Plays contain a suggested “Setting”. These potential locations are simply optional suggestions of where to act out a play. The Company is not responsible if you act out a play at an unauthorized location, trespass at a location, get hurt while being in a play or if any other issue arises while performing a play. The Company requires that you use good judgment, such as not reading while you are moving (walking, driving, etc.), not placing yourself or another participant in an unsafe place and not offending others around you when sharing your content. By using the site and acting out a play, you indemnify and hold harmless the Company should any negative impact or damage occur before, during or after a play. The company is also not responsible for emotional harm occurring before, during or after a play for any participant, for any reason. If your date, for example, doesn’t go well and you feel it is due to a play or due to any other reason, the Company is in no way responsible so be sure to use your best judgment. You participate at your own risk.
You are authorized, after purchasing a playbook, you can share plays privately with another person. The access is provided to the person for 30 days with the link he or she will receive. The play remains the property of the Company. During that time any user will have the right to read and use the play. You may not post a link to a play in any location that may be seen by anyone besides the individual who will act out the play with you, and you are to require that they too protect the link and content they are accessing. To keep your own access to your play, you must download it after purchase.

Submitting a play:
Users or participants may be motivated to share a play of their own for potential incorporation by the Company (the Purchaser) into a future product. Note that the play, content and ideas you create for this must be wholly yours (nothing taken from another source) and that you own the content before submitting. If you have used content owned by someone else, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the purchaser (the Company) so only submit your own content. Any work submitted will no longer be owned by you, as you assign ownership to the purchaser when you share the work. The intention will be for the purchaser to sell the play and you retain no rights or compensation beyond an initial payment if you are offered a payment. Your work can be edited or used in whole or in part. Your name as “author” may or may not stay associated with the play – If it remains associated, you may provide the author name you would wish to be attached to the work at the time of submission. You agree to these terms without restriction. If some portion of these terms is not applicable or is not enforced, it does not negate the remaining terms. Applying to be selected and participating in the process indicates agreement to these terms. Compensation for a submission is at the sole discretion of the Company. Compensation is given for only a few select plays and the compensation value is very small, so submit at your own risk.
What types of stories are we looking for? We are looking for dialogue of a short two-person play – a lighthearted interaction of two people connecting for the very first time. The play should be four pages long and is designed to be read by two people playing the roles of two strangers. The play should have closure but inspire people to continue discussing one or more themes.
The play should start with a short description (to illustrate the location, set the scene and describe the characters). Brief direction may be used as necessary if any actions are needed but the majority of the play is to be dialogue. – The play should generally be light-hearted and positive, not containing any serious crime, foul language, evil, hatred, violence or a life-threatening illness. The content should contain some flirtation but this should not cross the line abuse or perversion. Generally the content should be family friendly (though intended for adults). – The dialogue may include differences of opinion or different interpretations of a social norm, or be an experience of an event that can be shared. Most importantly, the content should be engaging from the start so that the readers want to see where the play goes. plays2play.com will try to respond to each play submission but depending upon volume, may not. Even if your play is great, it may not be used and we apologize for that. If you are selected, we will contact you.
If any one part of this policy or our terms is not valid, it does not invalidate any other part of this policy.
