An entertainment company contacted me about reading my script and sent me a standard release form to sign. I've been through this procedure before and wasn't really expecting anything different. However after reading over the release form I found basic grammar mistakes on 3 of the 4 pages of the form. Now these were small mistakes like saying, "Writer acknowledge that blah blah blah" instead of, "Writer acknowledges that blah blah blah" and maybe like an extra word in a sentence that didn't belong. I could've just ignored it, signed the form and sent it, but something about just didn't sit well with me. So I emailed them to let them know that there were mistakes in their release form. I tried not to be rude and didn't demand they make changes and send it back to me. I just said I wanted to let them know that before I sign I was concerned about the grammar mistakes.
On reflection though, I feel like I might've blown it with this company. Maybe I should've just quietly signed it and sent it back to them. But the thing is, even though this was a basic agreement, a release form is still a legal contract to protect both parties. I would expect a legal document to be free of basic grammar mistakes. I still haven't heard back from them and doubt I will.
I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or advice on what they would've done instead.
