Full Body Chills Art Submission Terms.
These Art Submission Terms (“Terms”) apply to any artwork, image, illustration, or other visual material (“Artwork”) you submit to Audiochuck, LLC (“Audiochuck,” “we,” or “us”) through the Full Body Chills art submission page. By checking the box and submitting, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t submit.
1. Why we require these Terms. We receive many art submissions. Many are similar to one another, or to artwork we, our employees, or our partners have created or can otherwise access. We would not review your Artwork unless you agreed to these Terms.
2. No confidentiality. You submit your Artwork voluntarily and not in confidence. No confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship exists or is created between you and Audiochuck by your submission.
3. Review only; separate agreement required. By submitting, you allow Audiochuck to review your Artwork and share it internally to decide whether to work with you. We will not otherwise publish or use your Artwork unless you and Audiochuck sign a separate written agreement. If we choose to engage you, we will offer you that agreement. It will cover any payment, revisions to adapt your Artwork to a Full Body Chills story, credit, and how we may use the Artwork. Any right to compensation, credit, or other terms will come only from that agreement, once both you and Audiochuck have signed it. Without a signed agreement, no agreement exists between us about your Artwork, whether express, implied, or based on industry custom. Reviewing, discussing, requesting changes to, or expressing interest in your Artwork does not create an agreement or obligation.
4. No obligation. We are not obligated to review, select, use, respond to, or negotiate with you about your Artwork.
5. Similar material. You acknowledge that artwork developed, created, commissioned, acquired, licensed, or otherwise obtained by Audiochuck, or third-party material we have access to, may be similar or identical to your Artwork in subject, style, composition, or other respects. This includes artwork by other artists for the same story or episode. You are not entitled to compensation because of our use of any such similar or identical material. Doing so gives you no claim against us.
6. Our content. You do not acquire any rights in the Full Body Chills name, logos, episodes, stories, or other Audiochuck content, even if your Artwork is inspired by them or includes them. You may not use our names or logos to suggest Audiochuck sponsors or endorses you or your work.
7. Your promises. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are the sole creator and owner of the Artwork and have the right to submit it; (b) you have not given anyone exclusive rights in the Artwork; (c) it was not generated or substantially created with generative artificial intelligence; (d) it does not infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, or other rights, including by copying another artist’s work or a third party’s characters; and (e) it does not depict a real, identifiable person without their permission. You will indemnify Audiochuck against claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from any breach of these promises.
8. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive, release, and forever discharge Audiochuck from any and all claims, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to the Artwork or its review or use. You agree never to bring any such claim. You expressly waive the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party,” and of any similar law in any jurisdiction. This release does not apply to claims under any separate written agreement signed under Section 3.
9. Dispute resolution. Any dispute relating to these Terms or your Artwork will be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS in Los Angeles County, California, under its then-current rules. Good-faith discussion and mediation come first, but skipping mediation is not a breach of these Terms. You and Audiochuck waive any right to a jury trial or to bring claims in court. The prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Your sole remedy is money damages; you may not seek injunctive or other equitable relief. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
10. Copies. Keep a copy of your Artwork. We won’t return submissions and aren’t responsible for their loss or damage.
11. General. “Audiochuck” includes our affiliates and our and their employees, agents, contractors, licensees, and assigns. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be omitted and the rest will remain in effect. California law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. These Terms are the entire agreement about your submission. No oral statements change them. Your personal information is handled under our https://audiochuck.com/privacy-notice.
12. Counsel. You may consult an independent attorney before agreeing to these Terms. By submitting, you confirm you have read and understand these Terms and are agreeing voluntarily.
