Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Cradle Films (the "Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.

1. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity under it. You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You may not share your account with others or use the Platform to impersonate anyone.

2. Your content

You retain all rights to the film information, images, trailers, and other content you upload ("Your Content"). By uploading content, you grant Cradle Films a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to display and distribute Your Content through the Platform for the purpose of operating the service.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you own or have permission to use all content you upload, including poster artwork, stills, headshots, trailers, and laurel images. Do not upload anything that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• Upload unlawful, defamatory, or harmful content
• Infringe any third party's intellectual property or privacy rights
• Distribute spam or unsolicited commercial messages
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts or the Platform's systems
• Use automated tools to scrape or overwhelm the service

4. Festival information

The Platform provides a catalogue of film festivals and their deadlines and fees for reference. While we work to keep this information accurate, deadlines and fees change frequently and we cannot guarantee accuracy. Always confirm directly with the festival before submitting.

5. AI-generated content

The Platform offers AI-assisted writing for synopses, director's statements, and social media copy. AI output is a starting point, not a final product. You are responsible for reviewing and editing AI-generated text before using it anywhere public.

6. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to the Platform or other users.

7. Disclaimer

The Platform is provided "as is". We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that the Platform will help your film get selected at any festival. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the Platform.

8. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the Platform. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
