Independent Film Streaming & Promotion Agreement

1. Parties and purpose

This agreement is between the person or organization submitting the audiovisual work (“Filmmaker”) and LOOK2SCREEN (“Platform”). It governs the Platform's limited right to review, host, stream, exhibit, and promote an accepted submission.

2. Ownership stays with the filmmaker

The Filmmaker keeps ownership of the film and related intellectual property. This agreement does not transfer copyright or ownership to LOOK2SCREEN.

3. Non-exclusive license

If LOOK2SCREEN accepts the submission for publication, the Filmmaker grants LOOK2SCREEN a non-exclusive license to host, reproduce as technically necessary for delivery, stream, publicly exhibit, display, and commercially exploit the accepted film through LOOK2SCREEN and its associated website or applications. Commercial exploitation may include ad-supported/AVOD viewing, subscription-supported viewing, sponsorships, promotional uses, and other lawful monetization methods offered by LOOK2SCREEN.

The license also permits LOOK2SCREEN to use the film title, synopsis, credits, poster, still images, trailer, short excerpts, and other submitted promotional materials to identify, market, advertise, and promote the film and LOOK2SCREEN.

4. Territory and term

The territory is the territory selected by the Filmmaker in the submission form. If no restriction is selected, the license is worldwide.

The license begins only when LOOK2SCREEN accepts and publishes the film. The Filmmaker may request removal. LOOK2SCREEN may also remove or suspend a title for rights concerns, policy violations, technical problems, legal requirements, or other reasonable platform reasons.

5. Rights and authority

The Filmmaker represents and warrants that they own, control, or have obtained all rights, licenses, permissions, releases, and authorizations necessary to submit the work and grant the rights described here. This includes, as applicable, underlying story or screenplay rights, music and sound recordings, compositions, performances, artwork, footage, trademarks, locations, releases, and other third-party material.

The Filmmaker is responsible for the accuracy of those representations and for obtaining and maintaining the rights necessary for the submitted content. The Filmmaker must not knowingly provide false, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information concerning ownership, licensing, permissions, or other rights.

LOOK2SCREEN may request chain-of-title documents, licenses, releases, music clearances, or other evidence before publication or at any reasonable time. Submission of a film does not by itself prove that all rights have been cleared.

If a Filmmaker falsely represents that they have the necessary rights, submits content without the required rights or permissions, or otherwise provides materially false or misleading rights information, LOOK2SCREEN may reject, suspend, restrict, or remove the content and may take other appropriate action. The Filmmaker remains responsible for the rights representations they make and for rights problems arising from content they submit. LOOK2SCREEN does not assume responsibility for a Filmmaker's failure to obtain necessary rights or for false or misleading information provided by the Filmmaker. Nothing in this agreement is intended to waive or limit any responsibility that cannot legally be waived or limited.

6. Filmmaker monetization threshold and payment

LOOK2SCREEN does not owe or pay the Filmmaker money merely because a submission is made, accepted, published, streamed, viewed, or generates advertising activity. Before monetization, the Filmmaker receives no revenue allocation, payout, or other payment from LOOK2SCREEN for the submitted content.

The standard LOOK2SCREEN monetization threshold is 3,000 qualified watch hoursfor the Filmmaker's accepted content. Qualified watch hours are calculated from LOOK2SCREEN's playback analytics and are intended to represent legitimate viewing activity. Until the applicable threshold is reached and the Filmmaker is marked monetization-eligible, any qualifying platform revenue generated during the pre-monetization period remains platform revenue and is not allocated to the Filmmaker.

After the threshold is reached, revenue sharing begins only according to the applicable written revenue-share terms, including the agreed revenue-share percentage and payout threshold. Reaching the watch-hour threshold does not guarantee a particular amount of money.

7. No guaranteed acceptance, payment, or rights clearance by LOOK2SCREEN

Submitting a film does not guarantee acceptance, publication, audience reach, licensing, distribution, payment, or any particular result. Any future revenue share, paid license, advertising arrangement, acquisition, or third-party distribution deal must be covered by a separate written agreement unless expressly stated otherwise.

8. Filmmaker control and other distribution

This is a non-exclusive arrangement. Unless the parties later sign a separate agreement, the Filmmaker remains free to distribute the film through other platforms and channels.

9. Content and compliance

The Filmmaker must comply with LOOK2SCREEN's submission rules and applicable law. The submission must not contain pornography or sexually explicit adult content as prohibited by the submission form. LOOK2SCREEN may reject or remove content that violates its policies or creates a legal or safety concern.

10. Removal requests

A Filmmaker may request removal of an accepted title by contacting LOOK2SCREEN through its published support channel. Removal requests are subject to any separate written agreement, legal obligation, or rights issue that requires continued availability for a limited period.

11. No agency relationship

This agreement does not make LOOK2SCREEN the Filmmaker's agent, manager, employee, partner, or legal representative. Neither party may bind the other unless separately authorized in writing.

12. Electronic acceptance

By checking the agreement acceptance box on the LOOK2SCREEN submission form and submitting the film, the Filmmaker electronically accepts this agreement and the version identified there. LOOK2SCREEN records the accepted version and acceptance time with the submission.
