CSM Mentor Program

If you are accepted into the CSM Mentor Program (the "Program"), CSM will use its best efforts to secure an offer to option or sell your concept/project ("Project"). Although we assure that you will receive an offer for your project to be optioned or sold after your successful completion of the Program, CSM cannot control the price of any such offer or transaction with any third party. The receipt of such an offer constitutes full and total fulfillment of our obligations.

You have the right to accept or decline any offer that CSM presents to you. If you accept an offer, you agree to pay CSM fifteen percent of the deal's price. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that offers to option or sell your project may come from CSM-affiliated entities or individuals.

The initial interview fee is fully refundable if you are not accepted into the Program. Additionally, if you are accepted and successfully complete the Program, but do not receive an option or sale offer for your project within twelve months of your official Program completion date, the interview fee will also be refunded. In that case, CSM will refund your initial interview fee in full. Any additional services you purchase from CSM are non-refundable.

Additional Terms and Conditions will apply upon your application or acceptance into the Program, which you agree to when you apply to the program or book your initial interview.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

You agree that the laws of the state of California will govern any claim or dispute relating to these Terms, the Site, CSM Content, your access to and use of the Site, or any combination of these items (the “Dispute”), without regard to California conflicts of laws principles. You agree to submit to, and waive any objection to, the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located within Los Angeles County, California . Before you or CSM file any lawsuit regarding a Dispute, you and CSM will attempt to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or through mediation using a mutually agreeable mediator. You and CSM will treat the existence or results of any negotiation or mediation as confidential. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty days of notice of the Dispute to the other party, the parties will be free to pursue all remedies available at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party has the right to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve the status quo, prevent irreparable harm, avoid the expiration of any applicable limitation periods, or preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors.
