Location Release

In addition to certain guarantees provided by law, LegalZoom guarantees your satisfaction with our services and support. Because our company was created by experienced attorneys, we strive to be the best legal document service on the web. If you are not satisfied with our services, please contact us immediately and we will correct the situation, provide a refund or offer credit that can be used for future LegalZoom orders.

LegalZoom Satisfaction Guarantee Details:

If you're not satisfied, simply call us toll-free at (800) 773-0888 during our normal business hours. All requests made under this guarantee must be made within 60 days of purchase. We will process your request within 5 business days after we've received all of the documents and materials sent to you. Unfortunately, we can't refund or credit any money paid to government entities, such as filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order. We also cannot refund any money paid by you directly to third parties, such as payments made by you directly to attorneys affiliated with our legal plans or attorney-assisted products.
If you want to exchange the product you ordered for a different one, you must request this exchange and complete your replacement order within 60 days of purchase. The purchase price of the original item, less any money paid to government entities, such as filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order, will be credited to your LegalZoom account. Any payments made directly by you to attorneys affiliated with our legal plans or attorney-assisted products are not eligible for exchange or credit. Any price difference between the original order and the replacement order or, if a replacement order is not completed within 60 days of purchase, the full original purchase price (in each case less any money paid to government entities or other third parties) will be credited to the original form of payment. If you paid for your original order by check, LegalZoom will mail a check for the applicable amount to your billing address.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the results or outcome of your particular procedure. For instance, the government may reject a trademark application for legal reasons beyond the scope of LegalZoom's service. In some cases, a government backlog can lead to long delays before your process is complete. Similarly, LegalZoom does not guarantee the results or outcomes of the services rendered by our legal plan attorneys or attorney-assisted products. Problems like these are beyond our control and are not covered by this guarantee.
Since we're dedicating time and effort to your legal document preparation, our guarantee only covers satisfaction issues caused by LegalZoom - not changes to your situation or your state of mind.

Location Release

Get the permission you need to film on location

It is not uncommon for motion pictures, news programs, TV shows, commercials, documentaries, and student films to use real locations during the production process. In addition to giving the project an air of authenticity, using actual locations can sometimes reduce production costs by eliminating the need to hire art directors and set designers. Property owners, too, can benefit by charging to allow filming on their grounds or by using the production to promote their business. However, there are inherent risks to both parties when filming on location, risks that do not necessarily exist within the controlled confines of a closed set. It is recommended that a well-drafted location release is completed before filming begins in a new location in order to minimize these risks. With a location release in hand, a filmmaker or production company has the permission needed to film on a specific property. Furthermore, the location release gives the filmmaker or production company ownership of any images of that property that appear in the footage. A location release also limits the property owner's responsibility for injuries or other damage occurring on his or her property during filming. Finally, the release gives the owner assurances that the property will be returned in the same condition as prior to filming. LegalZoom's Location Release provides a good starting point for helping you determine an arrangement that works for both parties: the filmmakers and the property owners. Download the release today to begin spelling out each party's duties and expectations, and to address any liability issues.

A LegalZoom Location Release gives you:

Essential Documentation: A detailed release should protect the parties' rights during filming.
Dos & Don'ts: Learn what terms and conditions, at a minimum, should be included in the release.
