4docs Terms

4docs.org.uk (the ‘Site’) is owned and operated by the Channel4 BRITDOC Foundation (‘we’, ‘us’, and ‘the Foundation’).

Please read the terms and conditions set out below carefully as they set out your rights and obligations and the terms on which the Foundation makes the Site available to you. They also provide information on how you can submit material, and how this will be used.

By using or visiting the Site, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (‘the ‘Terms’) and our Privacy Policy (which is incorporated into the Terms – see below). If you do not agree to the Terms or the Privacy Policy please do not use or visit the Site.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT USER CONTENT

Any Films, reviews, comments, data, competition entries or other content submitted by you to us via the Site or otherwise for inclusion on the Site project are referred to as ‘User Content’ in these Terms.

By providing User Content to the Site you confirm this (a) is your own work and not copied from anyone else or infringing of any third party’s rights, (b) is not defamatory, obscene, harassing, offensive, threatening, in breach of anyone’s privacy or in contempt of court, and (c) that use of your User Content by us in accordance with the rights granted by you will not infringe any third party’s copyright or other intellectual property rights, moral rights or other rights and is not subject to further conditions or payments. You must have the consent of any contributors featured in your User Content and all other rights owners in your User Content, and may be asked to provide evidence to us that you do.

You will continue to own any original content you provide (unless as otherwise agreed with you or set out on the Site) but by providing your User Content you agree that The Foundation (and those authorised by the Foundation) may use it and make it available on the Site, other 4docs branded internet sites (such as the 4docs channel on You Tube, or Facebook account) and any other sites owned and operated by or on behalf of The Foundation or associated companies and in connection with the 4docs project. Further details are set out below.

User Content will be published entirely at the Foundation’s discretion, nothing shall oblige the Foundation to use, or continue to use your User Content, and the Foundation may remove your User Content at any time for any reason.

Rules for submission of Short Documentaries (‘Films’) to the Site

While the Terms apply to submission of Films (as Films are User Content) – and you should read these in full carefully as they set out your rights and responsibilities – set out below are some of the main points to take note of before submitting your Film to us to be considered for inclusion on the Site (and on our 4docs branded channels on third party sites).

Please make sure:

1. you have the consent of all contributors featuring in or contributing to your Film such as composers, voice artists, actors, writers, directors, designers, developers etc and have obtained all appropriate clearances in order to grant the rights granted to the Foundation under these Terms;
2. you haven’t already given another website or other person, in any country, exclusive rights to your Film;
3. you don’t submit any Film which isn’t your own work, or which includes anyone else’s material, like images or music unless you have their permission to use it in your Film;
4. you haven’t used commercial music within your Film. This means not using music which is available to purchase on the high street or through online stores;
5. you haven’t said nasty or untrue things in your Film about people or companies, or mentioned any court cases or arrests;
6. you haven’t revealed any private information in your Film including contact details about yourself (unless you want to) or anyone else;
7. your Film does not include anything that is defamatory, obscene, indecent, offensive, harassing, threatening, in breach of anyone’s privacy or in contempt of court or that otherwise breaches applicable laws and/or regulations;
8. your Film must have a limit of 250MB and a cap on Film length of 20 minutes; and
9. that you have read and agreed the Terms in full and can agree to these.

If you submit a Film in breach of the Terms, and this comes to our attention, we reserve the right to remove it from the Site.

The Site may contain content of an adult nature and parts of the Site may not be suitable for access by children or young people under 18. Some Films or other content on the Site may be unsuitable for younger viewers and while we may provide a guidance rating or a warning where we deem this necessary we do not undertake to do so and shall have no liability for any content than may be found to be offensive or otherwise objectionable. Where you allow children or young people to view films or other content on the Site, you are responsible for making sure that this is suitable for them. You understand that this content may contain nudity or other material of a sexual nature, or may include content you may consider offensive or otherwise objectionable.

3. COMPETITIONS

You may have the chance to apply to participate in competitions on the Site (each a ‘Competition’). The Site will set out details of how to submit an entry, the process and any additional rules or requirements. Any User Content and Your Data (as defined below) supplied as part of an entry MUST comply with the Terms and other requirements as notified. Rules specific to each Competition are displayed in a notice on the page for such Competition (‘Competition Notice’) and are incorporated into the Terms. In the event of discrepancy between these terms and conditions and the Competition Notice, the Competition Notice shall prevail.

The Foundation reserves the right to disqualify incomplete entries or those that do not follow the requirements or these Terms. The Foundation does not accept responsibility for lost or delayed entries or for any errors in or unauthorised access to entries which happen because of server functions, viruses, bugs or other things that The Foundation does not control.

The Foundation reserves the right to cancel or amend the Competition or this section (Competitions) of the Terms without notice during a Competition in the event of a catastrophe, war, civil or military disturbance, act of God or any actual or anticipated breach of any applicable law or regulation or any other event outside The Foundation’s reasonable control. Any changes will be posted either within these terms and conditions or the Competition Notice on the Site. Between Competitions the Foundation reserves the right to amend this section of the Terms in the same way as the rest of the Terms in accordance with Section 1 above, so please ensure you check the Terms each time you enter a Competition.

The Foundation’s decision as to whether a competition entry (‘entry’) is successful (or in the event of any argument regarding the rules, conduct or results of the entry process) is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Employees of The Foundation or any company involved in the Competition or, any employees of a production company or any person whose Entry has been produced with funding from The Foundation or any employees of any advertising agency or web company connected with the 4docs project (and/or any subsidiary or associated companies, agents or members of their families or households of the foregoing), are not eligible to enter the Competition.

Additional eligibility requirements may apply to a specific Competition, e.g. a valid passport, visas and/or driver’s licence will be required if the Competition prize includes travel outside the United Kingdom and/or car hire. These will be set out in the Competition Notice.

By entering the Competition, you hereby warrant that all information submitted by you is true, current and complete. The Foundation reserves the right to verify the eligibility of all entrants.

The address you provide with your Entry will be used to send any prizes so please make sure this is correct. You are not entitled to enter the Competition if you are resident in a country or jurisdiction (outside the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland) where the Competition may breach any law or regulation. Where this applies, The Foundation’s invitation to enter the Competition in such country and/or jurisdiction is withdrawn.

The Foundation assumes that by using the Site and entering the Competition (and you warrant that) you are aged 16 or over and if you are under 18, that your parents have consented to your Entry into the Competition and these Terms.

The Foundation reserves the right to request written proof of age of any winner.

The Foundation reserves the right to disqualify any entrant if it has reasonable grounds to believe the entrant has breached any of the Terms.

In the event that any entrant is disqualified from the Competition, The Foundation in its sole discretion may decide whether a replacement should be selected. In this event, any further entrant will be selected on the same criteria as the original entrant and will be subject to these Terms.

You may enter the Competition as many times as you like however where a winner has been selected and The Foundation discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe the winner has used any software or automated process either to answer questions or to make bulk entries, The Foundation may select an alternative winner. Any further winner will be selected on the same criteria as the original winner and will be subject to these Terms.
Competition entries must be made in the manner and by the closing date and time specified on the Competition Notice. Failure to do so will disqualify the entry.

There is no purchase requirement to enter a Competition and there is no charge to register for use of the Site.
Proof of posting or emailing cannot be accepted as proof of delivery. The Foundation cannot accept responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft, destruction, alteration of or unauthorised access to Entries, or Entries lost, damaged or delayed as a result of server functions, technical issues, virus, bugs or other causes outside The Foundation’s control.

Entrants should note that unless stated otherwise, The Foundation does not accept responsibility for the return of any Entries (or User Content contained in an Entry), including those consisting of artistic or other material.

Prize winners will be chosen at random unless specified otherwise in the Competition Notice, from all qualifying Entries within 28 days of the closing date specified in the Competition Notice. Tie-breakers will be judged by The Foundation and, if required by law, by an independent adjudicator. In all matters, the decision of the judge(s) and The Foundation shall be final and no correspondence or discussion shall be entered into.

Prize winners will be notified in the manner and within the time specified on the Competition Notice (and may be contacted by The Foundation or The Foundation’s nominated supplier(s)). Return of any prize notification as undeliverable or failure to reply as specified in the notification (and within the time stated) may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. If more than one prize is awarded only one prize per entrant will be awarded. Competition winner(s)’ names may be published on the website.

Claims for prizes must be made in the manner and within the time specified on the Competition Notice. Failure to claim a prize within this time or in the manner specified may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.
Prizes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. The Foundation reserves the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value at any time.

Prizes are awarded at The Foundation’s discretion and no prizes will be awarded as a result of improper actions by or on behalf of any entrant. Where Entries are being judged on creative or artistic merit or other subjective criteria, The Foundation and/or the Competition judges (acting reasonably) reserve the right not to select a winner, and/or to remove or amend selection criteria and/or the structure and operation of the Competition if Entries are not of the requisite standard.

All taxes, insurances, transfers, spending money and other expenses (including meals or personal expenses upgrades etc.) as the case may be, unless specifically stated, are the sole responsibility of the prize winner.

The Foundation shall be entitled to use any User Content supplied as part of an Entry in accordance with these Terms (see in particular Section 4 below).

The Foundation cannot accept any responsibility for any damage, loss, injury or disappointment suffered by any entrant entering the Competition or as a result of accepting any prize. The Foundation is not responsible for any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer on-line systems, servers, or providers, computer equipment or software, failure of any email or entry to be received on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet, telephone lines or at any web site, or any combination of these, including any injury or damage to entrant’s or any other person’s computer or mobile telephone related to or resulting from participation or downloading any materials in the Competition. Nothing shall exclude The Foundation’s liability for death or personal injury as a result of its negligence.

Winners may be requested to take part in promotional activity and The Foundation reserves the right to use the names and addresses of winners, their photographs and audio and/or visual recordings of them in any publicity.

Data relating to entrants will be retained by The Foundation for a reasonable period after the Competition closes to assist The Foundation to operate competitions in a consistent manner and to deal with any queries on the Competition.
