Screendibs Disclaimer
Draft for review by Jonathan Nuss. Not yet in force.
Last updated: [date]
This Disclaimer applies to the Screendibs platform, its reports and our company website. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
Information only, not legal advice
Screendibs provides information to help entertainment professionals search for literary works and assess their adaptation potential. Nothing on Screendibs, including any report, is legal, financial, investment, tax or other professional advice, and using Screendibs does not create a lawyer-client or other professional relationship with Screendibs Technologies Inc. or any of its team.
AI-generated content may be wrong
Search results, details, adaptability assessments, rights-status indications, reports and illustrations are generated wholly or partly by artificial intelligence (currently Google Gemini and Imagen models). They may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or invented, including facts about authors, publishers, sales, existing adaptations, options, rights holders, budgets and comparable titles. Illustrations are AI-generated and are not official cover art. Always check important facts against reliable sources.
No guarantee that any right is available
A rights-status indication is an estimate, never a guarantee.
- Public domain is assessed under United States copyright rules for published works (in 2026, works first published in 1930 or earlier). Copyright terms differ between countries, and a translation, edition, illustration, sequel, character or trademark connected with a work may still be protected.
- Likely available means only that Screendibs did not identify an option or other claim. It does not mean that any right is free, unencumbered or obtainable.
- Optioned or held and Unverified are also estimates based on the information available to the AI.
Before you make an offer, sign an agreement, pay for an option or invest in a project, confirm the rights position and chain of title with an entertainment rights representative or attorney.
Wording in every report
Every Screendibs report carries this note in its footer:
"A friendly note: this report is for information only and is not legal advice. Before you make an offer, please confirm rights and chain of title with an entertainment rights representative or attorney."
[DECISION for Jon: the footer wording above is option A, live in the code today. Options B and C are in "Late Work/02 Report disclaimer/README.md". Consider adding "AI-generated and may contain errors" to the footer.]
Third-party works and trademarks
Titles, author names, characters, publisher names, studio names and other trademarks belong to their owners. They appear on Screendibs only to identify and discuss the works concerned. Screendibs is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any author, publisher, agency, studio or rights holder unless we say so expressly.
Your rights
This Disclaimer does not limit any right you have under consumer protection law that cannot be excluded by contract, including under the Quebec Consumer Protection Act. Our Terms of Service explain our responsibilities and their limits.
