Description of Services
Casting Coin provides a software platform that enables artist providers in the fashion, media, entertainment, music, and all other creative industries, such as photographers, models, hair and makeup artists, stylists, photo retouchers, fashion stylist, and fashion influencers, actors, directors, voiceover talent, producers, musicians, celebrities, and video editors ("Providers"), can feature their best work and get booked directly by businesses seeking their particular artist ("Bookers"; collectively, Providers and Bookers are "Members"). The platform eliminates the need to use booking agents or referrals from friends and family, or search for assignments and/or artists in or from unreliable sources. Bookers are able to browse the profiles of Providers on the Site, book and (in the future) pay Providers, and Providers are able to browse the Bookers who are seeking to identify artists for particular jobs or positions (the "Services").
Any person from the public can use our search engine to search for a Provider. Bookers are not publicly visible on the site. Profiles of Providers that are accessible to the public display information about the Provider, including location, experience, stats, and name that the Provider sets in their Profile. Bookers search Providers by specific criteria and can message them directly or book time immediately. Providers must accept booking terms at which point the Booker sends a binding contract which the Provider signs electronically thus confirming the booking date, times, location, and rate. Providers are required not to list contact information in their public profile. More detailed versions of the Provider’s profile are displayed to Members who book time with a Provider, including the Provider's contact information.

Registration as a Member is free, and requires registration and verification of an email address. Membership is reserved for a human being or a legal business entity (not a bot, script, or computer program). Membership cannot be transferred or assigned.

You may connect to our Services directly through the Website through logging in with your verified email address. We do not, at this time, support registration as a Member through other electronic platforms. You must be at least 18 years old to set up an Account. When you register, you will be asked to provide your name, a username and an email address. Of this, your first name and username will be publicly displayed. You also must post a profile picture of yourself. Setting up an account as a Member requires a valid email address for a person or legal entity.

Once a Member account is verified, then the Member may complete profile information, upload content, and attach a bank account to receive payments. The information you provide to Casting Coin is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please see our Privacy Policy for information concerning the collection and use of Personal Information from the Website.
Registering As A Provider
Signing up as a Provider is free and requires you to register as a Member. Potential providers must provide full name, profile photo, and three portfolio images. Acceptance as a Provider is decided upon by a jury of three Casting Coin executives.
Registering As A Booker
Signing up as a Booker is free and requires you to register as a Member. Bookers must provide a full business name and location. Acceptance as a Booker is decided upon by a jury of three Casting Coin executives.
Casting Coin is a platform and does not directly collect any fees. All fees are paid through a payment gateway system that holds the fees in escrow until the job is successfully complete. When job is successfully completed funds are distributed to the Provider with 25%-40% distributed to Casting Coin, Inc.
Casting Coin Commissions
Certain fees and commissions are applicable to transactions between Bookers and Providers. Casting Coin receives 25%-40% of the entire fee depending on the mode of booking. In manual booking, 20% is added onto the negotiated fee for the provider and 20% is deducted from the Providers fees. On platform booking (in the future), 15% is added onto the negotiated fee for Provider and 10% is deducted from the Provider’s fees. Providers are solely responsible for accounting for earnings received through the Casting Coin booking platform and Website. If you provide services through the Website, you are responsible for all applicable federal, state and local taxes.
Providers are responsible for setting and maintaining their availability, accurately representing their services, and setting fair market value prices for their time. Providers are responsible for fulfilling services booked. We do not make suggestions for the kinds of services or prices offered, and are not responsible for the nature and quality of the services provided. Members are responsible for being present for services booked. Bookers are solely responsible for verifying a Provider’s identity, qualifications, credentials, biographic information, licenses required and/or held, and any other information about the Provider. Casting Coin does independently verify the identity, qualifications, and any other information about a Provider, and may perform a background check when the Provider is accepted on the website. Casting Coin is not responsible for any act or omission of any Provider or any negative details about Provider that may not be caught during the background check.
Messaging on the Website
Providers, Bookers, and Casting Coin, Inc can message each other privately. Providers and Bookers can opt into receiving notifications for messages on the site or their mobile phone. Notifications will not be sent unless the individual users opt-into receiving them.
Dispute Resolution
We encourage Members to attempt to resolve any dispute that may have arisen by contacting one another and trying to resolve the dispute amicably. We ask Members to first make every good faith effort to resolve any and every dispute between them. Casting Coin is not an intermediary acting on behalf of a Booker or a Provider. In the event that a Provider does not fulfil their obligations or a situation arises where Provider and Booker cannot come to a resolution, Casting Coin may help act as a mediator, although Casting Coin is not required to do so.
Whether or not you request assistance from Casting Coin in resolving a dispute you have with another Member, Casting Coin has no liability to you for and you release Casting Coin from any claims, demands and damages arising out of disputes with Bookers or Providers.
If you have a dispute with Casting Coin relating to the Website or the Services, please contact us at support@castingcoin.com and we will attempt to resolve the dispute with you. If we cannot resolve our dispute, then the Terms of Use will govern any legal dispute involving our Services.
Termination or Cancellation of Your Account
You may terminate your Account with Casting Coin at any time, at your sole discretion, by emailing a demand to have your profile removed to support@castingcoin.com. Terminating your Account will not affect the availability of some of your Content that you posted through the Services prior to termination. Terminating your Account also does not terminate any existing obligations you have to Members; in other words, you will still be responsible for appearing for any appointment and/or fulfilling any transaction that you booked or entered into prior to terminating your Account.
We may terminate or suspend your Account and your access to the Services at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

Disputes and Governing Law
Use of the Site and these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event that any portion of these Terms and Conditions is deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless narrowed by construction, such portion of these Terms and Conditions shall, for purposes of such jurisdiction only, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable portion had been more narrowly constructed so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (or if such provision cannot be drawn narrowly enough, the tribunal making any such determination shall have the power to modify such portion of these Terms and Conditions to the extent necessary to make such portion of these Terms and Conditions enforceable in such jurisdiction, and such portion shall then be applicable in such modified form in such jurisdiction). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such portion of these Terms and Conditions would be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such portion, as to such jurisdiction only, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions set forth in these Terms and Conditions. No narrowed construction, modification or invalidation of any portion of the Terms and Conditions shall affect the construction, validity or enforceability of such portion in any other jurisdiction. No waiver by Casting Coin of any term or condition of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or of any other term or condition, and Casting Coin’s failure to assert any right or demand compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any such right or provision.
Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of you accessing and/or using the Site, you agree that (1) any and all disputes and causes of action you seek to bring arising out of or connected with the Site or the Material shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by final and binding arbitration in New York within one year from the date that the cause of action arose (or, if multiple cause of actions are involved, from the date that the first cause of action arose), with such arbitration conducted pursuant to the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); and (2) judgment upon such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Copies of the AAA Rules and forms can be located at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Unless prohibited by law, no arbitration brought pursuant hereto shall be joined to any other action or arbitration.
The rules governing arbitration are different than those in court. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages as a court. Except as may otherwise be provided in AAA’s Consumer Due Process Protocol that allows consumers to file certain claims in small claims court, you understand that by accepting these Terms and Conditions, you are giving up your right to a trial in court, either with or without a jury.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Any Claim must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding ("Class Action"). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, HOWEVER, THEY UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION.
Unless prohibited by law, under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain an award for, and by accessing and/or using the Site you waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential or any other indirect damages (including multiplied and/or increased damages and/or attorneys’ fees and court costs) for any dispute or cause of action that you may have that relates in whole or part to the Site and/or the Material. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms and Conditions or otherwise, your recovery with respect to any and all claims, judgments, and awards for which you are entitled shall, unless prohibited by law, be limited to your actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees and court costs.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms and Conditions, Casting Coin may at any time seek injunctive or other appropriate relief against you and/or against others, in any state or federal court in the state of New York and/or in any other court chosen by Casting Coin in the event that Casting Coin believes that there is a violation, or a threatened violation, of any of Casting Coin’s intellectual property rights and, in such case, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court.
