Terms of Service

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Welcome to Demand the Screen. By accessing or using our platform at demandthescreen.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully before using the Service.

About the Service

Demand the Screen is a grassroots theatrical campaign platform that allows film fans and local organizers to express interest in having two independent films — Dead Dawn and Silt — screened at theaters in their area. The platform facilitates outreach emails to theater booking contacts on behalf of registered users.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

User Responsibilities

By using the Service, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information when signing up
• Use the platform only for its intended purpose — expressing genuine interest in the theatrical screening of the featured films
• Not submit multiple signups using different email addresses to artificially inflate demand counts
• Not use the platform to send unsolicited, misleading, or harassing communications to theaters
• Not attempt to access, interfere with, or disrupt the platform or its underlying systems

Email Authorization

The platform offers an optional feature that sends a pre-written outreach email to a local theater on your behalf using your personal Gmail or Outlook account. By using this feature, you:

• Confirm that the email content accurately represents your genuine interest
• Authorize Demand the Screen to send a single email on your behalf to the theater assigned to your ZIP code
• Understand that the email will appear to come from your personal email address
• Acknowledge that Demand the Screen is not responsible for any response or non-response from theater booking contacts

No Guarantee of Booking

Use of this platform does not guarantee that any theater will screen the featured films. Demand the Screen serves as a demand-aggregation and outreach coordination tool only. Actual screening decisions rest entirely with individual theater operators and distributors.

Captain Program

Users who sign up as "captains" take on an informal role as local campaign organizers. Captains may share a referral link to recruit other supporters. By participating as a captain, you agree to represent the campaign accurately and in good faith. Demand the Screen reserves the right to remove captain status from any user who misrepresents the campaign or violates these Terms.

Intellectual Property

All content on this platform, including text, design, logos, and campaign materials, is owned by or licensed to Demand the Screen and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used for commercial purposes without prior written consent. The films Dead Dawn and Silt and their associated creative assets remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular outcome (such as a theater booking) will result from your use of the platform.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Demand the Screen shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or are using the platform in a manner that is harmful to other users, theaters, or the campaign.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in the courts of Travis County, Texas.
