How Our Service Works InterMission is an online movie rental service that provides members with access to a library of DVDs on a variety of sustainability topics such as energy conservation, environmental stewardship, peak oil, sustainable agricultural, building and industrial practices, etc. Members select and rent the movies they wish to view, receive them on DVD by U.S. mail and return them using prepaid mailers. The rental period for all DVDS is 30 days and DVDs are due back to InterMission within 30 days of the date they ship from our warehouse. Members will be charged the sale price of the DVD minus rental fees for all DVDs that are not returned within the 30-day rental period. Each DVD also comes with a hosting kit and participant discussion guide that can serve as guidelines for members who want to host their own house parties and initiate local conversations and action plans around sustainability topics. These guides are yours to keep for both DVD sales and rentals. Email invitation services may be used solely for the purposes of inviting community members to InterMission DVD movie screening house parties. You agree not to harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information from InterMission or the Site by electronic or other means for the purposes of sending unsolicited emails or other unsolicited communications. Federal Copyright Restrictions & General Film Usage If you plan a screening event outside your home, please be aware that you will be required to obtain a public performance license. Please read each movies screening terms & conditions carefully before planning a public event outside your home. In many cases, InterMission has negotiated a free license for screenings of under 60 people for our members. Otherwise, public performance licenses can be purchased directly from Inter Mission on a case-by-case basis. Federal law states that to perform or display a work “publicly” means — to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered. Owning the video or DVD does not by itself entitle you to screen it publicly – the license terms on an ordinary commercial video or DVD usually say it is for “private home use only”. Whether or not you charge a fee does not change whether it is a public performance or not. Screening a film in a home study group as a group of friends would watch a video in a private home is unlikely to be a ‘public performance’ for copyright purposes. Restaurants, prisons, summer camps, public libraries, day-care facilities, parks and recreation departments, churches, and non-classroom use at schools and universities are all examples of screenings where a public performance license must be obtained. This legal requirement applies regardless of whether an admission fee is charged, whether the institution or organization is commercial or non-profit, or whether a federal or state agency is involved. Businesses, institutions, organizations, companies or individuals wishing to engage in non-home showings of home videocassettes or DVDs must secure licenses to do so - regardless of whether an admission or other fee is charged (Section 501). This legal requirement applies equally to profit-making organizations and non-profit institutions (Senate Report No. 94-473, page 59; House Report No. 94-1476, page 62). You agree not to hold InterMission responsible or liable in any manner for any infringement of Federal Copyright Laws governing General Film Usage for movie screenings organized by you through the Site or independently of InterMission services.
