About BIG Picture Media Group, Inc.

BIG Picture Media Group, Inc. (BPM) began operation as a media consultant and production company in Wichita Kansas in the spring of 2007 and was incorporated on July 8 of that year. It is owned and managed by Russ Jones, a native of Kansas City, Missouri and Jackie Jones, formerly from Northern California.

BPM has been a well-known media consulting organization with a special emphasis in both political and ministry circles.

The company began by providing media services to Christian organizations through an affiliate called Christian Press. The need for a dedicated entity to perform media services for politicians was determined and BPM was officially formed.

Copyright

By contracting with BPM to provide various audiovisual services, the customer agrees to hold BPM, its employees, suppliers, and contracted persons, harmless and without risk or liability in any suits, claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses regarding violation of copyright laws or any infringement of copyrights or performance rights. All productions, services and duplications are undertaken by BPM with the express understanding that the customer has legal right, either by ownership or legal permission of the copyright holder, to use the master materials. In certain instances of using clearly marked copyrighted materials, BPM may require the customer to sign a written statement certifying permission to use such materials.

Terms

NET 30 DAYS. A 1 1/2% monthly (18% APR) late fee will be added to the total balance for those accounts more than 30 days past due. Accounts more than 60 days past due must be placed on a C.O.D. basis until the account is cleared.

Credit

Payment for services is due in full at the time of completion of each day, booking, or session, unless credit has been previously arranged with our credit manager. We do not charge to individuals. Companies, foundations, agencies and corporations should obtain a copy of our CREDIT APPLICATION to establish a new account. Please remember that it normally takes 2-4 weeks to approve a new account. Credit Limits (usually $300) are set for new accounts until we are able to establish a credit history based on a billing cycle (usually 30-60 days). Our accounting personnel will discuss this with you before any production services are begun. Purchase orders or work authorization numbers are usually required by most companies before work begins. Please remember that we must follow the required procedures as established by your company’s policies for accounts payable.

Company Lien

All master materials are accepted by BPM under the express condition that BPMholds a lien against those materials for the general balance due the company from the customer. Upon full payment, title to such materials may be released to the customer subject to any conditions as may have been separately agreed upon. The customer may be held liable under applicable law for any broadcasting or other public performance of the materials before full payment has been received.

Damages and Claims

BPM shall have no liability for incidental or consequential damages arising from a breach hereof, or from BPM failure to provide services or deliver materials. Further, BPM makes no warranties, expressed or implied, of the merchantability, fitness, or suitability of any materials or services provided to a customer under these terms. Any claims relating to materials or services must be made in writing within ten days of the receipt of such materials or services. Failure of the client to make such claims within the ten day time period shall constitute acceptance by the customer of the materials and/or services, and by such failure the client shall accept the obligation of timely payment for the materials and/or services.

Limited Liability

BPM does not guarantee the safety of any materials in its possession during production or in storage, and shall not be held liable for any loss or damage of such materials regardless of the cause of such loss or damage, and liability is limited to the cost of a blank tape. Further, BPM reserves the right to return, at the customer’s expense, any or all materials held in its possession for a period of time exceeding ninety days. All customers are strongly cautioned and advised to supply Media Consultants with a DUB MASTER (Sub-Master) of all programs to be duplicated, since the duplication process can result in a certain amount of degradation and/or damage. BPM can not be held liable for aging, deterioration, fading, accidental mechanical damage, fire, floods, theft, vandalism or any natural degradation process which media materials normally undergo.
