I hereby acknowledge and agree that it is in my best interest to have the Material, (or portions thereof) and any comments or notes you may have there to reviewed by agents, managers, production companies, professional subscribers to this website service and that such potential consideration and your analysis are good and valuable consideration for me to enter into this submission release agreement ("Agreement"). I recognize that you have adopted a policy of refusing to accept or consider for inclusion in the Service or otherwise review any Material unless the person submitting such Material and all other authors of the Material, if any, have signed this Agreement acknowledging that he or she understands the nature of the Service and the limitations on your liability in connection with it.

In consideration of the foregoing, I hereby irrevocably warrant, represent and acknowledge the following:

The Material is submitted by me voluntarily and not in confidence, and no confidential or fiduciary relationship between you and me exists or is being created by this Agreement or by my submission of the Material, with the sole exception of fees that are agreed to upon as upfront payment in return for a type written set of notes to be delivered via email within (60 days), the length of each set of notes is left to the discretion of Company and its employees based on their creative determination. In the case of dispute regarding services or feedback, delivery of notes via email or mail will constitute full delivery of services agreed to.

You agree to schedule, in good faith, a phone call (herein to be known as “consultation”) to discuss the notes. I understand that this consultation may need to be rescheduled by you an unlimited amount of times in order to provide me with the maximum benefit and creative information exchange. If I need to reschedule, I will provide written notice via email and forfeit the consultation after 2 cancellations without approval in advance from Company. I assume the financial responsibility for any bills associated with consultation and will call into the phone number provided by Company at the appointed time. Call length of consultation is completely at the discretion of Company and employee. You reserve the right to end calls at your discretion for the reasons that include but are not limited to: use of abusive language, inappropriate comments, repetitive questioning after you are confident question has been answered to your satisfaction, repeated negative attitude and comments regarding notes, or after you feel the consultation has reached the maximum amount of information that can be exchanged.


I am at least eighteen (18) years of age, the Material is completely original with me (or to a minor extent in the public domain), I am the sole owner and author of the Material, and have the exclusive right and authority to submit the Material to you upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and none of the rights granted herein will libel or defame any third party or otherwise violate the rights of any third party, whether under copyright or otherwise.

No obligation of any kind is assumed or may be implied against you by reason of your inclusion of the Material in the Service.

Nothing contained in this Agreement nor the fact of my submission of the Material to you shall place you or any of the subscribers to the Service or any other person or entity to whom you show the Material in any different position than anyone else to whom I have not submitted the Material.

You have the option to cancel agreement or refuse service for any reason. In this case, I am entitled to a refund.

You have access to, may create or have created literary materials and ideas which may be similar or identical to the Material in theme, idea, plot, format or other respects. I will not be entitled to any compensation because of the use of any such similar or identical material which may have been independently created by a subscriber or may have come to you or any subscriber from any independent source, other than with respect to any protectable literary property ("Protectable Material") contained therein. Protectable Material means any Material which is protected as literary property under copyright law. You may use without obligation to me any Materials which are not Protectable Material or which you would be free to use if the Material had not been submitted to you by me, or which is in the public domain, or which was independently conceived by another person or entity prior to or after this submission. Further, I understand the very nature of screenwriting and development of motion pictures lends itself to similarities major and minor amongst projects including produced films, screenplays, and all other narrative mediums including but not limited to comic books, novels, graphic novels, etc.

Any notes which you receive must be posted or printed in their entirety.

If Company’s involvement leads to a successful sale, option, agent/manager signing, or the like, I grant you permission to use my name for publicity purposes.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, I hereby release you, from any and all claims, demands, and liabilities that may arise in relation to the Material or by reason of any claim now or hereafter made by me that you have used or appropriated the Material or any portion thereof. If you use any Protectable Material from the Material, provided it has not been obtained from, or independently created by, another source, and if the foregoing release is held invalid or inapplicable by any court of competent jurisdiction, I agree that your liability shall be limited to an amount which is comparable to the fair market value thereof as of the date of this Agreement, but in no event more than the applicable Writers Guild of America minimum scale payment for such Material.
