If you are using this service on behalf of a company, studio, streamer, agency, government body or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization (as referenced by Customer, you, or your).
Product Overview
Service: Production Planner is an AI-assisted production planning, film and television production-location intelligence, and production-strategy platform. Production Planner may make changes to the Service at its sole discretion including but not limited to countries, commissions, incentive programmes, datasets, scoring models, usage limits (for instance: seats, file size, storage, model limits) and features.
Decision-Support Only: The Service is provided solely as a business decision-support tool and does not provide legal, tax, financial, production-services, location- management, or other professional advice. Parrot does not apply for incentives, obtain permits, file tax or rebate submissions or represent the Customer in any way.
B2B Use and Statutory Contracting Out: The Service is supplied for professional, business, and trade use only. Where the Customer and Parrot are both in trade: (i) the parties agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply; and (ii) the parties agree to contract out of sections 9, 12A, 13, and 14(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1986. Customer acknowledges that these arrangements are fair and reasonable because the Service is a professional decision-support tool subject to independent verification.
Access Rights and Licence
Access License: Parrot grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to access the Service solely for the internal business evaluation of a specific production project (the Permitted Purpose).

Parrot holds no responsibility for unauthorised use or distribution of the Outputs other than for the Permitted Purpose.
Permitted Sharing: Customer may share insights from Outputs with "Permitted Recipients" (financiers, advisers, production partners) provided they remain bound by confidentiality and all Parrot disclaimers will continue to apply.
Visual References: AI-generated visual references (posters, splash images) are licensed for internal creative reference only and are not cleared for commercial marketing, public release, or trademark exploitation.
Account suspension. Parrot may suspend or restrict an account, invitation, project, or user where reasonably necessary to protect the Service, Customer, Parrot, other customers, data security, legal compliance, or the integrity of Parrot Data.
Customer Data and Content
Ownership and Rights: As between the parties, and subject to the grants expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer retains all ownership rights, title, and interest in and to the data or information provided by Customer to Parrot via the Service, including but not limited to uploaded scripts, screenplays, pitch decks, budget estimates, and production documents (collectively the Customer Content).
License: During the term of this Agreement, Customer grants to Parrot a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, and sub-licensable right and license to host, store, copy, transmit, extract, parse, process, display, analyse, transform, and create Outputs from Customer Data solely in connection with providing, securing, and maintaining the Service for the Customer.
Customer Responsibility: Customer possesses the necessary rights and consents to grant Parrot the rights set forth in this Agreement and warrants that no Customer Data will infringe, misappropriate, or violate any Intellectual Property Rights, rights of privacy, or rights of publicity.
No AI model training on Customer Content: Notwithstanding any other provision, Parrot expressly warrants and represents that it shall not use Customer Content or any other confidential materials uploaded by the Customer to train, fine-tune, calibrate, validate, or otherwise improve any general-purpose artificial intelligence, large language model (LLM), or generative AI system.
Subprocessor Compliance: Parrot further warrants that it shall impose identical contractual restrictions on its AI Providers and subprocessors, ensuring that Customer Content is processed solely for the generation of Customer-specific Outputs and is never ingested into a provider's public or shared training datasets.

Parrot shall not be liable for script analysis errors resulting from Customer Content that lacks explicit environmental, cultural, or physical descriptors necessary for the model to draw accurate conclusions.

Except as required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise, all fees are non-refundable.
Taxes: Fees exclude GST, VAT, and withholding taxes, for which Customer is responsible.
Term, Termination, and Effects of Termination
Term: This Agreement continues until all subscriptions or access periods have expired or been terminated. Unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase, subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration unless cancelled before the applicable renewal date.
Trial periods: Trial, pilot, beta, evaluation, internal, guest, or free access may be provided by Parrot for evaluation purposes only.

Customer, at its sole expense, will defend Parrot from and against any and all Claims and indemnify Parrot from any related damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses that are awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or included in a settlement approved, in advance, and in writing, by Customer resulting from or arising in connection with:
The alleged or actual breach of any of Customer’s representations or warranties.
Any negligence or willful misconduct by Customer or any party acting on behalf of Customer.
Customer Content or the use of Outputs in financial, investor, or government submissions.
Third-party reliance on Data Outputs shared by Customer.
Procedures. The indemnifying party’s obligations are conditioned upon the indemnified party: (a) giving prompt written notice of the Claim; (b) granting the indemnifying party the option to take sole control of the defense and settlement (subject to prior written approval for affirmative obligations); and (c) providing reasonable cooperation and assistance at the indemnifying party’s request and expense.
Limitation of Liability
Consequential Damages Waiver. EXCEPT FOR (A) BREACHES OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY), (B) INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF A PARTY, OR (C) EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, SAVINGS, INCENTIVES, REBATES, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO PRODUCTION DELAYS, COST OVERRUNS, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE OR OUTPUTS.
Liability Cap. EXCEPT FOR (A) BREACHES OF SECTION 9, (B) INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF A PARTY, OR (C) EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, EACH PARTY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY WILL NOT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO PARROT DURING THE 12-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD WITHIN WHICH THE DAMAGES OCCURRED.
Data Security and AI. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERMS TO THE CONTRARY, PARROT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DISCLOSURE OF, UNAUTHORIZED USE OF, AND/OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ANY CUSTOMER DATA OR OTHER DATA UNLESS SUCH ACCESS SOLELY AND DIRECTLY RESULTS FROM PARROT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
Failure of Essential Purpose. MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT EXPAND THIS LIMITATION. THIS SECTION 8 WILL BE GIVEN FULL EFFECT EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Confidentiality
Protection of Information. Each party agrees not to disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party, except in confidence to legal counsel, accountants, or in connection with a proposed merger or acquisition. Each party must protect the other party’s Confidential Information using at least reasonable care.
Irreparable Injury. Each party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information will result in irreparable injury for which money damages would be inadequate. Either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without the requirement to post bond or prove actual damage.
Sensitive Creative IP. Customer Data, including unreleased scripts, storylines, and production strategy, constitutes Customer’s Confidential Information. Data Outputs, scoring methodologies, weighting logic, and Parrot Data constitute Parrot’s Confidential Information.
Survival. Confidentiality obligations survive for three years after termination, except for trade secrets and highly confidential scripts or proprietary methodologies, which remain protected for so long as they remain confidential under law.
Algorithmic Logic and Systemic Biases
Nature of Underlying Models. The Service utilizes non-deterministic, third-party Large Language Models (LLMs) and proprietary data enrichment pipelines to synthesize production-intelligence data. Customer acknowledges that these models operate on probabilistic patterns rather than absolute factual certainty. Consequently, Outputs are inherently subjective, and the Service’s generative capabilities may produce differing recommendations based on the same Input at different times.
Weighted Evaluative Framework. The underlying models are configured to prioritize specific fiscal and operational metrics defined by Parrot as industry benchmarks. This evaluative framework incorporates a liquidity-bias logic which prioritizes accelerated capital recovery (payout speed) and comprehensive incentive eligibility. Customer acknowledges that these foundational model weights may result in the relative down-weighting of specific production scenarios, such as labor-restricted incentive structures, regardless of their individual merit.
Interpretive Dependencies. The Service’s ability to generate accurate strategic insights is fundamentally dependent on the semantic depth and granular detail of the Customer Content. The underlying models may fail to account for physical, cultural, or logistical constraints that are not explicitly and descriptively articulated within the uploaded materials.
General Provisions
Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be construed and take effect as a contract made in New Zealand and will be governed by New Zealand law, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts. Parrot may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any jurisdiction where reasonably necessary to protect Parrot Confidential Information, Parrot Materials, Parrot Data, intellectual property, security, or access controls.
Dispute Resolution and Escalation. Before commencing court proceedings, either party must first give written notice of the dispute. The parties must then attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through senior representatives within 20 Business Days of that notice. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief.
Feedback. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Agreement, any suggestions, comments, or other feedback provided by Customer to Parrot with respect to Parrot or the Services (collectively, Feedback) will constitute Confidential Information of Parrot. Parrot will be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license, and otherwise distribute and exploit the Feedback provided to it as it sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind on account of Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise.
Data and Analytics. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Parrot may monitor, collect, use, and store anonymous and aggregate statistics regarding use of the Services and/or any individuals/entities that interact with the Services and any Customer Data (collectively, Parrot Analytics Data).
Ownership. As between the parties and subject to the grants expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data and any and all Intellectual Property Rights embodied in or related to the foregoing. Parrot, notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Agreement, owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and Parrot Analytic Data, together with any and all Intellectual Property Rights embodied in or related to the foregoing.
Publicity. Parrot will not publicly identify Customer, Customer’s productions, scripts, titles, or projects as users of Production Planner without Customer’s prior written consent, unless permitted in an Order Form or required by law. General statements about Parrot Analytics’ customer base do not imply that any listed organisation uses Production Planner unless expressly stated and authorised. Customer must not use Parrot’s name, logo, trademarks, or branding in press releases, marketing, investor materials, government submissions, pitch decks, or public communications in a way that suggests endorsement, certification, approval, or partnership without Parrot’s prior written consent.
Force Majeure. Except for payments due under this Agreement, neither party will be responsible for any failure to perform or delay attributable in whole or in part to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, civil disturbances, disruption of telecommunications, cyberattacks, or any malicious or unlawful acts of any third party (a Force Majeure Event).
Electronic Communications. Parrot may choose to electronically deliver all communications with Customer, including via email or in-product messaging. Customer agrees to do business electronically with Parrot and that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or duty under this Agreement may be transferred, assigned, or delegated by Customer without the prior written consent of Parrot. Parrot may assign this Agreement without Customer's prior written consent to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets.
Waiver and Severability. A party’s delay or failure to exercise a right or remedy will not result in a waiver of that right or remedy. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, which includes these Terms, the Schedules, and any applicable Order Form, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, statements, and understandings. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the documents, the following order of precedence shall apply: (a) the applicable Order Form; (b) any signed data processing or security addenda; (c) these Terms; and (d) the Schedules.
Schedule A: Product-Specific AI and Data Accuracy Terms
Script Analysis Limitations: The Service utilizes AI to infer production requirements such as locations, themes, and cultural context. Customer must verify all such inferences, as the Service may misinterpret creative intent or overlook physical constraints.
Budget and Financial Estimates: All cost projections, including crew, travel, and studio estimates, are indicative only. The Service is not a substitute for professional production accounting or line producing.
Incentives and Rebates: Calculations are modeled estimates and do not guarantee eligibility, approval, or payment of any government program. Customer must verify incentive data directly with relevant government agencies and tax advisers.
Scoring and Rankings: Country and risk scores are relative modeled outputs based on Parrot’s proprietary weighting and available data. They are not objective facts or safety certifications.
Risk Indicators: Indicators regarding political or operational risk do not constitute security, travel, or insurance advice.
Third-Party Data: Parrot does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of data regarding studios, facilities, or crew benchmarks provided by third-party sources.
Seasonal and Weather Data: Outputs regarding climate or timing are indicative and may not reflect real-time volatility or local microclimates.
