Terms and Conditions for Supply of Master Copies and Copying Licences |
1. | What we provide |
| We provide master copies of the scripts (made available for download from the Lazy Bee Scripts web site) in two formats: |
| The Cast Copy provided as a PDF file, formatted as interleaved pages, designed to be printed, then copied double-sided and folded to form a booklet (which is easier to handle in rehearsals than full pages of A4 or Letter size) |
| The Producer's Copy, which is provided in a Word document in A4 or Letter size (according to your choice from the ordering system). This contains the script plus additional production notes (which vary from script to script). |
| If we supply a music score with the script then it is available as a .pdf file. (Most browsers can display and print .pdf files, if yours can't, then a reader is available as a free download from the Adobe web site, www.adobe.com - search for free PDF reader.) |
| |
2. | Use of the Script |
| Master copies are provided for the purposes of preparing for a production (or for the use of a script in a Classroom, where the only people present are tutors and members of the class). Possession of master copies does not convey any rights to performance of the script before an audience, in whole or in part. |
| (Performance licences may be obtained from Lazy Bee Scripts according to the scale of fees set out on the Lazy Bee Scripts web site.) |
| |
3. | If you purchase Master Copies, you may:- |
| Print as many copies as you need for the purposes of your organisation (theatre group, school, etc.) except where excluded by other clauses in these terms. |
| Make minor changes - see below - to the script to suit the needs of your group. (If you want to make major changes, then you need to ask us first.) |
| The authors of British pantomimes (and some other scripts) allow 'localisations' (usually topical references and changing place names to refer to local places) to be made without needing separate permission. These are classed as minor changes. |
| |
4. | If you purchase Master Copies, then you may not:- |
| Sell or otherwise transfer the master copies, individual scripts or sets of scripts to any party outside your organisation in printed or electronic form. (Master copies are supplied for your organisation alone.) |
| Represent the work contained in the master scripts as your own. (All the work is copyrighted by the authors. Breach of copyright is actionable in a court of law.) |
| Make changes to the text of the work (other than the exception noted in 3) unless you have obtained permission from Lazy Bee Scripts. Changes that require permission include changes to title, names, characters, plot and speech. |
| |
5. | Returns and Refunds |
| If you buy a script by mistake, or if we make the wrong script available for download, you have the right to refund and/or replacement provided that you notify Lazy Bee Scripts within 7 days of your order being accepted by us. If you wish to request a refund or replacement, please contact us before taking any other action. (For example, it is easier and cheaper for us to process a refund than if you cancel a transaction with your credit card company.) See our Contact page for contact details. Please quote your order number in any correspondence. |
| Since Master Copies are generally provided as electronic copies, the concept of a return is meaningless. |
