Important Notices:

By accessing, entering, using, viewing or visiting any of the Breakdown Services Websites,

you are “opting in” and agreeing to be bound by the following Terms of Use!

All Users are obliged to hold and use Talent Submissions and Breakdowns in strict trust and confidence and only for the purposes authorized in the Terms of Use. These materials may not be shared, copied, posted, transmitted, broadcast, exhibited or otherwise used for any other purpose. (See Section 6.5(g) below)

By way of example only, none of the Talent Submissions and/or the Breakdowns may be copied, shared, and/or posted at any social networking or content-sharing website of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, Twitter, etc. (See Section 5.5(h) below)

The following Terms of Use (including the GDPR Compliance Statement, the General Privacy Policy, the Children’s Online Privacy Policy in Compliance with COPPA, and the Online Privacy Protection Policy for California Residents) (collectively, “TOU”) constitute a binding contract between Breakdown Services, Ltd., a California corporation (“Breakdown”), 2140 Cotner Avenue, Third Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90025, and each user (“User”) who accesses, enters, uses, views or visits any of the websites operated by or for Breakdown (collectively, “Website(s)”). Whenever the term “access,” “accesses” or “accessing” appears in the TOU, it refers to and includes accessing, entering, using, viewing and/or visiting the Website(s).

1. Agreement to Terms. By clicking on “I AGREE,” and/or by accessing the Website(s), the User confirms that he or she has read, understands, “opts in” and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth in the TOU, which shall constitute a binding contract between the User and Breakdown. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, clicking on “I AGREE” shall be deemed to be the electronic signature of the User. Whether or not the foregoing is a valid electronic signature, however, the User acknowledges and agrees that his, her or its agreement to be bound by the TOU is a material condition on which Breakdown is relying in granting access to the Website(s), and the User shall be estopped from denying the existence and enforceability of the contract created between Breakdown and the User by clicking on I AGREE. The User’s right to access the Website(s) is conditioned on the User’s agreement to be bound by the TOU. If the User does not wish to be bound by the TOU, the User must exit the Website(s) immediately.

2. Changes in the TOU. Breakdown reserves the right to amend and modify the TOU in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time. The User is invited to monitor the TOU as posted at the Website(s) to determine the current terms and conditions of the TOU as they may be changed from time to time. Breakdown will use its best efforts to notify Users if and when the TOU has been changed and to secure the User’s consent to such changes by clicking on “I AGREE.” By accessing the Website(s) after any such notification, and by clicking on “I AGREE” at any time after any such notification, the User ratifies, approves and agrees to be bound by any such changes. If the User does not agree to be bound by the current TOU, the User must exit the Website(s) and cease all use of its content, resources and facilities. The TOU was last revised on September 25, 2018.

3. The Website(s). The Website(s), as the term is used in the TOU, includes but is not limited to: www.breakdownexpress.com.

4. Responsibility for Access to the Website(s). The User is solely and strictly responsible for ensuring that his, her or its account information (including but not limited to his, her or its user name and password), equipment, facilities and premises are secure and accessible only to individuals who are authorized by the User to access the Website(s). The User is strictly liable and responsible for all activity and conduct by individuals who access the Website(s) by means of the foregoing, and the User’s indemnity obligations as set forth in Section 16 below shall apply to any such activity and conduct. For that reason, the User is cautioned and encouraged to install, maintain and supervise appropriate security restrictions to control access to the Website(s).

5. Special Terms Applicable to Categories of Users. Breakdown offers a variety of services to the entertainment industry, all of which are based on the maintenance of a database of informational materials that are made available to authorized users according to these Terms of Use, including but not limited to resources and facilities that permit:

(a) Talent and their authorized talent representatives to upload resumes, photographs, audio and audiovisual clips, artwork, text, and other information and materials (collectively, “Talent Submissions”) to the Website(s), and

(b) Casting directors, advertising agencies, producers, directors and other potential employers of actors to view the Talent Submissions, and

Various terms and conditions for the access or use of these resources and facilities, such as functions, descriptions, instructions and other particulars regarding these resources and facilities, are posted at the Website(s) and are incorporated by reference in the TOU. The following terms and conditions apply to specific categories of Users.

5.1 Talent Representatives. Users who are talent representatives, and who upload Talent Submissions to the Website(s), hereby represent and warrant to Breakdown as follows: (a) they are fully authorized to do so by their clients pursuant to signed written agreements between the talent representative and the client; (b) the Talent Submissions are accurate, correct, and complete as to all particulars stated therein, (c) the contents of Talent Submissions may be used by Breakdown and/or its clients as contemplated in the TOU without the knowledge, consent, or approval of any third party, whether under the Fair Use Doctrine or otherwise, and such use will not expose Breakdown and/or its clients to any liability of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to claims based on breach, infringement, impairment, and/or interference with rights under contract, copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, and/or defamation; and (d) they are duly licensed as talent agents or talent representatives, or are otherwise authorized to post Talent Submissions, under the applicable laws of the place where they do business. Breakdown does not make any representations, warranties, indemnities or guarantees that use of the Website(s) or the other products and services of Breakdown will result in bona fide offers of employment or employment. By way of further example, only talent agents and/or talent representatives, and not managers, are eligible to post Talent Submission to the database maintained by Breakdown; however, individuals who are both licensed talent agents or talent representatives and managers may do so. Under no circumstances shall Breakdown be deemed to have encouraged and/or induced any User to post Talent Submissions to the database maintained by Breakdown merely by making such database available for use; rather, any such postings shall be the sole decision of the User alone acting at the User’s own initiative in strict compliance with the TOU and all applicable laws.

5.2 Casting Directors, Producers, Directors, Etc. Users who are casting directors and/or producers, directors, and other Users who make casting decisions hereby represent and warrant to Breakdown that they are bona fide prospective employers of actors in the production of entertainment and/or advertising, and/or they are engaged in the business of, among other things, recommending the employment of actors to others who are engaged in the production of entertainment and/or advertising, and acknowledge and agree that access to Talent Submissions is granted for such purposes only and for no other purpose whatsoever. By way of example only, and without limiting the foregoing, the contents and facilities of Breakdown shall not be used to offer revenue-generating products and services sold by the Users who are casting directors to actors or their talent representatives and/or to extend social or personal contacts and communications to actors or their talent representatives.

5.3 Parental Consent to Provide Information About Minors. Users who are talent representatives hereby acknowledge and agree that it is the sole responsibility of the User to secure all legally necessary consents and permissions before providing Breakdown with information about their clients who are under the age of 18 for all of the uses contemplated in the TOU, and hereby expressly represent and warrant to Breakdown that they have done so. Each such User expressly acknowledges and agrees that Breakdown is entitled to and will rely on the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements of the User in accepting and using Talent Submissions about minor actors, and that Breakdown shall have the right to terminate the TOU if the User is in breach or default of the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements.

GDPR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the TOU, Breakdown complies with the applicable provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union regarding personal data collected from Users, including individuals who reside in the European Union.

Breakdown is the data controller of the personal data collected from Users.

Personal data is collected and processed only with the unambiguous consent by the data subject as evidenced by clicking on the I AGREE button on the registration page of the Website(s). As noted in the Privacy Policy above, Breakdown uses “cookies” in the operation of its Website(s), and by clicking on the I AGREE button, Users are consenting to the placement and use of cookies.

Users have the right, at any time, to: (a) withdraw their consent to the collection and processing of personal data; (b) access the personal data and rectify, erase or block the data, (c) receive the personal data that Breakdown has collected and to transmit the personal data to another data controller, and/or(c) object to the processing of their personal data without express consent. Users may exercise these rights by contacting Gary Marsh, Data Protection Officer, at (310) 276-9166.

By clicking on the I AGREE button, however, Users are also acknowledging and agreeing that (a) Breakdown is authorized to transfer their personal data outside the European Union, and (b) because Breakdown is explicitly authorized to make the personal data of some Users to third parties, Breakdown will be able to rectify, erase or block the data that remains under its direct control but may not be able to do the same for personal data that has already been made available to third parties with the consent of the User. By way of example only, once the personal data of a User who is an actor is submitting to a User who is a casting director, Breakdown is not able to withdraw or change the personal data that has been submitted to the casting director.

Breakdown collects and processes personal data only for the specified purposes that are explicitly set forth in the TOU and only to the extent that the collection and processing of personal data is adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to these purposes.

Breakdown uses its best efforts to assure that personal data is accurate when collected and updated when and where necessary to meet that objective.

Breakdown takes every reasonable step to correct or delete personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.

Personal data collected by Breakdown is kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is further processed, and is deleted if and when it is no longer necessary for these purposes.
