FOR TALENTS AND CLIENTS LOOKING FOR TALENTS (CLIENTS):
You are responsible for conducting your own
investigation regarding any and all claims made by prospective talents or
clients. You assume all liability for use of any information you find in any necasting
publication. The operators of necasting assume no responsibility and in no way
warrant the accuracy of the information contained in any of the pages or emails
published in relation with necasting. Not all necasting talent portfolios are
created directly by the talent, some are acting as agents or managers for the
talents.
Talents and Clients should be aware that each
Talent or Client sets its own contract and payment policies - necasting
recommends that each party asks for and receives a written notice of the
working methodology of the other party. Necasting is not responsible for the
refund or payment of any work.
None of the information contained in any necasting
web page is confirmed or warranted by any party. Confirmation of information
published herein is the sole responsibility of the Talent or Client.
Qualification of all Talents and Clients is the sole responsibility of each
party.
Service Guarantee
If the operators of necasting are unable to
provide the promised level of service for any reason, including, but not
limited to service outages, war, acts of God or negligence, neither necasting
nor its owners will not be held liable for any costs. Necasting does not
guarantee that the necasting web site will be available 100% of the time.
Necasting is not a licensed agent in any
location.
Membership Cancellation Policy
Necasting Premium Memberships run on an annual
basis. Due to the fact that the vast majority of the work involved in promoting
talents on the Internet occurs in the first few days, necasting is unable to
offer a refund on memberships.
Local
Laws and Regulations
Talents and Clients are responsible for
investigating and adhering to all local regulations including, but not limited
to, permits, licenses, taxes, and safety compliance.
Spamming Policy
Note: Necasting does not participate in or
tolerate the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (SPAM) - necasting
reserves the right to cancel (without refund) any member that mentions necasting
or any of its associated websites, URLs, or any associated necasting email
address in any SPAM e-mail message or Usenet posting. Necasting is the sole
judge in determining what constitutes SPAM.
Quality Control
It is the goal of necasting to reduce the
volume of unsolicited information delivered via necasting. To that end, leads
and answers may be monitored and filtered by necasting prior to delivery to
Talents and Clients. Leads and Answers may be read by necasting staff members.
Despite necasting filtering efforts, it is likely that some unsolicited leads
and answers will be delivered anyway. It is also likely that some solicited
leads and answers may not be delivered as a result of necasting filtering
efforts.
Leads and answers are delivered via Internet
email and are not to be considered private. Internet e-mail delivery is not
100% reliable and necasting cannot be held responsible for undelivered messages
or for missed income as a result of undelivered messages. Necasting, at its own
discretion, may supply to Clients and Talents the direct contact information of
any user of the necasting service.
Membership Policies
Necasting reserves the right to reject or edit
any information submitted at our sole discretion. Once material has been
submitted, edited and posted on the necasting web site, it becomes the property
of necasting and its affiliated sites and may not be copied from the necasting
web site without written permission.
Acceptable Content
Clients and Talents are expected to follow the
use only acceptable content. Clients and Talents using content which is not
acceptable under necasting sole discretion are subject to cancellation at the
sole discretion of necasting.
