TERMS OF USE — Last updated October 20, 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Golden Vault Studio for goldenvaultstudio.com and the Golden Vault app ("the Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
THE SHORT VERSION
- You must be 18 or older. Parents and guardians can make a profile for a performer under 18.
- Your videos and photos stay yours. We use them only to consider you for our projects, as the Submission & Media Release says.
- Our scripts are for auditions only. Please don't post or share them.
- Be respectful, especially with scene partners.
- The community (feed, groups and messages) is for members 18 and older. Keep it professional, and report anything that crosses the line.
- You can delete your account any time, in the app or on the website.
1. WHO CAN USE THE SERVICE
You must be at least 18. A parent or legal guardian may create and manage a profile for a performer under 18 and is responsible for that profile. Performers aged 16 and 17 may send monologues and scenes only as described in the app; performers under 16 do not send videos. One account per person.
2. YOUR ACCOUNT
Give accurate information and keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens in your account. Tell us right away at support@goldenvaultstudio.com if you think someone else is using it.
3. YOUR MATERIALS
You keep ownership of everything you upload or record. When you send materials to us, you give Golden Vault Studio the limited permission described in the Submission & Media Release, which you sign before sending. You promise that you have the right to send what you send, and that everyone who appears in it has agreed.
4. OUR MATERIALS
Scripts, monologues, scenes, sides, music and other material in the Service belong to Golden Vault Studio or its licensors. You may use them only to prepare and record auditions in the Service. Don't copy, post, share, sell or adapt them.
5. TWO-PART SCENES
When you open a scene, performers in your age group can see it and record the other part. When you join a scene, the person who opened it can see the finished video. Each finished scene video belongs to both performers and may be sent to us by either of them. Be professional and respectful with every scene partner. We may close any scene or account that is used to harass anyone.
6. CONDUCT
Don't upload or record anything you don't have the rights to; anything sexual, hateful, violent or graphic; anything that impersonates someone else; anything that shows another person without their consent; or anything harmful or illegal. Don't try to break, overload, copy or get around the Service's security, watermarks or limits. We may remove content and suspend or close accounts that break these rules.
6A. THE COMMUNITY
The community feed, groups and messages are open only to members 18 and older; performer profiles managed by a parent or guardian can't join. You're responsible for what you post, comment and send. Everything in section 6 applies, and also:
- No harassment, bullying, threats, hate, or unwanted sexual messages or advances. No pressuring anyone into meeting, sharing photos or working for free.
- No spam, scams, or selling anything unrelated to film and TV work. Don't promote paid "auditions" or anything that asks members for money.
- Don't post or share our scripts, sides, story details or anything covered by a confidentiality agreement, and don't post photos or video from our readings, sets or events unless we say you may.
- Don't post someone else's private information, or photos of someone without their permission.
- Casting and crew calls you post are your own, not Golden Vault Studio's, unless they come from our team (marked with the gold check).
When you post, you give Golden Vault Studio permission to host and show it to the members who can see it, for as long as it's up. You keep ownership. You can edit or delete your posts, comments and messages at any time (messages can be edited for 15 minutes after you send them).
Our team may remove anything that breaks these rules, pause someone's posting and messaging, or remove someone from the community, with or without notice. Use Report on any post, comment, message, profile or group to tell us, and Block to stop someone reaching you. In an emergency, call 911 first.
7. NO PROMISE OF WORK
Creating a profile, sending videos, joining a scene or attending an event does not guarantee a role, a callback, a job, payment or a reply. Any paid work is covered by a separate written agreement.
8. NOTIFICATIONS AND EMAIL
We send emails and notifications about your account, your submissions, your scenes and your community activity. News emails and notifications are optional; you can turn them off at any time.
9. ENDING YOUR ACCOUNT
You can delete your account at any time from Settings, in the app or on the website. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk. Sections 4, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 continue after an account ends.
10. THE APP
We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Golden Vault app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by these terms and by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app is designed and built for Golden Vault Studio by BASS (Rixx City Studios, LLC).
11. APPLE
If you got the app from Apple's App Store:
- These terms are between you and Golden Vault Studio, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If anyone claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, Golden Vault Studio, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and dealing with that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
12. DISCLAIMERS
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise the Service will always be available or error-free, or that a recording, upload or notification will always succeed. Keep your own copies of anything important.
13. LIMIT OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent the law allows, Golden Vault Studio and BASS (Rixx City Studios, LLC) are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or opportunities. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
14. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
You agree to cover any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable attorney fees) that come from material you send or from your breaking these terms.
15. LAW AND DISPUTES
Nebraska law governs these terms. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Douglas County, Nebraska, except that either of us may use small claims court. Before filing anything, please email legal@goldenvaultstudio.com so we can try to fix it.
16. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS
If you believe something in the Service infringes your copyright, email legal@goldenvaultstudio.com with your contact details, a description of the work, where it appears in the Service, a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you own the copyright or may act for its owner, and your signature.
17. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Golden Vault Studio welcomes people of every background. Crew and staff positions are filled without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. Character descriptions in casting reflect the story as written.
18. CHANGES
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. The date at the top always shows the latest version. Using the Service after a change means you accept it.
