Runway's Talent Network connects creative professionals with hiring parties, but Runway disclaims all responsibility for what happens in those relationships — including payment disputes or bad outcomes.
Talent and hiring parties using the Runway Talent Network have no recourse against Runway for payment failures, contract disputes, or harmful outcomes arising from connections made through the platform — all risk falls on the individual parties.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Platform liability disclaimers for marketplace transactions are evaluated under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. §230) in the US, which provides immunity for third-party content but not for platform's own conduct. The EU's Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065) imposes obligations on intermediary platforms regarding transparency and dispute resolution. FTC Act Section 5 applies where platform disclaimers may mislead users about the nature of protections available. State labor laws and contractor classification rules (California AB5, NLRA) may be implicated where the talent-hiring relationship approaches employment.
