TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Last Update: November 2020

Please read these terms and conditions of use as set out below (the “Terms”) carefully before using the RipeFind online screen rights search platform which includes the RipeFind website (the “Site”), the RipeFind mobile application (the “App”) and related Internet services (collectively with the Site and the App, the “Service”). These Terms govern your access to and use of this Service, including the messages, information, data, text, software, images and other content that make up this site (the “Content,” which content is part of this Service). These Terms exempt RipeFind Inc. (“RipeFind,” “we,” or “us”) and others from liability and/or limit our and their liability and contain other important provisions that apply to your use of this site.

1. General

(a) Our objective is to make your search experience easy and efficient. However, RipeFind does not own the Available Intellectual Property (as defined below) posted to the Service. We offer a platform that presents you with Available Intellectual Property posted and owned by Posters. This makes it easier for Finders to discover and attempt to acquire the legal screen rights to adapt, develop, or produce for the screen, said Available Intellectual Property, if available. This means we do not determine certain details such as the quality, timing, legality, ownership or the availability of Available Intellectual Property on the Service. When Finders discover Available Intellectual Property through the Service they are required to communicate directly with Posters or their representatives.

(b) In these Terms:
“Posting(s)” refers to the text, images, comments, or other information that a Finder or a Poster creates, submits, provides or uploads to the Service, or otherwise makes available through the Service, or otherwise approves the use of including, but not limited to Poster and Finder profiles, graphics, logos, icons, designs, words, titles and phrases and any Available Intellectual Property or material or information related to thereto.

“Finding” refers to the process of soliciting, finding or searching for Available Intellectual Property.

“Available Intellectual Property" refers to original literary, artistic, dramatic or musical work owned or controlled and shared or listed by Posters (as defined below) on the Service, to facilitate Finders (as defined below) in acquiring the legal screen rights to adapt, develop, or produce for the screen said Available Intellectual Property. As a Poster, you must be legally entitled to post the Available Intellectual Property that you share or list on this Service. For clarity this means only the author, publisher, representative or agent who controls the screen rights may post such property to the Service.
