Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using screenplay-beat-sheet-timer.hub2.day (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to all visitors and users of the Site.

Purpose and Informational Use Only

The Site provides an interactive beat sheet calculator designed to help screenwriters, novelists, and storytellers estimate where major story beats should fall based on a script's total runtime. The outputs are informational and convenience-only. They are not professional writing advice, editorial guidance, or a substitute for your own creative judgment.

You are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying any beat timing suggestions before applying them to your work. Story structure is an art as much as a craft, and no automated tool can account for every creative choice.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on the Site constitutes professional screenwriting, literary, legal, or other advisory services. The beat sheet calculations are generated from widely known structural guidelines and are intended as a starting reference, not a definitive prescription.

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use of the Site. You must not use the Site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its functionality.
