Contract Dispute Over Commercial Film Production Between an Xiamen Film Company and a Client

Plaintiff Xiamen [Name] Film & Culture Co., Ltd. entered into an "Advertising Production Contract" with Defendant Fujian [Name] Auto Sales Co., Ltd., agreeing that Plaintiff would produce a brand promotional video for Defendant. The total contract price was 86 ten thousand yuan, payable in three installments, with the final payment of 25.8 ten thousand yuan due upon acceptance of the completed video after successful inspection. Plaintiff produced and delivered the finished video based on the creative script and storyboards confirmed by both parties. After reviewing the video, Defendant refused to accept it and withheld the final payment of 25.8 ten thousand yuan, claiming the video did not meet their creative expectations and visual quality standards. Plaintiff filed a lawsuit requesting Defendant to pay the outstanding production fees and liquidated damages.

The court ruled that the defendant shall pay the plaintiff the remaining advertising production fee of 25.8 ten thousand yuan, plus liquidated damages for overdue payment calculated at a daily rate of 0.03% on the principal amount of 25.8 ten thousand yuan (from the due date of the final payment until the date of actual full payment). The defendant shall bear all litigation costs in this case.
