What follows is the legal side of things, written as plainly as I can manage. It sets out the deal between you and us when you use the site. If anything is unclear, drop me a line (email is at the bottom).
Effective date: 20 July 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Logline It website (the “Service”), run by The Story Department (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.
Terms used here have the same meaning as in our Privacy Policy.
Who can use the Service
The Service is meant for people aged 18 and over. By using it, you confirm you are at least 18. If you use it on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm you have the authority to accept these Terms for them.
Your account
Some features need an account. You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access to it.
Give us accurate information when you sign up, and keep it current. We may suspend or close accounts that carry false details.
Free and paid features
Most of the Service is free. Some features are paid, bought as one-off credits rather than a subscription.
When you buy credits, we’ll show you the price before you pay. Credits are for use on the Service and have no cash value. Unless the law says otherwise or we state otherwise at the time of purchase, payments for credits are non-refundable once the paid feature has been used. We may change prices from time to time; a price change never affects credits you’ve already bought.
Australian consumers have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that these Terms don’t take away. Nothing here limits any guarantee, right, or remedy you have under that law.
Your content
You keep ownership of everything you create or submit on the Service, including your loglines, scripts, and ideas (“Your Content”). We don’t claim it as ours.
To run the Service, we need your permission to handle Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, copy, and process Your Content for the purpose of providing the Service to you and improving it. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for copies we must keep for a reasonable period for backup or legal reasons.
You are responsible for Your Content. By submitting it, you confirm you have the right to do so and that it doesn’t break any law or infringe anyone else’s rights.
What you can’t do
When using the Service, don’t:
- Break any law, or infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
- Upload anything unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or obscene
- Upload viruses or any code designed to disrupt the Service
- Try to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Service without our written permission
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our agreement
- Interfere with anyone else’s use of the Service
We may remove content or suspend access if we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken.
Our intellectual property
The Service itself, including its software, design, text, and branding, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms don’t give you any rights in it beyond using it as intended. Your Content is yours; the tool you use to make it is ours.
Third-party links and services
The Service may link to sites or services we don’t run. We have no control over them and take no responsibility for their content or practices. If you use a third-party service through the Service, that party’s terms apply to your use of it.
Availability
We aim to keep the Service running, but we don’t promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors. We may change, suspend, or withdraw all or part of it at any time, and we’ll try to give notice where that’s reasonable.
Termination
You can close your account at any time by contacting us or using the account settings.
We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if we’re required to by law, or if we stop offering the Service. Where it’s reasonable to do so, we’ll give you notice. When your account closes, your right to use the Service ends. Any terms that by their nature should survive termination (such as those on your content licence, liability, and governing law) continue to apply.
Disclaimers and liability
The Service is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t give any warranty that it will meet your needs or produce any particular result. Loglines and other output are tools to help your own creative work, not a guarantee of success.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits, or opportunity, arising from your use of the Service. Where our liability can’t be excluded but can be limited, it’s limited to resupplying the Service or paying the cost of resupply. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that can’t be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts that hear appeals from them.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We’ll post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top. Where the changes are significant, we’ll let you know by email and/or a prominent notice on the Service before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept the new Terms.
