4. USER REGISTRATION 

If you sign up, keep your account and password safe and your details up to date. We have different user types that use the Services and these terms apply to all users.

You may be required to register to use the Services. The detailed process for registration can be accessed at https://www.fastcast.com or through our mobile application. You agree to keep your sensitive personal information (including information such as password or multifactor authentication methods, any financial information, payment options) confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account. 

You agree that you will only register once and use a single user account at all times. 

The Services distinguish between different types of users to ensure the platform operates safely and effectively for all. The Services are accessible to two primary categories of users:

(a) Talent Users are individuals who register on the Services to create a profile, showcase their skills, attributes, and creative work, and to submit themselves for casting opportunities posted by Casting Professionals. Talent Users may include actors, performers, models, voice artists, dancers, and other creative professionals seeking placement in film, television, digital, commercial, or other media productions.

(b) Casting Professionals are individuals or entities who register on the Services to post casting opportunities and to discover, review, and engage Talent Users for their productions. Casting Professionals include but are not limited to casting directors, production companies, studios, advertising agencies, content creators, and their authorised representatives. You must not register as a Casting Professional if you are not acting in that capacity, and you must not misrepresent your professional credentials, organisation affiliation, or the nature of any opportunity you post.

The Company reserves the right to verify the credentials of any Casting Professional at any time and to suspend or terminate the account of any user found to have misrepresented their user type. The Company may, at its sole discretion, introduce additional user categories or sub-categories as the Services develop.

Each user type may be subject to different subscription plans, feature access, and obligations as notified by the Company from time to time.

Where your account is associated with your registered phone number, if you are an active subscriber, you may access your account using the same phone number across different ‘Mobile Operating Systems’ (the core software installed on a mobile device such as Apple iOS and Google Android) for the duration of your current subscription period.

You will immediately inform us of any unauthorised use of the account or any other security breach. We, our employees, agents, directors and officers will not be liable for any loss or direct or indirect damage arising from your failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions. You may be held liable for any losses incurred to us or any other user due to unauthorized use of their account by you. 

Notwithstanding anything that is stated in these Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy, the Company may, at its sole discretion and without assigning any reason whatsoever, de-register or deny registration or access to any person from using the Services or any part thereof.

5. SUBSCRIPTIONS 

Your subscription will automatically renew and charge your payment method until you cancel it. The billing period depends on your chosen plan. You may be able to access a trial if you’re a new user.

You can cancel your subscription anytime, and it will end after the current billing period. 

We may change the subscription fee and will inform you if we do.

Billing and Renewal 

Your subscription will continue and automatically renew unless cancelled or set to manually renew. For auto-renewing subscriptions, you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel the applicable order. The frequency of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription plan you choose when you subscribed to the Services. 

If you access your account using the same registered phone number across different mobile operating systems, you will need to manage your subscription directly through the relevant Apple or Google subscription where originally purchased from. Your subscription will continue to auto-renew until cancelled through those external account settings.

Changing Your Plan

Available subscription plans and their current pricing are presented on fastcast.com or at the point of purchase during registration. Plan names, durations, and prices are subject to change in accordance with the Fee Changes clause below.

You may change the frequency of your billing cycle at any time. If you transition to a longer billing period, the prorated value of your remaining current term will be applied as a credit toward the new cycle, and you will be charged the difference; this change takes effect immediately. If you transition to a shorter billing period, the change will take effect upon the expiration of your current term, and you will remain on your existing billing schedule until that date.

Discounts, Trials and Offers

We may offer discounts, paid trials, free trials, and offers which are subject to availability and supplied at our discretion and as available at that time, and in accordance with specific terms related to the respective discount, trial or offer. Discounts, trials and offers may not be available to all users. Discounts and offers are not retroactive.

Trials, including free trials, will be set for a defined period to customers upon registration and acceptance of the trial offer. Trials grant access to features as set out in the trial offer and for the defined period. Trials are available to new customers upon successful registration and commence immediately upon registration. At the end of the trial, unless canceled, subscriptions will automatically commence, charging the provided payment method as per the selected plan. Cancellation can be made anytime before the trial ends to avoid charges, which may result in the removal of access to features available in the trial. We reserve the right to modify or cancel the trial without prior notice but such changes will not affect ongoing trials.

We reserve the right to limit the number of discounts, trials and offers an individual can participate in, and reserve the right to remove, amend and/or refuse discounts, trials or offers at any time, without prior notice.

Cancellation 

You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account through the FastCast application, or through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings, depending on how your subscription was originally purchased. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term. If you have any questions or are unsatisfied with our Services, please email us at support@fastcast.com.

Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable due to the immediate access provided to the Services; however, upon cancellation, you will retain access until the end of your current paid billing period. Exceptions may be granted at the Company’s sole discretion or as required by the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and other applicable Indian laws, specifically in cases of duplicate charges caused by Company technical errors. First-time subscribers may request a refund within 48 hours of their initial charge, provided they have not applied to roles or accepted invitations; however, purchases made via the Apple App Store or Google Play must be managed directly through those platforms, as FastCast cannot process them. Refunds are not available for subscription renewal charges. While free trials remain unbilled, any subsequent upgrade to a paid subscription is non-refundable except as provided herein, and nothing in this clause limits or excludes your statutory rights under Indian consumer protection legislation.

Fee Changes 

We may, from time to time, make changes to the subscription fee and will communicate any price changes to you and will provide you with advanced written notice of any price increases via email to your registered email address. Price changes will not affect your current billing period and will take effect from your next renewal date. If you do not agree to the price changes, you may cancel your subscription before the changes take effect without penalty..

Indian law applies to these terms.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and defined following the laws of India. Talent Systems India Pvt Ltd and yourself irrevocably consent that, subject to the arbitration clause, the courts of Gujarat shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute which may arise in connection with these Terms and Conditions.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Before any formal legal action, both parties agree to try and work out any disputes informally. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, the dispute will be settled by arbitration and will only involve the parties in the dispute, not as part of a class action or representing others. Other disputes such as intellectual property rights, alleged illegal activity, or where urgent court action is needed, may follow a different process. 

Informal Negotiations 

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each a ‘Dispute’ and collectively, the ‘Disputes’) brought by either you or us (individually, a ‘Party’ and collectively, the ‘Parties’), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least ten (10) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. 

Binding Arbitration 

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (‘Arbitration Act’). The number of arbitrators shall be one (1) to be appointed by the Company. The seat, or legal place, and venue of the arbitration shall be Ahmedabad, India. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Terms and Conditions shall be substantive law of India. The parties are to share costs and the arbitrator’s costs equally. Each party will remain responsible for its own attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator will provide a detailed reasoned award of its decision, which will be part of the arbitration award. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award, or as required by law. This clause is severable from these Terms and Conditions and constitutes an independent binding contract between the parties and shall survive the termination or invalidation of these Terms and Conditions. 

Restrictions 

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilise class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. 

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration 

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
