Suitability:
The Company strongly advises that the location is visited by a representative of the hirer prior to the shoot taking place to establish first hand the suitability and availability of the location.

Fees:
As your Agent Locality will negotiate location hire fees on your behalf. The Owner should not discuss fees directly with the Client.
Locality will endeavour to obtain the highest rates for the use of your Premises with careful consideration to the following: the client’s budget; the length of time on site; the type of action proposed; how many members of crew are to be present; how much inconvenience may be caused.
Locality works on commission that is paid by the Production. Commission is added on to all location hire and overtime fees agreed with the owner (and emailed to them at the time of the enquiry). Locality’s commission is variable please ask for current rate.
You will be paid on the first day of access or when the Client pays us whichever comes first. The Owner has no obligation to provide the Client with access to the Premises until the Location Hire Fee and Security Deposit have been paid in full to the Agent and cleared in the Agents bank account.
Locality will invoice the Client directly.
Locality is VAT registered. If you are VAT registered you must provide Locality with a VAT invoice before we pay you. If you are not VAT registered, we simply send you a remittance.
Overtime fees will be discussed with you and stated within the Location Hire Agreement.
Payment:
Any administration fees, location hire fees and if necessary, damage deposits are payable to the Company strictly in advance of the shoot in the form of cash, cheque (made payable to "Locality Limited"), BACS or CHAPS payments.
Payment will only be deemed to have been received by the Company when it has cleared into the Company's bank account.
Failure to pay the fees in full in advance of the shoot may result in access to the location being prohibited.
Premises Hire Agreement
Once a location has been booked, the Locality will draw up a Premise Hire Agreement will set out, amongst other things, the rights and obligations surrounding the use of the location, the images taken and the rights of the Agent, the location owner and the hirer.
Any person signing the Premise Hire Agreement must be validly authorised to do so and anyone knowingly misrepresenting themselves to be so authorised will be liable for any damage or loss suffered by the Company and/or the location owner.
Public Liability Insurance
To hire any of the Premises on Locality’s database you must provide proof of valid Public Liability Insurance of a minimum of £5,000,000 although some of our location do ask for a minimum of £10,000,000.
The Public Liability Insurance cover must be in the same name as the Company on the Premise Hire Agreement
Failure to provide proof of valid Public Liability Insurance and/or failure to sign and deliver the Hire Agreement in advance of the shoot will result in access to the location being prohibited.
Booking a location:
Availability and suitability of any given location appearing on Locality’s Location library can only be confirmed upon entering in to the Premises Hire Agreement.
If the hirer is put in contact with an owner via Locality but chooses to negotiate directly with the owner Locality will still charge you and administration fee.
Locations provided to us by Owners will be subject to commission charges on bookings arising out of any introduction through the Agent; such charges are applicable whether or not the booking is finalised through the Agent, and apply equally to repeat bookings.
Cancellation Fees:
Once a Hire Agreement has been signed the hirer will be liable for 100% of the location library fees and Premises hire fees if the hirer then cancels the shoot. If a cancellation is made more than 48 hours prior to the shoot commencing the Company will endeavour (but cannot guarantee) to reduce this liability to 50%.of the location library fees and location hire fees.
