Your Swank account executive will give you an immediate verbal confirmation,
if possible, in addition to mailing you a printed confirmation.
Call if your printed confirmation is not correct. Confirmations
can also be obtained via email; simply provide us with your email
address at the time of your order.
Prices are for a one-day rental. For each additional day shown,
a fee of $100 will be charged. If you charge admission, your movie
rental rate is a flat rate versus 50% of your gate receipts, whichever
is greater. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice.
Your movies will arrive at least two business days before your show
date. A full inspection of your video, DVD, 16mm or 35mm is required
at that time. If your print has not arrived, call your Swank Account
executive. Payment of your full rental fee is required if there
is not notification to your Swank Account executive at least one
(1) business day prior to your show regarding undelivered or damaged
prints.
DVD copies are delivered to you at least two business days prior
to your show. At this time it is necessary to view the ENTIRE movie
in the actual equipment (including the projector, if applicable)
which will be used during your screening. The reason for this is
because dual layering is used industry-wide to accommodate special
features on your DVD. The transition between layers can cause pauses,
skipping, pixilations or freezing during play. Some DVD players
may NOT be compatible with the DVD itself.
This needs to be assessed in enough time to change copies, equipment
or, if necessary, even titles if you find that your player and disk
are incompatible. Damage during shipment can also cause variations
in play; however, keep in mind that shallow scratches and smudges
on the disk will likely NOT affect its play. A visual inspection
is not enough to determine whether or not the DVD will play smoothly.
A complete viewing is the only way to determine if the product is
ready for a successful screening. If you find that you are having
difficulty with a DVD, contact your Swank Account executive immediately.
At that time, all efforts will be made to resolve your problem.
No discounts or refunds will be given if we are not alerted at least
one (1) business day prior to your screening date.

Movies must be returned on the first business day following the
scheduled showing. Future bookings are dependent on your timely
return of all movies. Charges will apply for any delay in returning
your movies from a late fee, up to and including an additional full
rental charge for the movie.
Swank includes postage for your convenience on 16mm, video and DVD
shipments. The shipping and handling charge includes postage for
delivery to you and return to Swank. You are responsible for the
movie while it is in your possession and until Swank receives it
at our facility in Elmhurst, IL. Please rewind videocassettes before
returning them to Swank.
Do not rewind 16mm films. Use a take-up reel of the same size we
send to you, tape down film ends, replace the reel bands and lock
the film case before returning the movie.
Any film may be canceled without obligation provided that Swank
Motion Pictures, Inc. receives written notification fourteen (14)
days before the film is shipped or the full rental and handling
charges must be paid.
All show date changes must be made in writing and received by Swank
Motion Pictures, Inc. ten (10) days before the film is shipped,
or the full rental and handling charges must be paid.

showings only. Advertising through media such as public radio, public

You may fund raise with any movie except for Walt Disney Pictures'
feature-length movies, for which you may only charge admission to
help defray the rental cost of the movie.
In the event of inclement weather, electrical problems, projector
malfunction or other problems that prevent you from showing your
film on your scheduled date, you have the option to show the film
again within one year at no additional rental charge.
Regardless of rescheduling, all invoices are due at the time of
the original show date. Only freight will be charged for the rescheduled
show date. Titles cannot be substituted for rescheduling. All advertising
and admission policies still apply to the rescheduled show.
