ProPlay: Letter of Agreement 

This will serve as a letter of agreement between  
______________________________________________ (The Playwright) 
and ProPlay.  The Playwright grants ProPlay the non-exclusive 
right to post the text of plays submitted to either of the 
addresses below. The Playwright may submit all or a portion
of a script. (To make ProPlay as effective a site for potential
producers as possible, we encourage playwrights to post at
least the first act of full-length plays, or, in the case of
one-acts, at least one-half of the script.)

ProPlay will make no alterations to the text, and, where
possible, the Playwright's original format will be retained.
The Playwright may choose to have the play posted in a printable
format, or in a format which prevents copying and printing.
ProPlay will credit the author and provide full copyright
and contact information, as well as synopses of material
and biographical information based on existing promotional
or press copy. 

The Playwright warrants, and will provide documentation to 
confirm, that any plays submitted have received a full 
professional production. Full professional production will be 
the chief criteria for posting by ProPlay, although, in certain 
circumstances, plays which have received showcase or non-Equity 
productions will also qualify. (Please forward information.)
ProPlay also reserves the right to refuse to post any script, at
its sole discretion. 

The Playwright warrants that he or she is the sole owner of the 
copyright to any plays submitted, and is free to and has full 
authority to enter into this Agreement. In the event that any 
claim or action for infringement of copyright is brought against 
ProPlay in connection with the rights granted in this Agreement, 
the Playwright undertakes to indemnify ProPlay and hold it 
harmless against such claim or action. 

The Playwright will continue to retain full copyright, and 
ProPlay will have no participation rights in royalties from 
future productions or publication. Negotiation of production
rights will remain the responsibility of the Playwright or
his or her agent. The Playwright may choose to participate in
the "Tip the Playwright" program, which allows visitors to
direct a payment in any amount over $1.00 to the Playwright.
ProPlay will keep 20% of any such payments, and remit 80%,
along with an accounting of payments received, to the Playwright
on an annual basis.  

The Playwright will provide, in electronic form, the full
text of any plays submitted, as well as, in either printed
or electronic form, promotional and press materials which
document the play's professional production and can be used
by ProPlay to provide synopses and biographical information,
and otherwise promote the play. Where possible, the Playwright
will also provide a personal photo and production photos. 

Where a print edition of a play already exists, and where it
does not contravene the Playwright's agreement with the publisher,
ProPlay will undertake to provide a link for the convenience of
visitors who prefer to buy the print edition. 

ProPlay reserves the right to carry advertising on the ProPlay 
website, but no advertising will be carried on the same page as 
the text of a play. ProPlay may also link to printed editions of 
plays via such programs as Amazon.com Associates, which will 
allow ProPlay to receive a small percentage of the sale price of 
the printed edition. (This has no impact on either the 
Playwright's or publisher's revenues from such sales.) 

It is understood that this Agreement is terminable on thirty
(30) days notice on either side. 

Please print out and sign two copies of this Agreement, and mail, 
along with the documentation required, to:
