Clear expectations from the first visit.
These terms apply to the MovieTakeoff website and its inquiry and submission forms. A separate written agreement governs any publishing or distribution relationship.
Last updated: November 13, 2026
Website purpose
MovieTakeoff presents a movie and video publishing, marketing, and distribution offer and accepts inquiries and project submissions. This website is not a consumer streaming catalog, investment offer, production-financing commitment, or guarantee that any work will be accepted or commercially successful.
Accurate information and permitted use
You are responsible for providing accurate information, maintaining working contact and screener details, and only sharing material you have authority to submit. Do not use the forms to send unlawful material, malicious links, spam, account credentials, or information that infringes another person’s rights. Do not attempt to compromise the website or interfere with other users.
Evaluation permission
By submitting, you permit the review team to access the material for evaluation, retain a submission record, and contact you about the project. This does not transfer ownership or grant permission for commercial distribution or public release. Do not submit confidential material whose evaluation would require a separate confidentiality agreement unless that arrangement has been agreed first.
Separate commercial agreement
Any accepted project requires a separate written agreement defining the services, revenue share, revenue calculation and deductions, license scope, territories, channels, any exclusivity, reporting, payments, term, and termination. Discussions, a submission receipt, and this website do not replace that agreement or establish acceptance into the program.
Fees and expectations
The core offer has no upfront publishing or marketing fees and is compensated through an agreed share of sold copies. Your own production expenses are separate. No earnings, sales, audience size, press coverage, festival outcome, or specific platform placement is guaranteed. The scope and accounting details are agreed before work starts.
Rights and AI-assisted work
Disclose material AI use and any outstanding rights issues. You remain responsible for supporting the rights, licenses, permissions, and consents required for the intended use of your work. Review or acceptance of a submission does not by itself establish legal clearance or eligibility for every channel.
Resources and external links
The resource guides provide general planning information. They are not individualized legal, tax, or financial advice. External services, including screener platforms, operate under their own terms. The availability or inclusion of a link does not establish a partnership or endorsement.
Submission status and service availability
A successful submission receipt means the record was saved. Where indicated, email delivery may still be pending. The website may experience interruptions or changes. Keep copies of your work and the submission reference; do not rely on this website as the sole archive of your film or materials.
Questions
Use the contact form for questions about these terms, submission corrections, or requests to withdraw material from review. Include your reference number when one has been issued.
