Actually, we charge the archiving fee UP FRONT... and it's included in the contract on series work. That covers five years of storage. Past that point (or if the client decided against archiving) we DO charge for restoring from the archives at standard studio rates... which oddly enough, NEVER seems to be a problem... Never enough time and money to do it right...
