Terms of Service

Effective date: August 4, 2026 · Last updated: August 4, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of movementfilmmaker.com and the products, courses, community, mentorship, and messaging programs offered by Sages Media LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company doing business as Movement Filmmaker ("we," "us," or "our"). By using our website or services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who we are

Sages Media LLC is an online filmmaking education business based in Nashville, Tennessee. We teach athletes, filmmakers, and creators how to capture human movement and edit it into cinematic films, through online courses, a membership community, live calls, downloadable creative asset packs, and one-to-one mentorship.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this website, purchase our products, join our programs, or consent to receive text messages from us. By using our services you represent that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into these Terms.

3. Purchases, billing, and cancellation

4. Educational content — no guarantee of results

Our programs are educational. We teach craft: camera movement, framing, editing, sound design, and color grading. We do not promise or guarantee any specific outcome — including any number of clients, any level of income, any career result, or any particular level of skill in a given timeframe. Results depend on your own effort, practice, background, and circumstances. Any examples of student work or outcomes are illustrative and are not a promise that you will achieve the same.

5. Intellectual property

All course videos, workbooks, written material, presets, sound packs, transition packs, photography, and film footage on this site and in our programs are the property of Sages Media LLC and are protected by copyright. When you purchase a course or membership you receive a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access and use that material for your own learning. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, publicly post, or share your access credentials with others. Creative asset packs may be used in your own client and personal film projects; they may not be resold or redistributed as standalone assets.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use our website or community to post unlawful, harassing, hateful, or infringing content, to attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, to scrape or bulk-download our material, or to interfere with other members' use of the community. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms, without refund where the violation is material.

7. SMS / text messaging terms and conditions

These messaging terms apply to the Movement Filmmaker text message program operated by Sages Media LLC.

7.1 Program description

By providing your mobile number and checking the SMS consent box on our website, you consent to receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages from Movement Filmmaker (Sages Media LLC) at the number you provided. Messages include free trainings and resources, new course and program launches, live Q&A call invitations and reminders, community updates, and promotional offers.

7.2 Consent is not a condition of purchase

Your consent to receive text messages is entirely optional and is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services from us. You can buy anything we sell without ever agreeing to receive texts. Leaving the consent box unchecked means you will receive email only.

7.3 How you opt in

Opt-in is collected through the visible web form at movementfilmmaker.com. You enter your first name, email, and mobile number. Providing a phone number alone does not give us permission to text you — consent is collected only through the checkboxes.

The form presents two separate consent checkboxes, so that consent to informational messages is never bundled with consent to marketing messages:

Both checkboxes are unchecked by default and entirely optional — neither is required to submit the form, and neither is a condition of any purchase. Each displays the sending business name, the message types, message frequency, message and data rate disclosure, and STOP/HELP instructions, with links to this page and our Privacy Policy directly beside them. We record the exact consent language, date, time, and page URL for every opt-in. We do not add anyone to the program who has not personally opted in, and we do not purchase, rent, or import third-party phone number lists.

7.4 Message frequency

Message frequency varies. You can generally expect a few messages per month, with more during a course launch or live event period.

7.5 Cost

Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for the messages themselves, but your mobile carrier's standard message and data rates will apply according to your plan. Check with your carrier if you are unsure of your rates.

7.6 How to opt out — reply STOP

You may cancel at any time. Reply STOP to any message from us. You will receive a single confirmation message letting you know you have been unsubscribed, and after that you will receive no further marketing text messages from this program. You may also opt out by emailing sage@movementfilmmaker.com with your mobile number. We also honour the keywords END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and QUIT.

7.7 How to get help — reply HELP

Reply HELP to any message for assistance, and you will receive a message with our contact details. You can also reach us any time at sage@movementfilmmaker.com or (629) 252-5911.

7.8 Supported carriers and carrier liability

The program is available on major U.S. wireless carriers, including AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, Boost Mobile, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, Cricket, and others. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is subject to effective transmission by your carrier and is not guaranteed.

7.9 Changing or deactivating your number

If you change or deactivate the mobile number you gave us, you agree to notify us so that we do not send messages intended for you to someone else.

7.10 Privacy

Your mobile information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

8. Disclaimers

Our website and services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, or professional advice.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sages Media LLC and its members, officers, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of our website, products, or messaging programs. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to these Terms or our services will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sages Media LLC from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of our services, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or our services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent version. Your continued use of the website or services after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
