These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Independent Theatre Licensing platform ("Platform") operated by Allentertainment ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, listing a work, or licensing a performance you agree to these Terms.
1. Who can use the Platform
You must be at least 18 years old and have authority to enter contracts on behalf of yourself or the organisation you represent. Rights-holders warrant they hold the legal authority to license the works they list.
2. Roles
- Producers apply for and pay licence fees, perform within the agreed terms, and submit royalty reports where required.
- Rights-holders list works, approve or decline applications, set fees, and receive payouts via Stripe Connect.
- Platform facilitates discovery, contracts, payments, reporting and dispute resolution. We are not a party to the licence between rights-holder and producer except as expressly stated.
3. Fees and payments
Subscription fees, licence fees and per-seat fees are listed at the point of purchase. We collect funds on behalf of rights-holders using Stripe and remit net of platform fees and applicable taxes. Stripe's terms also apply.
4. Licences issued via the Platform
Each licence is a contract between the rights-holder and the producer. The Platform-generated contract supersedes prior negotiations. Producers must not exceed the seat allowance, performance dates or territory specified.
5. Acceptable use
- No fraudulent applications, chargebacks or misrepresentation of performance details.
- No distribution of watermarked perusal scripts beyond authorised users.
- No scraping, reverse engineering, or interference with the Platform.
6. Intellectual property
Rights-holders retain all IP in their works. They grant the Platform a non-exclusive licence to display catalogue metadata, sample materials and watermarked perusal copies for the purpose of operating the service.
7. Liability — the Platform is an intermediary only
The Platform is a neutral technology intermediary that helps rights-holders and producers find each other, generate contracts, process payments and exchange materials. Every licence is a direct contract between the rights-holder and the producer. We are not a party to that licence, do not warrant the works listed, do not guarantee the performance, conduct, solvency, accuracy or honesty of any user, and are not responsible for any dispute between users.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that:
- you use the Platform at your own risk;
- we exclude all warranties, conditions and representations not expressly set out in these Terms;
- we are not liable for any loss or damage (including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, performances, productions, royalties, ticket sales or reputation, and any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential loss) arising out of or in connection with the Platform, any listing, any licence, any user-generated content, any payment, any third-party service (including Stripe, hosting, email or AI providers), or any act or omission of any rights-holder, producer, cast member, audience member or other user;
- where liability cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other mandatory law, our aggregate liability to you for all claims is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the service or refunding the platform fees you paid us in the 3 months preceding the claim;
- you release us from, and will not bring, any claim against us in respect of any matter that is properly between you and another user of the Platform.
Nothing in this clause limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Termination
Either party may close their account at any time. We may suspend accounts for breach of these Terms. Active licences remain in force after termination unless cancelled by the rights-holder.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
10. Contact
Questions: support@allentertainment.com.au.
11. Marketing review & AI checks
The Platform offers an optional AI-assisted marketing review service for production marketing materials submitted by producers. Producers may pay to run an AI check before submitting; rights-holders may opt-in to automatic AI review of submissions, in which case the per-check fee is added to the rights-holder's account balance and netted against their next royalty payout. AI outcomes are advisory only and are subject to override by the rights-holder. Where a rights-holder has opted in to AI review, any failure flagged is treated as a rights-holder decision under the licence terms.
12. Withdrawals and cancellations
Producers may withdraw a licence application at any time before payment is captured, at no charge, even if the application has been auto-approved. Once payment has been captured, no refund is available except where the rights-holder cancels the licence or where the Australian Consumer Law requires one (see our Refund Policy).
