Terms & Conditions

To confirm and reserve the service date, a deposit of 50% of the total agreed amount is required. The remaining 50% must be paid on the day of the event or upon arrival at the location where the client wishes to carry out the recording, prior to starting work. The date is reserved only once the deposit has been received and verified.

The submission and confirmation of the 50% deposit payment will act as an express declaration of intent and will constitute a binding contract between the client and JB.SKYLNES - DRON, making all these Terms and Conditions fully valid and enforceable from that moment, in accordance with Art. 1461 and following of the Ecuadorian Civil Code and Art. 48 of the Law on Electronic Commerce, Electronic Signatures and Data Messages. The client declares full knowledge and acceptance of these Terms upon making said payment, without the need for an additional signature.

In the event that weather conditions pose a risk to the safe operation of the drone (excessive wind, rain, fog, electrical storm or other adverse conditions), the final decision on the feasibility of the flight belongs solely and exclusively to the pilot operator of JB.SKYLNES - DRON. This determination will be made based on the safety of people, property and the aircraft, and no client, contracting party or third party may demand the flight under conditions the pilot considers unsafe.

Rescheduling due to weather — already at the location: If the pilot is already present at the recording location and weather conditions prevent the flight, requiring the service to be rescheduled to another day, a surcharge of USD $10.00 will apply for mobilization costs incurred. This amount must be paid by the client before the new recording date.

Prior notice with 1 hour in advance: If the client or pilot notifies at least one (1) hour before the start of the service that weather conditions do not allow the recording to take place, rescheduling will not generate any additional mobilization cost. In this case, a new date will be coordinated by mutual agreement between the parties with no financial penalty.

In accordance with Articles 107 and following of the Organic Code of the Social Economy of Knowledge, Creativity and Innovation (INGENIOS Code, Official Registry Supplement No. 899, December 9, 2016), all video recordings, aerial images, shots, sequences, compositions, edits, post-production and any other audiovisual content generated during the provision of services are works protected by copyright, whose original and exclusive ownership belongs to JB.SKYLNES - DRON as author and audiovisual producer.

JB.SKYLNES - DRON expressly reserves, in accordance with Art. 123 of the INGENIOS Code, all moral and economic rights over the generated works, including: (a) the right of reproduction; (b) the right of distribution; (c) the right of public communication; (d) the right of transformation or adaptation; and (e) the right of making available to the public. These rights may only be exercised by the client through an express license or written assignment.

The Service Provider reserves the right to use fragments of the produced material for its professional portfolio, advertising, social media and commercial demonstrations. If the client does not wish their material to be used for these purposes, they must communicate this in writing at the time of contracting, which may imply an additional fee for full exclusivity.

Unless otherwise agreed, the client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license without sublicensing rights, for personal and private use of the material. This includes: (a) personal viewing and enjoyment; (b) publication on the client's personal social media accounts with mention or credit to the Service Provider when possible; and (c) non-commercial sharing with family and friends. Any commercial use, advertising, direct or indirect profit, sale or sublicensing of the material is expressly prohibited under this license.

When the client requires using the material for commercial, advertising, marketing, real estate purposes, monetized platforms, paid advertising (ads), mass distribution or any activity that generates direct or indirect economic benefit, they must expressly contract the Commercial Use License, which carries an additional cost on top of the base service price.

The Commercial Use License grants the client the non-exclusive right to use the material for the specific purposes agreed upon in the quote or license contract. The geographic scope, duration, permitted distribution channels and other conditions will be established in writing. This license does not imply transfer of copyright ownership.

If the client wishes to acquire full ownership of the economic rights over the produced material, including the right of modification, sublicensing, unlimited reproduction and total commercial exploitation, they must expressly request it and sign an Assignment of Economic Copyright Contract pursuant to Art. 128 of the INGENIOS Code, through a written instrument signed by both parties at a differentiated price. The moral rights of the author are non-waivable and inalienable pursuant to Art. 122 of the INGENIOS Code.

Regardless of the type of license contracted, the client is expressly prohibited from:

• Reselling, sublicensing or transferring the material to third parties without written authorization from the Service Provider.
• Removing, modifying or hiding the metadata, watermarks or any authorship indication of the material.
• Using the material in contexts that damage the reputation, image or values of the Service Provider.
• Presenting the material as their own work or that of a third party other than the Service Provider.
• Using the material in political campaigns, adult content, defamatory material or illegal activities.
• Using the material beyond the scope, term and territory agreed upon in the contracted license.

Cancellations will only be accepted when notified in writing to the Service Provider at least seven (7) business days before the event date. Cancellations within this period will entitle the client to a 100% refund of the deposit.

If cancellation occurs less than seven (7) business days before or on the same day as the event, the deposit will be retained as compensation for the date reservation and operational costs incurred.

Applicable refunds will be made by bank transfer (savings or checking account) within five (5) business days following confirmation of the cancellation.

If the Service Provider cancels due to causes attributable to them, 100% of the deposit will be refunded. In case of force majeure or act of God (extreme adverse weather, flight ban, health emergency or other duly justified causes), a new date will be agreed upon at no additional cost or, if not possible, 100% of the deposit will be refunded.

The Service Provider will not be liable for the quality of the material when it is affected by adverse weather conditions, airspace restrictions, electronic interference or other circumstances beyond their control.

The client is responsible for obtaining the necessary permits from the owner or manager of the recording location and for ensuring minimum safety conditions for drone operation. Non-compliance exempts the Service Provider from any resulting liability.

In the event that the drone or other equipment used suffers damage, breakdown or loss during the course of a recording or event, provided that said damage is not exclusively attributable to one party alone, the economic responsibility will be shared equally: 50% by the Service Provider and 50% by the client.

Shared cause includes, among others: environmental interference, site conditions under the client's control, unauthorized handling of equipment by third parties present at the event, or any factor in which both parties had participation or knowledge. If the damage is exclusively attributable to the client or to third parties under their responsibility, the full cost of repair or replacement will be borne by the client.

Once the download link has been delivered, the Service Provider does not guarantee indefinite storage of the material on their servers. The client is advised to make backup copies immediately. The Service Provider will retain the material for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days after delivery.

These Terms, together with the accepted quote and any license contract signed, constitute the complete agreement between the parties and replace any prior agreement.

If any clause is declared null or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will retain full validity.

Failure to exercise any right under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Ecuador, in particular: the Civil Code, the Commercial Code, the INGENIOS Code, the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection, and the Law on Electronic Commerce, Electronic Signatures and Data Messages.
