DMCA Policy

Castle, an entertainment section portal that runs on Android 6.0 and above, adheres to the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). To serve our Indian users, we actively pursue legitimate content distribution opportunities while providing core features including free streaming, downloading and HD quality playback. This policy outlines the procedures for copyright infringement claims, counter-notifications, and associated user responsibilities for all activities on our platform.

1. Service Nature & Copyright Compliance

Castle does not store or host any copyrighted files and acts solely as a conduit for third-party supplied content. That said, we take proactive steps to prevent unauthorized access to copyrighted materials and strictly comply with the provisions of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

2. Copyright Infringement Claim Requirements

If you believe your copyrighted work is being infringed through Castle, you must provide us with the following information (pursuant to DMCA 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):

(1) An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;

(2) A detailed description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;

(3) A clear description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on our platform.

3. Infringement Notice Processing

Our team will initiate an investigation immediately upon receipt of a credible infringement notification and confirm receipt of your notice within 48 hours. We fully comply with the notice and takedown provisions of the DMCA and process all valid infringement notices promptly. In accordance with Indian copyright law and DMCA rules, we reserve the right to take appropriate action against repeat infringers, including relevant content blocks and access restrictions.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that your content has been removed in error, please submit a counter-notification to our team with the following complete information:

(1) Your full name, physical address, valid telephone number and official email address;

(2) Exact identification of the material that was removed, and its specific location on our platform prior to removal;

(3) A written statement that you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Indian courts for any dispute arising out of this counter-notification;

(4) A statement made under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.

If no legal action is initiated by the copyright claimant within the applicable timeframe, the claimant will be notified of your valid counter-notification, and we will reinstate the removed material or cease disabling access to it within 14 business days.

5. Liability Disclaimer & User Responsibilities

Castle accepts no liability for inadvertent copyright infringements caused by third-party content suppliers. We do not submit to arbitrary censorship and uphold principles of fair and objective content moderation.

By using Castle, you agree to abide by all copyright-related laws and this policy, and you are prohibited from infringing on the copyrights of others through our platform—including by sharing, distributing or transmitting copyrighted content without the proper written permission of the relevant rights holder.
