SUBMISSIONS
TomCat
Productions & Studios is pleased to hear from our loyal fans and
welcomes your comments regarding TomCat Productions & Studios products
and services, including TomCat Production's online services.
Unfortunately, however, TomCat's company policy does not allow it to
accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than
those it has specifically requested. We hope you will understand that it
is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future
misunderstandings when projects developed by TomCat's professional staff
might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work.
Accordingly, we must, regretfully, ask that you do not send us any
original creative materials such as stories or character ideas, or
screenplays. While we do value your feedback on our services and products,
we request that you be specific in your comments on those services and
products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials.
If
at our request you send certain specific submissions (e.g., postings to
TomCat Productions & Studios'
art / photos, chat boards, or contests) or, despite our request that you
not send us any other creative materials, you send us creative
suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts, or other information (collectively,
the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, the
property of TomCat. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any
obligation of confidence on the part of TomCat, and TomCat shall not be
liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of
the foregoing, TomCat shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter
existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and nature throughout the
universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for
any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to
the provider of the Submissions.
