Story Materials Submission; No Contest or Sweepstakes

This Website provides you the opportunity to submit story materials for us to evaluate whether we are willing to animate your story. We require no consideration from you in order for us to evaluate your story materials; and likewise we have no obligation to do so or to respond if you do. Your submission does not constitute an entry into a contest or sweepstakes; there are no prizes and any consideration will be subject to a later negotiation between you or your parent or legal guardian or us. You understand that you must register in connection with your submission of story materials so that we may, where applicable, seek consent from your parent or legal guardian to use such story materials, or communicate with you regarding such story materials if you are legally permitted to consent to any use of such story materials if we were to animate your story. You understand that we have no obligation to animate any story materials you submit, and you grant us the limited right to listen to your story materials for the purpose of considering whether we wish to animate your story, and if so we will use your registration information solely for the purpose of contacting you to seek consents associated with any further use of your story. If we are willing to consider animating your story, you or your parent or legal guardian will need to execute a release and license pursuant to which we will have broad rights to use your story within the context of our animation, which you or they may do or not do in your or their discretion. While your submission does not require you to agree to such a release or consent in advance, you understand that we will be unwilling to animate your story materials without such a release and license agreement.
