BackstageJobs.com and TheContactSheets.com Terms of Use.

Violation of these terms of use can be grounds for getting banned from the sites, at the discretion of the webmaster. They may be changed, at any time, without prior notification.

1. These sites are only for behind-the-scenes, non-performer jobs and employees in the live entertainment industry. Examples include: stage directors, designers, stagehands, lighting and sound programmers, projection operators, artistic directors, production managers, stage managers, box office staff, marketing and public relations staff, ushers, pit musicians, costumers and wardrobe staff, stage carpenters, theatre related equipment vendor jobs, company managers, etc... We do allow acting teacher jobs to be posted.

2. You may only post job listings on the BackstageJobs.com section. No please-hire-me type listings are allowed here.

3. TheContactSheets.com section is intended only for non-performer live entertainment freelancers posting a brief list of their skills, and contact information. It is not for posting entire resumes, or curriculum vitae. The goal is a fast read of what you can do, not your life story.

4. Contact information posted for any theatre, company, or person may only be used to contact that person or company for potential employment related reasons. You may not use information found on this site to send unrelated, unsolicited, or harassing e-mail, mail, faxes, or phone calls. (You can use it to apply for a job, or try to hire someone. That is it.)

5. Posting of false information of any kind is grounds for immediate removal of your listing.

.. 5.1 Any listing containing information or employment requirements that are known to be illegal may be removed without notice to the posting company.

.. 5.2 Absolutely no job listings will be allowed that contain (or from companies that claim to practice) discrimatory employment requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, restricting potential hiring based on applicants' sex, gender, sexual or romantic preference, skin color, race, marital status, or religious beliefs. If you believe your company or group's circumstance may allow for such discrimination (such as a religious organization) please contact the webmaster to see if your listing can be posted.

6. Malicious flagging or reporting listings for abuse (black header listings) is grounds for being banned from the site.

7. Listings may be flagged/reported for abuse for the following reasons: being spam, or otherwise violating the terms of use for the sites. Listings that are flagged are automatically reported to the webmaster, who will check the listing for problems. He/she may contact the user who flagged the listing, and/or the employer that posted it. If the webmaster fails to find fault with the listing, the flag will be removed, and the listing will appear normally on the site. If the webmaster does find fault with the listing, he/she will, depending on the problem: contact the employer to have them correct the listing, or delete the listing. The webmaster will attempt to keep all investigations to within the 24 hour period after the listing is flagged.

8. Listings may not be flagged simply based on a users previous bad experience with the person or company that posted the listing.

.. 8.1 BackstageJobs.com will not tolerate companies that are abusive to their employees. Companies that show a continuing pattern of problems are considered abusive. Problems include, but are not limited to: late payments, changing the nature of the job after hiring, violating contractural agreements, physical assult of employees without dismissal of offender, continuous verbal abuse of employees, or other such behavior or actions beyond what would reasonably be considered part of the stressful nature of this business. BackstageJobs.com keeps track of all complaints about companies that have posted on this site. While a single complaint about a company may not result in a listing's removal, a company that receives numerous complaints of a similar nature from multiple people over a period of time may be permanently banned from posting on BackstageJobs.com. Complaints that only seem to amount to "this place sucked" do not count toward any decision to ban an employer.

9. Listings that seem to attract repeated, or malicious flagging can be protected from further flags by the webmaster.

10. While every attempt will be made to deal with any issues as quickly as possible, as the sites are free of charge, outside employment of the webmaster or other staff must take priority.

11. All material, unless otherwise noted is Copyright 1997-2012 Patrick Hudson. You may not repost or republish ANY information found on these sites without permission. Copyright will be protected.

12. The name BackstageJobs, BackstageJobs.com, TheContactSheets, TheContactSheets.com and Traproom.com are Copyright 2001-2012, Patrick Hudson.

13. BackstageJobs.com and TheContactSheets.com programming and functions are Copyright 2007 Nick Keenan.

14. These terms of use are subject to change at any time. In addition, the webmaster may, at his discretion, impose additional rules not necessarily spelled out here, but in the spirit of the intent of the site(s), to ensure the quality of the listings posted and the trust of the users of the site(s).
