I. Service Description
The Website and Service serves the user, background performer casting personnel, producers, Service providers, and other employers by allowing the user to submit a general application to the Company containing relevant personal information including, but not limited to, photographs, personal characteristics, employment eligibility, contact information, and such other information as may be required or submitted by individuals in order to be considered for engagement as a background performer (collectively, “Information”). The purpose of the collection of this Information enables background performer casting personnel, producers, Service providers, and other employers to search for, select and cast users as background performers in film, television or other productions. Upon the selection of a user as a prospective background performer in a film, television or other production, the Company will retain said user’s Information and may contact selected users for potential casting in a current or future film, television or other production. You acknowledge and agree that the Company does not guarantee that you or any other applicant will be selected or engaged for use as a background performer in any film, television and/or other production. Users are further provided with access to information about the Company, as well as a host of related, interactive and other online experiences. We may augment, change, suspend, modify or discontinue any aspect of the Website or Service at any time without notice to you. We are not a talent agency and do not collect fees of any kind from the user.
II. Consent to the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Data
In order to use the Services, you must submit a general application to the Company and provide certain Information about yourself. The Company will collect and retain, use and disclose the Information and any other information you choose to provide for the purposes of (i) verifying your identity and age, (ii) managing your application, (iii) providing the Services, (iv) searching for, selecting and casting users as background performers in film, television and/or other productions, and (v) any other purpose indicated in the Company’s Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own and/or are authorized to provide all of the Information in your submitted application to the Company; (ii) the submission and use of your Information through the Service does not violate, misrepresent, misappropriate or infringe on the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or other intellectual property rights; and (iii) the Information you provide is complete, accurate, current, and truthful information. You further agree to contact the Company to update your Information as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy. The Company does not claim ownership of any Information that you submit in your application through the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to the Company a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Information that you submit in your application through the Service, subject to the Company’s Privacy Policy.
We do not knowingly collect Information from individuals under the age of majority in the jurisdiction of their residence (“Minor”) without the consent of their parent or legal guardian. Accordingly, all Services that require the submission of Information to the Company are restricted to persons who are the age of majority in the jurisdiction of their residence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a Minor and have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to submit your Information to the Company, you may submit Information to the Company only with the involvement of a parent of legal guardian who agrees to these Terms of Use and to be responsible for your use of the Service. IF YOU ARE A MINOR, DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE COMPANY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE CONSENT AND INVOLVEMENT OF YOUR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN. Until you are the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, your parents or legal guardians may ask us to modify, deny access to, or delete your application and we may do so at their request at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability. To submit Information to the Company and to use the Service, the Company may require that the parents or legal guardians of Minors enter into a separate agreement to evidence the consent of the parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that we have collected Information from Minors without verification of parental consent, we will discard and delete said Information.
