The Terms and Conditions of Use (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") govern the contractual relationship between Stageapp Services GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Provider", "Operator", "Castapp") and you (hereinafter referred to as "Artist", "Agency Representative", "Casting Representative", "Jury Member"), in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract.
Any deviating terms and conditions of the user are rejected. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using any service provided by Stageapp Services GmbH. Castapp is a pure B2B platform and is aimed exclusively at trained and commercial artists and their legal representatives (in addition to the theatres issuing invitations to tender). Registration for end consumers (B2C) is expressly excluded. The operator may refuse registration if no commercial activity as an artist or representative is identifiable or ascertainable.Agents shall each set up their own user account on the platform and shall themselves become contractual partners of Stageapp Services GmbH for this purpose. The use of the platform functionalities (for one or more artists) shall take place in the name of the respective artist(s). This requires the general consent of the respective artist to be given via the platform.
Agents wishing to register on Castapp may not use email addresses from free email services such as Gmail, Hotmail or Web.de. Instead, representatives must have their own domain and use an email address that belongs to that domain (for example: name@domain.de). This requirement is to ensure the professionalism and trustworthiness of the representatives registered on our platform. Castapp reserves the right to refuse the registration of representatives who do not meet this requirement.Castapp reserves the right to delete accounts of representatives who violate the specified requirements. In such a case, the link between the affected representative and their previous clients will also be terminated. Castapp will inform the affected client of the dissolution of the link and the deletion of the representative account. The affected clients may then, if necessary, add a new representative who meets the requirements set out in these T&Cs.
If an artist has allowed a representative to use his/her profile, the representative may edit the profile (e.g. add further details or files) in the same way as the artist him/herself. All electronic messages addressed to the artist are sent directly to the representative - instead of to the artist - once the representative has been legitimised. The representative has the possibility via the platform to send applications for productions and to arrange appointments for auditions for the artists connected to him on the platform. However, it is not possible to conclude contracts solely via the functions of the platform.
Artists have the option at any time to withdraw the authorisation to use their profile from a representative. A corresponding function is available for this purpose in the profile area. The same applies to representatives if they wish to end the management of an artist profile. If necessary, both artists and representatives can also contact the operator directly.
Casting managers and jury members shall each set up their own user account on the platform and shall themselves become contractual partners of Stageapp Services GmbH for this purpose. You are not permitted to copy, store or disseminate data from the platform.
Contracts on Castapp can only be concluded in the German language.
The artist, representative or casting director must have reached the age of 18.

Thus, already during the development of the platform, care was taken to enable its operation with, among other things, a minimum of processing of personal data and a maximum of data security. Comprehensive information on data protection law can be found in our data protection regulations.
Casting accounts may require artists to consent to their own terms and conditions in order to participate in the alerts you post. We are no more responsible for these than we are for the handling of personal data of data subjects by casting managers (or other users) outside our platform.
Insofar as, in individual cases, the operator of casting accounts should contractually permit certain personal data of users collected via the platform to be used outside the platform, such permission is subject to the condition that these theatres have themselves obtained the consent of the respective data subjects to such data processing prior to any corresponding data processing.We undertake not to disclose any personal data to third parties unless you have given your prior consent.
We would like to point out that the transmission of data on the Internet (e.g. by e-mail) can have security gaps. Accordingly, an error-free and trouble-free protection of the data
of third parties cannot be completely guaranteed. In this respect, our liability is excluded.
Third parties are not entitled to use contact data for commercial activities, provided that the provider has given prior written consent to the persons concerned.
You have the right at any time to obtain from Castapp complete and free information about the data held about you.Further, Castapp has the right to obtain information about the data held about you.
Furthermore, there is a right to rectification/deletion of data/restriction of processing for the user.
Further details can be found in the privacy policy on the provider's website.
Our platform offers users the opportunity to present themselves (or in the case of agents: the artists contractually associated with them) to the theatres participating in the platform in a simple way and in a modern form. Ultimately, its main purpose is to enable the effective placement of artists with tendering theatres via the platform's integrated functions. Our platform is expressly NOT understood to be a hosting service for the respective content of the users, even if the storage of this content on our servers is a necessary prerequisite for the fulfilment of the functions of the platform. The user is therefore obliged - also in his own interest - to additionally store all user content entered by him on his own resources. Furthermore, the user must ensure that he/she keeps appointments and other data relevant to him/her which were communicated via the platform in additional calendars or other tools of his/her own. We do not accept any liability towards the user for any damage resulting from the loss or temporary unavailability of such data.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively to any disagreements and disputes arising on the occasion of this contract, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
The sole place of jurisdiction for orders placed by merchants, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law is the registered office of the supplier.
The contractual language is German.

If you breach these TOS and we do nothing about it, we will still be entitled to exercise our rights on any other occasion on which you breach these Terms of Sale.
