Before acceptance into any tier, applicants may be required to participate in a 15 to 30 minute Zoom or telephone consultation with Call Sheet Media or one of its industry professionals.
During the consultation, Call Sheet Media may discuss the applicant's project, goals, stage of development, experience, expectations, readiness, and potential program fit.
Call Sheet Media reserves the sole right to accept, decline, defer, request additional information from, recommend a different tier to, or refund any applicant based on program suitability, availability, project readiness, business considerations, professional standards, rights issues, payment status, applicant conduct, or any other reason deemed appropriate by Call Sheet Media.

12.1 Money-Back Protection Before Acceptance
If Call Sheet Media determines, after review or consultation, that the selected program is not the right fit for the applicant, project, goals, or objectives, the payment made for that selected program will be refunded in full, subject to these Terms and any applicable payment-processing limitations.
12.2 Refund if Not Selected
If an applicant completes the required consultation or review process and Call Sheet Media does not select the applicant for the selected program tier, Call Sheet Media will refund the amount paid for that tier, unless the applicant has breached these Terms, failed to participate in the consultation process, submitted false information, initiated a chargeback, failed to attend a scheduled interview without timely notice, or otherwise acted in bad faith.
12.3 No Refund After Acceptance and Commencement of Work
Once an applicant is accepted and Call Sheet Media begins work, assigns personnel, provides services, prepares materials, reviews submissions, drafts copy, develops strategy, begins design, creates marketing assets, schedules program activity, provides mentorship, or otherwise performs services, payments are generally non-refundable unless otherwise required by law or expressly agreed in writing by Call Sheet Media.
12.4 Non-Refundable Additional Services
Additional services, upgrades, add-ons, resubmissions, extra revisions, rush services, custom work, third-party costs, payment-plan financing costs, third-party platform fees, press distribution costs, stock asset costs, and other specially ordered services are non-refundable once ordered, incurred, or begun unless otherwise stated in writing.
12.5 Payment Plans and Refunds
For payment plans, a refund may be limited to amounts actually paid and collected by Call Sheet Media.
If an applicant is not selected or the selected program is determined not to be the right fit before acceptance, scheduled future payments may be canceled and amounts already collected may be refunded, subject to payment processor limitations.
If a participant is accepted and then withdraws, fails to participate, misses required sessions, breaches these Terms, fails to provide required materials, or stops payment, the participant may remain responsible for all amounts due under the payment plan unless Call Sheet Media agrees otherwise in writing.

Payment information may be collected and processed by third-party payment processors. Call Sheet Media does not control all third-party privacy practices.
32. Publicity, Reviews, and Testimonials
Call Sheet Media may request permission to use participant comments, reviews, testimonials, project announcements, press releases, or success stories.
Call Sheet Media will not intentionally publish confidential project details without authorization, but participants acknowledge that press releases, publicity services, IMDb submissions, project announcements, and marketing materials may be intended for public release.
Participants may not issue press releases, public announcements, social media posts, reviews, claims, or promotional statements implying acceptance, partnership, production, financing, option, sale, representation, or endorsement by Call Sheet Media unless authorized in writing.
33. No Subterfuge
You represent and warrant that you are not using the Site or Services for deception, fraud, investigation without disclosure, competitor research, chargeback abuse, evidence-gathering in bad faith, harassment, impersonation, misrepresentation, or any other improper purpose.
If you breach this provision, Call Sheet Media may terminate Services immediately, retain amounts paid to the extent permitted by law, demand payment of outstanding amounts, and pursue available remedies.
34. Disclaimers
The Site, Site content, Services, program materials, advice, evaluations, marketing materials, third-party platform support, and deliverables are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis except as expressly stated in a written agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Call Sheet Media disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, error-free operation, and uninterrupted service.
Call Sheet Media does not warrant that the Site, Services, deliverables, third-party platforms, payment processors, email systems, scheduling platforms, or communications will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, timely, or free from harmful components.
35. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Call Sheet Media and its owners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, lost-profit, lost-opportunity, reputational, emotional distress, business interruption, data loss, or similar damages arising from or related to the Site, Services, programs, submissions, payments, third-party platforms, consultations, evaluations, deliverables, or these Terms.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Call Sheet Media's total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount actually paid by you to Call Sheet Media for the specific transaction giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some limitations may not apply to you.
36. Release
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Call Sheet Media and its owners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns from claims, liabilities, damages, demands, and causes of action arising from or related to your participation in the Services, except to the extent caused by Call Sheet Media's fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
If you are a California resident, you acknowledge California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides that a general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in that party's favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known, would have materially affected the settlement with the debtor or released party. You waive the protections of Section 1542 and any similar law to the fullest extent permitted by law.
37. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Call Sheet Media and its owners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, investigations, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and related disbursements arising from or related to:
a) Your breach of these Terms.
b) Your use of the Site or Services.
c) Your submitted materials.
d) Your violation of any law or third-party rights.
e) Your misrepresentation of authorship, ownership, rights, permissions, credits, experience, or project status.
f) Any claim that your materials infringe, misappropriate, defame, violate privacy or publicity rights, or otherwise harm a third party.
g) Your failure to obtain necessary rights, permissions, licenses, releases, or approvals.
h) Your payment disputes, chargebacks, or unpaid obligations.
This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by Call Sheet Media's fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
38. Force Majeure
Call Sheet Media will not be liable for delay, interruption, non-performance, or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, illness, labor disputes, technical failures, cyber incidents, internet outages, platform outages, third-party service failures, payment processor failures, government action, war, terrorism, civil unrest, fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic, strikes, supply chain disruption, or other events beyond reasonable control.
39. Export and Sanctions Compliance
Site content and Services may be subject to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, as well as laws of other jurisdictions.
You agree not to use the Site or Services in violation of applicable export, sanctions, or trade laws.
40. No Agency, Partnership, Employment, or Fiduciary Relationship
These Terms do not create an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, management, talent agency, fiduciary, attorney-client, or other special relationship between you and Call Sheet Media.
Call Sheet Media is not your attorney, talent agent, manager, financial advisor, tax advisor, or legal representative unless a separate written agreement expressly says otherwise.
41. No Class Actions
You agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, collective, private attorney general, or representative action.
You agree not to participate in any class action or class-wide proceeding against Call Sheet Media for claims covered by these Terms.
If a court determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall proceed only as required by law, and all other enforceable provisions shall remain in effect.
42. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site, Services, programs, payments, submissions, communications, or these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Before initiating any lawsuit, you and Call Sheet Media agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith written negotiation.
If the dispute is not resolved within thirty days after written notice of the dispute, either party may pursue available legal or equitable remedies.
The state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over disputes arising from or related to these Terms, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Each party waives any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts.
Either party may seek temporary, emergency, or injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm, preserve the status quo, protect intellectual property, prevent misuse of confidential information, address payment misconduct, or comply with limitations periods.
43. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
44. Survivability
The provisions of these Terms concerning ownership, intellectual property, confidentiality, payment obligations, refunds, chargebacks, no unsolicited submissions, warranties, release, indemnification, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, governing law, no class actions, non-circumvention where applicable, non-solicitation where applicable, and any provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination or expiration.
45. Assignment
Call Sheet Media may assign, transfer, subcontract, or delegate its rights or obligations under these Terms to an affiliate, successor, purchaser, contractor, service provider, or other entity.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without Call Sheet Media's prior written consent.
46. Waiver
Call Sheet Media's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
A waiver must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.
47. Controlling Agreement Language
If there is any conflict between these Terms and marketing materials, program descriptions, webpage copy, advertisements, emails, oral statements, social media posts, FAQs, sales copy, or informal communications, these Terms will control unless a separate written agreement signed or accepted by Call Sheet Media expressly states otherwise.
If there is any conflict between these Terms and a specific signed agreement, the specific signed agreement will control only as to the subject matter expressly covered by that agreement.
48. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any applicable Privacy Policy, payment terms, program terms, order forms, accepted written agreements, and incorporated policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and Call Sheet Media regarding the Site and Services covered by these Terms.
These Terms supersede prior and contemporaneous communications regarding the same subject matter, except for separate written agreements expressly signed or accepted by Call Sheet Media.
