CAST ME TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: September 23, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Cast Me Inc. (“Cast Me,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms govern your access to and use of the Cast Me platform and services, including the Cast Me Talent mobile application, Cast Me Productions mobile application, castme.productions website, and any related websites, applications, features, products, communications, or services operated by Cast Me Inc. (collectively, the “Cast Me Services”).
By accessing, creating an account for, or using any Cast Me Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Cast Me Services.
1. Privacy
Your use of the Cast Me Services is subject to Cast Me’s Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy describes how Cast Me collects, uses, stores, discloses, and otherwise processes information in connection with the Cast Me Services.
By using the Cast Me Services, you acknowledge that you have reviewed our Privacy Policy.
2. Electronic Communications
Visiting castme.productions, using a Cast Me mobile application, contacting Cast Me electronically, or otherwise using the Cast Me Services constitutes electronic communication.
You consent to receive electronic communications from Cast Me and agree that agreements, notices, disclosures, updates, and other communications that we provide electronically, including by email, through the Cast Me Services, or through notices displayed within the platform, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. Eligibility and Age Requirements
You must be at least thirteen (13) years old to create an account or use the Cast Me Services.
Cast Me does not permit individuals under the age of thirteen to create or maintain an account or use the Cast Me Services. Cast Me does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen.
If Cast Me learns that an individual under thirteen has created an account or that Cast Me has collected personal information from a child under thirteen, Cast Me may terminate the associated account and take reasonable steps to delete the information.
If you are at least thirteen but under eighteen years of age, you may use the Cast Me Services only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.
A parent or legal guardian who authorizes a minor to use the Cast Me Services agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to these Terms on behalf of the minor and is responsible for supervising the minor’s use of the Cast Me Services.
By using the Cast Me Services, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements.
4. Your Account
Certain Cast Me Services require you to create an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for restricting unauthorized access to your account.
You agree to accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.
You may not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise provide your account to another person or entity without Cast Me’s authorization.
Cast Me is not responsible for unauthorized third-party access to your account resulting from your failure to adequately safeguard your credentials, theft or misappropriation of credentials, or other circumstances outside Cast Me’s reasonable control.
Cast Me reserves the right to refuse service, restrict functionality, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content when Cast Me determines such action is appropriate, subject to applicable law.
5. Cast Me Talent and Cast Me Productions
Cast Me provides technology designed to connect individuals and organizations involved in entertainment productions.
Cast Me Talent may allow actors, performers, talent, crew members, creatives, and other users to create profiles, discover opportunities, submit applications or auditions, communicate with production users, and participate in production-related activities.
Cast Me Productions may allow producers, casting professionals, filmmakers, production companies, and other authorized users to create and manage productions, list opportunities, discover and evaluate talent, crew, and creatives, receive and review applications or auditions, communicate with users, and use other production-management features.
Features may change, be added, restricted, or discontinued from time to time.
Unless Cast Me expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Cast Me provides the platform through which users interact but is not a party to agreements, engagements, employment relationships, casting decisions, production arrangements, investments, or other transactions entered into between users.
6. Production Listings and Production User Responsibilities
Users who create, submit, publish, or manage a production or opportunity through the Cast Me Services represent and warrant that they have the authority necessary to do so.
Production users must provide truthful and materially accurate information regarding productions and opportunities they list.
This may include information regarding:
- the identity of the production;
- available roles;
- crew or creative opportunities;
- compensation;
- production status;
- expected filming or performance dates;
- locations;
- requirements;
- financing status;
- application procedures; and
- other material information provided to Cast Me users.
Production users may not knowingly advertise fictitious, fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized productions or opportunities.
A user who represents that they have authority to cast, hire, recruit, or otherwise make decisions for a production represents that they have a reasonable basis for making that representation.
Cast Me does not independently guarantee the accuracy, legitimacy, financial condition, authority, qualifications, identity, or conduct of every production user or production appearing through the Cast Me Services.
Users are responsible for evaluating opportunities and other users before entering into professional, contractual, financial, employment, or other relationships.
7. Talent and User Profiles
Users are responsible for information contained in their Cast Me profiles.
You agree to provide truthful and materially accurate information and not knowingly misrepresent your:
- identity;
- professional experience;
- qualifications;
- age;
- skills;
- credits;
- union status;
- availability;
- photographs;
- video content;
- physical characteristics;
- professional background; or
- other information relevant to your participation on Cast Me.
You may not impersonate another person or create an account using materially false identifying information.
8. Profile and Platform Visibility
Cast Me is a professional networking and production platform. Certain information submitted through Cast Me is therefore intended to be visible to other users.
Depending on your account type and use of the platform, information visible to other authorized Cast Me users may include:
- your name;

Talent users acknowledge that information submitted through profiles, applications, auditions, or related features may be visible to production users evaluating talent for opportunities.
Production users acknowledge that professional profile information and information included in production listings may be visible to talent, crew members, creatives, producers, and other authorized Cast Me users through the Cast Me mobile applications and website.
Users participating in the same production or project may also be able to view certain information regarding other participants where necessary or appropriate to provide Cast Me’s production-management functionality.
Additional information regarding the use and disclosure of personal information is contained in the Cast Me Privacy Policy.
9. Community Standards and User Conduct
Cast Me is intended to provide a professional, respectful, safe, and trustworthy environment for talent, producers, casting professionals, filmmakers, crew members, creatives, and other entertainment-industry participants.
You agree to treat other users respectfully and communicate professionally and appropriately.
You may not:
- harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, or abuse another person;
- discriminate unlawfully against another person;
- engage in fraudulent or deceptive activity;
- impersonate another person;
- knowingly misrepresent yourself, your qualifications, or a production;
- post or transmit unlawful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or materially inappropriate content;
- knowingly provide false or misleading information about casting authority or employment opportunities;
- attempt to exploit another user;
- use Cast Me to facilitate unlawful conduct;
- violate another person’s privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, or other legal rights;
- use Cast Me to send spam or unauthorized commercial solicitations;
- interfere with another user’s ability to use the Cast Me Services; or
- engage in conduct Cast Me reasonably determines creates a material risk to another user, the Cast Me community, or the Cast Me platform.
Cast Me may investigate suspected violations of these standards.
Cast Me reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to remove content, restrict platform functionality, suspend accounts, or permanently terminate access to any or all Cast Me Services when Cast Me determines such action is appropriate to protect users, the platform, Cast Me, or the integrity of the Cast Me community.
10. Funding Submissions
Certain Cast Me Services may allow eligible production users to submit productions for Cast Me’s review and consideration for potential funding-related opportunities.
Submission Fee
Cast Me may charge a fee to submit a production for funding consideration (the “Submission Fee”).
The Submission Fee is solely a fee to submit the production to Cast Me for review and evaluation.
Payment of the Submission Fee does not purchase or guarantee an introduction, referral, investment, financing, fundraising service, approval, acceptance, response from a third party, or any other outcome.
Cast Me has sole discretion to determine whether a submitted production warrants further consideration.
Cast Me may decline to pursue, present, refer, or otherwise take further action regarding any production.
Cast Me has no obligation to introduce a production to any investor, financing source, production company, adviser, industry stakeholder, or other third party.
If Cast Me believes a production may be appropriate for further consideration, Cast Me may contact the production user regarding possible next steps.
Future Relationships and Separate Agreements
Cast Me and the production user may later choose to enter into a separate written agreement concerning additional services, introductions, advisory relationships, participation rights, compensation arrangements, investment, financing-related activities, or another business relationship.
Payment of the Submission Fee does not obligate either Cast Me or the production user to enter into any subsequent agreement.
Any future arrangement will be governed by the terms of the separate written agreement applicable to that arrangement.
Nothing in these Terms guarantees that Cast Me will pursue any additional relationship with a production after reviewing its submission.
Authorization to Review and Share Submitted Materials
By submitting a production for funding consideration, you authorize Cast Me to review the information and materials you submit.
If Cast Me determines that sharing some or all of those materials may be appropriate in connection with evaluating a potential opportunity, you authorize Cast Me to share relevant submitted information with potential investors, financing sources, production partners, advisers, industry stakeholders, or other parties whom Cast Me reasonably believes may have an interest in the production.
Information shared may include, as applicable:
- production descriptions;
- project summaries;
- scripts or portions of scripts;
- pitch decks;
- production proposals;
- budgets;
- financing information;
- requested funding amounts;
- production-team information;
- names;
- contact information;
- attachments; and
- other information voluntarily submitted as part of the funding submission.
You represent that you have the rights and authority necessary to provide such information and materials to Cast Me and to authorize their disclosure as described in these Terms.
You should not provide Cast Me with information or materials that you are not legally authorized to disclose.
Unless Cast Me separately agrees otherwise in writing, submission of materials does not create a confidential, fiduciary, advisory, agency, partnership, or similar relationship between you and Cast Me.
Cast Me cannot guarantee that third parties receiving properly authorized materials will maintain those materials as confidential unless separate confidentiality obligations apply.
Cast Me does not guarantee the conduct, decisions, financial capacity, representations, or performance of any third party with whom information may be shared.
No Guarantee of Funding
Cast Me makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the:
- availability of financing;
- amount of financing;
- timing of financing;
- suitability of any potential financing source;
- financial capacity of any potential financing source;
- terms of any potential transaction;
- legality or structure of a proposed transaction;
- profitability of a production;
- commercial success of a production; or
- completion of any potential investment or financing transaction.
A production may receive no funding whatsoever, including after review by Cast Me or after Cast Me communicates information regarding a production to a third party.
Users are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and obtaining appropriate independent legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other professional advice before entering into any financing, investment, production, or other material transaction.
11. Eligibility for Funding Submissions
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to submit a production for funding consideration.
If you are submitting a production on behalf of a company, production entity, partnership, organization, or another person, you represent that you have authority to make the submission and provide the submitted materials on its behalf.
Cast Me may decline to review or discontinue its review of any submission if Cast Me determines that the person making the submission does not satisfy applicable age requirements or does not have sufficient authority or rights to submit the production or its materials.
12. Cancellation and Refund Policy
You may cancel a Cast Me subscription at any time, subject to the applicable subscription platform and billing rules.
Except where required by applicable law or applicable app marketplace policies, cancellation of a subscription after purchase does not automatically entitle the user to a refund for amounts already charged.
Any Submission Fee or other one-time fee may be subject to separate terms disclosed at the time of purchase.
Payment of a Submission Fee is for submission and review as described in these Terms and does not guarantee any result.
Questions regarding payments, subscriptions, or cancellations may be submitted through the Contact Us functionality available through the Cast Me website or applications.
13. Links to Third-Party Sites and Services
The Cast Me Services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, services, or resources (“Third-Party Services”).
Third-Party Services are not controlled by Cast Me.
Cast Me is not responsible for the content, policies, security practices, representations, products, services, availability, conduct, or operation of Third-Party Services.
Providing a link or connection to a third party is for convenience or platform functionality and does not, by itself, constitute Cast Me’s endorsement, approval, recommendation, or guarantee of that third party.
Certain services available through Cast Me may be provided in whole or in part through third-party organizations.
By requesting or using functionality that requires a third-party provider, you acknowledge that Cast Me may share information with third parties as reasonably necessary to provide the requested functionality, subject to Cast Me’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Cast Me may also facilitate connections or communications involving investors, financing sources, service providers, production partners, or other third parties.
An introduction, integration, connection, communication, or referral does not constitute a guarantee regarding the third party or any transaction with that third party.
14. No Unlawful or Prohibited Use
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable right to access and use the Cast Me Services in accordance with these Terms.
You may not use the Cast Me Services for any unlawful purpose or in any manner prohibited by these Terms.
You may not use the Cast Me Services in a manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair, disrupt, or interfere with the platform or another person’s use of the Cast Me Services.
You may not attempt to obtain information, materials, data, or access through means not intentionally made available through the Cast Me Services.
15. Intellectual Property
The Cast Me Services and content owned or licensed by Cast Me—including software, designs, interfaces, trademarks, logos, graphics, text, branding, databases, and compilations—are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except as expressly permitted through the Cast Me Services, you may not modify, publish, transmit, reverse engineer, reproduce, sell, distribute, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit Cast Me-owned content without authorization.
Your use of Cast Me does not transfer ownership of Cast Me’s intellectual property to you.
Cast Me grants you only the rights expressly provided under these Terms.
16. Communication Services
Cast Me may provide messaging, chat, community features, calendars, profiles, production pages, or other communication facilities (“Communication Services”).
You agree to use Communication Services only for lawful and appropriate purposes related to the functionality of the applicable Cast Me Service.
When using Communication Services, you may not:
- defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate the legal rights of another person;
- publish or distribute unlawful, obscene, defamatory, infringing, or materially inappropriate content;
- upload materials protected by intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights unless you have appropriate rights or permissions;
- upload malicious software, viruses, corrupted files, or harmful code;
- conduct unauthorized advertising or solicitation;
- operate pyramid schemes or chain letters;
- knowingly distribute material that cannot legally be distributed;
- falsify authorship or source information;
- restrict or inhibit another user from using the Cast Me Services;
- violate applicable community rules;
- collect information about other users without authorization; or
- violate applicable law.
Cast Me has no general obligation to monitor all communications between users.
However, Cast Me reserves the right to review content where appropriate and to remove or restrict content in its discretion, subject to applicable law.
Cast Me may terminate or restrict a user’s access to Communication Services when Cast Me determines doing so is appropriate.
Cast Me may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, court order, governmental request, or legitimate law-enforcement request.
Users should exercise reasonable caution when disclosing personal information to other users.
Cast Me does not control the statements, messages, promises, conduct, or representations made by individual users and generally disclaims responsibility for actions arising from interactions between users, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.
17. User Submissions
Cast Me does not claim ownership of content that you own and submit to the Cast Me Services, including photographs, videos, audition materials, production materials, scripts, documents, feedback, suggestions, profile information, production listings, and other materials (“Submissions”).
You retain any ownership rights that you have in your Submissions.
By posting, uploading, transmitting, providing, or submitting a Submission through Cast Me, you grant Cast Me and its necessary service providers and sublicensees a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Submission only as reasonably necessary to:
- operate and provide the Cast Me Services;
- provide functionality requested by you;
- host and store the Submission;
- reproduce, transmit, display, format, resize, and technically process the Submission;
- maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the functionality and performance of the Cast Me Services; and
- make the Submission available to authorized users where you have submitted the content for that purpose.
For example, when a talent user submits an audition or other application material to a production, the talent user retains ownership of that material, but authorizes Cast Me to host, process, transmit, and display the material to the authorized production users who are entitled to evaluate that talent for the applicable opportunity.
This license does not authorize Cast Me to use a user’s audition materials or other Submissions in Cast Me advertising or marketing solely because the material was uploaded to the Cast Me Services. Cast Me will obtain separate permission where such permission is required for a marketing or promotional use that is not necessary to provide the Cast Me Services requested by the user.
The ordinary license in this Section does not limit or replace the separate permissions applicable to funding submissions under Section 10. Production materials submitted for funding consideration may be reviewed and shared as specifically described in Section 10.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no compensation is owed by Cast Me merely because Cast Me hosts or uses a Submission in accordance with these Terms.
Cast Me is under no obligation to publish or continue hosting a Submission and may remove content in accordance with these Terms.
By submitting a Submission, you represent that you own or otherwise control the rights necessary to provide the Submission and grant the permissions described in these Terms.
18. Copyright and Intellectual Property Complaints
Cast Me respects the intellectual-property rights of others.
Users may not upload, publish, transmit, or otherwise provide content through the Cast Me Services unless they own the content or have the rights, licenses, permissions, or authority necessary to use and provide that content.
If you believe content available through the Cast Me Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, you may notify Cast Me through the Contact Us functionality available on the Cast Me website or within the Cast Me applications, or by contacting Cast Me using the email addresses listed in the Contact Us section of these Terms.
Please provide sufficient information for Cast Me to identify the material at issue and understand the basis for your complaint.
Cast Me may investigate intellectual-property complaints and may remove, disable access to, or restrict allegedly infringing content where Cast Me determines such action is appropriate.
Cast Me may also restrict or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly or materially violate the intellectual-property rights of others.
19. Reporting Violations and Concerns
If you believe another user, production, listing, communication, or other activity violates these Terms, the Cast Me Community Standards, or applicable law, you may report the issue through the Contact Us functionality available through the Cast Me website or Cast Me applications.
You may also contact Cast Me using the email addresses listed in the Contact Us section below.
Cast Me may review reported conduct and take action that Cast Me determines appropriate, including removing content, restricting functionality, suspending accounts, or terminating access to the Cast Me Services.
Submission of a report does not guarantee that Cast Me will take any particular action or reach any particular conclusion.
20. International Users
The Cast Me Services are operated by Cast Me Inc. from the United States.
If you access Cast Me from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with laws applicable to you.
You agree not to use Cast Me content or services in any jurisdiction or manner prohibited by applicable law, restrictions, or regulations.
21. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cast Me Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and applicable third parties from losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:
- your use or misuse of the Cast Me Services;
- content or Submissions provided by you;
- your violation of these Terms;
- your violation of applicable law;
- your infringement or violation of another person’s rights;
- your production listing;
- your representations regarding a production or opportunity; or
- transactions or relationships entered into by you through use of Cast Me.
Cast Me reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of a matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to reasonably cooperate in the defense.
22. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
Please read this Section carefully. It affects important legal rights. Except for certain claims described below, disputes between you and Cast Me must be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury and is subject to limited judicial review.
22.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating arbitration or a court proceeding, you and Cast Me agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
A notice of dispute should describe the nature of the dispute, the facts giving rise to it, and the relief requested.
A user may send a notice of dispute to either email address listed in Section 37 with the subject line “Dispute Notice.”
Cast Me may send a notice of dispute to the email address associated with the user’s account.
The thirty-day informal-resolution period begins when the notice is received.
Either party may seek urgent temporary relief from a court where necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable harm while the parties attempt informal resolution.
22.2 Agreement to Individual Binding Arbitration
Except for the claims expressly excluded below, you and Cast Me agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Cast Me Services, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or the relationship between you and Cast Me will be resolved through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.
This includes claims based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory.
The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
An arbitrator, rather than a judge or jury, will determine the merits of claims subject to arbitration.
Questions concerning whether a particular dispute is subject to this arbitration agreement will be determined by a court with appropriate jurisdiction unless applicable law requires otherwise.
22.3 American Arbitration Association
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures then in effect and, where applicable, any AAA supplementary rules governing coordinated or mass arbitration.
The applicable AAA rules and fee information are available from the AAA at adr.org.
The arbitration will be conducted by one neutral arbitrator unless the applicable AAA rules require otherwise.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and the applicable AAA rules, these Terms will control to the extent permitted by applicable law and the AAA rules.
If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer a particular arbitration, the parties may agree to another neutral arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree, either party may ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator or determine the appropriate procedure consistent with the FAA.
22.4 Arbitration Fees and Costs
AAA administrative fees, filing fees, and arbitrator compensation will be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable fee schedule then in effect, except where applicable law requires a different allocation.
Cast Me will pay any fees that the applicable AAA rules require the business to pay.
Each party will generally be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, experts, witnesses, and other expenses, except where applicable law, these Terms, or an arbitrator’s award provides otherwise.
22.5 Location and Manner of Arbitration
Arbitration may be conducted through documents, telephone, video conference, or an in-person hearing as permitted by the applicable AAA rules and determined appropriate for the dispute.
If an in-person hearing is required, its location will be determined in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable law, taking into account reasonable convenience to the consumer.
22.6 Small Claims Court
Either you or Cast Me may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if the claim qualifies for that court’s jurisdiction and remains an individual claim.
If a claim that qualifies for small claims court is filed in arbitration, either party may request that it instead proceed in small claims court where permitted by applicable AAA rules and law.
22.7 Certain Court Proceedings
The following may be brought in court rather than arbitration to the extent permitted by applicable law:
- claims seeking to enforce or protect intellectual-property rights;
- claims involving unauthorized access to systems or accounts, theft, piracy, or misuse of confidential or proprietary information;
- requests for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief necessary to prevent imminent or irreparable harm;
- individual claims properly brought in small claims court; and
- proceedings relating to enforcement, confirmation, modification, or vacatur of an arbitration award or enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
Except for qualifying small claims matters and where applicable law requires otherwise, court proceedings permitted under this Section are subject to Section 29.
22.8 Finality
The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, subject to the limited review permitted under the FAA and other applicable law.
The arbitrator will provide a written decision or award as required by the applicable AAA rules.
Judgment on an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
22.9 Severability of Arbitration Provisions
If a portion of this arbitration agreement is determined to be unlawful or unenforceable, that portion will be severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining portions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If the requirement to arbitrate a particular claim is determined to be unenforceable, that claim may proceed in court subject to the remaining applicable provisions of these Terms, including Section 23 and Section 29 where enforceable.
23. Individual Proceedings and Class Action Waiver
You and Cast Me agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
You and Cast Me each agree not to bring, participate in, or seek relief through a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding against the other, whether in arbitration or in court, except where applicable law does not permit such a waiver.
An arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s individual claim, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
No arbitration may be combined with another person’s arbitration for purposes of deciding claims on a class or representative basis.
Administrative coordination of multiple individual arbitrations under applicable AAA rules does not, by itself, convert those arbitrations into a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
If this Section is determined to be unenforceable as to a particular claim or form of relief, the issue will be handled as required by applicable law without invalidating the remainder of these Terms.
24. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Cast Me Services may include inaccuracies, errors, interruptions, delays, or unavailable functionality.
Cast Me may modify, improve, update, or discontinue features of the Cast Me Services from time to time.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Cast Me Services and information, software, products, features, and services provided through Cast Me are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Cast Me disclaims implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, reliability, availability, and accuracy.
Cast Me does not guarantee that the Cast Me Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or suitable for every user’s particular purposes.
25. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Cast Me Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special, or consequential damages, including damages arising from lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, business interruption, loss of use, or similar losses arising out of or relating to the Cast Me Services.
This limitation includes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, claims arising from or relating to:
- use of or inability to use Cast Me;
- interactions between users;
- casting decisions;
- production opportunities;
- employment or engagement decisions;
- inaccurate user information;
- conduct by third parties;
- funding submissions;
- decisions regarding whether Cast Me takes further action regarding a submission;
- potential financing opportunities;
- decisions by investors or financing sources;
- failure to obtain financing;
- financing or investment transactions;
- third-party websites or services;
- user-generated content; or
- information obtained through Cast Me.
Cast Me does not control or guarantee the conduct of users, production companies, talent, crew members, investors, funding sources, or other third parties.
Because certain jurisdictions do not allow some exclusions or limitations of liability, portions of this Section may not apply to you.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
26. Termination and Access Restrictions
Cast Me reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to suspend, restrict, or terminate access to some or all Cast Me Services when Cast Me determines such action is appropriate.
Reasons may include, without limitation:
- violation of these Terms;
- violation of Community Standards;
- fraud or suspected fraud;
- harassment or abusive conduct;
- false or misleading information;
- misuse of the Cast Me Services;
- risk to other users;
- legal or regulatory requirements;
- security concerns; or
- conduct Cast Me reasonably determines may harm the platform or its community.
Where permitted by applicable law, Cast Me may also discontinue providing a service or feature.
Termination of access does not automatically eliminate obligations or rights that by their nature should survive termination.
27. No Employment, Partnership, Agency, or Fiduciary Relationship
Unless Cast Me expressly agrees otherwise in writing, your use of the Cast Me Services does not create a joint venture, partnership, employment, fiduciary, agency, advisory, or similar relationship between you and Cast Me.
Cast Me’s operation of the platform does not make Cast Me the employer, agent, producer, casting director, investor, financial adviser, or representative of users solely by virtue of their use of the Cast Me Services.
28. Compliance With Legal Process
Cast Me’s performance under these Terms is subject to applicable laws and legal processes.
Nothing contained in these Terms prevents Cast Me from complying with lawful governmental, court, regulatory, or law-enforcement requests relating to your use of Cast Me or information provided to or collected by Cast Me.
29. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, these Terms and disputes arising out of or relating to the Cast Me Services are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of Sections 22 and 23 to the extent applicable.
For claims or proceedings that are permitted to proceed in court under Section 22, including proceedings concerning enforcement of this arbitration agreement or an arbitration award, you and Cast Me consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, except where applicable law requires or permits a different forum.
Qualifying individual small claims actions may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 22.
30. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent reasonably necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.
If that is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
The specific severability provisions applicable to arbitration and the class-action waiver are also set forth in Sections 22 and 23.
31. Survival
Certain provisions of these Terms are intended to continue to apply even after you stop using Cast Me or your account is suspended or terminated.
Provisions concerning intellectual property, permissions previously granted with respect to Submissions, funding submissions and disclosures already made, indemnification, binding arbitration, individual proceedings and the class-action waiver, disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law, jurisdiction and venue, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect after termination to the extent permitted by applicable law.
32. No Waiver
If Cast Me does not enforce a provision of these Terms in a particular instance, that does not mean Cast Me has waived its right to enforce that provision in the future.
Any waiver by Cast Me must be expressly made in writing to be effective.
33. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to another person or entity without Cast Me’s prior written consent.
Cast Me may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, sale of assets, change of control, or similar business transaction, or by operation of law.
Any permitted successor or assignee of Cast Me may exercise Cast Me’s rights and perform Cast Me’s obligations under these Terms.
34. Events Outside Cast Me’s Control
Cast Me will not be responsible for a delay or failure to perform an obligation under these Terms when the delay or failure results from circumstances reasonably outside Cast Me’s control.
Such circumstances may include natural disasters, fires, severe weather, power or internet outages, failures of third-party hosting or infrastructure providers, telecommunications failures, governmental actions, labor disruptions, cyberattacks or security incidents despite reasonable precautions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics or pandemics, or failures of third-party platforms or services on which Cast Me reasonably depends.
This provision does not excuse obligations that applicable law does not permit Cast Me to exclude.
35. Entire Agreement
Unless otherwise expressly specified, these Terms constitute the agreement between you and Cast Me regarding your use of the Cast Me Services, together with any additional terms expressly applicable to a particular service, purchase, subscription, feature, or separately negotiated agreement.
These Terms supersede prior or contemporaneous communications regarding the subject matter addressed herein.
A separate written agreement entered into between Cast Me and a user concerning additional services, financing-related activities, production participation, compensation, investment, advisory services, or another business arrangement may supplement or modify these Terms solely with respect to the matters addressed in that separate agreement.
Electronic versions of these Terms and notices provided electronically may be used in legal or administrative proceedings to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The parties intend these Terms and related documents to be written in English.
36. Changes to These Terms
Cast Me may modify these Terms from time to time.
The most current version of these Terms will be made available through the Cast Me Services or on our website.
Where required by applicable law, Cast Me will provide appropriate notice of material changes.
Changes to Sections 22, 23, or 29 concerning dispute resolution, arbitration, or governing law will not apply retroactively to a dispute for which you and Cast Me had actual notice before the effective date of the change, except where the parties agree otherwise or applicable law permits such application.
Your continued use of Cast Me following the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
We encourage users to review these Terms periodically.
