1. Operator and scope

Sonic Gods Studios LLC ("Producer," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Model x Creator Casting Portal at modelcreatorcasting.com and its associated Base44 application, including the questionnaire, BeautyCon registration and auditions, and callback uploads (the "Portal"). Our mailing address is 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505. Contact casting@sonicgods.media.

These Terms govern use of the Portal. The Application & Submission Release and Eligibility & Application Rules govern new submissions when you expressly accept them. The Privacy Policy and Notice at Collection explain our information practices. Read each document before submitting. A reference to a platform, network, agency, event, or brand does not make it the operator of this Portal or a party to your agreement.

2. No guaranteed place; Producer’s continuing casting discretion

The Portal receives applications for the unscripted series currently known as Model x Creator and related casting administration. There is no application fee charged through this Portal.

Applying, auditioning, uploading audition materials, attending an interview or callback, receiving a positive response, meeting eligibility requirements, or advancing through casting does not guarantee a place in Model x Creator, selection as a participant or contestant, filming, inclusion in an episode, employment, representation, a prize, compensation, or broadcast or distribution of the programme.

All eligibility, shortlisting, callbacks, selection, continued consideration, alternate and replacement decisions remain at Producer’s sole and continuing discretion at every stage of casting and selection, subject to applicable law and any separately signed written agreement. Producer may decline an application, end consideration, withdraw a provisional invitation, choose alternates, change or cancel casting or production plans, and decide not to produce, distribute or use any materials. Casting decisions are final within the production’s casting process; this does not limit nonwaivable legal rights.

A confirmation email, audition or callback invitation, verbal discussion, application status, or provisional selection does not itself create a guaranteed place or participation commitment. Only an agreement signed by Producer’s authorized representative can establish a written participation commitment, subject to its terms and applicable law. Producer is not required to explain individual casting decisions except where legally required.

Any commitment for you to participate in new filming as a contestant, employment or agency relationship, and any promised fee, prize or travel remain subject to a separately signed written agreement and applicable law. The audition-material license granted in the Application & Submission Release is independent of selection and does not require another agreement before the licensed Materials may be used.

3. Eligibility and accurate information

You must be at least 18 and at least the legal age of majority where you live, apply for yourself, and provide accurate information. Follow the Eligibility & Application Rules and any requirements expressly stated on the relevant form. Do not submit information about a child. Update material errors by contacting the casting team.

Do not provide government identification numbers, financial account details, passwords, medical records, or private information about other people. Do not send trade secrets, unreleased business plans, original show formats, scripts, or other unsolicited creative proposals.

4. Submission rights and permitted use

You retain ownership of your original audition photographs, videos, audio, and written casting or story responses. By expressly accepting the Application & Submission Release for a submission, you grant Sonic Gods Studios LLC and its authorized production partners, broadcasters, distributors, platforms, licensees, sublicensees, successors and assigns the perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable permission described there to use those materials and their included name, likeness, voice, performance and biographical information in Model x Creator and its related publicity, advertising and promotion.

The permission includes editing, adapting, excerpting, combining, publicly displaying, broadcasting, streaming, distributing and otherwise exploiting the materials, in whole or in part, in any media now known or later developed, for an unlimited number of uses in perpetuity. No additional permission, approval, payment or credit is required for those licensed uses, except to the extent a separate written agreement or nonwaivable law requires otherwise. The permission applies whether or not you are selected or appear as a contestant.

The license covers audition content, not your private contact details, identification numbers, credentials, or internal administrative records. It does not authorize unrelated product endorsements or uses outside the release. Rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be waived remain applicable. Earlier submissions remain subject to the permissions actually obtained for them; posting this revision does not broaden those permissions or record a new acceptance.

5. Casting communications and event registration

You permit the casting team to use the contact details you supply to communicate about this application, callbacks, scheduling, technical issues, and related administration. This is not consent to unrelated marketing or automated promotional calls or texts. Keep your contact details current and check your spam folder.

BeautyCon registration is subject to the event organizer’s and venue’s rules, capacity, security, ticketing, and lawful access requirements. Registration is not a guarantee of admission, a casting slot, selection, travel reimbursement, or an event taking place. Any separate organizer or venue terms apply only when properly presented to you.

6. Acceptable use and security

Use the Portal only for lawful casting and registration. Do not impersonate anyone, submit malicious or infringing material, scrape personal information, send spam, bypass access controls, access another applicant’s records, or interfere with the service. Protect private callback links and upload sessions; they are intended for you.

We may restrict misuse, investigate security issues, and preserve relevant records as permitted by law. Please report suspected unauthorized access to the contact address above.

7. Services, intellectual property, and availability

Portal branding, software, design, and other site materials belong to Producer or their respective owners. You may use the Portal and save or print these legal documents for your records. No trademark or other license is granted beyond use of the Portal as intended.

Hosting, file storage, and email depend on service providers. Outages or delivery failures can occur. Keep copies of your materials. The Portal is provided as available and, to the extent permitted by law, without warranties of uninterrupted operation or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee absolute security.

8. Liability and rights preserved

To the extent permitted by law, Producer is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from Portal use or a casting decision. Nothing in these documents excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where applicable, statutory privacy or security duties, or other nonwaivable rights.

Acknowledging the Privacy Policy is not a waiver of privacy rights. These Terms do not require arbitration, waive California Civil Code section 1542, impose a class-action waiver, or release future production-related injury claims. Any later agreement must be separately presented and accepted.

9. California law and Los Angeles jurisdiction

California law governs these Terms and the Application & Submission Release, without applying conflict-of-law rules. To the extent permitted by law, disputes concerning the Portal or those agreements must be brought in the state courts in Los Angeles County, California, or the federal courts serving Los Angeles County with jurisdiction over the dispute. Mandatory laws and any legally required alternative forum remain applicable.

You may contact us to try to resolve a concern, but doing so is not a mandatory prerequisite to exercising a legal right. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

10. Electronic acceptance, changes, and contact

On a submission form, checking the required agreement boxes, typing your full name, and submitting records your electronic acceptance of the identified versions. You may open, save, or print the documents before agreeing. A device and browser able to display these pages are needed. If you cannot use electronic acceptance or need an accessible format, contact us before submitting.

We record the document version, your typed name, the affirmations, the submission route, and the server time of receipt. Revised documents apply to future submissions when presented and accepted; merely visiting the Portal does not record agreement to a submission release. Material changes will receive additional notice or consent when required by law.

Questions or alternative-format requests: casting@sonicgods.media, or Sonic Gods Studios LLC, Attn: Casting / Privacy, 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505.

1. Your application

I am applying for myself for Model x Creator through Sonic Gods Studios LLC (Producer). I have read the Casting Terms of Service and Eligibility & Application Rules.

I understand that applying, auditioning, submitting Materials, attending an interview or callback, receiving a positive response or meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection, a place in the show, filming, inclusion in an episode, compensation, representation or employment. Producer retains sole and continuing discretion over casting, callbacks, selection, continued consideration, alternates and replacements at every stage of casting and selection, subject to applicable law and any separately signed written agreement.

Producer may decline or discontinue my consideration, withdraw a provisional invitation, change or cancel casting or production plans, and decide not to produce or use the programme or my Materials. Casting decisions are final within the production’s casting process, without limiting nonwaivable legal rights. My audition-material license below applies whether or not I am selected and does not obligate Producer to cast me or use my Materials.

2. Accuracy and rights in my materials

My answers are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I own, or have the necessary rights and permissions in, the audition photographs, videos, audio, written casting or story responses and other audition content I provide with a submission for which I expressly accept this release (Materials). I have the necessary permissions from people depicted or heard and owners of third-party work to grant the license below, including its programme and promotional uses. I will not include minors, unlicensed music, private third-party information, or material I am contractually prohibited from disclosing. Materials do not include my private contact details, government identifiers, passwords, or Producer’s internal administrative records.

I retain ownership of my original Materials. Submitting is not an assignment of my copyright or ownership of my social accounts, and does not appoint Producer as my talent agent or representative.

3. Perpetual audition-material and appearance license

I grant Sonic Gods Studios LLC (Producer), and the parties it authorizes for the uses below, including its production partners, broadcasters, distributors, streaming platforms, licensees, sublicensees, successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sublicensable license to use all or any part of my Materials and my name, image, likeness, voice, performance and biographical information included in them.

This license permits Producer and those authorized parties to receive, store, reproduce, copy, edit, adapt, translate, dub, subtitle, excerpt, combine with other content, create derivative versions of, publicly perform, publicly display, exhibit, publish, broadcast, stream, transmit, distribute and otherwise exploit the Materials in and in connection with Model x Creator, including its episodes, versions, clips, trailers, recaps and compilations, and advertising, publicity and promotion for the programme. It applies in all media and formats now known or later developed, throughout the world, for an unlimited number of uses in perpetuity.

I give this permission now. For these licensed uses, no additional notice, consent, permission, inspection, approval, payment, royalty, compensation or credit to me is required, except to the extent required by a separate written agreement or nonwaivable law. Producer may edit the Materials and has no obligation to use them, select me, or include me as a contestant. The license applies whether or not I am selected, and survives a decision not to cast me or my withdrawal from casting.

This permission authorizes public and commercial programme use and promotion of the Materials, rather than only internal casting review. I should not submit audition content I do not want potentially used publicly in this way. Producer may also process the Materials for casting, callback and event administration, technical support, security and lawful recordkeeping.

Withdrawing from consideration does not itself revoke this license or require the recall of a completed, licensed or distributed programme or promotion. This provision does not waive statutory privacy, deletion, security or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived, and does not authorize uses prohibited by applicable law. Unrelated product endorsements and uses outside the programme and its related promotion are not authorized by this release.

4. Further auditions and production participation

If I advance, Producer may request interviews, eligibility verification, availability confirmations, and separate agreements. This application does not authorize a credit report, background check, medical examination, psychological evaluation, or ongoing recording of me. Any such step requires the disclosures and authorizations required by law, separately presented before that step.

The license above already authorizes the specified uses of the Materials and their included name, likeness and voice without another permission request. Participation in new filming, ongoing recording, employment, prizes or confidentiality obligations may require separately presented agreements. This submission does not authorize background reports, medical or psychological examinations, or acceptance of unseen future documents.

5. Privacy, electronic signature, and governing terms

I acknowledge that I have received the Privacy Policy and Notice at Collection. My application and this acceptance record will be handled as described there. A privacy acknowledgment does not waive my statutory rights or consent to unrelated marketing.

I intend my typed full name, checked affirmations, and submission to be my electronic signature on this release and the Casting Terms of Service. I may save or print a copy. California law and the Los Angeles County court provisions in the Casting Terms of Service apply. No arbitration requirement or blanket release of unknown claims is created by this document.

This version applies only to submissions for which I expressly accept it. It does not change the rights attached to an earlier submission unless I separately agree.

1. Adult applicants applying for themselves

You must be at least 18 and at least the age of majority where you live at the time you submit. This Portal does not accept applications from minors or applications by a parent on behalf of a minor. Apply only for yourself. Do not upload another person’s audition or personal details as a nomination.

2. Participation eligibility and availability

Answer questions about United States work eligibility, travel, Los Angeles availability, filming, and self-recording accurately. If selected, you must be legally authorized for the activities required of you and able to meet the dates and requirements in a separate participation agreement. The questionnaire’s production dates are planning estimates and may change; they are not a booking.

BeautyCon access registration additionally asks you to confirm United States citizenship or lawful permanent residency. That existing event-form requirement does not replace the main questionnaire’s separate work-eligibility question. Do not send identity documents through the public forms.

Disclose agency representation, endorsement commitments, or other obligations when the form asks. Do not violate another contract to apply. Ask the casting team if you are unsure how an obligation affects participation.

3. Honest answers and permitted material

Provide accurate, current answers and contact details. You must have the necessary rights and permissions in everything you submit. Follow the file, duration, and other instructions on the form. Do not include explicit, unlawful, infringing, threatening, or malicious content, private third-party data, or unsolicited confidential business proposals.

Do not provide health records, government identifiers, account credentials, or financial account information. You may choose what personal experiences to describe; avoid sensitive details not needed to answer a question. Contact us if you need an accessible way to apply.

4. Casting process and additional requirements

Applying, auditioning, uploading audition materials, attending an interview or callback, receiving a positive response, meeting eligibility requirements, or advancing through casting does not guarantee a place in Model x Creator, selection as a participant or contestant, filming, inclusion in an episode, employment, representation, a prize, compensation, or broadcast or distribution of the programme. There is no fee charged through this Portal to apply.

All eligibility, shortlisting, callbacks, selection, continued consideration, alternate and replacement decisions remain at Producer’s sole and continuing discretion at every stage of casting and selection, subject to applicable law and any separately signed written agreement. Producer may decline an application, end consideration, withdraw a provisional invitation, choose alternates, change or cancel casting or production plans, and decide not to produce, distribute or use any materials. Casting decisions are final within the production’s casting process; this does not limit nonwaivable legal rights.

Advancing applicants may be asked for additional availability, verification, interviews, and separately presented participation agreements. The Application & Submission Release already grants the specified perpetual programme and promotional uses of submitted audition Materials without further permission. New filming, background checks, medical evaluations and other future obligations require a separate appropriate process and any legally required authorizations.

The casting team may change prospective requirements or production plans, provide any required notice, and request fresh agreement when needed. New rules are not treated as having been accepted by earlier applicants.

A confirmation email, audition or callback invitation, verbal discussion, application status, or provisional selection does not itself create a guaranteed place or participation commitment. Only an agreement signed by Producer’s authorized representative can establish a written participation commitment, subject to its terms and applicable law. Producer is not required to explain individual casting decisions except where legally required.

5. Contact and correction

For an application correction, accommodation, eligibility question, or withdrawal, email casting@sonicgods.media. Include the email address used for your application. Do not send passwords or identity documents in an initial message.

1. Who is responsible

Sonic Gods Studios LLC operates the Model x Creator Casting Portal at modelcreatorcasting.com and its associated Base44 application. This Policy covers the public questionnaire, BeautyCon access registration and auditions, callback submissions, related casting administration, and programme and promotional uses of audition Materials under an expressly accepted Application & Submission Release. Contact: casting@sonicgods.media; mail: Sonic Gods Studios LLC, Attn: Privacy, 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505.

This Policy explains our practices. Acknowledging it does not waive privacy rights or agree to unrelated processing. The Notice at Collection gives a shorter category-by-category explanation before you provide information.

2. Information and sources

We receive information directly from you, from your communications with the casting team, from materials and public social or portfolio links you provide, and from the Portal’s hosting, storage, and email systems. Authorized reviewers may create internal assessments and administrative notes.

Depending on the form, information includes name, email, phone, city/state or location, age or date of birth and adult confirmation, gender or other casting details you provide, work eligibility or the BeautyCon citizenship/residency confirmation, occupation, agency and endorsement information, availability, creative experience, social handles and portfolio links, written responses, photos, video and audio, and associated file metadata.

We also maintain application status, callback administration, communications, internal notes, and legal acceptance records including typed name, checked affirmations, document version, route, and receipt time. Hosting and security services may process IP addresses, browser/device details, request times, and diagnostic logs.

Some eligibility answers or voluntary stories may reveal sensitive information, such as citizenship or immigration status, health, race or ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. We do not ask for government identifiers, passwords, financial account numbers, or medical records in the public forms. Do not include sensitive or private information you do not want potentially disclosed in the audition Materials you license for programme or promotional use. A face or voice in audition media is not used by us to create a biometric identification template.

3. Purposes

We use information to receive and evaluate Model x Creator applications; assess stated eligibility, experience, and availability; administer auditions and callbacks; communicate about casting; operate related event registration and guest lists; provide support and accessible formats; protect the Portal; maintain permission and business records; respond to privacy requests; and comply with legal obligations or address disputes.

Application answers and internal assessments help the casting team decide whom to consider. Age answers may automatically flag an application under the Portal’s eligibility workflow. Contact the casting team to correct an error or request review of an eligibility concern.

If you expressly accept the Application & Submission Release for a submission, we may also use its audition photographs, video, audio and written casting or story responses, and their included name, likeness, voice, performance and biographical information, in Model x Creator and its related advertising, publicity and promotion. The permission includes editing and public exhibition, broadcast, streaming, distribution and licensing in all media worldwide, for unlimited uses in perpetuity, without further permission or payment except where nonwaivable law or a separate written agreement requires otherwise. This can occur whether or not you are selected as a contestant.

This programme-use permission concerns the defined audition Materials, not publication of your private contact details, government identifiers, credentials, or our internal administrative records. We do not use the Portal to sell private contact or administrative records to data brokers, conduct cross-context behavioral advertising, or create biometric identification templates. New filming, background reports or medical evaluations require a separate appropriate process and any required permissions.

4. Disclosures and service providers

Information may be accessed by authorized casting and production personnel working on this project and by providers supporting the workflow. Current services include Base44 for the application and database and Google services for Drive file storage, Sheets guest-list administration, and Gmail communications. Event or check-in personnel may receive information needed for event access administration.

For audition Materials covered by your expressly accepted programme-use release, recipients may also include authorized production partners, broadcasters, distributors, streaming platforms, licensees, sublicensees, successors and assigns. If the Materials are used, audiences and the general public may see or hear them in programmes, clips, advertising, publicity and promotion. Those licensed uses may be commercial, worldwide, repeated and perpetual. By accepting that release, you intentionally authorize those specified disclosures; an application confirmation alone does not grant rights in an earlier submission.

We may also disclose information to professional advisers, insurers, auditors, authorities when legally required, or other parties when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, or security. In a business transaction, information may be transferred subject to applicable law and notice requirements.

We do not sell private contact, eligibility, technical, or administrative records or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. Audition Materials are separately subject to the expressly authorized public programme and promotional license described above; this is not permission for unrelated data brokerage or advertising targeting. If a proposed disclosure is a sale or sharing regulated by applicable privacy law, we will provide the required notices and choices and honor applicable rights before making that disclosure. Providers and authorized programme recipients may process information in the United States or other locations where they operate. External links and social platforms have independent privacy practices.

5. Retention

We use category-specific retention criteria rather than a single fixed period. Contact, eligibility and private application details are retained while needed for the casting cycle, applicant communications, any resulting participation, and applicable legal obligations.

Audition Materials covered by an expressly accepted perpetual programme-use release may be kept and used for as long as the licensed programme, related promotion, distribution, archive, rights-management and legal-recordkeeping purposes require, including in perpetuity for licensed programme and promotional assets. The grant does not override nonwaivable privacy or deletion obligations. Review notes not incorporated into licensed content follow their casting and administrative purpose rather than automatically becoming public programme material.

Event registration records are retained while needed for guest-list administration, follow-up and related disputes. Technical logs are retained while needed to operate and secure the systems. Legal acceptance and request records are retained while reasonably needed to document permissions, meet legal obligations and address claims. Limitation periods, legal holds and provider backup cycles may extend retention for relevant records.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it is deleted, deidentified or securely archived where lawful. You may request deletion or withdrawal from consideration. Withdrawal does not itself revoke a previously granted programme-use license, and a request does not automatically require recall of completed or distributed works, but we will honor nonwaivable rights and applicable legal requirements. This update does not automatically delete earlier applications, alter their acceptance history, or expand their permissions.

6. Security

We use administrative, technical and organizational controls designed to protect private casting records, including access restrictions and established cloud providers. The Portal does not create a public applicant profile. Separately, audition Materials may be made public through the programme and related promotion if you expressly grant that permission in the Submission Release. Protect your callback link and avoid sharing it.

No internet service, file link, email, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If an incident affects personal information, we will assess it and take appropriate steps, including notices required by law. Nothing in the Portal agreements waives nonwaivable privacy or security rights.

7. Cookies, drafts, and tracking choices

The Portal and hosting providers use technical storage, sessions, and logs for delivery, security, and operation. The main questionnaire saves an unfinished draft and step on your device in browser local storage. Uploaded files may reach our storage before you press final submit. Use a private device where possible. A successful questionnaire submission clears its saved local draft; clearing site data through your browser also removes that local draft, but does not delete an upload or submitted record.

We do not add advertising cookies or cross-context advertising trackers to the public casting forms. We do not use browser Do Not Track signals to change essential operation. Our no-advertising-targeting practice applies whether or not you enable Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. These signals do not by themselves revoke a copyright or appearance license, and we honor any opt-out or other choice required by applicable privacy law. If practices change, we will update the disclosures and implement any required choices before the new activity.

New legal acceptance boxes start unchecked for the current session; saved questionnaire answers do not serve as acceptance of a new legal version.

8. Privacy requests and California rights

You may ask for access, a copy, correction, deletion, or withdrawal from casting by emailing casting@sonicgods.media with the subject "Privacy Request," or writing to Sonic Gods Studios LLC, Attn: Privacy, 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505. Include your name, the email used on the Portal, the form involved, and what you request. Please do not send identity documents or sensitive numbers in the initial request.

We may verify your identity using information already held and request proportionate additional information where needed to protect you. An authorized agent may act with valid authorization, subject to verification allowed by law. We will respond under applicable legal time limits, explain any lawful refusal or exception, and provide appeal instructions where an appeal right applies.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended applies, California residents may have rights to know/access and portability; deletion; correction; opting out of sale or sharing; limiting specified uses of sensitive personal information; and nondiscrimination for exercising those rights. We do not sell private contact, eligibility, technical or administrative records or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Submission Release expressly addresses programme and promotional disclosures of audition Materials, but does not waive statutory privacy rights. You may contact us about a concern or request even where a particular statutory right does not apply.

A deletion or withdrawal request may prevent further consideration when the information is necessary for casting. This is a consequence of the request, not a penalty for exercising privacy rights. Legal requirements, security needs, and recordkeeping exceptions may prevent deletion of some records. You may request this Policy in an accessible alternative format using the same contact methods.

9. Adults and future changes

The Portal is intended for adults who are at least 18 and the age of majority where they live. Do not provide information about a child. If a minor submitted information, contact us for appropriate review and handling.

We will update the date and version when this Policy changes and give any additional notice or request fresh consent required by law. New uses are not retroactively authorized merely by posting revised text. Archived versions are available with the legal documents.

Who collects information and why

Sonic Gods Studios LLC, 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505, operates this Model x Creator casting portal. We collect the information described below for casting review, eligibility and availability assessment, callbacks, related event registration, technical support, security and legal recordkeeping. If you expressly accept the Submission Release, its defined audition Materials may also be used in Model x Creator and its related advertising, publicity and promotion, in any media worldwide for unlimited uses in perpetuity without further permission or payment, except where nonwaivable law or a separate written agreement requires otherwise.

We do not sell private contact, eligibility, technical or administrative records or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. Audition Materials and their included identifying content may be intentionally disclosed to authorized production partners, broadcasters, distributors, platforms, licensees and the public as part of the programme and promotional license you expressly grant. If a proposed disclosure is a sale or sharing regulated by applicable privacy law, we will provide required notices and choices and honor applicable rights before that disclosure. See the Privacy Policy for recipients, rights and full details.

Uploading a file can transfer it to our systems before you press Submit. Adults only: you must be at least 18 and the age of majority where you live. An earlier submission does not gain new programme-use permissions simply because this notice is posted.

Categories, purposes, and retention

Your choices and further information

You decide whether to apply. Provide only what the form requests and avoid unnecessary sensitive information or other people’s private information. For access, correction, deletion, withdrawal, or an accessible format, contact casting@sonicgods.media or write to Sonic Gods Studios LLC, Attn: Privacy, 3400 W Riverside Dr Ste 250, Burbank, CA 91505. Applicable rights and verification are explained in the Privacy Policy.

Acknowledging this notice records that it was provided; it does not waive statutory privacy rights or itself grant the programme-use license. The separate Application & Submission Release and its affirmative acceptance grant the specified perpetual public programme and promotional permissions. Contact details and private administrative records are not licensed public content.
