These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of casttalents.com,
its accounts, features, casting opportunities and related services operated
by Cast Talents LLC. By accessing the Website, registering an account or
using our services, you agree to these Terms.

Booking means a confirmed professional assignment, project, shoot, event or engagement.
2. Our Service
Cast Talents operates a professional casting, talent and related services
platform. Depending on the project, Cast Talents may act as a casting
agency, talent intermediary, booking coordinator, production-service
provider or platform operator.
Nothing on the Website guarantees employment, selection, audition,
income or any minimum number of Bookings.
3. Registration & Accounts
Users must provide accurate, current and complete information and keep their login credentials secure.
Users must not impersonate another person, create fraudulent accounts,
submit deliberately misleading information or access another person's
account without authority.
Cast Talents may request reasonable verification of identity, age,
guardianship, company status or professional information.
4. Minor Talents
A person under 18 may participate where appropriately authorised by a
parent or legal guardian. The adult creating or managing the profile
represents that they have lawful authority to act for the minor and to
provide the relevant information and media.
5. Talent Responsibilities
Talents are expected to:
- Maintain accurate and reasonably current profile information.
- Submit genuine and recent portfolio material.
- Apply only where genuinely available and interested.
- Honour confirmed Bookings and agreed call times.
- Behave professionally and respectfully.
- Follow reasonable production and safety instructions.
- Maintain legally required visa, permit, licence, NOC or work authorisation.

7. Casting Applications & Shortlists
Cast Talents may circulate opportunities to relevant members of its
database. Interested and available Talents may apply and Cast Talents
may review those applications before providing selected profiles to the
Client.
A profile submission, application or shortlist is not a confirmed Booking.
A Booking exists only after confirmation through Cast Talents or another
process expressly authorised by Cast Talents.
8. Bookings & Agency Introductions
Where Cast Talents introduces, shortlists or books a Talent for a Client,
communications concerning fees, timing, overtime, usage, cancellation
and material Booking changes should be handled through Cast Talents
unless otherwise authorised in writing.
Talent and Client must not intentionally use an introduction made through
Cast Talents to circumvent the agency in relation to an engagement
arising from that introduction.
Accepted quotations, booking confirmations, purchase orders, invoices
or signed project agreements may contain additional project-specific
conditions.
9. User Content & Intellectual Property
Users retain ownership of content they are legally entitled to own and
confirm that they possess all permissions necessary to provide it.
Talent Content may be hosted, reproduced, resized, optimised, displayed
and communicated by Cast Talents for platform operation, casting,

Fees applicable to memberships, subscriptions or services will be
communicated before purchase or confirmation.
Talent and Client Booking payments are governed by the applicable
quotation, Booking confirmation, invoice, purchase order and/or agreed
project conditions.
12. Commercial Usage Rights
Where a Talent's image, voice, likeness or performance is commissioned
for commercial use, authorised usage should be defined by the applicable
Booking or quotation, including where relevant the medium, territory,
duration and exclusivity.
Payment for a shoot or performance does not automatically grant unlimited
or perpetual usage unless this has been expressly agreed.
Extensions, renewals, additional territories, additional media or
materially different uses may require prior approval and additional fees.
13. Cancellation, Changes & Overtime
Booking cancellations, rescheduling, overtime and material project
changes may result in additional charges under the applicable Booking
terms and Cast Talents Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Working time may be calculated from the confirmed call time. Overtime
must be authorised through Cast Talents.
14. No Guarantee of Work
Registration, profile approval, membership, verification, application,
shortlisting or previous Bookings do not guarantee future work.

The Website may use independent payment, communications, hosting,

circumstances reasonably beyond its control, including major
