Terms of Service

Film Budgeteers Website Terms of Use

By ordering the Film Budgeteers service, you agree to the following terms

#1 The budget we provide you is a starting point, not the finish line

Our budgeting engine is designed to be as simple as possible while asking the most relevant questions in order to dial in as accurate a budget as possible, but the budget we provide you is not intended to be 100% perfectly tailored around every last detail about your film.  To provide that, we would need to break down and line your screenplay, create a detailed prep-, post- and production schedule, and engage in key discussions with not only your producers, but your director and all department heads. That’s why the budget we recommend you order is one that includes an editable version. That way, if you need to get as accurate as possible, you can do it yourself or have a line producer help you. 

#2 Our calculations and formulas are proprietary

For the bulk of your budget, how we do calculate totals is very clear just by looking at your budget. But there are a few key formulas that are proprietary, and make up the core of the Film Budgeteers process.  While we love to help, we simply cannot provide all of our formulas along with your final budget. 

#3 Refund Policy

1. Processing fees charged by our credit card processor will not be refunded, as Film Budgeteers is charged those fees no matter what.

2. Refunds are not available for any sort of lifetime access or multiple budget credit purchases.


Payments are made via Paypal every first week of the month for all referred purchases made in the previous month.
