Terms of Use

Last updated 1 November 2026

These terms apply to your use of this website, which is operated by Darkwood Entertainment Pty Ltd (ABN 79 664 482 017) (“we”, “us”), the producer of the feature documentary COMMON WEALTH. By using the site you agree to these terms.

Buying and watching the film

The film is sold and streamed through Vimeo OTT, a service run by Vimeo. When you choose to buy or rent the film, you complete checkout on a Vimeo-hosted page, and Vimeo processes your payment, creates your viewing account and delivers the film to you.

Your purchase and your Vimeo account are also covered by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy shown on our Vimeo OTT store, which you accept at checkout. The price, currency, and any rental viewing period are shown at checkout before you pay.

Refunds and your consumer rights

Vimeo handles payments, viewing access and purchase support for the film. If you have a problem with your purchase, such as the film not playing or a payment issue, contact Vimeo through the Vimeo OTT help centre.

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under that law or under consumer laws where you live.

Personal viewing only

Your purchase gives you a personal licence to watch COMMON WEALTH privately, at home, for non-commercial purposes. It does not give you ownership of the film or any rights in its copyright.

Unless you hold a screening licence from us (see below) or have our prior written permission, you must not:

• show the film to an audience outside your home, including in cinemas, theatres, halls, schools, universities, workplaces, clubs, places of worship, festivals or events, whether or not you charge for entry
• copy, record, screen-capture or rip any part of the film
• upload, stream, broadcast, distribute or otherwise share the film, or share your login or access with anyone else
• sell, rent, lend or otherwise exploit the film commercially
• edit, excerpt or adapt the film

To show the film to an audience, you need a screening licence. You can buy one online at Host a Screening.

Public screening licences

On the Host a Screening page you can buy a licence to show COMMON WEALTH to an audience. You enter your venue, date and expected audience, pay the licence fee, and your licence agreement is emailed to you. The licence is issued by Darkwood Entertainment Pty Ltd, and payment is processed by Stripe.

The licence fee, and any taxes that apply, are shown on the booking page and calculated at checkout before you pay. A licence covers one screening, at the venue, date and time, and for the audience size, stated in your licence.

Each licence is issued on the terms of the licence agreement you accept when you buy. If those terms differ from these terms, the licence agreement applies to your screening. A screening licence does not include the film itself: the film is streamed only through Vimeo OTT, can’t be downloaded, and is bought separately.

Licence fees are generally not refundable if you cancel or don’t hold your screening, and you may reschedule once, as set out in your licence agreement. This does not limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded.

Supporting the film

On the Support the Film page you can make a voluntary contribution of any amount. A contribution is a gift: nothing is provided in return, and it does not buy any licence, access or right in the film. Contributions are not refundable, except as required by law, and are not tax-deductible. Card payments are processed by Stripe. You can also contribute in Bitcoin or Ethereum using the addresses on that page, and those contributions are gifts on the same terms and cannot be reversed.

Copyright infringement and penalties

COMMON WEALTH is protected by copyright owned by Darkwood Entertainment Pty Ltd. Any use of the film beyond personal home viewing, without our written permission, infringes copyright under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and equivalent laws in other countries, and penalties apply.

We actively protect our rights and will take action against anyone who exploits the film without permission. That may include seeking a court order to stop the use, damages (including additional damages for flagrant infringement) and our legal costs. Some infringements, such as unauthorised public screenings or copying and distributing the film on a commercial scale, are also criminal offences that can result in substantial fines or imprisonment.

The film, trailer, poster, images, logo and text on this site belong to Darkwood Entertainment Pty Ltd or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trade mark law. You may share links to this site, but please don’t reuse our content without permission.

Please don’t misuse the site. That includes trying to gain unauthorised access, interfering with how it works, or using it for anything unlawful.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site. This does not exclude any guarantee or right you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
