Terms and Conditions of Use

Terms & Conditions:

Effective date: February 25, 2011

Hi there. 

ScriptFrenzy.org is provided by the Office of Letters and Light free of charge to any user who agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing ScriptFrenzy.org or using any of its features. By accessing ScriptFrenzy.org or using any of its features, you agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions hereof. If you do not agree to be bound by any of such terms and conditions, you may not access ScriptFrenzy.org or use any of its features. The Office of Letters and Light reserves the right to change the terms and conditions hereof without prior notice at any time and any such change shall be effective immediately upon posting the changed Agreement on ScriptFrenzy.org. The effective date indicated at the top of this page will be updated to indicate that changes have been made. Whenever changes are made, registered users will also be asked to review and agree to the new terms upon login.

Right on.

FORUMS
Our forums (message boards) are designed to foster communication between participants. As the one place where Script Frenzy participants from all over the world can gather to chat, cajole, and procrastinate, the forums are designed to keep spirits (and word counts) soaring. Even if it feels a little scary at first, we ask you to dive right in.

That said, there are certain kinds of posts we do not allow on the forums. Anyone posting abusive, sexually explicit, hateful, or threatening material (or any other stuff that may violate any applicable laws), will have their Script Frenzy account deleted and will be banned from the site.

We will also file a formal complaint with the offending party's internet service provider, and, if we deem it necessary, with their local police department. The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

Several of our forums are G-rated. These will be clearly indicated with a "sun" icon, and are approved for all-ages. We ask that when posting in them, you refrain from using curse words and avoid discussions of violence or sexuality.

Outside of the G-rated forums, strong language is acceptable only in the body of posts or the body of your excerpts, so long as it's not used in a hateful or attacking way. We do ask, however, that all participants refrain from using curse words in their Usernames, displayed novel titles, and subjects of their posts. Filtering software in schools and libraries often renders entire threads invisible when it detects a single instance of foul language, so one expletive-filled Username can make a forum unreadable to participants using public computers.

We will remove posts we deem harassing or offensive, but we will not be held liable for anything you stumble across that may anger or offend you. By signing up for Script Frenzy, you are acknowledging that all posts made to our forums express the views and opinions of the author, and not the administrators, moderators, or webmaster (except for posts by these people).

You also agree that the webmaster, administrator, and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move, or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user, you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party, the webmaster, administrator, and moderators cannot be held responsible for any security breach that may lead to the data being compromised. The site is also crawled and cached by many major search engines, please be mindful that anything you post on the forums is essentially public. Be wary of posting other personal information such as your address, school, place of work, or phone number for this reason.

COOKIES AND EMAIL ADDRESSES
Script Frenzy uses cookies to store information on your local computer. These cookies serve only to make using the site more convenient for you. Your email address is used by this site to confirm your registration details and password, and to send out Script Frenzy pep talks, regional emails, site notifications, and other Script Frenzy-related messages. We do not share or sell participants' information, and your email address will not be made visible to others.

LITERARY PREDATORS, MARKETING, AND SELF-PROMOTION
We recommend all participants be very skeptical of anyone they meet on the site who claims to be an agent or publisher. Especially if that person asks for an upfront payment in exchange for services. If you are approached by someone wielding a too-good-to-be-true deal, please let us know, and we'll investigate.

We have two forums for marketing and self-promotion: "Special offers from Script Frenzy sponsors" and "Marketing, Self Promo & Emporium." In the "Special Offers from Script Frenzy Sponsors" forum, approved Script Frenzy corporate sponsors may post directly about their products and services. In the "Marketing, Self Promo & Emporium" forum, all Script Frenzy participants may post. Apart from approved Script Frenzy corporate sponsors who are posting in the "Special Offers" forum, only Script Frenzy participants and members of the media looking to interview Script Frenzy participants may post in the Script Frenzy forums. If you are not a Script Frenzy participant and would like to offer a special discount on your product or services to participants, please contact our staff with your offer instead, and allow us to post the information on your behalf. 

UPLOADING YOUR NOVEL TO OUR SITE
During the event, you will be given the opportunity to upload a version of your script to our site for page-counting purposes. All drafts uploaded to our site are counted and deleted immediately by a computer program. We do not retain or read copies of any pages uploaded. To protect yourself from fears of thievery, though, we ask you to scramble the text of your script before uploading it. Instructions for easy scrambling will be provided on the page you use to upload your script.
