Use of this website
Use FilmTakeoff for lawful inquiries, project evaluation and general information. Do not impersonate another person, submit unauthorized material, interfere with the service or use the forms for spam. You must have the authority to share the information and materials you provide.
Submission and evaluation
By submitting, you permit the team and service providers supporting the process to receive, store and review your information for evaluation and follow-up. You retain your underlying rights. A submission does not transfer ownership, grant distribution rights, create a confidential relationship beyond applicable obligations, or guarantee acceptance.
A separate agreement comes first
Publishing, marketing or distribution services require a separate written agreement. That agreement defines scope, rights, exclusivity if any, revenue sharing, deductions, reporting, payment, duration and termination. General website descriptions do not replace those terms or constitute a binding offer for a particular project.
Commercial outcomes
No sales, revenue, audience size, festival selection or placement with a particular retailer or streaming service is guaranteed. The no-upfront-fee offer refers to FilmTakeoff publishing and marketing fees. There is no separate FilmTakeoff service bill beyond the agreed revenue share. Transaction-level deductions, such as channel fees, taxes or refunds, must be defined in the agreement.
Rights and AI disclosures
You are responsible for accurately describing ownership, licenses, permissions and existing commitments. Disclose AI-generated or AI-assisted elements, relevant tool restrictions and voice or likeness permissions. Do not submit material that infringes another party’s rights or misrepresents participation or endorsement.
Resources and external links
Guides are general educational information, not individualized legal, financial or tax advice. Obtain independent advice where appropriate. External services have their own requirements and policies; their inclusion does not establish a partnership or endorsement.
Questions and changes
Contact the team through the contact form about these terms, an existing submission or a concern about material on the site. Website content and these terms may be updated; any signed project agreement governs that project according to its own terms.
