Terms and Conditions for Pre-Recorded Elvis Video Singing Telegrams

1. Booking and Payment:

  • Reservation: Pre-recorded video singing telegrams must be booked at least 48 hours in advance to allow for customization and recording. Rush orders (less than 48 hours) may be accommodated depending on availability but will incur an additional fee.

  • Payment: Full payment is required at the time of booking. Payment confirms your order and secures the production of the video.

2. Personalization:

  • Customization: Each pre-recorded video includes a personalized message and a performance of one Elvis song of your choice. Additional songs, extended messages, or other customizations may incur an extra fee.

  • Content Submission: Clients must submit any required information (e.g., recipient’s name, special message, song selection) at the time of booking. Failure to provide this information may result in delays.

3. Delivery:

  • Video Format: The video will be delivered in MP4 format unless otherwise requested. If a different format is required, this must be discussed during the booking process.

  • Delivery Time: The pre-recorded video will be delivered via email or file-sharing link within 48 hours of booking, unless it is a rush order. Rush orders will be delivered within 24 hours, provided all required information is submitted promptly.
