Terms
In effect since
By accessing or using the Casta platform, including the mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.
Casta is a two-sided marketplace that connects talents (models, actors, and creative professionals) with companies (production houses, casting agencies, and event management firms) in Saudi Arabia and the GCC region. Casta facilitates discovery, booking, contract signing, attendance tracking, and related services. Casta is not a party to agreements between talents and companies; it provides the platform for such agreements.
Account types
The Service supports two primary account types: Talent accounts (for individual creatives) and Company accounts (for organisations posting casting calls). Each account type is subject to a verification process before full access is granted.
Accuracy
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated. Impersonation or false profiles are grounds for immediate account suspension.
Credentials
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- Post casting projects that are genuine, lawful, and accurately described.
- Honour commitments made to talents through the platform, including agreed compensation and project dates.
- Provide required business documentation (Commercial Registration, Zakat Certificate) for account verification.
- Not circumvent the platform to contact or hire talent sourced through Casta outside of the platform's agreement systems.
- Comply with Saudi labour law, data protection regulations, and applicable industry standards.
- Maintain an accurate and up-to-date profile, including photos, physical attributes, and skills.
- Attend booked projects on time and in the agreed capacity. Repeated no-shows may result in account suspension.
- Grant location access when using the GPS check-in feature for on-set timesheet verification.
- Not share account access or allow others to apply to projects on your behalf.
- Behave professionally in all interactions facilitated through the platform.
Free to use
Casta is free for both talents and companies to use. There are no subscription plans, posting fees, or search fees. Posting casting projects, browsing and searching talent, messaging, and managing your dashboard are all provided at no cost.

Companies pay a success fee of 5% of the agreed talent fee only when they accept a talent for a project. No fee is charged unless and until a talent is accepted. Talents pay nothing and receive 100% of their agreed fee.
Paying
The success fee is calculated and charged at the time a talent is accepted. You top up your Casta balance by bank transfer and upload the receipt. Our team confirms it. Success fees come out of that balance. Casta does not take card payments. Amounts are in SAR. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes.
Refunds
Success fees are charged per accepted talent and are generally non-refundable once a booking is confirmed, except where required by applicable law.
You retain ownership of content you upload to the platform (portfolio images, videos, project briefs). By uploading content, you grant Casta a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display that content within the Service for the purpose of operating the platform. Casta's brand, software, and platform design are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced without written permission.
- Posting false, misleading, or discriminatory casting calls.
- Harassing, threatening, or exploiting other users.
- Attempting to reverse-engineer, scrape, or copy the platform.
- Using the platform for any illegal purpose under Saudi law or applicable regulations.
- Creating multiple accounts to evade a suspension or circumvent the success fee.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Casta and its affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Casta's total liability for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to Casta in the three months preceding the claim.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Casta may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
