Terms

What a seat grants

A seat is one First Draft Review: one complete read of one feature screenplay, and its two documents — THE SCRIPT VERDICT and THE SCREEN ELEVATION BRIEF. The seat is bound to that one script when the read begins. A new script, or a revised draft, is a new read.

A seat is not transferable, and sharing a seat code ends the seat. The television lane opens soon. Until it does, no television seat is sold and no television script is read. Television seats will be offered only once their terms are stated here.

Who you are buying from, and how payment works

The Script Reader's Verdict is sold by Loving My Words. That is the seller of record: the name on your receipt and on your card statement.

A seat is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription, no recurring charge and no renewal, and nothing is billed to you again unless you buy another seat. Payment is taken by Stripe, our payment processor. Your card details go to Stripe and never to this website: we do not see them and we do not hold them. Stripe issues your receipt.

If the read cannot be completed on our side, you are told plainly and a paid seat is refunded in full. The refund promise is set out on our Refunds page, and that page governs.

Free seats

The first five seats are free, one for each writer. A free seat is the same read and the same documents as a paid one. Nothing was paid, so nothing is refunded.

Who owns what

You own your work, completely. The script you bring, every page you leave with, every revision you make — yours, before, during and after. Nothing about this process creates any claim on your story.

Loving My Words and SRV claim no ownership interest in your screenplay, teleplay, characters, story, dialogue, concepts, or other submitted creative material. Submission grants only the limited permission necessary to process and deliver the service you requested.

Your documents are yours to keep and to use for your own work.

We own our own instruments. The system, its knowledge, its methods and its checklists are the proprietary property of Loving My Words, and they never leave the house’s server.

What you need, and who this is for

You sign in with your seat code, and the read runs on our own server and our own account. There is no account and no key of your own to open. This service is for adults: you must be 18 or older, or working with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian who holds the seat.

Where the law of this agreement lives

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. That is the state where SNJ Consulting LLC is organized, and it means one readable set of rules for both of us.

If something goes wrong, please write to us first — a person reads the mail, and a person answers it. Whoever is raising a dispute must send the other written notice of the issue and a fair opportunity — at least 30 days — to resolve it informally. If a dispute cannot be settled informally, any lawsuit belongs in the state courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah — or, where federal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the District of Utah — and both of us consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

One thing this section never does: take away a protection your own country’s or state’s consumer law gives you that cannot be waived by agreement. Where such a law applies to you, it governs.

Where to send a notice

A formal legal notice to the house goes in writing to: Loving My Words, 1501 India Street, PMB 103-11, San Diego, CA 92101 — or by email to support@lovingmywords.com with the subject line “LEGAL NOTICE.” A notice to you goes to the email address you gave us. Keep it current — it is the only address we have.

The limit of what we owe

If something in your documents is wrong, tell us and we will make it right where we can — that promise comes first, and the Refunds page carries its strongest form. Beyond it: our total liability for any claim arising out of or connected to a read — however the claim is framed — is limited to the amount you paid us for that read. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost goodwill, or lost data. On a free seat, nothing was paid, and that is the limit. Some places do not allow some of these limits; where a law gives you a protection that cannot be waived by agreement, that law governs.

What a verdict is — and what it is not

THE SCRIPT VERDICT is an evaluation of your screenplay: findings anchored to your own pages, an honest Current Read, and a conditional Estimated Potential tied to the named priority revisions. It is not a prediction about the market, and it is not a promise of outcomes. It does not promise representation, a sale, an option, a production, festival selection, awards, or any commercial result. The decisions you make from your documents are yours.

Anything not written here

Anything this page does not set out is as stated at purchase. Where any wording differs, the stricter protection of the writer governs. Questions go to support@lovingmywords.com.
