A few good

When do I pay, and when can I watch?

Premium branded USB delivery is optional: 64 GB $29, 128 GB $49, or 256 GB $79, plus applicable tax. Download your files and keep a separate backup.

Will I get my originals back?

Yes. Your original tapes, discs, photos, slides and negatives are returned. Blank or unplayable media has no conversion charge; prepaid work we cannot perform is credited or refunded.

Can I keep my files online longer?

Optional Extended Access is $50 plus applicable tax for one prepaid additional year, up to 100 GB per project including masters. We verify capacity and confirm dates and activation after payment. No automatic renewal; larger collections are quoted individually.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on your collection, condition and the current queue. We confirm an estimated window with your quote. Include a birthday, reunion or other deadline in your inquiry.
