Terms
Plain terms, plainly stated.
What you can expect from this site, what an application does and does not create, and who owns what.
Using this site
This site presents the work of Idea to Stage and accepts applications to work with us. You are welcome to read it and to apply. Please do not scrape it, republish it, or present its contents as your own.
An application is not an engagement
Submitting an application creates no obligation on either side. We may decline, and you may withdraw. Work begins only when both parties have signed a written agreement that sets out scope, fees, and timing.
What we promise about stages
We guide clients through applications and selection for stages where ideas are taken seriously, and we prepare them properly for the rooms they reach. We do not guarantee placement on any particular stage, at any particular event, or by any particular date. Selection decisions belong to the organisers of those stages, not to us. Anyone who promises you otherwise is overselling.
Your ideas stay yours
The idea you describe in an application remains entirely your intellectual property. We treat applications as confidential, and we do not use the ideas in them for anything other than assessing whether we are a fit.
Our material stays ours
The writing, design, and marks on this site belong to Idea to Stage. The typefaces, photography, and code libraries used here remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their licences.
Sample content on this site
Some content is clearly marked as sample or placeholder while the firm builds its first cohort. Anything labelled "Sample" is illustrative and should not be read as a description of a real client.
No warranties, and limits on liability
This site is provided as it is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site.
Outcomes vary
Results depend on the idea, the work, and the person doing it. Nothing on this site promises a particular outcome.
Changes
We may revise these terms. The current version will always live at this address, with its date below.

Written to be understood rather than to intimidate. Not yet reviewed by a lawyer — have counsel check it before you depend on it.
