AI Filmmaker Index ("the Service," "we," "us") is operated by NLB Merch LLC, doing business as AI Filmmaker Index. By accessing aifilmmakerindex.com, creating an account, submitting a listing, posting a brief, or contacting anyone through the Service, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is a curated directory that helps filmmakers, studios, and agencies ("Filmmakers") be discovered by people seeking creative services ("Clients"). We list, organize, and display information — that is all.
We are not a party to any agreement, engagement, negotiation, payment, or dispute between Filmmakers and Clients. We do not vet, supervise, guarantee, or insure any work, deliverable, payment, or person. Any engagement you enter through contacts made on the Service is solely between you and the other party, at your own risk.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or be listed. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for maintaining the security of your account, and for all activity under it.
The Index is curated. We review submissions and accept, decline, edit placement of, or remove any listing at any time, at our sole discretion, with or without reason or notice. A listing (free or paid) is not an endorsement, and inclusion is not a right. Declining or removing a listing is not a statement about anyone’s talent or worth — curation is about fit and signal for the directory as a whole.
You retain ownership of the content you submit (bios, taglines, images, and links to video work). By submitting it, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and promote that content in connection with operating and marketing the Service.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to everything you submit; that your content does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; and that any work you present as yours is genuinely yours. You are solely responsible for your content. We host links and embeds; the underlying videos remain on their platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) under those platforms’ terms.
You agree not to: misrepresent your identity or work; scrape, harvest, or bulk-export the directory; spam Filmmakers or Clients through our contact tools; upload malicious code; interfere with the Service’s operation; or use the Service for any unlawful purpose. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
Paid tiers and paid postings (when offered) are billed in advance, renew automatically until cancelled, and may be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, including for partial periods. Paid placement affects visibility only; it does not exempt anyone from curation or these terms.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice containing: (1) identification of the copyrighted work; (2) identification and location (URL) of the allegedly infringing material; (3) your contact information; (4) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.
Send DMCA notices to our designated agent: legal@aifilmmakerindex.com. We will remove or disable access to material identified in valid notices promptly, and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY LISTING IS ACCURATE, THAT ANY FILMMAKER OR CLIENT IS WHO THEY CLAIM TO BE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NLB MERCH LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR ANY ENGAGEMENT FORMED THROUGH IT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NLB Merch LLC and its members, officers, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) content you submit to the Service; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these terms; (d) your violation of any third party’s rights, including intellectual property rights; or (e) any engagement, agreement, or dispute between you and any other user of the Service.
You may delete your account at any time by emailing legal@aifilmmakerindex.com. We may suspend or terminate your account or listing at any time, at our sole discretion. Sections 5 and 8 through 13 survive termination.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
We may update these terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. Questions: legal@aifilmmakerindex.com.
