be set out in the offer or project agreement.
In the event of late payment, Plan S Productions is entitled to suspend further services until full payment has been received and to claim reminder fees and default interest to the extent permitted by law.
6. Dates, Deadlines and Changes
Dates and deadlines are only binding if they have been confirmed in writing.
Change requests made after conclusion of the contract shall be taken into account where possible. Any additional work, production costs, third-party costs, or schedule changes resulting from such requests may be charged additionally.
Where possible, Plan S Productions shall inform the client in good time of any relevant impact on costs, timing, or implementation.
7. Acceptance of Productions and Projects
For film, content, communication, design, consulting, or other project services, the client shall be given the opportunity to review and provide feedback, provided this has been agreed.
Corrections and adjustments are included within the agreed scope. Further change requests, additional feedback rounds, or subsequent adjustments may be charged separately.
If a work result is not reviewed or accepted within a reasonable period, it shall be deemed approved, provided that Plan S Productions has informed the client of this in advance.
8. Events, Formats and Occasions
For events, conversation formats, screenings, vernissages, business formats, or similar occasions, the respective event information, invitations, booking conditions, or ticket terms shall additionally apply.
Registrations may be binding. Where places are limited, there is no entitlement to participation. Plan S Productions may reject registrations, maintain waiting lists, or issue invitations personally.
Changes to the programme, venue, timing, guests, or schedule remain reserved, provided they are objectively justified and do not materially alter the overall character of the event.
If an event is cancelled by Plan S Productions, any participation fees already paid shall generally be refunded or, at the participant’s choice, credited towards an alternative date. Any further claims are excluded to the extent permitted by law.
In the event of non-attendance or short-notice cancellation by participants, the cancellation terms stated in the respective event announcement or booking confirmation shall apply.
9. Cancellation by Clients, Customers or Contractual Partners
Cancellations of projects, productions, consulting services, or other services must be made in writing.
Services already provided, reserved capacities, work incurred, and non-cancellable third-party costs may be invoiced.
Separate cancellation terms may be agreed for larger productions, events, or projects. Such terms shall take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.
10. Force Majeure
Plan S Productions shall not be liable for delays, failures, or impediments to performance resulting from force majeure or events beyond its reasonable control. This includes, in particular, natural events, illness, accident, official measures, technical disruptions, failures of service providers, strikes, pandemics, security risks, or comparable events.
In such cases, Plan S Productions is entitled to postpone dates, adjust services, or withdraw from the contract if performance becomes impossible or unreasonable. Services already provided and costs already incurred shall remain payable.
11. Copyrights and Usage Rights
All concepts, ideas, texts, films, images, formats, designs, dramaturgies, presentations, strategies, documents, and other work results created by Plan S Productions are protected by copyright to the extent that they are eligible for protection.
The client shall receive the usage rights expressly granted in the respective contract, offer, or project agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, such usage shall be limited to the agreed purpose, period, scope, and market.
Any editing, transfer, reproduction, publication, or commercial use outside the agreed scope is only permitted with the prior written consent of Plan S Productions.
Open working files, raw material, non-selected drafts, concepts, project files, or interim results do not form part of the agreed services unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Plan S Productions may name and present completed projects, productions, events, or work results for reference purposes, unless legitimate confidentiality interests prevent this or otherwise agreed in writing.
12. Image, Audio and Video Recordings at Events
Image, audio, and video recordings may be made at events organised by Plan S Productions. Such recordings may be used by Plan S Productions for communication, documentation, public relations, and reporting purposes, to the extent permitted by law.
Participants who do not wish to be recorded or published may notify Plan S Productions in advance or on site. Plan S Productions shall take such requests into account within reasonable limits.
Separate consent may be obtained for commercial individual portraits, interviews, or further forms of use.
13. Warranty and Defects
Plan S Productions provides its services with due care and professionalism. Any complaints must be submitted in writing within a reasonable period after becoming known.
In the event of justified defects, Plan S Productions shall first be given the opportunity to remedy them. Further claims shall only exist to the extent that they are mandatory under applicable law or have been expressly agreed.
Subjective expectations, personal taste preferences, or subsequent change requests shall not be considered defects, provided that the agreed service has been delivered.
14. Liability
Plan S Productions shall be liable for direct damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct.
Liability for slight negligence, indirect damages, consequential damages, loss of profit, data loss, reputational damage, or third-party claims is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Liability for third-party providers, platforms, locations, technical service providers, or other external partners engaged by Plan S Productions shall only exist to the extent that Plan S Productions culpably failed in their selection or instruction.
Liability for personal injury and for claims that are mandatory under applicable law remains unaffected.
15. Confidentiality
The parties undertake not to disclose confidential information, business secrets, non-public project details, concepts, budgets, strategies, or other confidential content to third parties without the consent of the other party.
This obligation shall continue to apply after the collaboration has ended.
16. Data Protection
Plan S Productions processes personal data in accordance with the applicable Privacy Policy, which is available on the website.
Personal data is processed only within the framework of applicable legal provisions and for the purposes required in each case, in particular for communication, contract processing, event organisation, service provision, and the maintenance of business relationships.
17. Links and Third-Party Providers
The Plan S Productions website may contain links to external websites or content from third-party providers. Plan S Productions assumes no responsibility for their content, offers, data protection practices, or availability.
When using platforms, payment providers, ticketing systems, video platforms, social media services, or other third-party providers, their respective terms may also apply.
18. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions
Plan S Productions may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. For existing contracts, the version accepted at the time the contract was concluded shall generally apply, unless a new version has been expressly agreed.
The current version is available on the website.
19. Severability Clause
Should any provision of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a legally permissible provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the original provision.
20. Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction
Swiss law shall apply, excluding conflict of law provisions.
The place of jurisdiction shall be, to the extent permitted by law, the registered office of Plan S Productions GmbH. Mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction, in particular for consumer contracts, remain reserved.
