About Ethos Media Co.

Ethos Media Co. provides real estate media, commercial production, agent branding, photography, video, drone, and related creative services.

The website is intended to provide general information about Ethos Media Co., display selected work, explain available services, and allow visitors to submit inquiries or access third-party booking services.

Website Use

You may use this website only for lawful, personal, or legitimate business purposes.

You agree not to:

  • Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful activity

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or connected systems

  • Interfere with the website’s security, performance, or availability

  • Introduce viruses, malicious code, automated attacks, or harmful technology

  • Scrape, copy, harvest, or collect website content or user information without written permission

  • Misrepresent your identity, business, or project details

  • Use the website to send spam, abusive messages, or inappropriate material

  • Reproduce or commercially exploit website content without authorization

Ethos Media Co. may restrict or block access when website misuse, security risks, or prohibited activity are detected.

Informational Content

Website content is provided for general informational and promotional purposes.

Although Ethos Media Co. aims to keep information accurate and current, the website may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or temporary placeholders. Content may be updated, corrected, removed, or reorganized without notice.

Nothing on the website creates a professional, contractual, employment, partnership, or agency relationship unless confirmed in a separate written agreement.

Service Availability

Displaying a service on the website does not guarantee that it is currently available for every location, property, business, timeline, or project.

Service availability may depend on factors including:

  • Location

  • Scheduling

  • Property or project requirements

  • Weather

  • Travel

  • Equipment availability

  • Creative scope

  • Third-party access

  • Safety considerations

  • Written project approval

Ethos Media Co. may accept, decline, postpone, or modify a proposed project at its discretion, subject to any separate agreement already in effect.

Quotes, Pricing and Project Agreements

Information displayed on the website does not constitute a binding quote, offer, or guarantee.

Pricing, deliverables, usage rights, timelines, revisions, deposits, travel costs, cancellation terms, and other project conditions will be established through the applicable booking platform, proposal, invoice, or written client agreement.

When website information conflicts with an executed client agreement, the executed client agreement controls.

Book a Shoot and Tonomo

Real estate and listing-media bookings may be completed through Tonomo.

When you select a Tonomo booking link, you leave the Ethos Media Co. website and interact with a third-party platform. Your use of Tonomo may be governed by its own terms, privacy practices, payment requirements, booking policies, and technical processes.

A submitted booking request is not necessarily confirmed until all required information, acceptance steps, and payments have been completed through the applicable process.

Ethos Media Co. is not responsible for the independent operation, availability, security, or policies of Tonomo.

Project Inquiries

Commercial production, agent branding, and custom media projects may begin through the website contact form.

Submitting an inquiry does not:

  • Guarantee acceptance of the project

  • Reserve a date

  • Establish a client relationship

  • Create a binding agreement

  • Guarantee a response within a particular period

  • Confirm pricing, scope, or availability

A project begins only after the required scope, scheduling, payment, and contractual terms have been accepted.

Payments

Payments may be processed through Tonomo or another approved third-party payment provider.

Ethos Media Co. does not control the security or processing practices of independent payment platforms. Additional payment, deposit, cancellation, rescheduling, refund, or late-payment terms may appear during booking or within a separate agreement.

You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and payment information.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Cancellation, rescheduling, deposit, weather, travel, and refund policies may vary depending on the service or project.

The applicable terms will be provided through the booking process, proposal, invoice, or separate client agreement. These website Terms do not replace those project-specific conditions.

Intellectual Property

The website and its original content, including its design, layout, copy, logos, graphics, branding, animations, components, and media presentation, are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Ethos Media Co., its logo, taglines, and related branding may not be used in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written permission.

Testimonials and Past Work

Testimonials and portfolio examples reflect individual experiences and completed projects.

They do not guarantee that another client will receive identical creative results, business outcomes, engagement, sales, audience growth, or financial performance.
