1.3 Non-Circumvention: To protect the integrity of the CastersApp ecosystem, the Creator is strictly prohibited from entering into any direct or indirect business relationship with any Brand met through the Service for twelve (12) months following the initial contact. Any attempt to "bypass" the platform fees results in immediate account termination and forfeiture of all pending balances.
