By submitting material and completing payment, you agree agree to the following conditions.

1. Intellectual Property

All scripts, treatments, outlines, and related materials submitted for review remain the sole intellectual property of the writer.

Submission of material does not transfer ownership, rights, or claim of authorship to Screenwriter’s Edge or Terry Dray.

No part of the submitted material will be reproduced, adapted, or used beyond the scope of the agreed service.

2. Confidentiality

All submitted material is treated as confidential.

Scripts and accompanying documents are read solely for the purpose of providing the commissioned service. They will not be shared, distributed, or disclosed to third parties without the writer’s explicit consent.

Written reports and development notes remain private between the writer and Screenwriter’s Edge.

While all reasonable care is taken to maintain confidentiality, writers are responsible for securing their own copyright protection prior to submission.

3. Scope of Services

Each service tier is defined on the Services page and is limited to the deliverables stated therein.

Script Doctor services provide structural analysis, development guidance, and positioning insight. They do not include:

• Line-by-line copy editing

• Ghostwriting or rewriting

• Production packaging

• Legal advice

• Industry representation

• Guarantees of option, commissioning, or sale

All feedback is provided in professional good faith and represents independent critical assessment.

4. Payment and Booking

Work commences upon confirmation of payment and receipt of submission.

Due to limited capacity (two scripts per month), booking secures a reading slot within the stated turnaround window.

Once reading has begun, fees are non-refundable.

5. Turnaround

The standard turnaround time is approximately three weeks from confirmed submission, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

For services that include a development session, scheduling will be arranged following delivery of the written report.

6. Limitation of Liability

Screenwriter’s Edge provides analysis and development guidance only. The writer retains full responsibility for all creative decisions and subsequent use of the material.

No liability is accepted for the commercial performance, submission outcome, or production prospects of any script.
