Plotline is an AI-assisted production intelligence service that provides film, television, commercial, and digital media producers with:
The Service is currently in pilot stage. Features, availability, and pricing are subject to change.
During the pilot period, the Service is provided at no charge to enrolled participants. Participation in the pilot program is by invitation only and subject to availability. We reserve the right to limit, modify, or discontinue the pilot program at any time with reasonable notice to active participants.
Pilot participants agree to:
Pilot participation does not create any obligation to purchase the Service when it becomes commercially available, nor does it create any obligation on our part to provide the Service beyond the agreed pilot period.
By enrolling in the Plotline pilot program and providing your phone number, you expressly consent to receive SMS messages from Plotline at +1 (310) 439-9567. These messages include production briefs, alerts, and responses to messages you initiate.
Opting out of SMS will disable all automated Service communications. You may re-enroll at any time by contacting us directly.
You retain full ownership of all production data, documents, and information you share with Plotline ("Your Content"). By sharing Your Content with us, you grant Malmont Industry a limited, non-exclusive license to process and analyze Your Content solely for the purpose of delivering the Service to you.
We do not claim ownership of Your Content. We do not use Your Content to train AI models. We do not share Your Content with third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy and as necessary to deliver the Service.
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any content you provide to us, including production documents that may be subject to third-party confidentiality agreements.
Plotline uses AI systems and third-party data sources to generate production intelligence. While we design the Service to be as accurate and useful as possible, we make no warranty that any analysis, cost calculation, schedule recommendation, weather forecast, or other output is accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific situation.
All production decisions remain your responsibility. Plotline is a decision-support tool, not a substitute for professional judgment. Nothing in the Service constitutes legal, financial, or labor relations advice.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the three months preceding the claim. During the pilot period when the Service is provided at no charge, our total liability shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the extent permitted by law.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content generated by the Service.
We expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Both parties acknowledge that in the course of the pilot program, each may receive confidential information belonging to the other. Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the other party's confidential information and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law.
Our specific obligations regarding your production data are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Either party may terminate participation in the pilot program at any time with reasonable notice. Upon termination:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration related to the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and notify active pilot participants by email or SMS at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
