Terms of service... the boring stuff.
Welcome to Spectacle (“we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our services, website, and submission platform. By accessing our website or submitting content to Spectacle, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and legally authorized to enter into contracts to use our services. If you are submitting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to do so.
2. Voluntary Submission
By submitting any creative material (including but not limited to ideas, treatments, scripts, pitch decks, pilot episodes, or video content) (“Submission”), you acknowledge and agree that:
- Your submission is entirely voluntary and unsolicited.
- Spectacle is under no obligation to review, respond to, or act upon your submission.
- No contract, partnership, or agency relationship is created solely by submission.
Original Ownership and Rights
You represent and warrant that:
- You are the legal owner or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit the content.
- Your submission does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property or other legal rights.
- You indemnify Spectacle against any claims related to ownership or originality.
4. No Confidential Relationship
Unless a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is signed in advance, your submission is not considered confidential. You agree that:
- Spectacle may have or may receive submissions from others that are similar to yours in theme, concept, format, or structure.
- You will not hold Spectacle liable for any perceived similarities between your submission and any existing or future projects.
5. Review and Internal Use License
You grant Spectacle a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to internally and externally review, discuss, and evaluate your submission with employees, partners, and advisors.
6. Right to Decline or Remove Submissions
Spectacle reserves the right to reject, ignore, remove, or terminate review of any submission at any time, with or without explanation.
7. No Guarantee of Placement or Deal
There is no guarantee that your submission will receive feedback, be pitched to platforms, be developed, or result in any agreement, partnership, or deal. Welcome to Spectacle provides access—not outcomes.
8. Creative Attribution
If Spectacle enters into a separate agreement with you, terms regarding credit, involvement, and profit participation will be outlined in that contract. Submission alone does not entitle you to attribution or compensation.
9. No Obligation to Notify or Return
Spectacle is not required to notify you of review results, return any submitted material, or provide explanations regarding rejection.
10. Content Withdrawal
You may request removal of your submission at any time by contacting us. Upon request, we will cease further consideration of your project and delete stored copies unless otherwise required by law.
11. Privacy Policy
By using our services, you agree to our data collection and handling practices. This includes use of cookies, analytics tools, and secure storage of your contact and submission data. For full details, see our [Privacy Policy].
12. Third-Party Sharing
Spectacle may share your submission with streaming platforms, agents, producers, or development partners strictly for evaluation and pitch purposes. We do not share or sell your data to advertisers or unrelated third parties.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law:
- Spectacle is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of our services or submissions.
- You use Welcome to Spectacle at your own risk.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spectacle and its employees, officers, partners, and affiliates from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your use of the services or submitted materials.
15. Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. Any legal disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Seatlle, WA, unless you and Spectacle agree to binding arbitration as an alternative resolution method.
16. Termination of Access
We reserve the right to deny or suspend access to our platform or services at any time, with or without cause or prior notice.
17. Intellectual Property
All website design, branding, and original materials on our site are the property of Welcome to Spectacle. You may not copy, distribute, or modify any part of our site without permission.
18. DMCA and Copyright Infringement
