Collaboration Access

CROWN BOOTH — SHARED TERMS OF USE AND CLICKWRAP AGREEMENT

These terms apply to all users of Crown Booth services regardless of which Crown Booth entity you are contracting with. Entity-specific terms, governing law, and jurisdiction-specific provisions follow in the sections below.

1. Acceptance

By clicking accept, checking the acceptance box, typing your name, or otherwise completing the designated Crown Booth acceptance flow, you agree to be bound by these terms and the entity-specific terms applicable to your relationship. Acceptance is effective on submission and constitutes a binding agreement.

2. Eligibility and Authority

You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you accept on behalf of a company, group, or other entity, you represent that you have full authority to bind that entity. Crown Booth may require evidence of that authority at any time.

3. Electronic Signature and Records

Your electronic acceptance constitutes your legally valid electronic signature. Crown Booth may rely on acceptance records, timestamps, version records, IP-derived records, user-agent records, email records, and related data as evidence of your assent. You agree not to challenge the validity of these terms solely on the basis that acceptance was provided electronically.

4. No Partnership, Ownership, or Joint Venture

Acceptance of these terms does not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment relationship, or ownership interest between you and Crown Booth. You have no ownership interest in Crown Booth, its platform, its intellectual property, its workflows, or its commercial relationships by reason of using the platform or accepting these terms. Any such arrangement requires a separate written agreement expressly signed by an authorised representative of Crown Booth. No course of dealing, platform usage, or informal communication creates any ownership or partnership rights.

5. Account Access and Platform Control

Crown Booth may condition access to protected materials, workflows, dashboards, and platform features on acceptance of these terms. Crown Booth may suspend, limit, or revoke access where necessary to protect its legal, operational, commercial, or security interests, without prior notice where circumstances require.

6. Confidential Information

Non-public Crown Booth materials, workflows, product details, pricing structures, creator information, commercial discussions, collaboration arrangements, private files, system logic, and other non-public information made available through the platform are confidential. You will not disclose, reproduce, or exploit Crown Booth confidential information except as expressly permitted in writing. This obligation survives termination for five years, or indefinitely in respect of trade secrets.

7. No Circumvention and No Fee Evasion

You may not use Crown Booth introductions, relationships, or platform activity to transact directly with participants introduced through Crown Booth in order to avoid platform rules, workflow controls, or applicable fees, unless Crown Booth expressly authorises it in writing.

8. Non-Compete Restriction

During the period in which you access the Crown Booth platform and for twelve months following termination or expiry of your access, you will not directly or indirectly establish, operate, or materially assist any service or platform that is directly competitive with Crown Booth and that makes use of confidential information, proprietary workflows, platform data, or commercial relationships obtained through your Crown Booth access. This restriction protects Crown Booth's legitimate business interests and does not prevent you from engaging in your profession or trade in any broader sense.

9. Non-Solicitation

During your access period and for twelve months following termination, you will not directly solicit or induce any Crown Booth employee, contractor, collaborator, or key platform participant to leave or reduce their relationship with Crown Booth, where you became aware of that individual through the platform.

10. User Conduct

You may not use Crown Booth to violate applicable law, infringe third-party rights, misrepresent authorship or ownership, interfere with platform operation, distribute harmful or abusive content, or attempt unauthorised access to any Crown Booth system or data.

11. Work Product and Intellectual Property

Work, creative output, or deliverables produced in connection with a Crown Booth workflow do not automatically transfer ownership to Crown Booth unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement. Any transfer, assignment, licence, or joint ownership arrangement requires a separate signed written agreement identifying the relevant works. Crown Booth's rights are limited to the platform licence in clause 13.

12. Rights and User Content

You remain solely responsible for the rights status of content you submit through Crown Booth. You represent that you own or have obtained all necessary licences and clearances in respect of that content.

13. Limited Platform Licence

You grant Crown Booth a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, store, display, reproduce, transmit, and administer your content solely to the extent necessary to operate, secure, support, improve, and enforce Crown Booth services. This licence does not transfer ownership of your content to Crown Booth.

14. Collaboration, Credits, and Splits

Draft credits or split records generated through Crown Booth are workflow tools and are not binding unless separately confirmed in writing by all relevant parties. Crown Booth may freeze release or access where contributor ownership or split arrangements are disputed.

15. No Scraping or Reverse Engineering

You may not scrape, reverse engineer, copy protected workflow structures, or use automated means to harvest Crown Booth content, data, or system logic except where expressly authorised in writing.

16. Fees and No Guarantee of Outcome

Fees may apply to some services, releases, or workflows. Crown Booth does not guarantee any creative, commercial, financial, or distribution outcome.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Crown Booth, its officers, employees, contractors, and representatives from and against any claim, loss, liability, cost, or expense arising out of or relating to your breach of these terms, your misrepresentation of authority or rights, or any third-party claim arising from content you submitted.

18. Privacy and Data Use

Crown Booth may collect and process personal data, acceptance data, workflow data, and technical signals to operate the platform, maintain security, enforce rights, and comply with law. Crown Booth may retain records relevant to assent, compliance, and dispute resolution for the duration of any applicable limitation period.

19. Audit Rights

Crown Booth may audit your platform usage records and activity data to verify compliance with these terms, including no-circumvention and no-scraping obligations.

20. Versioning and Reacceptance

Crown Booth may update these terms. Where reacceptance is required on version change, continued access may depend on fresh acceptance of the current version.

21. Suspension and Termination

Crown Booth may suspend or terminate your access where you breach these terms, create legal or operational risk, or act inconsistently with Crown Booth policies. Confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicitation, indemnification, and other survival provisions continue in full force on termination.

22. Survival

The following survive termination: clauses 4 (No Partnership), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (No Circumvention), 8 (Non-Compete), 9 (Non-Solicitation), 11 (Work Product), 17 (Indemnification), 18 (Privacy), and any entity-specific survival provisions set out below.

23. Disclaimers

Crown Booth services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis except as otherwise stated in a separate signed written agreement. Crown Booth disclaims all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

24. Force Majeure

Crown Booth is not liable for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, governmental action, pandemic, cyberattack, or infrastructure failure.
