Take a 50% deposit to lock the shoot date, bill the balance on final delivery, and release final exports only after payment clears.
Production services are often exempt, but delivered physical media or broad commercial licensing may be taxable — itemize separately.

Include two or three rounds in the base fee and bill extra rounds separately. State the cap in your terms so unlimited re-edits are billable.
Charge licensing as its own line and define the granted usage — organic social, paid ads, broadcast — in the terms. Broader rights mean a higher fee.
Yes — a 50% deposit secures the date and covers pre-production. Bill the balance on final delivery and withhold final files until paid.
