From time to time, the Site may offer ticketing/registration for events, submission forms (e.g., for films, projects, or programs), and donation pages processed through third-party platforms. Such offerings may be subject to additional terms presented at the time of purchase/registration/submission and those terms will control in the event of a conflict. Unless otherwise stated at checkout or required by law, all sales and fees are final and non-refundable. Donations may be tax-deductible as permitted by law; consult your tax advisor.
You agree not to misuse the Site or help anyone else do so. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:
We may suspend or terminate access for violations.
If you submit, upload, or post any content via the Site (collectively, “User Content”), you represent that you have all necessary rights to do so, that your content is accurate and lawful, and that it does not infringe any third-party rights. You grant Cucalorus a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Site and associated programs. Where separate submission agreements exist (e.g., film submissions), those agreements control.
We may remove or refuse to display User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law.
