  • (hereinafter referred to as the “Worker”)

    and

    C&I Studios Inc., with its office located at 541 NW 1st Ave Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), both of whom agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    WHEREAS, this Agreement shall continue until the work outlined below is completed.

    WHEREAS, the Company wishes to attain the services of the Worker, and the Worker wishes to execute those services as per the terms and conditions set forth.

    IN CONSIDERATION, the parties agree the following terms and conditions:

    1. Work for Hire Position Guidelines

    The Worker agrees and acknowledges that he/she will always, in the course of his/her responsibilities, act with devotion, loyalty and to the best of his/her capability and knowledge while executing all of the responsibilities specified in the second term and condition. While executing these responsibilities outlined in the second term and condition, the Worker agrees to follow the policies and regulations of the Company, which will be pointed out both written and verbally in the duration of this Agreement. The Company has the absolute right to conduct background checks on the Worker prior to the start of his/her work.

    2. Responsibilities and Position Title

    The responsibilities that the Worker shall execute as a (e.g. Camera operator, photographer etc), on behalf of the Company are the following tasks:

      A) (for example, take a photoshoot on 16 March 2021 for 3 hours in California etc etc)

    Correspondingly, the Worker should NEVER PASS OUT HIS/HER BUSINESS CARD. In the event that a person, during the course of the Worker’s work, asks for a business card, the Worker should direct the person towards a permanent member of the Company to give out his/her business card. For example, when a person wishes to obtain a business card from the second shooter in a shoot, the second shooter should direct the person to the lead of the shoot to obtain his/her business card.

    Furthermore, it is very important for a Worker to smile during his/her work. The Company wants the Worker to smile as much as possible during his/her work because the Company wishes to avoid the Worker appearing unhappy, tired or annoyed during his/her work with the Company, which can result in a negative brand image for the Company.

    Moreover, the Worker should always offer to carry bags. This is due to the fact that the Company wishes to make life easier for the main shooter. This clause does not imply that the Worker will always carry the bags or MUST carry the bags, but the Company wishes that the Worker will at least offer to carry them.

    Not to mention, during the Worker’s work, the Worker shall not post to any social media sites that promote his/her own brand while shooting with the Company. For example, the work of the second shooter may be shown on his/her own websites and social media accounts/outlets no sooner than 6 months following the event.

    During the course and duration of this Agreement, the Worker must not save, share or use any of the Company’s clients personal and sensitive information including usernames and passwords and other similar things, unless it is part of the job.

    Additionally, during the course of this Agreement and while the Worker is working for the Company, the Worker cannot reference his/her own company or that he/she is a freelancer.

    In the event that the Worker realizes there is a certain issue, or a problem or a better way to do any of his/her responsibilities of the work, the Worker should inform the lead of the shoot. The Worker should not share the relevant issue, problem or solution with the client at first because the lead of the shoot will most likely know more information about the shoot than the Worker.

    3. Compensation

    1. The responsibilities that the Worker will execute on behalf of the Company will be invoiced at $ USD per hour.
    2. The Company is eligible to provide any bonus or commissions to the invoiced amount at its discretion.
    3. The payment date shall be on the last Friday of each month.

    4. Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure

    The Worker must not disclose to any third party any details concerning the Company’s business, including, without limitation any information concerning any of the Company’s customer information, financials, business plans, among other things (the “Confidential Information”). The Company must also not make copies of any Confidential Information or any content based on the concepts contained within the Confidential Information for personal use or for distribution unless requested to do so by the Client.

    5. Termination

    1. The Worker and the Company may at any time terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days written notice to the other party.
    2. The Worker agrees to return any possessions of the Company at the time of termination.
    3. In the event that the Worker leaves this job with the Company or this Agreement is terminated, the Worker should delete all Confidential Information.
    4. The Worker is, under no circumstances whatsoever, capable of carrying out any other activities which are designed to or could be reasonably expected to interfere with the customers, business relationships and business operations of the Company or its affiliates when this Agreement is terminated. Therefore, all leads must be directed to the Company and the Worker cannot promote himself/herself. This non-compete clause shall survive for days following the termination of this Agreement.

    6. Independent Legal Advice

    The Worker recognizes that the Company has given the Worker the necessary time period to receive independent legal advice regarding this agreement, and that either:

    1. The Worker has received relevant independent legal advice before to signing this agreement, or;
    2. The Worker has voluntarily decided not to receive independent legal advice and to sign this agreement in the absence of relevant independent legal advice.

    7. Intellectual Property

    In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Worker may create certain intellectual property ("Created IP"), including but not limited to, plans, drawings, specifications, reports, advice, analyses, designs, methodologies, programs, artwork, or any other intellectual property as required to render the provision of the responsibilities specified above by the Worker to the Company. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, any such Created IP generated by the Worker in connection with the provision of the responsibilities specified above by the Worker to the Company shall belong to the Company.

    8. Indemnification of Lawyer Costs, Out-of-Pocket expenses and Liability for Breach

    If any party breaches this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be compensated by the breaching party for its reasonable lawyer costs and out-of-pocket expenses which in any way relate to the breach of this agreement.

    The Parties acknowledge that compliance with this Agreement is necessary to protect the goodwill and other proprietary interests of the Parties and that a breach of this Agreement will also give rise to irreparable and continuing injury to the non-breaching Party.

    Therefore, each Party agrees that breach of this Agreement will give the right to the non-breaching Party to seek damages for any losses and damages incurred as a result of breach of this Agreement and/or in connection with such violation.

    9. Entire Agreement

    This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the two parties, completely replacing any other previous written or verbal contracts concerning the relationship of the Worker with the Company.

    10. No Variation Unless in Writing

    No variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the Parties or by their duly authorized representatives.

    11. Waiver

    The failure to exercise any right provided in this Agreement shall not be a waiver of prior or subsequent rights.

    12. Laws

    This Agreement shall be governed by the federal laws of the United States of America (USA) and the state laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes arising between the parties must be settled in a competent court within the State of Florida.

    13. Severability

    If any term and condition or a part of a term and condition of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid then that term and condition or part of that term and condition will be struck down and ignored and all remaining terms and conditions will continue being in full force and effect.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company has agreed that this agreement is to be executed by its representatives and the Worker has set his/her hand as of the date first above written. SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED in the presence of:
