2013 CAPE NEW WRITERS FELLOWSHIP
GENERAL RELEASE FORM
To Whom It May Concern:
I realize that many ideas, programs, slogans, scripts, plans, suggestions, and other literary and/or dramatic and/or musical
material (hereinafter, for convenience, collectively referred to as "the material"), which are submitted to you, are similar
to material previously used, previously submitted by others, or already under consideration by you. I further realize that
you must protect yourself against any unwarranted claims by refusing to examine any material submitted to you unless
you are assured that you shall have the unqualified right to finally determine whether such material or any part thereof is
in fact used by you or your successors, assignees or licensees, and what other consideration, if any, should be made for
such use.
I am submitting certain material to you herewith. In order to induce you to consider this material, I hereby irrevocably
waive, release, and relinquish any and all claims which I, or any person, firm or corporation claiming under or through
me, may now or hereafter have against you, your successors, assignees and licensees, and your and their respective
officers, employees and representatives, for any alleged use, that you, or your successors, assignees or licensees, may
make of any such material, which are consistent with the purposes for which the material was submitted.
I further agree that if you, your affiliates, your company and their respective officers, employees, representatives,
successors, and assigns produce or distribute a project based upon the same general idea, theme or situation and/or have
the same setting or background and/or taking place in the same geographical area or period of history as the said project
material, then unless you have substantially copied the expression and development of such idea, theme or situation,
including the characters and story line thereof, as herewith or hereafter submitted to you by me in writing, you shall have
no obligation or liability to me of any kind or character by reason of the production or distribution of such project(s), nor
shall you be obligated to compensate me in connection therewith. I agree that nothing in this agreement, nor the
submission of the project material, shall be deemed to place you in any different position from any other member of the
public with respect to the project material. Accordingly, any part of the project material that could be freely used by any
member of the public may be used by you without liability to me.
I further understand and agree that you are not responsible for the return of any material submitted, and I acknowledge
that I have retained a duplicate copy of such material in my possession. In addition, I understand that any fee submitted in
conjunction with said material will be donated to CAPE in order to offset costs incurred by the organization for the CAPE
NEW WRITERS FELLOWSHIP, and will not be returned if material is not selected.
Very truly yours,
(For each additional writer, if any)
