Netflix

GRANT OF PERMISSION FOR EDUCATIONAL SCREENINGS

Consequently, Netflix will permit one-time educational screenings, "one-time screening" means that you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week - but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show the film once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay.

Educational screenings are permitted for any of the documentaries noted with this information, on the following terms:

  • The documentary may only be accessed via the Netflix service, by a Netflix account holder. Netflix doesn't sell DVDs, nor can they provide other ways to exhibit the film.
  • The screening must be non-profit and non-commercial. That means you can’t charge admission, fundraise, solicit donations, or accept advertising or commercial sponsorships in connection with the screening.
  • The documentary shall not be screened at any political campaign events and/or electoral campaigning events.
  • Please don’t use Netflix’s logos in any promotion for the screening, or do anything else that indicates that the screening is “official” or endorsed by Netflix.
  • Netflix trusts their users to respect these guidelines, which are intended to help you share and discuss the documentary content in your community.
  • To the extent your institution requires you to demonstrate that you have a license for your screening, please show them the above information.
