Terms of Service

Last updated November 12, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Blue Chameleon Media, LLC ("we", "us") for using Noddle HQ at noddlehq.com. By creating an account or using Noddle HQ, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Noddle HQ.

Your account

You need to be 18 or older and give a valid email address. Actors under 18 can use Noddle HQ through a parent or legal guardian, who creates and manages the account and agrees to these terms on the actor's behalf. You're responsible for keeping access to that email secure, since it's how you log in, and for what happens in your account. One account is for one person.

Free plan and Pro

• Noddle HQ is free to use, with no time limit. The free plan includes 5 auto-fills a month in total, where a pasted listing or screenshot is read automatically to fill in the details (unused auto-fills don't carry over), and importing up to 25 past auditions. Insights on your history are part of Pro; on the free plan they're shown blurred.
• Pro costs $4.99 a month (plus any applicable tax), billed through Stripe in advance each month. Pro includes insights on your history, unlimited history imports, unlimited auto-fills (subject to a fair-use daily limit that keeps the service running for everyone), 40 show lookups a month, the line memorizer, and any Pro features we add later.
• Pro renews automatically. When you subscribe, you authorise us to charge your payment method each month at the price shown at checkout until you cancel. We'll show the price and renewal terms before you pay, and send a receipt by email.
• During early access, Pro may be offered at a lower introductory price for a set number of months (for example, $2.99 a month for your first 3 months). When the introductory period ends, Pro renews automatically at the regular price of $4.99 a month unless you cancel before then. The offer shown at checkout is the one that applies to you.
• You can cancel Pro online anytime from Account → Manage billing, or by emailing hello@noddlehq.com. Cancelling stops future charges; you keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for, then move to the free plan.
• Refunds: if you ask within 7 days of your first Pro charge, we'll refund it in full. Email hello@noddlehq.com from the address you log in with. After that, Pro payments aren't refundable, except where the law requires; when you cancel, you keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for.
• If we change the price, we'll tell you at least 30 days before your next charge at the new price, so you can cancel first if you want to.
• We may change what the free plan and Pro include, for example the number of auto-fills or show lookups. If a change takes something away from Pro, we'll tell you at least 30 days before it applies to you.
• If you leave Pro, nothing you've saved is deleted, and you can still see every audition, office and person. Pro insights go back to being shown blurred, and you keep using the free plan.

Your content

What you add (auditions, notes, people, notices, screenshots and sides) stays yours. You give us permission to store, copy and process it only to provide Noddle HQ to you, including sending it to the service providers named in our Privacy Policy, such as our AI reading provider. We don't use your content to advertise to you or anyone else.

Only add material you're allowed to use. Casting breakdowns may be covered by the terms of the site you got them from.

People you save. When you save casting directors, agents or other people, you're responsible for having a fair reason to keep that information and for keeping it to what you need for your work. Don't use Noddle HQ to harass anyone or to collect personal information you're not entitled to.

Sides and scripts. Sides are often confidential and owned by the production. Only add sides you've been given for your own audition, and don't use the line memorizer to share or keep them. Sides you add are read by our AI reading provider to pull out the lines, kept private to your account, and deleted automatically 7 days after you add them, or the day after the audition if that's later.

Fair use

Please don't misuse the service. That means no trying to access other people's accounts or our systems, no overloading or attacking the service, no scraping, copying or reselling Noddle HQ, no automated sign-ups, and no using it for anything unlawful. Automatic reading and show lookups are limited per account to keep costs fair.

Automatic reading and show lookups

Noddle HQ uses AI to read notices, screenshots and sides, to suggest details, and to look up public credits for shows. It can make mistakes, and credits found on the web can be incomplete or out of date. Always check dates, times, instructions and credits against the original before you rely on them.

Our service and brand

Noddle HQ, including its software, design, logo and name, belongs to Blue Chameleon Media, LLC and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use it while you have an account and follow these terms. That doesn't give you any ownership of Noddle HQ or the right to copy, change or resell it.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we're free to use them to improve Noddle HQ without owing you anything.

Copyright complaints

If you believe something on Noddle HQ infringes your copyright, email hello@noddlehq.com with a description of the work, where it appears, and your contact details, and we'll look into it promptly.

Other companies' names and links

Actors Access, Casting Networks, Backstage, Playbill, Google Calendar and iPhone Calendar are trademarks of their owners. Noddle HQ isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them. Links to other websites, including links you save, are provided for your convenience; we aren't responsible for those sites.

The service "as is"

We work hard to keep Noddle HQ running and your information safe, but we provide it "as is" and "as available", without guarantees that it will always be available, accurate or error-free. Keep your own copy of anything important, such as audition times. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as a missed audition or lost work, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.

Your responsibility to us

To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses if a claim is brought against us because of content you added or your breaking these terms, for example adding sides or material you didn't have the right to use.

Ending your account

You can stop using Noddle HQ anytime, and delete your account yourself under Account → Delete my account, or ask us to at hello@noddlehq.com. Deleting your account cancels any Pro subscription. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we'll tell you why. If we ever shut Noddle HQ down, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice and refund the unused part of any Pro month you've already paid for.

Disputes

If you have a problem with Noddle HQ, please email us first at hello@noddlehq.com; most things can be sorted out quickly. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. Either of us can also bring a claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Noddle HQ changes. We'll tell you by email or in the app before meaningful changes take effect, and the date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If you keep using Noddle HQ after a change takes effect, the new terms apply; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.

The rest of the legal bits

These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Noddle HQ. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later. You can't transfer your account or these terms to someone else; we may transfer them if Noddle HQ is sold or reorganised, and we'll tell you if that happens.
