Your Creative Works: Candy Writers Club claims zero ownership, copyright, or licensing interest in any script, treatment, narrative design document, or dialogue snippet you share with us during consultations. All original intellectual property remains solely and exclusively yours.

5. Career & Employment Disclaimer (Misrepresentation Policy)
Candy Writers Club provides career consultation, craft critiques, and mentorship pairing. We are an educational and advisory association, not an accredited degree-granting university, an employment agency, an artist representation agency (talent agency), or a labor union.
No Guarantees: While our mentors have verified industry track records, we do NOT guarantee employment, freelance commissions, studio signing, option agreements, or membership in trade unions (e.g., Writers Guild of America). Success in the creative industry depends entirely upon individual effort, craft mastery, and external market factors.
