22. Quarterly Retainer Program

22.1 Retainer Fee and Discount

Clients may elect to enter into a Quarterly Retainer arrangement by paying a non-refundable retainer fee of $3,000 per quarter, payable in advance at the beginning of each calendar quarter. In exchange, the Client will receive an 11.8% discount on the standard rate for all photography, videography, drone, scanning, and related services booked during the active retainer period.

The retainer fee is separate from and in addition to individual booking fees. The discount applies only to services rendered during the quarter in which the retainer is active and paid in full. The retainer fee is not applied as a credit toward individual bookings.

22.2 Exclusivity Clause

As a condition of the Quarterly Retainer Program and its associated discount, the Client agrees to use Shoot My Rental exclusively for all photography, videography, virtual tour, drone, and related content creation services for the duration of the retainer agreement. The Client shall not engage, contract, or otherwise retain any competing service provider for the same or substantially similar services during the active retainer period.

If the Company determines, at its sole discretion, that the Client has breached this exclusivity clause, the Company reserves the right to immediately revoke the retainer discount and invoice the Client for the full standard rate on all services rendered during the current quarter, in addition to terminating the retainer arrangement without refund of the current quarter’s retainer fee.

22.3 Term and Cancellation

The Quarterly Retainer Program operates on a rolling quarterly basis and renews automatically unless cancelled in writing. Either party may cancel the retainer arrangement by providing no fewer than six (6) months’ written notice to the other party. During the notice period, all terms of the retainer, including the exclusivity clause and the discount, remain in full effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, if notice of cancellation is given mid-quarter, the retainer remains active through the end of the quarter in which the six-month notice period expires. No partial refunds of the quarterly retainer fee will be issued for any quarter in which services were rendered.

Upon expiration of the retainer arrangement following the six-month notice period, any surplus retainer funds not applied to completed bookings will be returned to the Client at a rate of 65% of the total remaining balance. This refund will be issued within 30 days of the retainer’s expiration date. For clarity, the 35% retention covers administrative, scheduling, and resource allocation costs incurred by the Company during the retainer period.

22.4 Enrollment

To enroll in the Quarterly Retainer Program, the Client must execute a separate Retainer Enrollment Form and submit payment for the first quarter’s retainer fee. The retainer discount becomes effective upon receipt of payment and countersignature by the Company.

23. Acknowledgment and Agreement

By signing below or booking online, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Client confirms that they have had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice prior to signing.
