When you send us a script for a bid, you trust us with unreleased work. This page says what we do with it, and what we never do.
This policy applies to every script, treatment, breakdown, budget, schedule, storyboard, image or other project material you send to Alps Studios to ask for a bid, through the form on this site or by email. We call it the material.
“Alps Studios” means Alps Studios S.r.l., Corso Giacomo Matteotti 29, 10121 Torino, Italy, and its group companies in Australia and the United Kingdom.
The material is stored on access-controlled systems. Alps Studios holds a TPN+ Gold Shield assessment from the Trusted Partner Network, the content security programme used by the major studios, and handles bid material under the same rules as work in production.
The material stays yours. Sending it gives Alps Studios no right, licence or option over the project, beyond reading it to prepare the bid.
You can ask us to delete the material at any time by writing to filippo.robino@alps-studios.com. If the project does not go ahead with us, we delete it within 12 months of sending you the bid.
These obligations do not apply to information that is already public, that we already held lawfully before you sent it, or that we receive lawfully from someone else with no duty of confidentiality. If a law or a court orders us to disclose something, we tell you first, where we are allowed to.
By ticking the box on the bid form you confirm that you have the right to share the material with us and that you accept this policy.
The bid we send you, including prices, breakdowns and methodology, is confidential too. It is for evaluating your project and is not to be passed to other vendors.
Our obligations start when we receive the material and last for five years, or until the material becomes public through no fault of ours, whichever comes first.
If your company needs its own non-disclosure agreement, send it to filippo.robino@alps-studios.com before sharing the script. We are happy to sign it first.
This policy is governed by Italian law. The courts of Turin, Italy, have jurisdiction over any dispute about it.
