Information for Advertising Agencies;

Request;
On your request for a specific timeframe I can tell you on the spot if I would be available. I can only reserve that time frame for you if you option me. I can't make reservations on a request, will not make a note of it and any booking will have a higher priority.

Op uw aanvraag voor een bepaalde periode kan ik u natuurlijk zeggen of ik beschikbaar kan zijn op het moment dat u het vraagt. Daaraan kunt u echter geen rechten ontlenen. Ik noteer het niet in mijn agenda en elke geboekte opdracht die na die aanvraag komt gaat voor.

Option;

If you would like me to reserve any time frame for your future commission it would be possible to some extend.
The period needs to be certain and specified even if the commission hasn't been formulated completely yet.
The commission needs to start within 3 days after the option has been requested or on the agreed date and time if that would be after the 3 day period.
If I am available I will keep the time frame open but a booking has priority. If a booking by a third party occurs in your optioned period I will contact you to see if you are ready to change the option into a booking.
If you can't book me the third party booking will be accepted.
If I have not heard of you by the intended start date of the option I can assume that the commission has been cancelled.
I don't have to actively check or wait for you.
If the job turns out to be much different then was described to me for the option I can refuse the commission.
If I can accept the commission anyway the deadline as mentioned in the option description may have to be moved backwards accordingly.
If the commission changes significantly before starting I will try to fit it in my schedule but the deadline as mentioned in the option description may have to be moved backwards accordingly.
If the deadlines are so tight that they would possibly require night time work an option is not possible. A booking would be needed always.

Booking;

You can book me for any given date and production time frame and if I am available I will reserve that time.
If the commission I was booked for is not formulated in full at the specified date and time of the booking I will wait until the time that I deem reasonable. Reasonable would be the moment that would not allow me to create the booked commission within the booked time frame anymore.
Any waiting time would have to be charged with 250 € per day. A waiting day is the time between 8:00 and 18:00 hrs.
After 18:00 hrs would constitute a new waiting day even when the briefing arrives at the booked start date but at 18:15 hrs.
Cancellation of the booking before start date will be charged with 1 waiting day for every 3 booked production days.
Cancellation of the booking on start date will mean that the entire booked time period will be charged as waiting days.
If the booked commission runs very late or changes significantly in character and/or size I will try to fit it in anyway, if I get enough time to do the job well and there's no night shifts required.
If the commission is smaller than what I was booked for I will charge waiting days to compensate for the excess reserved time.
