These Terms apply to visitors, registered users, filmmakers, project submitters, ticket or pass purchasers, accredited media, sponsors, partners, and other persons who access or use the Service. Certain activities may also be governed by additional written rules, submission agreements, ticket terms, accreditation terms, sponsorship agreements, privacy policies, or third-party platform terms. If a specific written agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding the same subject matter, the more specific agreement will control.

1. Acceptance and Changes to Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. We may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms become effective when posted unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher, to enter into transactions or binding agreements through the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, Company, production, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

3. Limited Right to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service for lawful personal, informational, submission, accreditation, ticketing, or business-interaction purposes expressly permitted by the Company.

The Company may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or any portion of the Service at any time, subject to applicable law and any separate written agreement.

Certain features may require an account or registration through the Company or a third-party platform.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by law.

5. Film and Project Submissions; Fees

The Company may accept film, episodic, short-form, social/vertical, podcast, music video, and other project submissions directly or through third-party submission platforms.

Submission fees and other fees are non-refundable except where expressly stated by the Company or required by law. Payment processing may be performed by third parties. Submission does not guarantee selection, screening, nomination, award, distribution, acquisition, press coverage, or any other outcome.

6. Tickets, Passes, Credentials, and Events

Tickets, passes, credentials, invitations, and event access may be subject to availability, capacity, venue rules, security requirements, age restrictions, separate terms, and schedule changes.

The Company may change programs, films, guests, venues, schedules, screening formats, or event details when reasonably necessary. Refunds, exchanges, and transferability are governed by the terms disclosed at purchase and applicable law.

8. Las Vegas Film Festival Marks

The Las Vegas Film Festival name, logos, festival branding, and associated marks are proprietary to Las Vegas Film Festival LLC. You may not use them in a manner that falsely suggests endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, affiliation, or official status without prior written authorization.

9. User Content

If you submit comments, reviews, photographs, posts, testimonials, or other user-generated material through the Service ("User Content"), you retain ownership of your User Content but grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, display, distribute, and use it as reasonably necessary to operate, promote, and improve the Service and the Company activities.

A valid notice generally must identify the copyrighted work, identify the allegedly infringing material and its location, provide sufficient contact information, include the required good-faith and accuracy statements, and include the signature of an authorized person.

The Company endeavors to provide accurate information, but festival schedules, selections, guests, programs, venues, awards, sponsors, availability, and other information may change. Unless expressly stated in a binding written agreement, information on the Service is provided for general informational and promotional purposes and does not constitute a guarantee of any particular result or opportunity.

19. Suspension and Termination

The Company may suspend or terminate access to the Service for a material violation of these Terms, suspected fraud or security threats, unlawful activity, or conduct that may harm the Company, the Service, users, partners, or third parties. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law applies.

21. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Except where prohibited by law or where the parties agree otherwise in writing, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the rules applicable to the dispute. The arbitration shall be conducted in Clark County, Nevada, unless the parties agree to another location or remote proceeding.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights, confidential information, security, or against unauthorized use while arbitration is pending. Any matter not subject to arbitration shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada, subject to applicable federal jurisdictional rules.

The Service may be accessible internationally. You are responsible for compliance with laws applicable to your access and use. The Company makes no representation that every feature, transaction, program, or offering is lawful or available in every jurisdiction.

23. No Waiver; Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. The Company 's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

24. Effect of Other Agreements

These Terms do not replace a separate written submission agreement, sponsorship agreement, license, filmmaker agreement, ticketing term, accreditation agreement, participation agreement, privacy policy, DMCA policy, or other specific agreement between you and the Company. Where a specific agreement governs a particular transaction or activity, that agreement controls to the extent of a conflict.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with policies and specific agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between you and the Company concerning your general use of the Service.
