Battle Plan Submission Terms

These terms apply when you submit a Battle Plan. They are in addition to our Terms of use and Privacy notice. Battle Plans are operated by Beowulf Ventures LLC, 7337 E Doubletree Ranch Rd, Suite 200-236, Scottsdale, AZ 85258 ("we"), the producer of The Bureau of Recreational Consequences.

1. Who can submit

You must be at least 18 years old to submit a Battle Plan. By submitting, you confirm that you are.

2. How to submit

Battle Plans are accepted only through Form BP-1 on theborc.com. Each form you send is one Battle Plan. We do not accept Battle Plans by email, mail, social media, or any other way.

3. The opening intake

The opening intake is free. You do not need a membership. It closes when we have received 1,000 Battle Plans or at 12:00 AM Arizona time on January 1, 2027, whichever comes first. Our form system's count decides when 1,000 is reached. Plans received after the intake closes are not part of it.

You may send up to 3 Battle Plans during the opening intake. We count them by email address. Using more than one email address, or someone else's, to send more than 3 may get all of your plans removed from the intake.

4. After the opening intake

After the opening intake closes, submitting a new Battle Plan will require a paid Bureau Clearance membership. Membership is not open yet. Until it opens, new Battle Plans are not being accepted.

5. Picked plans and the free year

This is not a game of chance. Nothing is drawn or picked at random. We will pick up to 30 Battle Plans from the opening intake on merit, meaning the plans we judge to be the funniest, most original, and best suited to the Bureau's videos (DEFAULT). We pick plans as they come in, so picks can happen before the intake closes, and all 30 may be picked early. Our decisions are final. We do not have to pick 30, and we do not have to explain a decision.

If your plan is picked, we will email you at the address on your form. Each person who is picked gets one free year of Bureau Clearance membership, no matter how many of their plans are picked. If you do not reply within 14 days, we may pick a different plan.

The free year:

Has a value of $60 (12 months at $5.00).
Starts when Bureau Clearance opens, or when you accept it, if that is later.
Is personal to you. It cannot be transferred, sold, or exchanged for cash.
Ends after 12 months. It does not turn into a paid membership, and you will not be charged unless you separately sign up and agree to pay.
If Bureau Clearance moves to YouTube before your free year ends, we will try to give you the remaining time there. If we cannot, we will tell you by email.
If Bureau Clearance has not opened by December 31, 2027 (DEFAULT), we will email you, and the free year will end without any cash value.

You are responsible for any taxes on the free year, if any apply.

6. Plans that are not picked

We do not notify people whose plans are not picked. A plan that is not picked does not come with a free membership. We may still keep it and use it later, under section 7.

7. Your plan and our right to use it

You keep ownership of your Battle Plan. By submitting it, you give Beowulf Ventures LLC a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, copy, edit, adapt, combine with other material, perform, record, publish, and distribute your plan, in any form or media, including videos, the website, social media, and merchandise, and to let others do so for us. We do not have to use your plan, and we do not pay for it, whether or not it is picked. Other than a free year for a picked plan, you get nothing else for submitting.

We receive many ideas, and some will be similar to yours. Submissions are not confidential. Using a similar idea, or one we had already, does not mean we used yours.

8. Credit

If we use your plan, we may credit you by the name or YouTube handle you put on the form (DEFAULT). Credit is not guaranteed, and you can ask us not to credit you by emailing info@theborc.com before the plan is used. You let us use that name or handle for credit and to identify you as the person who sent the plan.

9. What you promise

By submitting, you promise that:

The plan is your own original work, and you have the right to give us the license above.
It does not copy anyone else's work or use anyone else's private information.
Any screenshots or files you upload are yours to share and do not show other people's personal information.
It does not ask anyone to break the law, put anyone in danger, or harass or harm anyone.

We may refuse or remove any submission for any reason, including one that breaks these promises.

10. Liability, law, and changes

Sections 8 and 9 of our Terms of use (liability, and governing law in Arizona with venue in Maricopa County) apply to Battle Plans. We may change these terms for future submissions by posting a new version here. A change will not take away a free year already awarded.

11. Contact

Email info@theborc.com, or write to Beowulf Ventures LLC, 7337 E Doubletree Ranch Rd, Suite 200-236, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. Email is not a way to submit a Battle Plan. The Bureau does not operate a telephone line.
