Terms and Conditions
1. User Agreement
These Terms and Conditions govern the use of services provided by Sarz Recording Studio, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 14198314, with its registered office located at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ ("we," "us," or "our"). These services are accessible through the websites sarzrecordingstudio.com and bookvoiceover.com (collectively referred to as the "Websites").
A "User", "you," or "your" refers to anyone who utilizes the services provided through the Websites (the "Services"), including individuals who register as Actors. Visitors can access the public areas of the Websites (which may include voice recordings of Actors) without an account, but full functionality requires an account. Public access users are prohibited from downloading, copying, or recording any content protected by intellectual property rights held by us or the User who posted it.
By creating an Actor account on one of the Websites, you confirm that you are over 18 years of age, or if under 18, that you are the parent or guardian of the Actor. In the case where the account is created by a guardian, references to "Actor" will include the guardian as appropriate.
Note: By creating an account, you agree to use the same login details across both Websites, and your demos may be displayed on both platforms to showcase your skills to potential clients.
