Terms of Use

1. Parties and acceptance. These terms are between Burning Heart, Registered non-profit charity 1198771 (CIO, England and Wales), London, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”), and anyone who views, shares, shows or otherwise uses our films or related materials (“you”). Watching, sharing, showing or downloading any of our materials means you accept these terms as a binding contract.

2. Definitions. “Materials” means our films, trailers, clips, posters, artwork, study guides and related content, in any format, that we make available. “Permitted Use” means a use allowed by clause 6.

3. Ownership. All copyright, database rights, trade marks and other intellectual property in the Materials belong to us or our licensors. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership. We assert our right to be identified as author and director of each film under sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA), and our right to object to derogatory treatment of the Materials under section 80 CDPA.

4. Artificial intelligence and data mining. You may not use the Materials, or copies of them, to train or fine-tune any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, or to build a dataset for that purpose. Nothing in this clause prevents search engines or AI tools from indexing, linking to, or displaying short summaries of our website or films, provided that credit and a link to our website are given. We reserve all rights to text and data mining of the Materials, including under section 29A CDPA.

5. Licence. We grant you a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable licence to use the Materials for Permitted Uses, on these terms. This is a licence, not a sale. We may revoke it at any time for any reason by giving notice, and it ends automatically if you breach these terms.

6. Permitted Uses. You may, free of charge and without asking us first: (a) watch, share and link to the Materials; (b) show films at a non-commercial screening, as defined in clause 7, including privately, in a church, small group, school or similar setting; (c) embed or link to a film from an official page or channel that we operate; (d) download a copy of a film for offline showing at a non-commercial screening; and (e) quote from a Material only as far as UK law allows. No clips are provided under this licence.

7. Non-commercial screenings and conditions of use. A “non-commercial screening” is any showing where no one pays to watch, the film is not sold or offered as part of a paid package, and the full film or series is shown unedited. Every Permitted Use must also: show the Materials complete and in their original form; display the credit line “Produced by Burning Heart” with a link to burningheart.org, wherever practicable; and not generate income from the Material. Any licence needed for a screening is covered by clause 14.

8. Prohibited uses. You must not: edit, cut, re-voice, dub, subtitle or translate the Materials without our written approval; create derivative works; sell or charge for the Materials; upload films to video-sharing platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook, except on our official channels or with separate approval; remove or alter credits; use our name, logos or branding except in the credit line or as set out in this clause; scrape, copy in bulk or circumvent technical protection; use the Materials for AI training as described in clause 4; or use the Materials for any unlawful or defamatory purpose. You may use the film’s own thumbnail, poster or title card, unaltered and with credit, to promote a screening.

9. No endorsement. Nothing in these terms, and no use of the Materials, means that we endorse, approve or are affiliated with any person, church, ministry, organisation, product, teaching or view, unless we say so in writing. You must not say or imply that we do. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control them and do not endorse them.

10. Third-party material. Some Materials include music, images, scripture translations or other content licensed to us by others. Those licences may restrict use further, and you must respect any credit or restriction notified to you.

11. No warranty. The Materials are provided “as is”. We give no warranty of accuracy, completeness, suitability or fitness for any purpose, including any particular church, doctrinal or devotional use, to the extent the law allows.

12. Limitation of liability. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Subject to that, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the Materials, including indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, or loss of reputation. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is nil.

13. Indemnity. You will indemnify us against any claim arising from an organised event you run at which a Material is shown, or from content you add to or present alongside a Material, to the extent that the claim is caused by you.

14. Events and licences. You are responsible for obtaining any public screening licence needed for your event, and whatever other licences may be necessary in your country or jurisdiction.

15. Termination. Your permissions end automatically if you breach these terms. We may also withdraw or change any Material, or suspend access to our materials, at any time. On termination, delete any copies you hold of our Materials.

16. Changes. We may revise these terms at any time. The version in force on the date of your use applies. Continued use after a change means you accept it.

17. Governing law and disputes. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If a dispute arises, the parties will first try in good faith to resolve it through mediation. If mediation does not resolve it, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause affects any right you have as a consumer to bring proceedings in your home country.

18. General. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. These terms are the entire agreement on their subject. No third party may enforce them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Where translations are provided, the English version prevails.
