Terms & Conditions

Last updated:

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Actors Database mobile application (the “App”) and this website (the “Site”), provided by [Your Company/Publisher Name] ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the App or Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App or Site.

Replace bracketed placeholders (company, address, email, governing law) with your actual details before publishing.

1) Eligibility & Acceptance

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the App or Site. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the services with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

By using the App or Site, you affirm that you are legally capable of entering into these Terms. If you access the services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.

2) Accounts & Security

You may create an account via email or use anonymous authentication where supported. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account.

  • Provide accurate, current information and keep it updated.
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or suspected breach.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3) Subscriptions, Trials & Billing

Some features require a paid subscription. Prices, features, and tiers are described in the App or Site and may change over time. If you start a trial, we will inform you of its duration and any conversion details.

  • Billing & Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You can manage or cancel from your device settings or App Store account. Taxes may apply.
  • App Store Billing: Purchases through Apple’s App Store are billed and refunded by Apple under their terms. We do not control Apple’s billing or refunds.
  • Price Changes: We may change subscription prices with prior notice where required. Continued use after the change constitutes acceptance.
  • Cancellation: Cancel at any time to stop future charges; access continues until the end of the billing period.
  • Trials: If not canceled before the trial ends, your subscription converts to a paid plan.

4) User Content & License

You retain ownership of your content (e.g., actor profiles, headshots, documents, auditions, training, notes, availability, ratings). By uploading or creating content, you grant us a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, and provide the App and Site.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to upload and use the content and that it does not violate applicable laws or third‑party rights (including publicity, privacy, and intellectual property rights). You are solely responsible for your content.

We may remove or disable access to content that we believe violates these Terms or law.

5) Acceptable Use & Prohibited Conduct

When using the services, you agree not to:

  • Upload unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or infringing content.

  • Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the services or to breach security or authentication measures.
  • Access or use the services to build a competing product or copy features.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the services.
  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

6) Intellectual Property

The App, Site, and all associated content and technology are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, we reserve all rights. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except as permitted by law.

7) Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to our designated agent at [dmca@yourdomain.com] with: (i) your contact info; (ii) identification of the work claimed infringed; (iii) identification of the allegedly infringing material; (iv) a statement of good‑faith belief; (v) a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act; and (vi) your physical or electronic signature.

8) Third‑Party Services

We may integrate with third‑party services (e.g., Firebase, analytics, storage). Your use of third‑party services is subject to their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third‑party content, services, or websites.

9) Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information. By using the services, you agree to our privacy practices.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information; however, no system is completely secure. You are responsible for what you upload and for keeping account credentials confidential.

11) Disclaimers

THE APP AND SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR‑FREE, OR SECURE.

12) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13) Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us and our affiliates harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your content, your use of the services, or your violation of these Terms.

14) Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the services immediately if we believe you have violated these Terms, pose a security risk, or for other legitimate reasons. Upon termination, your right to use the services will cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity).

15) App Store Terms (Apple)

  • These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support services.
  • To the extent any warranty exists, we, not Apple, are responsible. Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession/use of it.
  • In the event of a third‑party IP claim, we (not Apple) are responsible for the defense and settlement.
  • You represent and warrant you are not in a country subject to U.S. embargo and are not on a U.S. government prohibited list.
  • You must comply with applicable third‑party terms when using the App (e.g., your wireless plan terms).
  • Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third‑party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [State/Province], [Country], without regard to conflict‑of‑laws principles, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

17) Dispute Resolution & Arbitration (U.S./Optional)

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and we waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This section does not apply where prohibited by law. If you prefer not to agree to arbitration, you may opt out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing [legal@yourdomain.com] with your account email and a statement that you opt out of arbitration.

18) Changes to the Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post changes on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may be communicated via the App or email where appropriate. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

19) Export & Sanctions

You may not use, export, or re‑export the services except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the services were obtained. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to U.S. embargo and are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
