Introduction to our terms and conditions

These terms and conditions are how we make sure that we are all accountable to one another and that we all understand how the platform works.

The Terms and Conditions must be accepted by any user wishing to access the site. They constitute the contract between the site and the user. Access to the site by the user signifies acceptance of these general conditions of use.

In the event of non-acceptance of the general conditions of use stipulated in this contract, the user must renounce access to the services offered by the site.

Before diving into the full legal terms, here are some things to keep in mind about the DramaFest Salon platform and what you are agreeing to when you register.

A- Different types of users have different permissions on this site:

A student: can see, upload pieces and comment on content
A teacher: can see, upload, moderate content and comments of their own students, share the adjudicator comments and generate private links for the families and guests
An adjudicator: can see and upload comments privately on the teacher’s profile
A workshop facilitator: can upload course content and moderate the discussion for their class.
A Family member/Guest: a guest has a private link to see only the piece they receive this link for. This is a one-time use link and cannot be used more than once.

B- The content is “user generated” which means;

The user who uploads the work is the person responsible for its rights and by uploading it, they declare and discharge completely NTSC:

If it is not an original piece, the rights and royalties have been paid and the user undertakes to inform NTSC;
If the uploaded piece is an original, the work is the property of the user, no one can or should use it outside of this platform without their permission and same goes for the user in regards of other people’s works.

The DramaFest Salon team will not have any rights to your piece other than to display it on this platform, at your request. Any content posted by the user is their sole responsibility. The user agrees not to upload any content that could harm the interests of third parties. Any legal action brought by an injured third party against the site will be borne by the user.

User content can be removed from the site at any time and for any reason. The user receives no justification or notification prior to the deletion.
