You accept the terms of this Agreement by registering below. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that company or legal entity to this Agreement. If you do not have the authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this Agreement, you must not confirm acceptance and you may not submit Content to Urban TV Network Corp.
In this Agreement, you grant us the right to review your Content with the URBT staff and our third party partners. The specific rights you grant to us depend on whether you submit your Content to us for private review as a “Private Submission” or for public review as a “Public Submission”:
2.1. A “Submission” is content, like an original screenplay that is wholly new to URBT. when it is submitted. A Submission can be based on or contain elements of a public domain work, but that work must be public domain in all countries worldwide, and only your original contributions (like new dialogue you create) will be considered your Submission, not any element from the public domain work.
2.2. A “Private Submission” is a Submission you submit to us for private review using a tool we provide to you on URBT. for doing so. Private Submissions are not publicly displayed on Urban TV Network Corp.
In order for Urban TV Network Corp. to function well, it’s crucial that you have the right to enter into this Agreement and to grant us all of the rights described in this Agreement:
3.1 You represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years of age (or the age of maturity where you reside, whichever is older), can form a legally binding contract by accepting a contract online (without exchange of paper), and have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with your obligations under this Agreement.
3.2 You acknowledge that your activities on Urban TV Network Corp., including those under this Agreement, are subject to the terms of the Account Agreement and you represent and warrant that you are in compliance with the terms of the Account Agreement.
3.3. If you submit a Submission to Urban TV Network Corp., you represent and warrant that you are legally entitled to do so because:
3.3.1 you are the sole author or creator of the Submission (for example, you are contributing an original screenplay you have written completely on your own); or
3.3.2 you are the sole holder of rights in the Submission because all rights in the Submission have been assigned or transferred to you (for example, you are contributing a concept video you created and all talent who helped you create the concept video assigned all their rights to you).
You further represent and warrant the following with respect to any Submission you submit:
4.1 - You have obtained all rights of publicity to any cast members or other individuals appearing in your Content;
4.2 - You have obtained all rights necessary to use any music in your Content and are in compliance with all licenses to use the music in your Content;
4.3 - You have obtained all rights necessary to use the locations or premises in your Content;
4.4 - You have obtained all rights necessary to use any images or footage recognizable in your Content and are in compliance with all licenses to use such images and footage;
4.5 - Neither your Content nor the exercise of the rights you grant in this Agreement will infringe or violate any copyrights, contract rights, rights of privacy or other rights of any person or defame any person;
4.6 - If your Content is based in whole or in part on the life of any real person, you will identify that during the submission process using the means we provide for doing so;
4.7 - Our exercise of the rights you grant under this Agreement will not give rise to any obligation to pay you or any third party any royalty or other payment;
4.8 - If your Content is appropriate only for viewers 17 and older, you will identify the Content as such during the process using the means we provide for doing so;
4.9 - Your Content is free and clear of any pending or threatened litigation; and

5.2.1. - Submission Type. You may choose to change a Public Submission to a Private Submission at any time using a tool we have provided you to do so.

Given the open nature of Urban TV Network Corp., Urban TV Network Corp. participants may develop and submit scripts, movies, shows, and videos that are similar to each other. In order to prevent legal claims that could be disruptive to Urban TV Network Corp. participants and impede the ability of Urban TV Network Corp. scripts, movies, shows and videos to be developed and released, you agree to irrevocably and forever waive any legal claim you may have under any theory of law in any territory, including, without limitation, copyright infringement or breach of implied in fact contract (idea submission), that your rights were infringed due to any similarity between your Content and any other content that is or may become available on Urban TV Network Corp. and its partners, unless there is substantial similarity of protectable expression under United States copyright law between your Content and the other content and the other content includes a verbatim copy of a material portion of your script or other written material, if your Content is a script or other written material, or a re-use of a material portion of footage from your movie, show or other video if your Content is a movie, show, or other video.
