Coverage
While issues are rare, due to the nature of the internet live streaming can be subject to external influences that can cause interruption or disruption to the stream and/or recording of services. No guarantee is given that audio/visual data delivered over the internet will be uninterrupted or error-free. Spire Funeral Live Streaming will not be liable for any corruption to the streaming of the Funeral or any delay in receiving or other defects relating to data dispatched over the internet. As a back up we always record the ceremony in case of disruption out of our control. Should this be the case, a recording will be uploaded to our website within 24-48 hours of us arriving back at our office.
The client understands and accepts that the video coverage will be as the Videographer determines and that no individual video clip will be deemed more important than another. Special requests are not binding instruction, although every effort is made to comply with the client’s wishes. The Videographer shall be granted complete artistic licence including in relation to the angle of capture and the locations used. The videographers judgement regarding the positioning shall be final. Due to the vagaries of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested.
