Unsolicited Submissions Policy
Effective Date: February 11, 2026
Perfect Strangers (“Perfect Strangers,” “we,” “us”) is a film, television, and podcast production company. To avoid misunderstandings, disputes, and claims, we do not accept or review unsolicited submissions of creative ideas or materials.
Summary (not a substitute for the policy): Please do not send us scripts, treatments, formats, concepts, loglines, artwork, podcast ideas, or other creative content. If you send something anyway, it is not confidential, we have no obligation to review or respond, we may already be working on similar or identical ideas, and you waive any claims based on our use of similar content.
1) Scope
This policy applies to any idea, suggestion, proposal, pitch, storyline, character, format, design, artwork, photograph, composition, recording, audiovisual work, treatment, outline, script, logline, tag line, title, podcast concept, or any other creative material (collectively, a “Submission”), sent to Perfect Strangers by any means, including (without limitation):
- our website (including contact forms),
- email to any Perfect Strangers address,
- direct messages or posts on social media platforms,
- physical mail or courier delivery to any Perfect Strangers location, and
- delivery through third parties not expressly authorized by Perfect Strangers in writing.
This policy does not apply to (i) non-creative, general Feedback about the website; or (ii) creative materials we specifically request under a separate written agreement (e.g., a commissioned engagement or a formally announced call-for-submissions with its own terms). Any such agreement will govern instead of this policy.
2) No acceptance; no review; no return
We may update the Site and these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” above and may provide additional notice as appropriate. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
- No acceptance. Perfect Strangers does not accept unsolicited Submissions.
- No review or response. If you send one anyway, we may not read or review it and we have no obligation to acknowledge, evaluate, or respond.
- No return. We are not obligated to return or preserve any material (physical or electronic) and are not responsible for loss, deletion, or destruction of any Submission.
3) No confidential relationship; no implied promises
Sending a Submission to Perfect Strangers does not create a confidential, fiduciary, agency, employment, or professional relationship; there is no implied-in-fact or implied-in-law contract between you and Perfect Strangers in connection with any Submission. Do not mark or treat any Submission as confidential; we have no duty to keep it confidential.
4) Similar ideas; independent development; waiver and release
You acknowledge that Perfect Strangers and its collaborators may currently or in the future develop, receive, or consider creative content, pitches, concepts, formats, characters, storylines, or other materials that are similar or identical to your Submission.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive and release any claim against Perfect Strangers and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensees, successors, and assigns, arising from or related to:
- alleged use or disclosure of your Submission;
- alleged similarity between your Submission and any content, project, production, format, or idea used, developed, acquired, commissioned, or exploited by Perfect Strangers; and
- alleged obligations to compensate, credit, or account to you in connection with any Perfect Strangers content or project.
5) If you send a Submission anyway — license grant
Without limiting Sections 2–4 above, if you nevertheless submit any creative material to Perfect Strangers without our express written consent, you hereby grant Perfect Strangers a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display the Submission (in whole or in part) in any media now known or later developed, without compensation, notice, or obligation to you. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.
6) Minors
Submissions must not be made by individuals under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, do not send any Submissions. Parents/guardians who believe a minor has submitted materials should contact info@perfectstrangersmedia.com.
7) How to contact us (do not send creative materials)
For general inquiries not involving creative materials, contact info@perfectstrangersmedia.com. Do not send creative materials to this or any other Perfect Strangers address.
8) Relationship to Terms of Use; changes
This policy supplements and is incorporated by reference into the Site’s Terms of Use. Dispute resolution, governing law, and venue are as stated in the Terms of Use. We may update this policy from time to time; the Effective Date above will reflect the latest version.
