A: Film and video rights are generally specific to various mediums. A studio may acquire the rights to the theatrical release of a film but not the television rights. This leaves the door open for the producer to sell the TV rights in the future. Likewise, the right to distribute films on the Internet is separate from other rights and can be given at the will of the producer as long as those rights were not sold exclusively to someone else.
Q: What Is A "Nonexclusive" Agreement? How Can It Affect Me?
A: When you submit your movies to HotMovies.com, we accept them as part of a nonexclusive agreement.

Please be sure that you have the Internet rights to your films before you submit them to anyone as your content.
Some Pay-Per-Minute programs require Producers to sign an exclusive agreement. If you make an agreement like this, it means you cannot market your content to other Internet distribution services.

This means that if another Internet distribution agent or website would ALSO like to offer your content, your agreement with us will NOT prevent it. If you choose to make an exclusive agreement for your content with another agent, you can end your agreement with HotMovies.com at any time with 30 days' written notice. We will always comply with your wishes.
