Regarding the written work/screenplay that I submit, for the purpose of applying to the Competition, via the e-mail address or other communication channels specified by CAFERİDER in the competition rules;

  4. That, regardless of whether or not the work is placed in the Competition or is considered for evaluation for any reason, and effective from the moment I take part in/submit to the Competition;

a. Transfer of Economic Rights and Right of Use: I transfer to CAFERİDER, irrevocably and without limitation as to duration, place, number, medium or country, all economic rights in the work — including but not limited to the rights of Adaptation (FSEK Art. 21), Reproduction (FSEK Art. 22), Distribution (FSEK Art. 23), Performance (FSEK Art. 24) and Communication to the Public by Means Suitable for the Transmission of Signal, Sound and/or Image (FSEK Art. 25) as set out in Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works (“FSEK”); and that it is entirely at CAFERİDER's discretion, at any date, whether the work in whole or in part, as is or with modifications/adaptations deemed appropriate by CAFERİDER, is staged as a theatre play, made into a video, given a voice-over, transferred to audiovisual media, or used in readings, talks, presentations, promotional and similar events, and on social media and all other digital/print media,

c. Waiver of Rights and Financial Claims: That the decision as to whether or not the screenplay is adapted as a theatre play, film, digital content or otherwise rests entirely with CAFERİDER; that I shall not make any claim for any royalty, licence, performer's/interpreter's neighbouring right, or any other financial/moral compensation, fee or right whatsoever, arising from the results of the Competition or from the use/non-use of the work by CAFERİDER in the manner set out above, and that I irrevocably waive these rights — this I accept, declare and undertake.

3. Cancellation, Modification and No Compensation for the Competition

CAFERİDER reserves the right to cancel the Competition in whole or in part, to postpone it to a later date, and to make changes at any time to the Competition's calendar, rules or conditions. I irrevocably accept, declare and undertake that, in the event the Competition is cancelled, postponed, or its conditions or dates are changed, I shall not make any claim of any kind whatsoever — right, receivable, loss of profit, expense or financial/moral compensation — against CAFERİDER, its Officials or the Organisation, by reason of having applied to/taken part in the Competition.

I declare and accept that I have read and understood this Consent, Waiver and Explicit Consent Declaration, and that I accept it of my own free will, being aware of its legal consequences.
