TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
Our web site contains many DEG and third-party trademarks and service marks including the DEG Logo. All marks are the property of their respective companies. All rights in the intellectual property contained in this web site including copyright, trademarks, trade secret and patent rights are reserved. Nothing on this web site shall be construed as conferring any license under any product images, graphics or other intellectual property except as explicitly provided in these terms.

Except as otherwise noted, DEG is the owner of all trademarks and service marks on this website, whether registered or not. All registered trademarks are registered in the United States of America (and other applicable jurisdictions).

For professional videography services, DEG charges an hourly fee, which the scheduling party agrees to pay, to be present to record the deposition on videotape, or other suitable electronic format. This hourly fee does not include any product or recording made by DEG. All product and/or recording is available to any party, subject to restrictions in a valid Protective Order, for a separate fee.

Those requesting professional videography services from DEG understand and agree that the purchase of products from DEG, including recordings of depositions on any media and in any format, is subject to any and all copyrights of DEG. Purchaser, by act of a product purchase, is not given permission, unless explicitly given by DEG in writing, to copy or re-format any copyrighted material. Purchaser is granted permission to view and re-play, unaltered, only the product purchased, including in the format purchased. Any reformatting or copying is expressly forbidden. Any and all copyright shall be exclusively held by DEG. All parties agree DEG is not being hired for the purpose of creating a "work for hire." All recordings copyrighted by Digital Evidence Group, LLC, 2003-2005.

AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

It is the policy of DEG to offer for sale the recorded product to all parties, including, but not limited to VHS tapes, MiniDV tapes, CD-ROM and DVD recordings. As an independent videographer, if the product is available to one party, it is required that we make it available to all parties.

After a recording session has concluded, DEG offers auxillary services for additional fees. These services include:

1) transcoding, or re-formating, the recorded material into any number of formats;
2) synchronizing video to a written transcript; and
3) securely publishing video content on the Internet that is available on-demand in a web browser, adjacent to a scrolling synchronized transcript.

Each of the above services, if provided by DEG as an independent service provider, is also required to be offered to all eligible parties.

DEG also provides trial consulting services. Once we have been retained, in writing at a time after the conclusion of the discovery period, by one party, our relationship with the remaining parties is altered as we become privy to certain strategies and methodologies undertaken in preparation for trial. Once we have been retained as trial consultants, the Hiring Firm becomes our client while the others remain customers. The services we provide customers may become limited, as we owe clients a higher duty to attend to their needs. Nevertheless, it is DEG policy not to discuss or disclose the products or services purchased by another customer; the prices offered or paid by another customer; or any special, promotional, relational, or bulk price discounting.

If DEG is asked to perform work that presents a conflict of interest once DEG has been retained as a trial consultant, DEG may be required to abstain from performing the work. If there is a question as to the existence of a conflict of interest, DEG may consult its client to determine if DEG is free to provide products or services to another party.
