4. MODEL DATABASE AND PACKAGE ACCESS

Collective may, in its sole discretion, provide certain Users with access to model packages, talent portfolios, or other Database content via shared links, direct communications, or other means (“Authorized Access”).  By accessing any such content, you acknowledge and agree that:

5. USER SUBMISSIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The Site may permit you to submit information, including personal information, photographs, videos, and other materials (“User Submissions”), including through the model application portal at apply.collectivecasting.co.  By submitting any User Submission to or through the Site, you represent, warrant, and agree that:

Collective reserves the right, but has no obligation, to review, monitor, edit, remove, or refuse any User Submission, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, without notice or liability.

6. THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS AND LINKS

The Site may contain links to, integrations with, or content hosted on third-party platforms, including, without limitation, MediaSlide, Linktree, social media platforms, and other services (“Third-Party Platforms”).  These Third-Party Platforms are not under the control of Collective, and Collective is not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, terms of service, or security of any Third-Party Platform.  The inclusion of any link to a Third-Party Platform does not imply endorsement by Collective.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, your access to any Collective content hosted on or delivered through a Third-Party Platform - including, without limitation, model packages, roster information, and talent data accessible through MediaSlide - remains subject to these Terms in addition to the terms of the applicable Third-Party Platform.  In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the terms of a Third-Party Platform with respect to Collective content, these Terms shall control.

7. ANTI-SCRAPING AND DATABASE PROTECTION

Collective has invested substantial time, effort, and resources in the development, curation, and maintenance of the Database.  You acknowledge that the Database constitutes a protected compilation and trade secret of Collective, and you agree that you will not:

(a)  Use any automated means, including robots, spiders, crawlers, scrapers, data-mining tools, or any similar technology, to access, monitor, index, copy, or collect any content or data from the Site or the Database;

You acknowledge and agree that any breach of this Section 7 may cause immediate and irreparable harm to Collective for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that Collective shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond.

8. NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION

By accessing the Site or any content made available through the Site, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, hire, engage, contract with, or attempt to solicit, recruit, hire, engage, or contract with any model, talent, employee, contractor, or other individual whose identity, contact information, or professional profile was made known to you through the Site or through any interaction with Collective, except through Collective as the authorized representative.  This restriction applies for the duration of any business relationship with Collective and for a period of two (2) years following the conclusion of such business relationship.

You further agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, bypass, circumvent, or attempt to circumvent Collective in connection with any transaction, engagement, or business opportunity involving any model, talent, or client introduced to you by or through Collective.

Nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed to restrict any pre-existing relationship that you can demonstrate, with clear and convincing evidence, existed prior to your first interaction with Collective.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY

In the course of using the Site or engaging with Collective, you may receive or have access to information that is proprietary, confidential, or constitutes a trade secret of Collective (“Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information includes, without limitation: model rosters; talent databases; model contact information, measurements, rates, and professional histories; client lists; pricing structures; booking records; internal classifications and categorization systems; casting workflows and methodologies; business strategies; financial information; and any other information designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure.

11. DISCLAIMERS

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, SERVICES, AND FUNCTIONALITY MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COLLECTIVE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.  COLLECTIVE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

COLLECTIVE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MODEL PROFILES, PHOTOGRAPHS, AVAILABILITY, OR RATE INFORMATION.  ANY RELIANCE ON SUCH CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COLLECTIVE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF COLLECTIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COLLECTIVE’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO COLLECTIVE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

13. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Collective, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (d) your violation of any right of a third party, including any intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or contractual right; (e) any User Submission you provide; or (f) any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.  

This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Site.

14. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

You acknowledge that Collective’s damages resulting from a breach of Sections 3, 4, 7, 8, or 9 of these Terms would be difficult to calculate with precision.  Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, you agree that in the event of a breach of any such Section, Collective shall be entitled to recover liquidated damages equal to: (a) twenty percent (20%) of the total fees or compensation associated with any booking, engagement, or transaction that resulted from or was facilitated by the breach; plus (b) an additional twenty percent (20%) of the model’s compensation for such booking or engagement; plus (c) interest on the foregoing amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the date of the breach until the date of payment.

You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing liquidated damages represent a reasonable estimate of Collective’s anticipated losses and are not a penalty.  The payment of liquidated damages shall not limit Collective’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or to recover actual damages to the extent they exceed the liquidated damages amount.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW

a. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

b. Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact Collective in writing and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least thirty (30) days.  Informal dispute resolution efforts shall be directed to: legal@collective-mgmt.co.

c. Binding Arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute informally within the period specified above, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York.  The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitrator determines that a party’s claim or defense was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party.

d. Injunctive Relief Carve-Out

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 15 shall preclude either party from seeking temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, or any other form of equitable relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction at any time, including prior to or during arbitration, without first engaging in informal dispute resolution or arbitration.  This carve-out applies, without limitation, to claims involving misappropriation of trade secrets, infringement of intellectual property rights, unauthorized access to or use of the Database, violation of confidentiality obligations, and breach of the non-solicitation and non-circumvention provisions of these Terms.  You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, for any action seeking equitable relief.

e. Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST COLLECTIVE.

16. TERMINATION

Collective may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Site at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, and without liability.  Without limiting the foregoing, Collective may terminate or suspend your access immediately if Collective believes, in its sole discretion, that you have violated or acted inconsistently with these Terms.

The following provisions shall survive termination of these Terms: Sections 2 (Intellectual Property Ownership), 3 (Restrictions on Use), 4 (Model Database and Package Access), 7 (Anti-Scraping and Database Protection), 8 (Non-Solicitation and Non-Circumvention), 9 (Confidentiality), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14 (Liquidated Damages), 15 (Dispute Resolution), and this Section 16.

17. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS

Collective reserves the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time and in its sole discretion.  Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Terms on the Site, with a revised “Effective Date” and “Last Updated” date.  Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.  It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for updates.  If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site.

18. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of the provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.  If such modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be severed from these Terms without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

19. WAIVER

The failure of Collective to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Collective in writing.  Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective only if in writing and signed by Collective.

20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or agreements published by Collective on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Collective with respect to the subject matter hereof.  These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and Collective with respect to the Site.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall supersede or modify any separate written agreement between you and Collective (including, without limitation, any booking agreement, model management agreement, employment agreement, contractor agreement, or nondisclosure agreement).  In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any such separate written agreement, the terms of the separate written agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter thereof.

21. ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Collective.  Collective may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction.  These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

22. NOTICES

Any notices required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when: (a) delivered personally; (b) sent by confirmed email to the email address associated with your account or last provided to Collective; or (c) sent by nationally recognized overnight courier or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses set forth herein.  Notices to Collective should be sent to:
