Terms & Conditions

Contract Clues is a contract reference tool that helps commercial film and television production professionals look up rules, rates, and entitlements in union agreements. Answers are generated by an AI system using excerpts from union contract documents (DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, and Teamsters Local 399).

Contract Clues is available at https://www.contractclues.com/login. The service requires a registered account to access.

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement to use Contract Clues. By registering, you represent that you meet these requirements.

You are responsible for:

• —Providing accurate information during registration
• —Maintaining the confidentiality of your password
• —All activity that occurs under your account
• —Notifying us promptly at brianandfranny@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized use

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms.

You should not rely solely on Contract Clues’s answers when making decisions that may have legal, financial, or labor relations consequences. Always verify answers against the actual contract text and consult a qualified attorney or union representative when appropriate.

AI-generated answers may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Contracts change over time, and Contract Clues’s database may not reflect the most current amendments or memoranda of agreement.

Contract Clues uses Anthropic’s Claude AI to generate answers from contract excerpts. By using the service, you acknowledge that:

• —AI answers are generated automatically and are not reviewed by a human before delivery
• —Answers are only as accurate as the contract excerpts available in our database
• —The AI is instructed not to fabricate information, but errors are possible
• —You are responsible for independently verifying any information before acting on it

If you encounter an answer that appears incorrect, please use the flag feature so we can review it.
