Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 July 2026 · Applies to scre.me, www.scre.me, thingwicked.com and its subdomains

1. Who you are contracting with

The scre.me platform and website are operated by Something Wicked, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation incorporated in May 2012 — "Something Wicked," "we," "us." scre.me and the scre.me logo are trademarks of Something Wicked, Inc. Corporate identity can be verified at thingwicked.com. By using this site or engaging our services you agree to these Terms.

2. What the site is — and order of precedence

This website is informational: it describes the scre.me platform and lets prospective partners request a briefing. Actual engagements — IP property development, licensing, deployment, and related services — are governed by a separate signed agreement (statement of work, license, or services agreement). If terms conflict, the order of precedence is: (1) the signed agreement, (2) the terms stated on the applicable invoice or order form, (3) these Terms.

3. Using the site

• You may browse the site and submit genuine business inquiries.
• You may not probe, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to the site or its infrastructure; scrape it at volume; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; or submit unlawful content through our forms.
• All site content — text, the scre.me mark and the scre.me logo (trademarks of Something Wicked, Inc.), "only those you want will hear," design, and the IP properties showcased — belongs to Something Wicked, Inc. or its licensors. No license is granted by making the site available. Do not use our marks without prior written permission.

4. Briefing requests and unsolicited ideas

Submitting a briefing request creates no engagement, exclusivity, or confidentiality obligation on either side — those arise only under a signed agreement. Please do not send unsolicited creative ideas or properties; if you do, you agree we owe no compensation or obligation for material we did not request, and independent development of similar material is not a breach of any duty to you.

5. Purchases, fees, and payment

• Fees, deliverables, and schedules are set in the applicable signed agreement, order form, or invoice.
• Invoices are issued electronically and processed through our payment providers (currently Stripe and Zoho Invoice). Unless the invoice states otherwise, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date, in the currency stated on the invoice.
• Stated fees exclude sales tax, VAT, GST, and similar charges, which are added where we are required to collect them. Late amounts may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, plus reasonable collection costs.

6. Cancellations, returns, and refunds

Business engagements

Cancellation and refund rights for a contracted engagement are set out in that engagement's signed agreement. Unless it says otherwise: work performed and costs irrevocably committed up to the cancellation date are payable; prepaid, unstarted phases are refunded within 30 days of the effective cancellation date.

Consumers — statutory rights

Our services are directed to businesses. If, however, you deal with us as a consumer, nothing in these Terms limits rights the law gives you that cannot be waived, and the following applies where the relevant law covers the transaction:

• EU / EEA (Directive 2011/83/EU) and UK (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013): a 14-day withdrawal right for distance contracts, starting on the day the contract is concluded (services) or the goods are received. The right lapses for services fully performed — or digital content supplied — with your prior express consent and acknowledgment that the right is lost; partial performance is charged proportionally. Refunds are made within 14 days of withdrawal, by the original payment method.
• United States: statutory cancellation and refund rights vary by state (e.g., cooling-off rules for specific sale types); where such a right applies to your purchase, we honor it as written.
• Elsewhere: mandatory local consumer protections apply as enacted in your place of residence.

To cancel or request a refund, email legal@scre.me with the invoice number. We acknowledge within 5 business days and decide within 14 days; approved refunds are returned by the original payment method within 14 days of the decision.

7. Disclaimers

The site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law permits, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement for the website itself; warranties applicable to contracted services are stated in the relevant signed agreement. Nothing here excludes warranties or guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded, including statutory consumer guarantees.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost data, arising from use of the website; and (b) our total liability arising out of the website is limited to US $500 or, if the claim arises from a paid engagement, the amount stated in that engagement's agreement. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct — and does not limit a consumer's non-waivable statutory remedies.

9. Escalation and dispute resolution

1. Raise it in writing to legal@scre.me (or the postal address on the legal correspondence page), describing the issue and the outcome you seek. We acknowledge within 5 business days.
2. Substantive response from us within 15 business days of acknowledgment; billing disputes are answered with an itemized position.
3. Executive escalation: unresolved matters go to a principal of Something Wicked, Inc. and a counterpart on your side, who negotiate in good faith for 30 days.
4. Arbitration (Section 10) only after the steps above (except where urgent injunctive relief is needed to protect IP or confidential information).

EU consumers may also use the platforms for alternative dispute resolution available in their member state; nothing in this section prevents a consumer from bringing proceedings in their home courts where the law grants that right.

10. Governing law, arbitration, and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA confirm with counsel — Delaware is the state of incorporation; the principal-place-of-business state is the common alternative, excluding its conflicts rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Binding arbitration

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the website, or an engagement with us that is not resolved under Section 9 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, seated in the City and County of San Francisco, California, USA, conducted in English, and administered by JAMS under its applicable arbitration rules confirm administrator and rules with counsel — JAMS and AAA are the common choices. The arbitrator's award is final and binding, and judgment on it may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each side bears its own attorneys' fees unless the applicable rules or law provide otherwise; filing and arbitrator fees are allocated per the administrator's rules.

Carve-outs

• Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where it qualifies.
• Either party may seek urgent injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information; for that limited purpose the exclusive venue is the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and both parties consent to their jurisdiction.
• If you deal with us as a consumer, this Section applies only to the extent your local law allows pre-dispute arbitration agreements; you retain any mandatory right to bring, and to defend, proceedings in the courts of your country or state of residence, and EU/UK consumers are not bound to arbitrate.

Disputes must be brought individually; neither party may participate in a class, collective, or representative arbitration class-waiver enforceability varies — confirm with counsel. If this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable for a given dispute, that dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and both parties consent to their jurisdiction — except that consumers retain any mandatory right to sue, and be sued, in their country or state of residence.

11. General

If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in a corporate reorganization or sale. Formal notices must follow the notice procedure. We may update these Terms prospectively; the version posted at the time of your use or purchase applies, and material changes will be flagged on this page for 30 days.
