Please have a look at our terms

Our Terms

For optimum quality we put a maximum of 2 hours onto 1 DVD. This means a full 3 hour (E180) VHS tape will be split over two DVDs.
Payment can be made by credit/debit card, PayPal, cheque (payable to Videopoint) or cash.
We cannot copy films, TV programmes or other tapes you do not have permission to copy.
We reserve the right not to transfer a tape for any reason, whether it is due, in our opinion, to the condition of the tape, the content or doubt that you have permission.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment for any of these services is upon completion of the work.
Once we have supplied your DVD(s) we do not keep any copies. Any additional copies required after conversion will therefore be charged at the full conversion/duplication rates. Cine film master files are kept on the computer for two weeks.
We take the greatest care of your tapes, however any liability for damage or loss of materials or content which may occur during the conversion process will be limited to the replacement of the blank media, howsoever caused. We do not accept any liability for the contents within the recording.
