Introduction

You have reached NYCASTINGS.COM. NYCASTINGS.COM is operated by NYCastings, LLC. NYCastings.com provides this site and its features and services subject to certain conditions, described in these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms govern both your viewing of this site as a non-member, and your membership if you choose to sign up, and remain in effect for as long as you are a member or view this site. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of service when you visit the site, as any changes to the Terms of Service will be posted here. By reading, accessing, or otherwise using this site, or by becoming a member of the NYCASTINGS.COM website, you are signifying your agreement to these Terms, as follows:

Accessing Site

The minimum age to access this site or to become a member is eighteen. If you are under eighteen, you may not sign up or provide us with any personal information unless your use of the site is approved by a parent or guardian. If it is determined that you are under eighteen, your membership will be revoked immediately unless such permission is provided in writing or is confirmed electronically. Membership in this site is limited to residents of those jurisdictions where the services of NYCastings.com are legal. This paragraph shall apply to any and all methods of accessing our site, be it by computer, smart phone, text messaging, or otherwise.

Membership

Membership in NYCASTINGS.COM is optional. You may browse certain parts of the site without becoming a member. Most features of the site, however, are available only to members. All eligible individuals, as described above, may become members by providing us with the appropriate information and paying the specified fees to subscribe. Your membership will last for the length of the term for which you choose to subscribe, and will entitle you to access all features of the site during that period. NYCastings.com reserves the right to terminate your membership early if you violate these Terms in any fashion.

Refunds

Once paid, your membership fees are unconditionally non-refundable. If you terminate your membership before your subscription period has expired, or if NYCASTINGS.COM terminates your membership due to your violation of these Terms, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription period. Therefore, please carefully consider the length of time for which you wish to join before signing up for membership.
