Terms of use
The rules for this website.
Short, and in normal English. These terms cover the website only. Hiring equipment, taking a training place or commissioning a film each have their own separate terms, and those are the ones that carry the money.

Using the site
What you can do, and the two things you cannot.
Read, print, share, quote
You may read anything here, print it, link to it, quote it and use it in your own work, including in teaching. If you quote a figure, please take the source clause with it — every figure on this site is written to travel with its source.
Use the free templates
Call sheets, risk assessments, kit lists and consent forms in the downloads library are free to use and adapt, including commercially. They are a starting point, not legal or safety advice, and you remain responsible for your own production.
Do not attack it
No attempting to break in, no bulk scraping that degrades the service for other people, no uploading anything malicious, and no using the forms to send abuse or spam.
Do not pass yourself off as us
Do not copy the site to imply we endorse you, and do not use our name or marks to suggest a partnership that does not exist. If you want to say you work with us, ask, and if it is true we will usually say yes.

Content
Whose the words and pictures are.
Ours
The text, design and photographs on this site belong to Futures in Film C.I.C. or to the people who made them for us, unless a credit line says otherwise. Photographs carry a credit and a consent record; please do not reuse a photograph of a person without asking.
Other people’s
Company names, product names and logos belonging to manufacturers, studios and partners are theirs. They appear here to describe equipment, relationships or context, and their appearance does not imply that they endorse us.
Work by people we support
Writers, directors and trainees keep their own work. Where a project developed with us appears on this site, it appears with permission and the rights position is set out in the Lab terms rather than here.
Sites we link to
We link out a great deal, on purpose, because signposting people to better sources is part of what we do. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for what is on them, and a link is not an endorsement of everything the organisation does.

The limits
What this site is, and is not.
It is information, not an offer
Nothing on this site is a contractual offer. Prices, rates, availability, programme dates and eligibility are indicative and can change. A hire, a place or a commission only exists once we have confirmed it to you in writing.
It is not advice
Career guidance, pay information, industry analysis and the AI material are published to help you think, not as legal, financial, employment or safety advice for your particular situation. Where a decision matters, get advice from someone qualified to give it.
We try to keep it accurate
Figures are sourced and dated, and where something is a proposal rather than a fact we say so. Things still go out of date. If you find something wrong, tell us — that is a genuine offer, and we would rather hear it from you than not at all.
We cannot promise it is always up
We do not guarantee that the site is available, uninterrupted or free of errors, and we may change or remove pages without notice. Where a page moves, we will try to redirect it rather than leave you at a dead end.
Liability, in plain words
We do not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud, and nothing here affects your legal rights as a consumer. Beyond that, the site is provided as it is, and we are not liable for loss arising from your use of it or from anything you rely on here without checking. That is the ordinary position for an informational website, and it does not affect any contract you enter into with us, which carries its own terms.

Housekeeping
Law, changes and complaints.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer elsewhere in the UK, you keep the protection of your own local law.
If we change them
We will update this page and change the date below. Material changes will be flagged rather than slipped in quietly.
If you are unhappy
Use the complaints procedure. It has named stages and real timescales. For anything about safety or conduct, use report a concern instead.
