Weather & Production Delays
Full payment of the agreed day rate is due regardless of weather conditions, location changes, production delays, early wrap, or other circumstances beyond CPE’s control.
No weather-related charge will apply only if:

- The production day is rescheduled within seven (14) calendar days.
Overtime
Overtime is billed in accordance with California labor laws:
- 2x the regular rate after 12 hours worked in a workday

Description of Services
CPE provides professional security services for film, television, and commercial productions. Security personnel are responsible for assigned access control, perimeter monitoring, and observing and reporting suspicious or unsafe activity.
CPE personnel are not law enforcement officers and do not have special police powers. Officers may only perform a citizen’s arrest as permitted under California law. When criminal or safety concerns arise, CPE personnel may notify law enforcement, emergency personnel, or the designated production representative as appropriate.
Security services are intended to deter and report unlawful or unsafe activity. CPE does not guarantee the prevention of all incidents, losses, or disruptions.

Payment is due upon completion of services unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Invoices not paid within ten (10) calendar days of receipt may be subject to a late fee at the maximum rate permitted by law.
Productions lasting longer than seven (7) consecutive days will be invoiced weekly.
CPE will provide an invoice, W-9, and proof of insurance upon request.
