Terms relating to Script Coverage, Screenwriting, Script doctoring and creative writing services:

  • By submitting your Creative Materials to Industrial Scripts, you hereby agree that:
  • You are submitting the Submitted Material voluntarily and not in confidence and no confidential relationship is intended or created between us by the submission of the Submitted Material.
  • You warrant that you have originally created the Submitted Material, that no one else to your knowledge has any right to it and you believe the Submitted Material to be original, OR you hold the underlying rights, if the Submitted Material is based on another work. However, you recognise that other persons, including Industrial Scripts or Our employees or affiliate companies, may have submitted to IS or others, or made public, or may in the future create and submit, or make public, similar or identical material that We may have the right to use, and you understand that you will not be entitled to any compensation because of Our use of other similar or identical material.
  • You understand and agree that Our use of material containing features or elements similar or identical to those contained in the Submitted Material will not entitle you to any compensation if We determine that it has an independent legal right to use that other material (for example, because the features or elements are not new or novel, were not originated by you (or the writer of the underlying work), or were or may hereafter be independently created and submitted by other persons, including Industrial Script’s employees). You hereby indemnify Us from liability for any and all loss of or damage to the Submitted Material.
  • You agree to use the Script Report and analytical material delivered to you for private consultation and educational purposes only. The report itself is the property and copyright of Industrial Scripts, and the comments contained within the report is for use only by the individual Buyer. The script coverage service you purchased is an analysis service, not a marketing or promotional one. Industrial Scripts reports are not marketing or promotional tools. Any unauthorised dissemination or copying of the report, and any use or disclosure of any information contained in them, is strictly prohibited and may be illegal. These comments, the numerical scores we award to projects and the “verdict” We deliver on the Creative Material, and Our company name, may not be used without prior written permission in any public or private arena to endorse, market, or promote Creative Material in any way. In addition, the Industrial Scripts name and comments supplied by Us in Reports may not be used in any funding applications, business plans or financial or creative proposals without Our express prior written consent.
  • We aim (but do not guarantee) to deliver all Reports by return email to the Buyer within 21 days of the Buyer submitting the corresponding Creative Materials, post-checkout. For clarity the booking is not officially formalised until the Creative Materials have been uploaded successfully by the Buyer, and Industrial Scripts cannot be held liable for any delays resulting from the Buyer’s failure to complete the upload steps correctly using the automated system designed by Us to handle submissions (DevKing).
  • In the event that the Buyer makes an error during checkout, uploads the wrong Creative Material or fails to upload their creative materials correctly, We reserve the right to charge a Manual Administration Fee (MAF) to correct the issue and/or simply proceed and assess whatever material was originally uploaded. We are not obliged to offer an alternative or secondary upload option, in the event the Buyer makes an error in the original upload. This policy is referred to in greater length here. We also reserve the right to select in Our absolute judgement, the Industrial Scripts Consultant/ reviewer to provide the Reports, and the Buyer acknowledges that due to complex workloads, requests for the services of a specific Consultant/ Reviewer cannot be guaranteed and is not usual practice so to supply. In the event the Buyer does select a specific consultant at script submission stage, it may not be possible to meet the anticipated turnaround and the Buyer hereby acknowledges that delays may ensue as a result. For clarity and the avoidance of doubt the Buyer is contracting Industrial Scripts the company to ultimately deliver the service in question, and it is Our final decision which Consultant to assign the work to. No refunds are possible in the event of a request for a specific Consultant remaining unfulfilled and failure to provide the services of a specific Consultant does not constitute a breach of this agreement.
  • Our delivery timescales are goals rather than guarantees. In a human, bespoke (every screenplay report We produce can be considered custom, rather than off-the-shelf) service business, with continuously shifting workloads and volatile, unpredictable submission volumes in play, We deem it reasonable to deliver all reports within 21 days of successful submission. For clarity and the avoidance of doubt, however, this is a goal rather than a guarantee. In the event We fail to deliver the Buyer’s report within 21 days we will consider but not guarantee appropriate compensation, typically in the form of discounted alternative script coverage. In the event the Buyer has purchased Our Fast-Turnaround option in addition to their script notes, and We fail to honour this deadline then a refund will be provided pro-rata, covering the number of days by which the deadline was missed, based on the extra Fast-Turnaround fee only. For clarity, the additional Fast-Turnaround fee is the only financial aspect of the booking which is affected by a failure to deliver within certain timescales. The “core” fee paid for the script notes (even if a Fast-Turnaround option was added) falls under usual IS terms and conditions of sale. For further information please visit this help desk article.
  • We accept the submission of Creative Materials via our proprietary screenplay handling software, DevKing, in Adobe PDF form only. The only other format we accept is Final Draft format (.fdx). We accept – and insist – on this format for Script Proofing and Polishing bookings only. For these bookings we will only accept and deliver using Final Draft documents. The Buyer should receive notification by return email that their Creative Materials have been received. Any Creative Materials submitted either by hard copy or in person will be destroyed.
  • We guarantee to provide the Buyer with a certain length of Report according to word count, dependent on which Our service Buyer has purchased. These word counts are clearly specified on the IS Website and represent the minimum volume of written feedback the Buyer is guaranteed to receive. In the event We provide additional pages, beyond the minimum guaranteed, these pages are to be regarded as an additional bonus but are not guaranteed, nor should be expected, on any future reports. In the event We deem a script to be of a certain standard (at our exclusive discretion), we may invite the Buyer to participate in our free bonus script marketing programme, Talent Connector. For clarity and the avoidance of doubt this programme is a free, not-for-profit add-on, separate and distinct from the transaction which occurs between Us and the Buyer involving script services. Its presence and availability is not guaranteed, and is available on a rolling basis at Our sole discretion. Through engaging Us to provide script services We guarantee the delivery of the service in question as described on our website but this does not include Talent Connector. Talent Connector is a complimentary, non-contracted add-on.
  • Creative Materials submitted to Us must conform to Industrial Script’s word or page lengths as specified below. Creative Materials which exceed the page lengths specified below are subject to additional fees of $2.00 USD per additional page if they contravene the page limits below. Payment must be received in full for projects which exceed the specified page lengths, before work will commence on the Report:
    • Logline: 30 word summary of a film or TV series.
    • Short Script: screenplay for a short film under 20 pgs.
    • Teleplay Drama: screenplay for a TV episode under 60 pgs.
    • Teleplay Comedy: screenplay for a TV episode under 30 pgs.
    • Treatment: extended film synopsis under 20 pgs.
    • Feature Film Script: screenplay for a film under 120 pgs.
  • The Buyer may fully cancel the Report service and receive a full refund (via PayPal) any time up to 2 hours after the time of their payment providing the booking was not made with a “Fast-Turnaround” request attached. After this time no refunds are permitted, as work has begun and the service will have been deemed to have been delivered within two hours of the Order, and therefore will be exempt from the “Cooling Off” period of the Consumer Contract Regulations or the Distance Selling Regulations. Further, in the event of specific service unavailability, We reserve the right to deliver an alternate service of equal or more financial value, in its stead OR deliver a full refund to the Buyer, at our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt refunds will only be processed in truly exceptional circumstances (as determined and judged by us) and it is stated Industrial Scripts protocol to deliver an alternate service, in this scenario. As stated above, in the event of a Buyer complaint relating to the quality of the service delivered, it is IS policy to firstly investigate said claims, and then to work with Buyers to resolve their concerns in a satisfactory manner through complimentary replacement service(s). Only in the event of truly exceptional circumstances will refunds be considered, and these are offered at Our sole discretion.
  • No termination of this Agreement and no acts of cancellation pertinent to the Submitted Material (such as Us returning it to you) will be deemed to affect our respective rights under this Agreement and all rights will survive any termination or acts.
  • Contact of any kind between Buyer and our contractors is strictly prohibited unless the prior express written consent of Industrial Scripts has been obtained. All payments between Buyer and Our freelance contractors must be processed through Industrial Scripts both for work introduced by Us and for any follow on work between the Buyer and any of Our freelance contractors, either for the same Job or another Job. Payment (or attempt of) or commissioning of work of any kind outside of Industrial Scripts is a breach of these terms and conditions unless the prior express written consent of Industrial Scripts has been obtained. Such payment (or attempt of) will entail both Buyer and Industrial Scripts’ contractor(s) to be in breach of their respective agreements with us. The Buyer will be liable for any loss of business and legal expenses that We may incur in recovering lost fees. Buyers must report attempts or offers to make payment outside of Industrial Scripts by their designated contractor to Industrial Scripts immediately. For clarity, whilst a Buyer may come in to contact with one of Our contractors on a script editing or in-person booking, no communication outside the designated working hours is permitted, Buyer is not permitted to exchange contact details with our contractor, or request them, and our contractor (contractually) will be unable to deliver or receive these details. All and any follow on work (including, but not limited to: script doctoring and re-write work; script coverage and consultancy; screenwriting commissions and creative writing commissions; personal script editing be it remote or in person) between the Buyer and one of our contractors must be processed through Industrial Scripts.
  • Please note that while Industrial Scripts makes endeavours to secure all customer IP on secure servers, we cannot be held responsible for data uploaded to our servers by 3rd parties in the event of a hack, data breach or IP leak. Users and customers upload information, documents, and intellectual property to our sites and servers at their own risk.

Such measures shall include the highest degree of care that the receiving party utilises to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature. The Buyer agrees to notify the Company in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information of the disclosing party, which may come to the receiving party’s attention.
  • Buyer may cancel and receive a full refund (via PayPal) at any time up to full days after the time of their booking. After this time has elapsed, no refunds are possible. To cancel, buyer must contact Us via our knowledge base and support ticket system advising Us of their booking details, and which course date they would like to be transferred to (if applicable). In the event the Buyer has purchased an online training course, due to the digital nature of the access and delivery, no refunds are possible from the point of sale. This also applies where Buyer has applied a coupon or discount to any booking. Once access to the online course has been delivered no refunds of any kind are possible.
  • In the event Buyer is unable to attend on the course date selected, they are permitted change-of-date opportunity where they may transfer their booking to another course date. Buyer is only entitled to change their booking once, and We reserve the right to transfer this re-arranged booking again in the event the new course date selected is sold out.
  • We reserve the right to cancel or postpone live Training Courses at any point, as we see fit, by issuing Buyer with a full refund (via PayPal). We cannot be held responsible for travel, accommodation or sundry other costs incurred and related to the booking and recommend that all Buyers purchase refundable accommodation and travel.
  • Where any non-refundable deposits are paid to secure a place on Our course/s and the Attendee is considered a ‘no show’, We reserve the right to retain this deposit and Your statutory rights will not be affected. If a deposit is paid and the place is cancelled less than (one) week from the date of the training event, this deposit may be forfeited.

More benefits will be added over time.
  • For clarity and the avoidance of doubt OVERDRIVE’s legal status is that of a Digital Download Product. Due to the digital, non-returnable nature of many of the services and products, no refunds are possible after purchase/application/checkout. Such Digital Format Products are specifically excluded from any rights under the Consumer Contracts and Distance Selling Regulations, and through agreeing to these Terms and Conditions of sale you hereby agree to waive your rights under the -day cooling off period.
  • Subscriptions cost £228 and are for a minimum of  calendar months from the date of purchase, in all cases. We endeavor to assist members with subscription fees by permitting them to spread payments through monthly payments of £19. Members must have an active payment facility in place at all times. OVERDRIVE is not offered on a “try before you buy” or trial basis. Subscriptions auto-renew on a -month minimum term, annually. Industrial Scripts makes best endeavours to contact members via email and inform them of pending or imminent auto-renewals however the onus rests with members to proactively reach out in order to cancel their subscription in advance of the auto-renewal date ( months from the original point of sign up). Industrial Scripts cannot be held responsible for subscriptions which auto-renew in the event that members do not make a careful note of their renewal date, and take the necessary steps to cancel their subscription.
  • Post-checkout OVERDRIVE offers a short application process and we reserve the right to decline or approve admission at our sole discretion. In the case of a declined application (as decided by us) all monies transferred will be refunded in full via PayPal/Stripe within  days. The onus rests exclusively with the applicant to promptly deliver the necessary materials to support their application, and they will be requested by us at least twice post-checkout. We reserve the right to accept or decline members as we see fit, whether the prospective member has followed instructions and submitted further application materials, or not, and whether they have sent these materials, joined the member forum, used member benefits as yet, or not. In the event any applicant applies but fails to submit materials to support their application, such as a CV or covering letter, their application may be provisionally approved, with temporary restrictions on some services and member benefits. In the event of a provisional or full approval no subsequent refunds are possible, and the full annual membership fee is due.
  • Further to the above, please do not apply/purchase either an annual OR pay monthly membership or proceed in any way with checkout unless you are % committed financially to an annual membership involving total payments owing of £19. After the point of sale, we enter a binding contract and no refunds are available. The full annual membership fee is due to us in the event you are accepted (at our sole discretion).
  • OVERDRIVE operates a strict policy regarding derogatory, inflammatory or offensive comments or language in the member forum(s). We reserve the right to eject members who post insulting, controversial or inflammatory messages or content in our members’ area(s). In the event you are banned or removed from the members’ area, continued membership and use of the wider OVERDRIVE member benefits system are permitted but no refunds or compensation will be given.
  • Whilst networking is heavily encouraged, the establishment of splinter or satellite groups is not. Those seeking to establish splinter groups using introductions initially facilitated by OVERDRIVE will have their membership revoked, with no refund. In addition, those soliciting for paid script coverage or development work of any kind (be it after an initial free peer-to-peer type interaction, or otherwise), training, or any other product or service which conflicts with the interests of Industrial Scripts will have their membership revoked, with no refund.
  • Unique coupon codes can be used by members alone. For clarity: members’ friends, family, colleagues or other affiliated parties cannot write a script and submit it through a members’ discount. Members must be the copyright holder.
  • Delivery of weekly or time-dependent products and services (such as free content, or live networking events) is seasonal. No content is delivered, services provided, or events take place on Bank Holidays and from th December to the nd week of January.
  • Industrial Scripts is committed to helping writers and filmmakers and allows members to spread their £228 annual membership payment over instalments of £19. For members who join on said pay-monthly subscription, acceptance of these terms and conditions represents a binding  month commitment (in the event of a successful application, as determined by us). Our payment processor will attempt to take payment on the same day every month, corresponding to the date you joined. Should payment fail to clear, we will be notified and payment will be attempted two further times. If these attempts are unsuccessful – or you should cancel or even fail to set up an active payment facility initially – we will contact you to arrange alternative payment. Should any one or more payments be delayed by more than  days we may take further action which may include, but not be limited to, passing your details to credit collection agencies and initiating Small Claims proceedings.
  • All content delivered to members is copyright Industrial Scripts and may not be shared, distributed or circulated in any way.
  • For mentorship members, any meetings (virtual or otherwise) that are due to take place as part of your membership are subject to a  day cancellation policy. If you cancel within  days of the meeting, it will be considered used and no re-scheduling is possible.
  • Affiliate earnings are paid on the last day of the month, in arrears, via PayPal. Users must have an active PayPal account in order to receive affiliate payments, and the script developers you refer to us must spend north of £150 with us in one booking in order to qualify. Earnings are paid on the customer’s first booking with us, only.
  • Certain benefits are not time-dependent and may not be delivered immediately upon sign-up. Delivery time and date is down to Industrial Scripts discretion but wherever possible benefits will be delivered as soon as humanly possible.
  • Member coupons cannot be combined with occasional other coupons we may make available to the wider public.
  • As part of their subscription members are able to attend (digitally or online) certain live events and training courses. Places at these events are available on a first come, first served basis, and are capped according to venue size and other external factors. Whilst best endeavours will be made by Industrial Scripts to accommodate members at events this is goal rather than a guarantee, and upon the announcement of courses and events members are advised to move swiftly to avoid disappointment. Further, Industrial Scripts reserves the right to either postpone or permanently cancel events or events series’ based on member attendance and/or engagement levels.
  • Industrial Scripts reserves the right to discontinue OVERDRIVE and deliver a full or partial refund (depending on the number of months remaining on a user’s subscription at the time of cancellation) without being liable for any lost earnings, time or any other damages.

ICO Protection Policy:

Complaints Policy & Procedure:

  • Complaints to Industrial Scripts are rare. However, We always take complaints regarding our services very seriously and will always work with Buyers to resolve these complaints satisfactorily.
  • To make a complaint to the company, in the first instance please raise a support ticket here with details of your complaint and explaining how You feel We contravened Our Terms and Conditions in our dealing with you.
  • Please note, in the case of script development services and Reports, this is an inherently subjective area and we pride ourselves on providing Reports which are honest, and constructive in their criticism. Nonetheless, it is in the nature of script development generally for individuals to disagree with one another, or feel that criticism or praise is particularly valid, or unjust. Likewise it is an indisputable reality that although writers and filmmakers feel they are prepared for criticism of their work, and able to deal with it in a thoroughly professional manner, history has proved that this is not always the case. Any Complaints about our Reports occur against this backdrop, which is not always a straightforward matter of opinion. For the avoidance of doubt, refunds will only be processed in truly exceptional circumstances and it is stated Industrial Scripts protocol to deliver a replacement service, free or partially free of charge, in the event that We concur with You that the report delivered was unacceptable. As stated above, in the event of a Buyer complaint relating to the quality of the service delivered, it is IS policy to firstly investigate said claims, and then to work with Buyers to resolve their concerns in a satisfactory manner through complimentary replacement service(s). Only in the event of truly exceptional circumstances will refunds be considered, and these are offered at Our sole discretion.
  • As stated above we are keen to work with Buyers to resolve complaints, however we treat any deliberately mischievous, slanderous, libellous, defamatory or malicious claims or comments that may harm Our Company or Services very seriously, and would suggest Buyers seek legal advice before distributing any negative views, comments or observations in any public or private forum, platform or arena including but not limited to: websites, online discussion forums, journals, articles, social networking sites and any other media be it public or private.

We aim (but do not guarantee) to respond to all bespoke queries (containing genuine questions not already answered in the knowledge base) within 72 hours of receipt. This is an aim rather than a guarantee.

We encourage all users to thoroughly consult the knowledge base before opening a support ticket.
  • Regarding the free, bolt-on Talent Connector programme (separate from our script coverage services) that we offer at our sole discretion sometimes to clients, no bespoke support of any kind is offered or will be delivered.
  • We are unable to answer (customer) queries via any other channel (including all social media platforms, and email) other than this knowledge base and support ticket platform.
  • Through using this site or purchasing a product or service of any kind from us you hereby accept this scope and method of support policy.
