1. Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of buildmode.studio (the "Site") and any inquiry or booking made through it, operated by Build Mode Digital Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), based in London, Ontario, Canada. Buildmode Studio is a brand name used by Build Mode Digital Inc. for its video production work; the contracting party on any engagement is the corporation.
By visiting the Site or submitting an inquiry, you agree to these Terms.

Buildmode Studio is open for booking. Rates and packages shown on the Site are indicative until confirmed in a written quote for your specific project and scope. Aerial documentation and mapping services are offered separately at buildmodeaerial.ca.
- Joining the founding-client list is free and does not create a contract or obligation to purchase services.
- No service is rendered, and no fee is owed, until both parties sign a separate written service agreement specific to that project.
- Drone-based work is flown under the operator and pilot certificates described in Section 4.
3. Services

Specific services, pricing and scope are defined in a written agreement for each booking. Aerial documentation and measurement — orthomosaic mapping, stockpile volumes and cut/fill tracking — are offered separately through Buildmode Aerial Mapping at buildmodeaerial.ca.

Drone (RPAS) operations in Canada are regulated by Transport Canada. Operations are flown by Build Mode Digital Inc. under RPAS Operator Certificate OC2623804121 (CAR 901.214), against a written operations manual, by a pilot holding an Advanced RPAS pilot certificate. Liability insurance is in place (see Section 5).
- All flights will be conducted in compliance with applicable Transport Canada rules, including airspace restrictions, altitude limits, and any required notifications or authorizations for the specific site.
- Clients are responsible for disclosing any site-specific hazards or restricted airspace conditions they're aware of (e.g., proximity to airports, power lines, or restricted zones) prior to a booked flight.
- We reserve the right to decline or reschedule a flight for safety, weather, or regulatory reasons.
5. Liability & Insurance
Build Mode Digital Inc. holds commercial general liability and aviation liability coverage bound at $2,000,000, with limits increased per engagement where a client contract requires it. A Certificate of Insurance is provided before shoot day as part of any service agreement, and on request during prequalification.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim related to services will be limited to the amount paid for that specific booking, and we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
6. Intellectual Property & Footage Use
Ownership and usage rights for footage and final deliverables (who can use the video, for what, and whether Buildmode Studio can use it in a portfolio or on social media) will be defined per-project in the written service agreement at time of booking. Until that agreement exists, no footage-related rights are implied by visiting this Site or joining the founding-client list.
