These Terms & Conditions ("Agreement") set out the terms under which Deepstory BV ("we", "us", "our") provides access to the ScriptBook website at scriptbook.io (the "Website") and to the ScriptBook AI-driven screenplay analysis platform (the "Platform" or "ScriptBook") to you (the "Customer", "you"). Deepstory BV is a private limited liability company incorporated under Belgian law, registered with the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0799185176. ScriptBook is the trading name under which Deepstory BV operates the Platform and the Services. By visiting the Website, placing an order, or submitting a screenplay to us, you accept this Agreement. If you do not agree, you must cease using the Website and the Platform.

2.02 Restrictions on use. You shall not:
- (a) sublicense, rent, lease, lend, encumber, pledge, copy, make available or distribute the Platform, the Website, or any modified version of either, to any third party except as expressly permitted by this Agreement;
- (b) remove, modify or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices that appear on the Platform or the Website;

- (d) modify, adapt, or alter the Platform in any way;
- (e) transfer, use, or export the Platform in violation of any laws or regulations of any government or governmental agency;
- (f) use the Platform or the Services to compete with us, to benchmark for a competing product, or to train, fine-tune, validate, or evaluate any other AI system;
- (g) interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website or our underlying systems;
- (h) frame, deep-link, or hot-link the Website without our prior written authorisation.
2.03 Compliance. You agree to use the Website and the Platform in a responsible manner that complies with this Agreement and with all applicable laws and regulations.
2.04 Ownership. All rights granted to you under this Agreement are subject to your compliance with this Agreement. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights in the Platform or the Website, and Deepstory BV reserves all rights not expressly granted.
Clause III. Ordering, delivery and pricing
3.01 Plans. The Services are offered under three plans — Basic, Standard, and Premium — as described on our pricing page. Prices are listed in EUR and are exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes.
Our current plans are:
- Basic — €149 per script (3-page PDF analysis report, delivered within 24 hours of script receipt);
- Standard — €399 per script (full 360° analysis with portal access, delivered within 24 hours);
- Premium — €799 per script (Standard plan plus unlimited rewrites, international box-office forecasts for 17 countries, tiered users, and enterprise contact options).
3.02 Placing an Order. You place an Order by selecting a plan on the pricing page and completing payment through our hosted checkout. The contract between you and us is formed when payment is successfully processed and we send you a confirmation email.
3.03 Submission of screenplay. To enable us to deliver the Service, you will be asked to send your screenplay as a PDF attachment to sales@scriptbook.io, together with your full name and the email address used at checkout so we can match your script to your Order.
3.04 Delivery. We aim to deliver your analysis within 24 hours from the moment we receive your screenplay as a properly formatted PDF. The 24-hour window does not include time spent waiting for you to send your script, or time required for clarifications or corrections needed because the screenplay file is incomplete, corrupted, or otherwise unfit for analysis. We will let you know promptly if there is any issue with your submission.
3.05 Price review. We may change our prices from time to time. Changes will not affect any Order already paid for.
3.06 Late payment. Where we invoice you and payment is not received by the due date, you may be assessed a finance charge accruing automatically from the due date until payment is received, equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid invoice amount per month, or the legal maximum, whichever is less. We may suspend or cancel performance of the Services in the event you are more than thirty (30) days past due on any undisputed invoice and have failed to cure the deficiency within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice.
Clause IV. Right of withdrawal and refunds
4.01 Consumers in the EU. Where you contract with us as a consumer (acting outside your trade, business, craft, or profession), EU consumer protection law gives you a 14-day right of withdrawal from distance contracts. However, in line with Article VI.53, 13° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, this right does not apply to the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium where performance has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. By placing an Order and asking us to deliver the analysis within the 24-hour window, you expressly request immediate performance of the Service and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun.
4.02 Business customers. If you contract with us in a business capacity, the right of withdrawal under consumer protection law does not apply.
4.03 Refund policy. If we are unable to deliver the analysis you purchased, or if the report we deliver is materially defective due to our fault, we will provide either a replacement analysis or a full refund, at our discretion.
Clause V. Your screenplay and intellectual property
5.01 Your screenplay. You retain all rights, title, and interest in the screenplays you submit. Submitting a screenplay to us grants Deepstory BV a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to receive, process, and analyse the screenplay solely for the purpose of delivering the analysis you ordered and providing any related support. We do not acquire any other rights in your screenplay.
5.02 No AI model training on your screenplay. Your screenplay will not be used to train, fine-tune, validate, or otherwise improve our AI models, and will not be used for any purpose other than delivering your analysis.
5.03 Our intellectual property. The Website, the ScriptBook brand, our analysis methodology, our software, our trained models, and all related documentation, including all underlying intellectual property rights (copyright, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and know-how), are and remain the exclusive property of Deepstory BV or its licensors. Our underlying technology is protected by patents in the European Union (EP3340069A1) and in the United States (US20200334336A1). This Agreement does not transfer to you any ownership rights in the Platform or the Website, and Deepstory BV reserves all rights not expressly granted.
5.04 Use of the analysis report. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the analysis report we deliver to you for your own internal business or professional purposes. You may not resell our reports, redistribute them publicly, or use them to develop, train, or evaluate competing products.
Clause VI. Confidentiality
6.01 Mutual obligation. Each Party may disclose to the other Confidential Information as may be necessary to further the performance of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to treat the other Party's Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, and not to disclose Confidential Information to a third party without the disclosing Party's prior written consent, nor to use the Confidential Information for purposes other than the performance of this Agreement.
6.02 Permitted disclosure. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party only to those employees, agents, subcontractors, or service providers who require knowledge of it to perform their duties pursuant to this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations substantially consistent with the terms hereof.
6.03 Exceptions. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to Confidential Information that: (a) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (b) becomes available to the receiving Party from a third party who, in making the disclosure, has breached no confidentiality obligation; (c) was lawfully known by the receiving Party prior to disclosure; (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the Confidential Information; or (e) is required to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable law, in which case the receiving Party shall give prompt notice to the disclosing Party and exercise reasonable best efforts to obtain confidential treatment of the disclosed information.
6.04 Publicity by Deepstory BV. Nothing in this Clause prevents Deepstory BV from disclosing the existence of this Agreement and from referencing the commercial relationship in communications with existing or potential investors, customers, and other relevant parties, provided that Deepstory BV shall not disclose the specific terms of this Agreement.
6.05 Publicity by you. You shall not issue or make any publicity release (including press releases and advertising or solicitation materials) or other public statement (a) relating to this Agreement; (b) using Deepstory BV's name, the ScriptBook name, or any of our related trademarks, logos, or branding; or (c) suggesting or implying any endorsement by Deepstory BV or by the ScriptBook Platform of you or your products or services, without Deepstory BV's prior written approval, which Deepstory BV may withhold at its sole discretion.
Clause VII. Warranties and disclaimers
7.01 Limited warranty by Deepstory BV. Deepstory BV represents and warrants that: (a) it owns or controls the intellectual property rights in the Platform under applicable copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other applicable law; and (b) the Platform is of original development by Deepstory BV or by third parties who developed the Platform under contract with Deepstory BV and assigned to Deepstory BV all their rights in it.
7.02 No warranty with regard to generated outputs. You acknowledge that Deepstory BV does not give any representation or warranty whatsoever with regard to any text generations, data, analyses, predictions, forecasts, projections, or rankings generated by the Platform or otherwise provided by Deepstory BV to you. Deepstory BV shall not be liable towards you or any other person for any claim directly or indirectly resulting from or in connection with such text, data, analyses, predictions, forecasts, projections, or rankings.
While we have invested significantly in the accuracy of our predictions (including a validated 87% box-office prediction accuracy and 80% greenlight accuracy in our 50-film Hollywood validation study), no AI prediction is perfect. The film industry is inherently uncertain, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond what can be inferred from a screenplay alone — including casting, marketing, distribution, release timing, and audience reception. Our reports are decision-support tools and are not a substitute for professional creative, legal, financial, or commercial judgment.
7.03 Website "as is". Your use of the Website is at your own risk. The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation representations, warranties or conditions of title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, performance, durability, availability, timeliness, accuracy, or completeness, all of which are disclaimed by Deepstory BV to the fullest extent permitted by law. The internet is not a secure medium and may be subject to interruption, disruption, and inadvertent or deliberate breaches of security and privacy. The operation of the Website may be affected by numerous factors beyond Deepstory BV's control and may not be continuous, uninterrupted, secure, or private.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Deepstory BV makes no representation, warranty, or condition that:
- the Website or the ScriptBook Platform will be compatible with your computer and related equipment and software;
- the Website or the ScriptBook Platform will be available or will function without interruption or will be free of errors, or that any errors will be corrected;
- the Website or the ScriptBook Platform will meet your requirements;
- the information contained in or derived from the Website or the ScriptBook Platform will be accurate, complete, sequential, or timely;
- any particular results may be obtained through the use of the Website or the ScriptBook Platform;
- the use of the Website or the ScriptBook Platform, including the browsing and downloading of information, will be free of viruses, trojan horses, worms, or other destructive or disruptive components; or
- the use of the Website or the ScriptBook Platform will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any person.
Deepstory BV disclaims any and all liability regarding the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7.04 Third-party IP infringement. If Deepstory BV receives information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Platform, Deepstory BV may, at its expense and without obligation to do so, either (a) procure for you the right to continue to use the allegedly infringing Platform, or (b) modify the Platform or replace it with a functional equivalent to make it non-infringing. If, as a result of an infringement or misappropriation claim, your use of the Platform is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Deepstory BV will, at its option, either procure the right to continue its use, replace the Platform with a functional equivalent, or modify the Platform to make it non-infringing; and in the event that Deepstory BV is unable to provide any of the foregoing through commercially reasonable efforts, Deepstory BV may terminate this Agreement and refund any prepaid fees for unused portions of the Services. The rights and remedies granted to you under this Clause 7.04 state Deepstory BV's entire liability and your exclusive remedy with respect to any claim of infringement of the rights of a third party relating to the Platform.
Clause VIII. Limitation of liability
8.01 Direct damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Deepstory BV's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Website, or the Services shall be limited to direct damages up to the total amount paid by you to Deepstory BV under this Agreement in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In the case of free trials or unpaid use, Deepstory BV shall not bear any liability under this Agreement.
8.02 Excluded damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Deepstory BV nor its Affiliates, suppliers, partners, agents, directors, officers, employees, or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits or revenues, loss of business information, business interruption, loss of opportunity, or loss of data, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Website, or the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages or if such possibility was reasonably foreseeable. The exclusion of liability in this Clause does not apply to either Party's liability for breach of its confidentiality obligations or of the other Party's intellectual property rights.
8.03 Application. The limitations and exclusions of liability in this Agreement apply regardless of whether the liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict or product liability, breach of warranty, or any other legal theory, and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes our liability where it cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under Belgian law, including liability for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
8.04 Release. To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, you hereby release and forever discharge Deepstory BV and each of its providers and all of their respective franchisees, partners, agents, directors, officers, employees, information providers, service providers, suppliers, subcontractors, licensors, and licensees, and all other related, associated, or connected persons, from any and all manner of rights, claims, complaints, demands, causes of action, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, legal fees, costs, and disbursements of any nature and kind whatsoever and howsoever arising, whether known or unknown, which now or hereafter exist, and which arise from, relate to, or are connected with your use of the Website or the ScriptBook Platform.
8.05 Indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Deepstory BV and its Affiliates, partners, agents, directors, officers, employees, information providers, service providers, suppliers, subcontractors, licensors, and licensees (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, and costs, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim or demand arising out of or relating to your use of the Website or the ScriptBook Platform, your submission of a screenplay or other content to us, or your breach of this Agreement.
Clause IX. Third-party services and links
9.01 Third-party links. The Website may contain hyperlinks to third-party materials, resources, or websites operated by third parties. Deepstory BV is not responsible for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such third-party websites or resources and shall not be taken to endorse, publish, permit, or authorise them. These websites are operated under the exclusive responsibility of their respective owners.
9.02 Third-party providers. Our service relies on third-party service providers (including payment processing and cloud hosting providers). We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third parties, but we have selected them on the basis of their reputation, security practices, and contractual commitments to data protection. The categories of providers we rely on are described in our Privacy Policy.

10.01 Term. This Agreement begins when you first access the Website or place an Order, and continues in effect until terminated in accordance with this Clause.

The affected Party shall notify the other Party as soon as feasible of (a) its best reasonable assessment of the nature and duration of the event, and (b) the steps it is taking to mitigate its effects. If the event prevents performance for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
