Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
• Minors (under 18) may only be represented on the Service by a parent or legal guardian who creates and controls the account, provides all content, and accepts these Terms on the minor’s behalf. The guardian is fully responsible for the minor’s profile, including any decision to make it public.
• You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law or if we have previously suspended your account.

2. Your account

• You sign in with a one-time email link. You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure and for all activity under your account.
• Provide accurate information and keep it current. Do not impersonate any person or create accounts for others without authorization.
• Notify us immediately through picturestudios.com/contact if you suspect unauthorized access.
• If we pre-filled your profile using information you previously submitted to Picture Studios, you are responsible for reviewing and correcting it.

3. Your content

“Your Content” means anything you upload or enter, including photos, headshots, video links, biographies, credits, measurements, social statistics, brand names and contact details.

• You own it. You keep all ownership rights you have in Your Content.
• License to us. You grant Picture Studios a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, resize, format, display and transmit Your Content solely to operate, secure and improve the Service — for example, to generate your documents, show your public profile when you choose to publish it, and provide AI coaching. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for residual backup copies retained for a limited period and content already shared by you with third parties.
• No marketing use without permission. We will not use your name, image or likeness in Picture Studios advertising or promotions without your separate, express consent.

4. Your promises about content

By submitting Your Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own it, or you have all rights, licenses and permissions needed to use it — including permission from the photographer (photo copyright usually belongs to the photographer, not the subject) and from every identifiable person shown.
• Any person depicted who is under 18 appears with the written consent of a parent or legal guardian.
• Your credits, training, union status, measurements, audience numbers and brand partnerships are truthful and not misleading.
• Your Content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, privacy or other right, and does not violate any law or contract (including exclusivity or non-disclosure agreements with brands or productions).

5. Prohibited content and conduct

You may not upload, publish or do any of the following:

• Nudity, sexually explicit or sexually suggestive content, and any sexualized content involving minors (which we report to law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children).
• Content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, violent, defamatory or discriminatory.
• Photos of other people used as your own, AI-generated or heavily altered images presented as unretouched, or deepfakes of real people.
• Private information of others (addresses, IDs, financial data) or your own sensitive data such as Social Security numbers.
• Spam, scams, pyramid schemes, solicitation of fees from other talent, or misleading claims of representation by Picture Studios.
• Malware, scraping, automated account creation, attempts to bypass security or access other users’ data, or reverse engineering the Service.
• Use of the Service to recruit talent for adult work, unpaid “exposure” schemes or any unlawful purpose.

6. Public profiles

• Profiles are private by default. A profile becomes visible at talent.picturestudios.com/yourname only after required fields are complete and you choose to publish it.
• Once public, anyone with the link can view, save, screenshot or share your profile. Switching back to private removes the page from our Service but cannot recall copies others have already made.
• Think carefully before publishing a phone number, personal email or location. We recommend sharing only a city or region.
• We may reserve, reclaim or change profile addresses (slugs) that are offensive, misleading, infringe a trademark or impersonate someone.

7. Moderation and removal

We are not obligated to review content, but we may — at our sole discretion and without notice — remove or hide any content, unpublish any profile, or suspend or terminate any account that we believe violates these Terms, creates legal risk, or harms users, Picture Studios or third parties. We are not liable for any such action or for failing to act.

To report content, contact us through picturestudios.com/contact with the profile link and a description of the issue.

8. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To report infringement, send our designated agent a notice through picturestudios.com/contact that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) the URL of the infringing material; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner.

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

9. Casting calls and opportunities

• Casting calls describe projects Picture Studios is casting or supporting. Listings may change, close or be cancelled at any time.
• Joining the Talent Network, building a profile or applying does not guarantee an audition, booking, representation, employment or payment. Picture Studios is not a talent agency or employment agency and does not act as your agent or manager.
• Any engagement will be governed by a separate written agreement. Never pay anyone who claims a fee is required to be considered for a Picture Studios casting.

10. AI coaching

Coaching tips and suggestions are general educational information, generated or curated to help you present yourself. They are not professional, legal, financial or career advice, may be inaccurate, and should be reviewed before you rely on them. You are responsible for anything you publish or send.

11. Training, headshots and paid services

The Service is free. Links to headshot sessions, classes or workshops lead to separate Picture Studios offerings that are governed by their own pricing, booking and refund terms. Prices and availability may change.

12. Third-party sites

Your profile may link to IMDb, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other sites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites, their content or their privacy practices.

13. Our property

The Service, its design, templates, software, text and the Picture Studios and Talent Network names and logos are owned by Picture Studios and protected by law. You may use documents generated for you for your own career purposes, but you may not copy, resell or build a competing product from our templates or Service.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy or uninterrupted availability. We do not verify user content or the identity, credentials or conduct of any user or third party, and we are not responsible for interactions between you and anyone you meet through the Service. Printed documents may vary in appearance by device and printer.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Picture Studios and its owners, employees and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost bookings, lost data or reputational harm, arising from or related to the Service or user content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Picture Studios and its owners, employees and contractors from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another person, including photographers and anyone depicted in your photos.

17. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time through picturestudios.com/contact. We may suspend or end your access at any time for any reason. Sections 3 (license survival terms), 4, 8 and 13–19 survive termination.

18. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us through picturestudios.com/contact; we will do the same. Any dispute not resolved within 60 days shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Guilford County, North Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class or representative action, to the extent permitted by law.

19. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms. If changes are material, we will notify you by email or in the Service before they take effect; continued use means you accept them. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, sale or reorganization.
