Terms of Contributing

Emily Is a Magnet for Miracles
Effective date: August 1, 2026

These Terms apply to contributions supporting the independently produced first season of the short-form episodic social-media series currently titled Emily Is a Magnet for Miracles. The person or legal entity accepting the contribution is Emily Wagner, referred to as "Producer." The person or entity making the contribution is referred to as "Contributor." Questions about these Terms or a contribution may be sent to emily@groomed-la.com.

1. Project

"Project" means the independently produced first season of the short-form episodic social-media series currently titled Emily Is a Magnet for Miracles, consisting of 15 episodes produced principally during 2026-2027 for initial release on Instagram and any incidental exhibition or promotion of those same completed episodes.

The Project does not include any later season or any television, streaming, theatrical, feature-film, short-film, podcast, stage, publishing, remake, sequel, prequel, spinoff, adaptation, expanded series, merchandising, licensing, or other version or derivative work, even if it uses the same title, concept, format, characters, screenplay, footage, or underlying material.

2. Contribution and selected reward

Contributor agrees to provide the amount shown in the applicable payment record or signature page (the "Contribution"). If the selected tier identifies a reward, Producer will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide only that reward, subject to these Terms. A tier expressly described as offering no reward is support for the Project only and creates no fulfillment obligation beyond these Terms.

The Contribution is reward-based support for production of the Project. It is not an equity investment, security, loan, charitable donation, purchase of intellectual property, purchase of a business interest, or promise of repayment or financial return.

3. No ownership or intellectual-property rights

Producer and Producer's licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Project and all related or underlying intellectual property, including the title, concept, format, characters, story, scripts, performances, recordings, footage, artwork, music, trademarks, copyrights, publicity rights, goodwill, and all development, production, distribution, advertising, licensing, merchandising, and derivative rights.

Contributor receives no ownership, authorship, copyright, trademark, license, lien, security interest, or other proprietary interest in the Project or any related property. No provision of these Terms is an assignment or transfer of intellectual property.

4. No financial participation

Contributor has no right to repayment, interest, revenue, proceeds, profits, net profits, gross receipts, royalties, residuals, backend, sale proceeds, option payments, license fees, accounting, audit, or other financial participation arising from the Project or any related property.

5. Honorary producer credits

If Contributor's selected reward includes an Associate Producer, Producer, Executive Producer, or similar credit, that credit is honorary contractual recognition of independent production support. It does not constitute employment or engagement as a producer and does not create producing authority, fiduciary duties, agency, partnership, joint venture, management rights, consultation rights, approval rights, creative control, or decision-making authority.

Producer may require Contributor to sign the Honorary Producer Credit Addendum before the credit is provided. The credit applies only to the defined Project and only in the placement stated in the selected tier or addendum.

6. No creative or business control

Contributor has no right to direct, cast, write, rewrite, edit, approve, consult on, supervise, distribute, market, advertise, exhibit, license, sell, finance, or otherwise control the Project. Contributor may not bind Producer, incur obligations on Producer's behalf, speak for Producer, or represent that Contributor is Producer's employee, partner, agent, manager, or authorized representative.

7. Future productions and transactions

Producer may develop, produce, sell, option, assign, license, adapt, expand, remake, retitle, reformat, distribute, or otherwise exploit the Project or any underlying or related material in any medium, territory, or format, now known or later developed.

Contributor will have no credit, compensation, ownership, approval, consultation, participation, or other rights in any future production or transaction unless Producer and Contributor later enter into a separate written agreement signed by both parties. Contributor waives any claim against any buyer, studio, network, platform, distributor, financier, licensee, successor, or assignee based on the Contribution, selected reward, or honorary credit.

8. Producer's control of production

Producer has sole discretion over all creative, production, business, financing, distribution, release, marketing, and exploitation decisions. Producer may change the title, episode count, running time, cast, crew, content, format, production schedule, release schedule, platform, or distribution plan. Producer may delay, suspend, shorten, relocate, reformat, or discontinue the Project.

9. Use of funds

Producer intends to use fundraising proceeds for development, preproduction, production, postproduction, insurance, legal and accounting expenses, compensation, equipment, locations, music, marketing, distribution, platform and payment fees, reward fulfillment, taxes, reserves, and other Project-related costs. Producer may reallocate funds among these categories in good faith as production needs change.

10. Rewards and substitutions

Rewards are subject to availability and the written restrictions stated for the selected tier. If a reward becomes unavailable, unlawful, unsafe, impracticable, or materially more burdensome because of circumstances beyond Producer's reasonable control, Producer may provide a reasonably comparable substitute or, where required by applicable law, another remedy.

Unless the tier expressly states otherwise, rewards have no cash value, may not be exchanged for cash, and may not be transferred without Producer's prior written consent.

11. Credits

Contributor must provide the requested credit name, spelling, and any required release by October 1, 2026. Producer may omit or modify a credit that is not timely supplied, violates platform rules, infringes rights, contains promotional content, is misleading, or is reasonably considered unlawful, hateful, harassing, obscene, or damaging to the Project.

Producer will use reasonable efforts to provide the promised credit but is not responsible for inadvertent omission or third-party alteration if Producer corrects the omission prospectively where reasonably practicable. No casual or inadvertent failure to provide a credit permits Contributor to stop or interfere with production, release, distribution, sale, licensing, or exploitation. [Attorney to confirm appropriate credit remedy under the final facts.]

No IMDb listing or acceptance is promised. If a tier includes IMDb-related language, Producer may promise only to submit or reasonably support submission of the credit, subject to IMDb's independent rules and decisions.

12. Experiential rewards

Any in-person, virtual, set-based, performance, consultation, fitness, or appearance reward is subject to the separately published reward description, scheduling availability, eligibility requirements, safety rules, production needs, venue rules, insurance requirements, applicable union or guild rules, and execution of all releases and waivers reasonably required by Producer.

Unless expressly included in writing, Contributor is responsible for travel, lodging, transportation, parking, meals, equipment, shipping, taxes, and incidental costs. Producer does not guarantee that footage, a background appearance, a walk-on appearance, a photograph, or other recorded material will appear in the completed Project.

13. Scheduling and expiration

Contributor must claim and schedule any experiential reward by [CLAIM DEADLINE], and the experience must occur by [FULFILLMENT DEADLINE], unless Producer agrees otherwise in writing. Contributor's failure to respond, provide required information, sign required documents, or reasonably cooperate by the stated deadline may result in forfeiture of the reward without refund, subject to applicable law.

14. Assumption of risk and releases

Before participating in an in-person, fitness, set, acting, event, or other experiential reward, Contributor may be required to sign an appropriate appearance release, location or confidentiality agreement, health acknowledgment, assumption-of-risk agreement, and liability waiver. The exact documents will depend on the reward. These Terms do not replace those documents.

15. Publicity and privacy

Producer may use Contributor's approved credit name solely to provide and publicize the selected reward and acknowledge Project support. Any broader use of Contributor's name, image, voice, likeness, biography, testimonial, or performance requires the applicable release or other written permission.

16. Confidentiality and conduct

Contributor may not disclose unreleased scripts, story information, footage, photographs, production information, access links, personal information, or other nonpublic material received through a reward. Producer may remove Contributor from an event, set visit, call, or other experience for unsafe, disruptive, harassing, unlawful, or materially inappropriate conduct. [Attorney to tailor remedies and refund consequences.]

17. Taxes

Contributor understands that the Contribution is not represented as tax-deductible. Each party is responsible for that party's own taxes and reporting obligations. Producer may collect information or issue tax documents if required by law.

18. Payment processing and platform terms

Payments may be processed by a third-party platform. Contributor remains subject to that platform's applicable terms, fees, payment rules, and privacy practices. If platform terms conflict with these Terms regarding the relationship between Producer and Contributor, the terms should be reviewed before launch and reconciled in the fundraising materials.

19. Refunds, cancellation, and failure to complete

A Contributor may not cancel or obtain a refund merely because the Contributor changes their mind, no longer wants the selected reward, or the Project or reward is delayed. Once accepted and committed to Project costs, Contributions are nonrefundable except as stated below or as required by law.

If Producer cancels the Project after accepting funds, Producer will refund affected Contributions. If Producer cannot provide a paid reward and cannot provide a reasonably comparable substitute accepted by Contributor, Producer will refund the affected Contribution or provide another remedy required by applicable law. A delay, modification, recasting, edit, platform change, title change, or other good-faith production change is not by itself a cancellation or failure to complete.

Approved refunds will be made to the original payment method when reasonably possible. Processing fees, chargeback fees, and other third-party fees will be handled as required by applicable law and the applicable payment processor's rules.

20. No guarantees

Contributor understands that entertainment production is uncertain. Producer does not guarantee completion, release, audience size, platform availability, critical or commercial success, distribution, sale, pickup, adaptation, or any particular future opportunity.

21. Representations

Contributor represents that Contributor is at least 18 years old, has authority to enter into these Terms, is using funds Contributor is authorized to use, and is not relying on any promise of ownership, repayment, financial return, employment, creative control, future credit, or future participation other than the express written reward.

22. Limitation on interference

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contributor's remedy for any proven breach will be limited to relief against Producer under these Terms. Contributor will not seek to enjoin, restrain, stop, delay, or otherwise interfere with the development, production, financing, advertising, distribution, exhibition, sale, licensing, or exploitation of the Project or related property. [Attorney to review enforceability and any required carve-outs.]

23. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Producer will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from these Terms. Producer's aggregate liability relating to the Contribution or reward will not exceed the amount of the Contribution, except to the extent a limitation is prohibited by law. [Attorney review required.]

24. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue and any mediation, arbitration, small-claims, or court procedure will be specified after attorney review. [Choose Los Angeles County courts, arbitration, or another approved process. Do not publish this section unfinished.]

25. General terms

These Terms, the selected tier description, the applicable payment record, and any signed addendum constitute the entire agreement concerning the Contribution and reward and supersede prior statements on those subjects. If they conflict, a signed addendum controls, followed by the selected tier description, these Terms, and the payment record, except that a separate signed sponsorship agreement controls all sponsorship matters. Any amendment or waiver must be in a writing signed by Producer and, where it changes Contributor's rights, Contributor. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the fullest extent permitted by law. Producer may assign these Terms in connection with the Project or related rights.

Contributor may not assign these Terms without Producer's prior written consent. Electronic acceptance and signatures are effective.

26. Payment authorization, acceptance, and fraud

Contributor authorizes the stated charge and represents that the payment information is accurate and that Contributor is authorized to use the selected payment method. A submission is not accepted until payment is successfully processed and Producer or the checkout system confirms acceptance. Producer may reject or cancel a contribution reasonably suspected to be fraudulent, unlawful, made in error, or inconsistent with these Terms. Declined payments, chargebacks, reversals, and payment disputes remain subject to applicable law and the payment processor's rules. Producer may suspend an unfulfilled reward while a related payment dispute is pending.

27. Delivery estimates, communications, and contributor information

Any production, release, or reward date is a good-faith estimate rather than a guaranteed deadline unless a signed agreement expressly states otherwise. Producer will provide material schedule or fulfillment notices through the contact information supplied at checkout or by posting them on the Project website. Contributor is responsible for providing a working email address and timely supplying any name, address, selection, sizing, release, waiver, or other information reasonably needed to fulfill the selected reward. Failure to provide requested information by the stated deadline may result in forfeiture of the reward without refund, subject to applicable law.

28. Physical and digital rewards

Physical rewards are subject to the shipping territory, method, cost, and delivery terms stated in the applicable tier. Contributor is responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address by the stated deadline and, unless expressly included, for shipping, customs duties, import charges, and taxes. Producer is not responsible for delay, loss, damage, or nondelivery caused by an incorrect address, customs, a carrier, or circumstances outside Producer's reasonable control, but will provide any remedy required by law.

Digital screening links, scripts, downloads, and other digital rewards are for Contributor's personal, noncommercial use only. Contributor may not copy, record, reproduce, post, forward, share, sell, publicly perform, distribute, or otherwise exploit them. Access may be time-limited, password-protected, geographically restricted, or subject to third-party platform availability.

29. Consultations, fitness sessions, and product rewards

Acting, script, creative, brand, and aesthetic consultations are educational and reflect the provider's personal and professional judgment. They do not guarantee employment, representation, financing, production, publication, sales, audience growth, business results, casting, medical results, or any other outcome. Aesthetic consultations are not medical care and do not diagnose or treat any condition.

Fitness sessions are not medical treatment. Contributor is responsible for determining, with a qualified healthcare professional when appropriate, whether participation is suitable and for disclosing relevant limitations before the session. Participation may require a separate health acknowledgment, assumption-of-risk agreement, and liability waiver.

Food, gummy, supplement, beauty, or wellness rewards are subject to availability, manufacturer labeling, expiration, age and geographic restrictions, and applicable law. Contributor is responsible for reviewing ingredients, allergens, directions, warnings, and suitability before use. No statement in a reward description is medical advice or a promise to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Producer may substitute a reward rather than make a shipment that would be unlawful or commercially impracticable.

30. Third-party providers and premium rewards

A reward provided in whole or in part by a cast member, crew member, consultant, artist, venue, brand, manufacturer, payment processor, delivery service, or other third party is subject to that provider's availability and reasonable rules. Producer will make commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate the promised reward but does not control third-party platforms, carriers, venue operations, or independent provider decisions. Premium consultations, artwork, DJ services, production participation, honorary credits, and brand sponsorships may require a separate signed agreement, release, waiver, or scope of work before fulfillment.

31. Force majeure

Producer is not responsible for delay or nonperformance caused by events beyond Producer's reasonable control, including illness, injury, death, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, labor interruption, government action, civil disorder, war, terrorism, utility or internet failure, platform outage or policy change, transportation disruption, location loss, equipment failure, or the unavailability of essential cast, crew, materials, or services. Producer may reschedule, modify, relocate, substitute, or cancel affected production activity or rewards and will provide any refund or other remedy required by Section 19 or applicable law.

32. Privacy and data

Producer may collect and use contact, payment-confirmation, reward-selection, credit-name, delivery, release, and fulfillment information as reasonably necessary to administer contributions, provide rewards, maintain legal and accounting records, prevent fraud, and communicate about the Project. Payment-card information is handled by the applicable payment processor and should not be sent directly to Producer. Producer will handle personal information in accordance with the privacy notice posted at [PRIVACY POLICY LINK] and applicable law. Contributor should review the privacy practices of the checkout, email, screening, and other third-party services used to provide a reward.

33. Sponsorships and paid partnership disclosures

Brand sponsorships require a separate written agreement. Sponsor benefits, category exclusivity, logo use, content integration, reposting, usage rights, reporting, approval rights, and cancellation terms exist only as expressly stated in that agreement. Producer retains ownership and creative control except for any limited brand-accuracy or trademark approval expressly granted in writing. All sponsored content and endorsements will use disclosures required by applicable advertising law and platform rules. No sponsorship right continues into a later season, adaptation, sale, pickup, license, or other future production unless a separate signed agreement expressly says so.

34. Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or waives a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or waived. If a mandatory consumer-protection rule conflicts with these Terms, that rule controls only to the extent of the conflict.

Attorney review required before publication

This remains a working legal draft. Before publication, California entertainment counsel should finalize the Producer identity, Project scope, production and fulfillment dates, refund remedy, credit remedy, liability limitations, releases and waivers, governing law, venue or arbitration language, privacy notice, and any union or guild issues connected with walk-on or background participation. Counsel should also confirm the separate agreements for honorary credits, sponsorships, fitness sessions, DJ services, artwork, and all set-based experiences.

35. Acceptance

Contributor accepts these Terms by checking the agreement box at checkout, electronically signing them, or completing the contribution, as applicable. Producer should retain the Terms version, date, amount, selected tier, contributor identity, credit name, payment confirmation, and fulfillment record.
