1. Introduction
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are applicable to the entire contents of the website under the domain name www.callback.ph ("the Website"), including any functionality, services offered on or through the Website, any products, software, or mobile applications provided by Callback, and any correspondence between Callback and you or any other users of the Website (individually referred to as a "User" and collectively referred to as "Users"). Before you dive into what Callback has to offer, it's important that you carefully read and understand these Terms, as they form a legally binding agreement between you and Callback regarding your use of the Website. Additionally, our Privacy Policy is an integral part of these Terms, providing details on how your information is collected, used, and protected when you visit the Website.
Callback, accessible at www.callback.ph, is operated within the Philippines and aims to be your trusted platform connecting actors, models, and other talents with casting opportunities. Whether you're looking to showcase your talent or you're a casting professional in search of the perfect candidate, Callback is designed to support your needs in a clear, user-friendly, and efficient manner.
By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or any future modifications, please do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Website. Your continued use of the Website signifies your acceptance of any changes to these Terms.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted on the Website. It is your responsibility to review the Terms regularly to ensure you are aware of the latest terms and conditions governing your use of the Website. The "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms will indicate when the latest changes were made.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in upholding these standards, ensuring Callback remains a secure and productive platform for all users.
