By accessing or using our website, you are expected to comply with applicable laws and the rules outlined in this policy.
02 — Permitted Use
Visitors are welcome to browse our website, explore our portfolio, learn about our services, and contact us regarding potential collaborations.
You may access publicly available information for legitimate personal or professional purposes, view films, photographs, and other creative content made available on our website, share links to publicly accessible pages, and contact ARE FILM regarding projects, services, or business enquiries.
Where digital products are offered, you may use products purchased from ARE FILM in accordance with their applicable licence agreements.
Access to our website does not grant ownership of or unrestricted rights to its content.
03 — Prohibited Activities
You may not use our website or related services for unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purposes.
Prohibited activities include attempting to gain unauthorised access to website systems or infrastructure, distributing malware or malicious code, interfering with website functionality or security, submitting fraudulent enquiries, using our contact channels to distribute spam, impersonating ARE FILM or its representatives, and engaging in activities that infringe the rights of others.
You must not deliberately provide misleading information in communications intended to deceive ARE FILM or third parties.
All use of our website must comply with applicable laws.
04 — Intellectual Property and Content Protection
Films, photographs, graphics, text, branding, and other creative materials published on our website may be protected by copyright, trademark rights, and other applicable intellectual property laws.
Unless expressly authorised or permitted by law, visitors may not download and redistribute protected films or photographs, reproduce website content for commercial purposes, sell or sublicense our creative work, remove copyright notices, or present our productions as their own.
Our name, branding, and creative materials may not be used in a manner that falsely suggests an official partnership, endorsement, or affiliation.
These restrictions do not prevent uses permitted by applicable law.
05 — Automated Access and Data Collection
Automated access to our website must not compromise its security, performance, or availability.
Without appropriate authorisation, users may not engage in excessive automated requests that interfere with website functionality, circumvent technical access restrictions, collect personal information for spam or unlawful purposes, or systematically reproduce protected content in violation of applicable intellectual property rights.
Ordinary search engine indexing and other lawful automated activities are not prohibited merely because they involve automated access.

Visitors may use our contact channels for genuine enquiries, professional communication, and collaboration requests.
Our contact channels must not be used to distribute spam, unsolicited mass advertising, malicious links, harmful attachments, fraudulent information, threats, harassment, or material that infringes third-party rights.
ARE FILM may decline to respond to communications that are abusive, fraudulent, or unrelated to legitimate business purposes.
07 — Digital Products and Downloads
ARE FILM may offer digital products in the future, including colour grading LUTs, presets, templates, and other downloadable creative assets.
Where such products are offered, their purchase and use are governed by the applicable Digital Product License Agreement and any additional product-specific terms.
Users may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or share licensed product files in violation of the relevant licence conditions.
This policy does not restrict lawful use of finished creative works produced using properly licensed digital products.
08 — External Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to external platforms, film-hosting services, social media platforms, and other third-party websites.
Visitors are responsible for complying with the applicable terms and policies of those services.
ARE FILM does not control independently operated external websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, or security practices to the extent permitted by applicable law.
09 — Security and Enforcement
ARE FILM may take reasonable measures to protect its website, content, and services against misuse.
Depending on the circumstances, these measures may include blocking abusive traffic, restricting access where technically possible, rejecting fraudulent or malicious submissions, requesting the removal of unlawfully reproduced content, reporting suspected unlawful activities to competent authorities, or pursuing available legal remedies.
Any measures will be taken in accordance with applicable law.
