1. Who we are and how you agree

The Vision Movie service is operated by Malcolm Hedley Cohan (ABN 40 327 342 135), trading as Vision Movie, of 189 Federal Drive, Federal NSW 2480, Australia ("we", "us", "our"). "You" means the person named in the Acceptance section, and, where you work through a company, agency, management team or loan-out entity (your "Representative Entity"), that entity as well. You and your Representative Entity are bound jointly and each is responsible for the other's compliance.

You agree to these terms when you tick the box on the invitation or first page of the app that says you accept them, or sign the Acceptance section, or accept the offer of a Creator Movie in any other way, or open any Confidential Information we give you. These terms are the whole agreement between us about the Creator Movie and the matters in them. They sit on top of our Privacy Policy. They replace the ordinary consumer Terms of Service for the Creator Movie, except that the Content Rules and the enforcement clauses in clauses 6 and 7 are the same.

2. Words used in these terms

3. The offer, and the two paths

We offer to make you a Creator Movie at no charge, and to give you a 30-minute Zoom call with Hedley Cohan to shape it. You pay nothing, and you are not obliged to enter any Business Relationship. There are two paths.

Path A: the gift only

If no Partnership Agreement is signed, the Creator Movie is a private gift. Clause 9 applies in full: we own it, and you have a limited licence to watch it and keep a copy for yourself, and nothing more. This is the default. It applies automatically if you do not reply, if talks end, or if you decline.

Path B: a Business Relationship

You may use the Creator Movie publicly, or earn commission, only to the extent a signed Partnership Agreement says so, and then only subject to clause 10 (Music). The Partnership Agreement may extend what you may do with the Creator Movie, but cannot reduce the protections in clauses 11 to 15 unless it says so expressly and by clause number.

Workshops: the same for everyone

Whatever your tier or your Partnership Agreement says about movies, a Vision Movie Workshop seat earns you the same as it earns every affiliate: 25% of what is paid for each seat booked through your link or your movie page (A$90 at the A$360 early bird price, A$112.50 at the full A$450), on the affiliate terms at /affiliate. Any higher rate in your Partnership Agreement or on your personal invitation page applies to Vision Movies only, not to workshops.

No legal partnership

The word "partnership" in this document and in our conversations describes a commercial deal. Nothing in these terms or in any conversation creates a legal partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship between us, or lets either of us bind or speak for the other. We may stop talking to you at any time without giving a reason. Until a Partnership Agreement is signed, neither of us owes the other any commission, fee, exclusivity or continued discussion.

4. Who may take up the offer

5. Your material and your responsibility

You are the author and the director of what goes into your movie. You write the answers; you edit each caption and description; you choose among the generated images; and you approve every scene before any video is made. We provide the tools. You carry the responsibility for what you supply and approve.

By uploading or approving anything you confirm that:

You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process, transmit and modify your Creator Material, and to send the parts that are needed to the AI providers that generate your scenes, only as long as needed to make and deliver the Creator Movie, keep the records in clause 7 and comply with law. We do not use your face, your writing or your movie to train AI models.

6. Content rules

These are the same Content Rules as in our ordinary Terms of Service. You may not use the service to create, request, upload, approve or share anything that:

  1. involves a child: no photographs of anyone under 18, and no scene depicting a minor;
  2. depicts another real person without their consent: your ideal self is the only real person your movie may portray, and no person may ever be shown in a sexual, violent, humiliating, deceptive or defamatory way;
  3. is sexual: no nudity, sexual acts or sexualised posing;
  4. is violent, cruel or extremist;
  5. is hateful or harassing, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity;
  6. is illegal or promotes crime;
  7. is deceptive: no movie presented as real footage, no impersonation, no removal of the AI disclosure in clause 8, no scams, disinformation or political manipulation;
  8. infringes anyone's rights, including copyrighted music, characters, artwork or footage you have no right to use;
  9. attacks the service: no bypassing of prompt rewriting or provider filters, no scraping or bulk generation, no malware.

7. How we enforce the rules

8. AI disclosure and gift disclosure

Every Creator Movie is generated with AI. Exported movies close on a site-name card and may carry embedded provenance data identifying the file as AI-generated. You may not remove, hide, crop out or alter that disclosure. Following each platform's AI-labelling rules is your responsibility.

If a Partnership Agreement lets you publish the Creator Movie, you must also say clearly, in each post or page where you publish it or promote the service, that the movie was a gift from us and that you may earn a commission (in the form the platform and the law of your country require, such as "#gift" and "#ad"). Where your law requires a different disclosure, follow your law.

9. Who owns what, and who may use the movie

9.1 We own the Creator Movie, until it passes to you

As between you and us, the Creator Movie, including its structure, scene sequence, direction, edit, captions, soundtrack selection and every file that makes it up, is made by us with our Method and belongs to us, except that clause 9.5 passes it to a Platinum creator when a Partnership Agreement is signed. To the extent that you hold or acquire any copyright or other right in the Creator Movie as a whole or in its compilation, you assign it to us on creation, and you agree to sign anything reasonably needed to confirm that. Because the Creator Movie is generated with AI, copyright protection may be limited or unavailable in some countries; our ownership is intended to be as full as the law allows, and the restrictions in this clause apply whether or not copyright subsists.

9.2 You keep your own material

Clause 9.1 does not take away anything that is yours. Your Creator Material remains yours: your photographs, your name, handle, likeness and voice, your written answers, and anything you upload. Owning the Creator Movie does not give us ownership of you.

9.3 Your licence under Path A: private use only

Unless and until a signed Partnership Agreement says otherwise, we give you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to watch the Creator Movie and to keep a copy for yourself and to show it privately to family, friends and your own team for the purpose of deciding whether to enter a Business Relationship. You may not, and you must not allow anyone else to:

  1. publish, post, upload, stream, broadcast or otherwise make the Creator Movie or any part of it available to the public, on any social media, channel, platform, app store or messaging group open to the public;
  2. use it, or any frame, clip, still, caption, or sound from it, on or in any website, landing page, newsletter, course, product, presentation, event, podcast or video that you or anyone you work with controls or is paid for;
  3. use it in any advertising, marketing, promotion, sponsorship, brand deal, endorsement, affiliate or lead-generation activity, paid or unpaid, for yourself, your Representative Entity or any other person, product or service;
  4. sell, license, lend, rent or give the Creator Movie to anyone, or earn or accept money or any benefit from its use;
  5. edit, re-cut, re-voice, translate, re-caption, re-score, enhance, upscale or make a derivative work of it, or use it to train, test or fine-tune any AI system;
  6. remove or change the AI disclosure in clause 8, any credit to us, or any watermark or provenance data;
  7. use it to suggest that we endorse you or any product of yours, or that you created the Vision Movie or the Method.

Your licence is limited to the Creator Movie as we deliver it. You get no licence to any part of the Method, the Marks or the Music, other than watching the movie as supplied.

9.4 We will not use your movie or your likeness without your written permission

We will not, without your prior written permission given for the specific use: publish, post, display, screen, enter in a gallery, sell, license or otherwise use the Creator Movie, or any part of it, or your Creator Material, name, handle, image, likeness, voice or answers, in any website, advertising, marketing, social media post, presentation, example, case study, press release, event or product, or suggest that you endorse or are associated with us or the service. Permission may be refused for any reason, may be limited in time or place, and may be withdrawn for future use.

Nothing in this clause 9.4 stops us from doing the following, which we may do without asking: store, process, back up and deliver the Creator Movie to you; show it to staff and contractors who need to see it to make, repair, support or protect it; show it to our advisers, insurers and the AI and infrastructure providers we use, under a duty of confidence; keep the records in clause 7; disclose it where the law or a court requires; and defend or enforce our rights in a dispute. We may also describe, without using your movie, name or likeness, that "creators have been offered movies" in general terms, but we will not name you or identify you.

9.5 Under Path B

If a Partnership Agreement is signed, it sets out what you may do with the Creator Movie, and what we may do with it, in specific ways, on specific platforms and for a specific time (for example, to post it as a Reel and keep our link in your bio while the post is up). Every use you are given is limited to what the agreement says, is conditional on clause 10 (Music), clause 8 (disclosure) and your continuing compliance with these terms, and ends when the Partnership Agreement ends, except as follows.

Platinum creators own the movie. Where the Partnership Agreement is with a Platinum creator, we assign to you the copyright and any other rights we hold in the Creator Movie, from the date the Partnership Agreement is signed by both of us. What passes to you is the Creator Movie only. It does not include the Method, the Marks, the software or the Music: the Method and the Marks remain ours, you may not remove the closing card or the credit to Hedley Cohan as the creator of the Vision Movie (clauses 8 and 12.7), and the Music stays subject to clause 10. If the Partnership Agreement ends because you breached it or breached clause 11 or 12, ownership of the Creator Movie returns to us, and clause 9.3 applies to it again.

For every other creator, ownership of the Creator Movie stays with us unless the Partnership Agreement says in so many words that it passes to you. Clause 9.4 continues to apply to our use of your movie and Creator Material throughout, and the Partnership Agreement may widen what we may do only by naming the use.

9.6 If you decline, or the talks end

If you tell us you do not want to proceed, or no Partnership Agreement is signed within 90 days after the Creator Movie is delivered, or a Partnership Agreement ends (other than where clause 9.5 has passed ownership to you and it did not end through your breach), then from that point you must not publish the Creator Movie or any part of it, you must delete every public copy of it, and clause 9.3 continues to apply to any private copy you keep. We may, but need not, delete the Creator Movie from our systems 90 days after that point; we will do so sooner on your written request, except for the records in clause 7.

10. Music

10.1 The Music is not cleared for you. You acknowledge that the Music in the Creator Movie, whether you chose it from our library, picked it from another source, or uploaded it, is not cleared for your public or commercial use unless we have confirmed in writing, using the form in Schedule 2 (a "Music Clearance Notice"), that a named track may be used by you in a stated way. In particular:

10.2 Clearance before publication. Under Path B, or otherwise, you may not publish, post, broadcast, advertise or otherwise use the Creator Movie, or any part of it that contains Music, in any public or commercial way, unless one of these has happened first:

  1. We have cleared it. We have negotiated the rights for a stated use and sent you a Music Clearance Notice for that track, and you use it only within the platforms, countries, period and uses it states; or
  2. You have cleared it. You have, at your own cost, obtained a written licence from the rights holders covering your intended use, platforms, countries and period, and you have given us a copy before you publish; or
  3. The Music is removed. You publish only a version with the Music removed or replaced by music you have the right to use, which we will supply on request.

10.3 No obligation on us. We are not obliged to negotiate, seek or pay for any music rights. We may decline, set conditions, or charge the cost of any clearance to you. A Music Clearance Notice is valid only for the track and uses it names, and only while we say so; we may withdraw it for future use if our own licence ends, in which case you must stop new uses and, where we ask, take down existing ones within 7 days.

10.4 Your risk and your indemnity. If you publish or use the Creator Movie with Music that has not been cleared under clause 10.2, that is your breach, you do so at your own risk, and clause 19 applies, including to any claim, demand, licence fee, back-payment, takedown, demonetisation, account strike or penalty against us or you from a music publisher, label, rights society, platform or anyone else.

11. Confidentiality

11.1 You must keep all Confidential Information secret. You may use it only to decide whether to enter a Business Relationship, to make and view your own Creator Movie, and to perform a signed Partnership Agreement. You may not use it for any other purpose, and you must not tell, show, copy, photograph, record, transcribe, summarise or pass it to anyone, or let anyone find it out.

11.2 You must take at least the care with Confidential Information that you take with your own most confidential matters, and no less than reasonable care. You must not record, or transcribe with AI notetakers, any call, Zoom or meeting with us without our prior written consent.

11.3 You may disclose Confidential Information only to the extent a law or court order requires it, and only after giving us as much notice as the law allows, so that we can object.

11.4 You may tell your lawyers, accountants and a small number of named managers or team members who need to know it for the purpose in clause 11.1, but only after each has agreed in writing to keep it confidential on terms no less protective than these, and you are responsible for any breach by them as if it were your own. On request you must give us their names.

11.5 Confidential Information stops being confidential only where you can show it became public through no breach of yours or anyone you told. The fact that something is public in part, or is a combination of public items, does not make the combination public.

11.6 This clause 11 protects what we disclose to you. It does not stop us from keeping your Creator Material confidential as clause 9.4 requires, and we will treat your private business information that you give us in the course of talks as confidential as well.

12. Protecting the Vision Movie idea

In return for the Creator Movie and the opportunity to work with us, you undertake that you will not, directly or indirectly, alone or with or through anyone else (including your Representative Entity, your team, an agency, an investor, a production company, a developer or a contractor), without our prior written permission:

  1. No copying. Copy, reproduce, adapt, translate or imitate the Method, our question set, caption style, scene structure, branding, website, app, voucher or creator programmes, or anything in our materials, other than sharing your own movie as clause 9 allows.
  2. No competing offering. Design, build, fund, launch, run, license, teach, promote, endorse or take a share of any Competing Offering, or help anyone else to do so, using or informed by the Method or any Confidential Information.
  3. No going around us. Use what you learn from us to contract directly with any developer, AI provider, music provider, payment provider, agency, platform, creator or customer introduced to you or identified through us, in order to make or sell a Competing Offering or to avoid or reduce what you would owe us under a Business Relationship; or approach any person in our network about a Competing Offering.
  4. No reverse engineering. Reverse-engineer, decompile, probe, monitor, scrape, or try to extract the prompts, pipeline, model configurations or business logic behind the service, by inspecting the software, by crafting inputs, by comparing outputs, by using the Creator Movie or its outputs, or by any other means.
  5. No replicating by AI. Use the Creator Movie, our materials, screenshots or recordings of our service, or the outputs of the service, as a prompt, example, reference or training material for any AI system, or to make a product that imitates the Vision Movie.
  6. No use of our names. Use the Marks, or anything confusingly similar, in the name, branding or promotion of any product, service, course, event, handle or domain, or in any way that suggests we endorse or are connected with you, other than as a Partnership Agreement expressly allows.
  7. No claiming the idea. Present the Method or the Vision Movie concept as your own creation, or take or apply for any patent, trade mark, design, domain name or other registration in anything derived from it. Where you refer to them publicly (including after a Business Relationship ends), you must credit Hedley Cohan as the creator of the Vision Movie.
  8. No helping others. Encourage, assist or allow any other person to do any of the things above, or fail to take reasonable steps to stop a person under your control from doing so.

12.9 Independent creation. If, within the period in clause 13.2, you or any Associated Person launches, announces or invests in a Competing Offering, you must, on our written request, within 14 days give us a written statement of who is behind it, and the dated records showing it was created independently and without using the Method or Confidential Information. You agree that, in any proceeding between us about whether a Competing Offering was derived from the Method or Confidential Information, the fact that you had access to them, and that the Competing Offering is substantially similar, is sufficient to put the burden on you to prove that it was independently created.

12.10 What you have already. You have listed in Schedule 1 every existing or planned project, product or business of yours (or of your Representative Entity) that is, or could be, a Competing Offering. Anything not listed there is taken not to exist at the date you accept these terms. Listing something there does not let you use our Method or Confidential Information in it.

12.10A Your team: every Associated Person is your responsibility. You acknowledge that the people who work for you are the most likely route by which the Method could be copied, and you accept that risk as yours. Accordingly:

  1. Their use is your use. Any use of the service, the app, a creator code, a voucher, a link or a Vision Movie account by an Associated Person, whether with the free code we gave you, with an account they opened and paid for themselves, through your link, or in any other way, is treated as use by you under these terms, whether or not you knew of it, and whether or not they used your name.
  2. You bind them. Before any Associated Person sees Confidential Information, attends a call with us, or uses the service on your behalf, you must make them aware of clauses 9 to 15 and ensure they are bound, by their employment or engagement terms or in writing, to obligations no less protective than these. On request you must give us their names and show us those terms.
  3. Their breach is your breach. Any act or omission of an Associated Person that would be a breach of these terms if done by you is a breach by you, and clauses 15 and 19 apply to it. This is in addition to any claim we may have against the Associated Person directly under the ordinary Terms of Service, which bind every account holder personally.
  4. A Competing Offering near you is treated as yours. If, within the period in clause 13.2, an Associated Person, or any business in which you or an Associated Person has an interest or role, launches, announces, funds or works on a Competing Offering, clause 12.9 applies as if you had launched it: on our request you must give us the facts within 14 days, and it is for you to show that it was created without the Method or Confidential Information. You must not avoid these terms by having an Associated Person, a new company or a third party do what you may not do yourself.
  5. The free code is for you alone. The code and the movie are personal. An Associated Person may help you with the administration of your account, but may not use the code, upload their own photographs, make a movie, or open or operate an account in order to study the service for you. A Vision Movie made by an Associated Person with your code is a breach, and we may cancel it without refund or replacement.

12.11 What these restrictions do not stop. They do not stop you using general skills, knowledge and experience you already had or that are available to the public from sources other than us; making films, videos or vision statements of your own that do not use our Method, Confidential Information or Marks; telling people that you were offered or made a movie, once and only if the Creator Movie has been cleared for that publication under clause 9 and clause 10; or doing anything the law requires or expressly allows regardless of contract.

13. How long the restrictions last

  1. The restrictions on the Creator Movie in clause 9.3 last for as long as we hold any right in it, unless a Partnership Agreement says otherwise. Your obligations about the Marks (clause 12.6) and about crediting Hedley Cohan (clause 12.7) last for as long as those rights exist.
  2. The restrictions in clauses 11 and 12 last for five years after the earlier of the date you accept these terms and the last date we disclose Confidential Information to you, and, for clause 11, afterwards for as long as the information stays confidential. If a Business Relationship begins, they last for the term of it and five years after it ends.
  3. The restriction on a Competing Offering in clause 12.2 and the non-circumvention in clause 12.3 last for 36 months after the later of the date you accept these terms and the date any Business Relationship ends, anywhere in the world. Each is a separate and independent undertaking, and if a court finds that the period or the area is wider than is reasonable, clause 14 reads it down to what is enforceable.
  4. The periods in this clause 13 are extended by any time you are in breach.

14. Reasonable and severable

You acknowledge that the Method and the idea behind it are valuable, that we are disclosing them to you in reliance on these terms, that you receive real value in return (a free movie, a call with Hedley Cohan, and the chance of a commercial deal), that each restriction is reasonable and no wider than needed to protect our legitimate interests in our confidential information, goodwill and business, and that you have had the chance to take your own legal advice. If any restriction is found to be unenforceable, it is to be read down to the widest extent that is enforceable, and if it cannot be read down it is cut out and the rest continues in full. Each clause is a separate undertaking.

15. If these terms are broken

16. Sharing, platforms and what you may say

When you are allowed to publish the Creator Movie, you do so under each platform's rules, and the platform, not us, decides what happens to it there. When you promote the service you must not make any claim about health, lifespan, medical outcomes, income or other results that our site does not itself make, and you must not call the service a medical, scientific or financial service. You must not speak for us, quote us, or describe the terms of our dealings, except as a Partnership Agreement allows.

17. No promises about results

18. Limits on our liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that:

19. Your release and indemnity

Release. To the extent the law allows, you release us, our directors, staff and contractors from any claim arising from the content of your movie and how you use it, from how any other person uses or reacts to it, from any decision you make in reliance on the service, and from your breach of these terms.

Indemnity. You indemnify us against the reasonable losses, costs, fines, licence fees and legal costs we suffer as a direct result of: your content breaking the Content Rules or infringing anyone's rights; your use or publication of the Creator Movie outside what clause 9 allows or with Music not cleared under clause 10; your breach of clauses 11 or 12; or your Representative Entity's or team's breach of these terms. This indemnity is limited to loss caused by your breach, does not apply to the extent we caused the loss ourselves, and does not affect any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

20. Ending, suspension and deletion

21. Complaints and takedown

If you believe the Creator Movie or any use of it breaks these terms, or the Content Rules, or shows you without your consent, email us at the address below with a description. We act on reports promptly, usually within two business days, and we may remove content while we look into it.

22. Changes to these terms

We cannot change these terms for you without your written agreement, other than to correct a clear error or to comply with a change in the law, in which case we will tell you in writing first. The terms in force when you accept them govern the Creator Movie and everything you receive from us.

23. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and each of us submits to the courts of that State and the Commonwealth of Australia. Before either of us starts a claim (other than for urgent injunctive relief, which either of us may seek at once), we will each try to resolve the matter by talking: write to the other, and the other will reply within ten business days. A notice under these terms must be in writing and sent to the email address in the Acceptance section or in clause 24.

These terms are personal to you and you may not transfer them. We may transfer our rights to a successor business on notice to you. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it.
