Terms of service
1. Agreement to Terms
By purchasing any product from StageScape Projections, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not purchase or use our products.
2. Licence of Use
Upon purchase, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, time-limited licence to use the product solely for the school or theatre company specified during the purchase process (the "Authorised Organisation").
This licence permits use of the product only during the performance dates supplied at the time of purchase, including any technical rehearsals and dress rehearsals directly associated with those performances.
Any use of the product outside the declared performance period, including reuse for future productions or extended seasons not disclosed at purchase, constitutes unauthorised use and copyright infringement.
A new licence must be purchased for any additional performance dates, remounts, tours, or future productions.
A standard purchase does not constitute a professional, commercial, or ongoing licence of any kind. Professional, touring, union, or paid productions must enter into a separate written agreement with StageScape Projections prior to any use of the product. See Section 3A.
3. Restrictions on Use
3.1 The product may not be copied, shared, resold, or otherwise transferred to any third party, including other schools, theatre companies, or individuals.
3.2 The product may not be modified, edited, or altered in any way without prior written consent from StageScape Projections.
3.3 Use of the product is limited to theatrical and educational productions staged by the Authorised Organisation under the conditions of the licence granted at the time of purchase.
3.4 A standard licence expressly does not cover Professional Productions as defined in Section 3A.
3A. Professional, Touring, and Paid Productions
3A.1 A "Professional Production" is any production in which one or more of the following applies:
- Any cast member, crew member, designer, director, or other participant is paid a wage, fee, or any other form of financial compensation for their involvement in the production;
- The production is a commercial, touring, or transferring production, including but not limited to regional tours, national tours, international tours, or West End/Broadway-style productions;
- The production operates under any union, industry award, enterprise agreement, or collective bargaining arrangement (including but not limited to Equity, MEAA, or equivalent bodies);
- The production generates or is intended to generate revenue through ticket sales, broadcast, streaming, recording, or any other commercial means beyond incidental community fundraising.
3A.2 A standard purchase from StageScape Projections does not grant any licence to use the product in a Professional Production. The purchase of a product through our standard checkout process is not, and cannot be interpreted as, an agreement to licence the product for professional, commercial, or ongoing use.
3A.3 Any organisation or individual intending to use a StageScape Projections product in a Professional Production must contact StageScape Projections before purchasing or using the product to negotiate a separate written licence agreement.
3A.4 Professional Productions that proceed to use StageScape Projections products without a separate written agreement do so without a valid licence and in breach of copyright. StageScape Projections reserves all rights to pursue appropriate remedies, including damages reflecting the full commercial value of the use.
3A.5 The obligation to notify StageScape Projections of a Professional Production applies even where the production originates as an amateur or educational production and subsequently transfers to a professional or touring context. In such circumstances, use must cease until a new agreement is in place.
