These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your use of thescenescout.com and our services (together, “The Scene Scout”), which are operated by Premiere Production Group Ltd. (“we”, “us”). By using the site or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Other documents also apply: our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Notice, the Property Owner Agreement (if you list a property), and the Production Account Terms (if you hold a production account).
1. What The Scene Scout is
The Scene Scout is an online platform where property owners can list properties as filming locations, and where film, TV, commercial and photo productions can find them. We review listings and production accounts and introduce owners and productions to each other.
Unless we have agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement with you, we are not a party to any agreement between an owner and a production, and we are not their agent, broker, employer or insurer. We do not guarantee that any property is available, suitable, safe, properly permitted or accurately described, or that any production is reliable.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 18 and able to enter into a binding contract.
- If you act for a company or production, you confirm you have authority to do so.
- Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
- Keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Don’t share your login.
- Production accounts are approved by hand. We may approve, decline, limit or suspend any account at our discretion.
3. Listings
- We review each listing before it is published. We may decline, edit for format, or remove a listing at any time.
- Listing photos and general details are public. Exact addresses are not shown on the site.
- Owners are responsible for the accuracy of their listings and for having the right to list the property and to use the photos and other content they submit.
- Publishing a listing is not an endorsement or a guarantee of any kind.
4. 3D scans and restricted content
3D scans and certain other details are available only to production accounts we have approved. Nobody may copy, record, download, redistribute or publish restricted content, or get around the access controls on it. See the Production Account Terms for details.
5. Inquiries and agreements between owners and productions
Inquiries sent through the site are introductions. Any filming arrangement is made directly between the owner and the production. We strongly recommend that they sign a written location agreement, confirm any film permits the municipality requires, and that the production provides a certificate of insurance. We are not responsible for whether either side honours an agreement, or for what happens at a property.
6. Fees
Browsing the site and creating a listing are free. If we charge for an optional service or a fee applies to an arrangement made through The Scene Scout, we’ll tell you the price in writing before you agree. You are responsible for any applicable taxes.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- break the law or infringe anyone’s rights;
- post false, misleading or unlawful content, or impersonate anyone;
- try to identify, locate or contact an owner, occupant or neighbour outside the inquiry process, or work out a property’s address from its photos or scans;
- scrape or collect data from the site by automated means;
- bypass or test the security or access controls of the site;
- upload malware or interfere with the site’s operation;
- harass or threaten other users;
- use the site or its content for any purpose other than finding or listing filming locations.
8. Your content and our licence to use it
You keep ownership of the content you submit, such as photos, descriptions and messages. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display and promote that content in connection with running and promoting The Scene Scout. Restricted content, such as 3D scans, is shown only as described in these Terms and the Property Owner Agreement. You can ask us to remove your content. Once removed, the licence ends, except for backup copies and anything already lawfully shared.
9. Our intellectual property
The site, its design, text, logos and software belong to us or our licensors. We give you a limited, revocable permission to use the site as these Terms allow. You may not copy or reuse our materials without our written permission.
10. Third-party links and services
The site may link to or rely on third-party services. We don’t control them and are not responsible for them.
11. Disclaimers
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including about accuracy, availability, fitness for a purpose, or that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities or lost data, arising from your use of the site or from any dealings between owners and productions. Our total liability to you for any claim related to the site is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and $100 CAD. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Indemnity
You agree to defend and compensate us and our team against claims, losses and costs that arise from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your activities at or relating to any property, including any filming.
14. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access at any time if we believe you’ve broken these Terms or put others at risk. You can close your account at any time by contacting us. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as confidentiality, licences, disclaimers, liability and indemnity, continue after termination.
15. Changes
We may change the site or these Terms. We’ll update the date above, and for important changes we’ll notify you. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the new Terms.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, except where the law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
