The Legal Stuff

In Short-

This "In Short" is a non-legally-binding introductory summary of (and not a substitute for) the terms & conditions. This summary highlights only some of the key features of the actual terms & conditions. It is not an agreement and has no legal value. You should carefully review the actual terms & conditions.

 You grant S.C. TreeHouse LLC the right to:

• Distribute your titles and associated metadata to video-on-demand (VOD) platforms
• Collect all revenue from VOD platforms in connection with your titles, which we then pass on to you less our revenue share

 With the understanding that:

• You control the necessary rights.
• You can withdraw your title(s) from S.C. TreeHouse LLC at any time, but remain bound to the rules of VOD platforms already delivered to.
• VOD platforms may decline titles. Your titles are not guaranteed to be on all VOD platforms.
• You can opt out territories and VOD platforms.
• You communicate with our VOD outlets only through us, not directly.

Money and Royalties​:

1. You make 80%. Out of revenue generated from the sales and views of your films, you receive the first *profit-cut of 80%. In short, if a dollar is made, you get your 80 cents first. This is paid to you quarterly.
2. 10% goes to missions. Even though we operate as a distributing platform for christian and non-christian content like. We do make it a mandator practice to donate 10% of all profits to missions. These missions we donate your films' 10% to can be chosen by you (the creator), but if not, we will automatically give it to the ones in most need. This is our way of being stewards of what the the Lord gives us.
3. 10% goes to the platforms. The final 10% for revenue is set aside for any kind of service fees charged by the platforms we distribute your films on. If there is any funds left over once service fees are paid, the remaining money will go to the maintaining, marketing, and promotion of your films on those platforms.

*Profit-cuts are set percentages of the generated revenue given to a person or entity out of the remaining funds after distributing and platform fees are taken out by the outlets (i.e. Netflix, Hulu).

Some most-asked questions:

1. Am I signing over all distribution rights? No. The only rights we take are the obvious ones we need to run the service. For example, the right to deliver the titles you upload to VOD outlets on your behalf.
2. Can I upload "unsold" titles only? No. We operate non-exclusively. We can augment other distribution deals you might have with territories and outlets they don't cover. We just ask not to deliver to the same outlets. You can exclude specific outlets and territories per title.
3. Am I tied into a long term contract? No. You can pull your titles anytime. There might be some delay by the terms of platforms already delivered to, though.

Now on to the binding legal text.

4. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT POLICY

1. Notice and Takedown Procedure
   It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page describes the information that should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to Company as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by the DMCA (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Website but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well).
   It is expected that all users of any part of the Company site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if Company receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to these notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers, regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction.
   If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act.
