General Terms and Conditions
Important. These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the provision of professional intimacy coordination and related consultancy services by Audrey CsNagy (“Provider”, “we”, “us”) to clients in the screen sector and allied fields (“Client”, “you”). They are drafted for cross-border use and incorporate widely recognised principles for professional services. They do not constitute legal advice. You should obtain independent legal, tax, insurance, and employment counsel before entering into any engagement, especially where union rules, collective agreements, minors, or multiple jurisdictions are involved.
1. Definitions
- Agreement: these Terms together with any written Statement of Work, engagement letter, fee quote, or purchase order expressly accepted in writing by the Provider.
- Confidential Information: all non-public information disclosed by either party, including scripts, breakdowns, schedules, cast/crew personal data, union documents, and any materials marked or reasonably understood to be confidential.
- Deliverables: reports, notes, protocols, or other tangible outputs expressly listed in the Agreement—not including creative outcomes of a production (e.g. final cut, box-office results, awards, cast satisfaction).
- Services: intimacy coordination, consultation, rehearsal support, on-set coordination, documentation assistance, and related professional activities described in the Agreement and on the website, always within the Provider’s professional competence and certification scope.
2. Application and precedence
2.1. By requesting, booking, or accepting Services—whether verbally, by email, through a third-party payroll company, or by signature—you agree to these Terms.
2.2. Any Client terms, purchase conditions, or vendor portals apply only if and to the extent expressly accepted in writing by the Provider. In case of conflict, the Agreement (as defined above) prevails, then these Terms, then any Client paper.
2.3. No waiver of any provision shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver unless in writing.
3. Independent professional status
3.1. The Provider acts as an independent professional, not as an employee, partner, agent, or joint venturer of the Client unless a separate written employment agreement explicitly states otherwise and complies with applicable mandatory labour law.
3.2. The Client shall not represent that the Provider may bind the Client to third parties. The Provider has no authority to negotiate collective agreements, SAG-AFTRA waivers, or legal settlements on the Client’s behalf unless expressly mandated in writing.
4. Scope of Services and exclusions
4.1. Services are professional coordination and consultancy in line with recognised industry practice (including, where applicable, IPA standards and SAG-AFTRA intimacy-related guidance). They do not include:
- legal advice, representation before courts or tribunals, or regulated legal services;
- medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment;
- casting decisions, artistic direction, or editorial control over performances;
- guarantees of any particular creative, commercial, regulatory, or union outcome;
- warranty that any production will be free of complaints, claims, investigations, or reputational impact.
4.2. The Client remains solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, collective agreements, insurance policies, child-protection rules, immigration requirements, tax obligations, and health-and-safety duties.
4.3. Where mandatory professional or statutory duties conflict with Client instructions, the Provider may decline or suspend performance after prompt notice where reasonably practicable.
5. Client obligations
You shall: (a) provide accurate information and timely access to scripts, schedules, and decision-makers; (b) maintain a safe and lawful working environment; (c) not instruct the Provider to facilitate non-consensual, unlawful, or hazardous conduct; (d) ensure lawful basis and transparency for any processing of personal data you instruct the Provider to handle; (e) obtain and maintain adequate production insurance naming interests as required by your financiers; (f) pay fees and approved expenses when due.
6. Fees, expenses, taxes, and set-off
6.1. Fees are as quoted in the Agreement or, if absent, at the Provider’s then-current standard rates. Unless stated otherwise, quotes are valid for fourteen (14) days.
6.2. Invoices are payable within fourteen (14) days of issue unless a different term is agreed in writing. Time is of the essence.
6.3. Late amounts accrue interest at one percent (1%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, plus reasonable recovery costs.
6.4. The Client shall reimburse pre-approved reasonable travel, accommodation, and subsistence at cost against receipts, subject to caps agreed in advance where requested.
6.5. All amounts are exclusive of VAT, GST, sales tax, or similar, where chargeable. The Client shall provide valid tax identifiers where required.
6.6. The Provider may suspend Services for non-payment after written notice and a cure period of five (5) business days, without liability for resulting production impact.
6.7. The Client may not withhold or set off fees except for undisputed amounts finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral award.
7. Confidentiality
7.1. Each party shall protect Confidential Information using at least reasonable care and not disclose it except to personnel and advisers bound by equivalent duties, or as required by law after prior notice where lawful.
7.2. Statutory whistle-blowing and mandatory reporting obligations are reserved.
7.3. Survival: this Section survives termination for seven (7) years or longer if required by law.
8. Intellectual property
8.1. Pre-existing materials of the Provider remain the Provider’s property. Deliverables are licensed to the Client for internal production and legal compliance purposes only, non-exclusive, non-transferable except to successors in title to the production, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
8.2. The Client grants a limited licence to use Client materials solely to perform the Services.
8.3. Moral rights are asserted where recognised and not waived beyond what is necessary for customary use of Deliverables.
9. Data protection
Processing of personal data shall comply with applicable data-protection law (including, where relevant, the UK GDPR / EU GDPR and Hungarian Act CXII of 2011 on the Right of Informational Self-Determination). Roles (controller/processor) shall be reflected in a separate data-processing agreement where mandatory. A privacy notice will be published or supplied on request.

10. Warranties
10.1. The Provider warrants that Services will be performed with reasonable skill and care by appropriately qualified personnel.
10.2. All other warranties—express, implied, statutory, or otherwise—are disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of liability
11.1. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct).
11.2. Subject to Section 11.1, the Provider’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Agreement (whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise) shall not exceed the lower of: (i) the total fees actually paid to the Provider under the Agreement in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability; or (ii) EUR 10,000 (ten thousand euros).
11.3. Subject to Section 11.1, the Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenues, anticipated savings, goodwill, reputation, data, business interruption, financing, insurance recoveries, or opportunities, whether or not foreseeable.
11.4. The Provider is not liable for acts or omissions of third parties (including cast, crew, unions, platforms, insurers, or public authorities).
12. Indemnity
The Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Provider from and against all third-party claims, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) the production’s content, direction, or distribution; (b) the Client’s breach of these Terms or applicable law; (c) personal data processing instructions given by the Client; (d) misuse of Deliverables contrary to the Agreement.
13. Insurance
The Client shall maintain industry-appropriate production insurance. The Provider’s professional indemnity cover (if any) is not a substitute for Client insurance and does not increase the caps in Section 11.
14. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including pandemics, war, terrorism, natural disasters, labour disputes not involving the party’s own workforce, government orders, or failure of utilities or transport, provided prompt notice and reasonable mitigation.
15. Term, suspension, and termination
15.1. Either party may terminate for material breach not cured within ten (10) business days after written notice.
15.2. The Provider may terminate immediately on written notice if continuing would be unlawful, unsafe, or professionally unethical.
15.3. On termination, accrued fees and expenses become immediately due. Sections intended to survive (including 7, 8, 9–12, 15–21) survive.
16. Non-solicitation
During the engagement and for twelve (12) months thereafter, the Client shall not directly solicit the Provider’s core employees or subcontractors for competing intimacy-coordination engagements without the Provider’s prior written consent (ordinary casting or crewing unrelated to intimacy coordination excepted).
17. Anti-bribery and sanctions
Each party shall comply with applicable anti-corruption laws (including the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act where relevant) and applicable trade-sanctions and export-control rules. The Client warrants that neither it nor its beneficial owners are designated sanctions targets.
18. Assignment
The Client may not assign the Agreement without the Provider’s prior written consent. The Provider may assign to a corporate vehicle or successor upon notice, provided the assignee assumes all obligations.
19. Entire agreement; severability; language
These Terms and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement on their subject matter. If any provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect. The English language version prevails over any translation.
20. Governing law and dispute resolution
20.1. These Terms and the Agreement are governed by the laws of Hungary, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would refer to another jurisdiction.
20.2. Subject to Section 20.3, the courts of Budapest, Hungary shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that the Provider may bring enforcement proceedings in any competent jurisdiction where assets are located.
20.3. At the Provider’s sole election, any dispute may instead be finally resolved by arbitration under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in force at the time notice of arbitration is submitted, with seat Budapest, Hungary, conducted in English, by a sole arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
20.4. Nothing in this Section limits the right to seek interim injunctive or urgent relief before competent courts.
