BH MOVIES LEGAL

Submission Terms

Last updated: 14 November 2026

These terms apply to every script, treatment, outline, idea or other material sent to BH Movies Ltd for consideration. By submitting material to us you agree to them. Please read them before you submit.

1. Who we are

BH Movies Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14662676. Our registered office is Ocean View Unit Base, 83 Grove Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, England, BH1 3AR. In these terms, “we” and “us” means BH Movies Ltd and any company we set up to develop or produce a project.

2. How to submit

We accept submissions only through Screenrep, using the link on our Got An Idea page. Screenrep is an independent platform, and its own terms and privacy policy also apply to your use of it.

Please do not send material by email, post, contact form or social media. Material sent outside our submissions process is not treated as confidential, will not be considered and may be deleted unread.

3. What you confirm when you submit

By submitting material, you confirm that:

you are at least 18 years old
you are the sole owner of the material, or you have the written authority of every owner and co-writer to submit it on these terms
the material is original and does not infringe anyone’s copyright, privacy, confidentiality or other rights, and is not defamatory
where the material is based on existing work, a true story or a real person, you hold the rights or permissions needed, or the work is in the public domain
you have told us about any previous option, sale, production, attachment or other agreement affecting the material
the information you give us is true and complete

4. No obligation on us

We receive a large number of submissions. We are not obliged to read, consider, respond to, give feedback on, return or keep any material. We are not obliged to develop, produce or pay for it.

Submitting material does not create any employment, agency, partnership or confidential relationship between you and us beyond what these terms set out.

5. Similar material

We and our partners are constantly developing projects, and we receive many submissions. Some may be similar or identical to yours in theme, idea, plot, setting, format or characters. This is especially likely in popular genres such as Christmas, romance and thriller.

You accept that we may develop, produce and exploit material that is similar to yours where it was created independently or came to us from another source. You will not be entitled to any payment or credit, and you will not bring a claim against us, simply because of that similarity.

Nothing in this section allows us to use your original, protected work without your agreement.

6. Your rights in your material

You keep all rights in your material. Submitting it does not transfer ownership to us.

You give us permission to store, copy and read your material, and to share it with our team, readers, advisers and potential production partners, solely to evaluate it. We will not produce or otherwise exploit your material unless we have signed a separate written agreement with you.

7. Confidentiality

We will take reasonable care of your material and share it only for the purpose of evaluating it. We have no duty of confidentiality for anything that is already public, already known to us, independently developed by us, or received from someone else.

8. If we are interested

If we would like to take your project further, we will contact you using the details you provided. Any option, purchase, writing engagement or other arrangement will only be binding once it is set out in a written agreement signed by both of us. Expressions of interest, notes or meetings do not commit either of us.

9. How long we keep your material

Submissions are reviewed by the BH Movies management team. We keep submitted material and the details provided with it for one year from the date of submission and then delete it, unless we are in active discussion with you or have entered into an agreement with you. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data.

Always keep your own copy. We are not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any material you send us.

10. Our liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law. Subject to that, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your submission, and our total liability to you in connection with a submission is limited to £100.

11. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force when you submit applies to that submission.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute. Our Website Terms also apply to your use of this website.
