Photography and videography services constitute creative services.

Media Midwest may exercise professional and artistic discretion concerning composition, framing, lighting, camera positioning, editing, color grading, cropping, sequencing, visual effects, music selection, presentation, and other creative decisions.

20. THIRD-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

When a customer purchases a product or service directly from an independent partner, sponsor, vendor, or other third party, that transaction may be governed by the third party's own terms, policies, warranties, return procedures, and payment requirements.
