Castle Legal & Technical Disclaimer

This disclaimer sets the limits of Castle's liability. Installing the app on an Android phone, Android TV, or Fire TV Stick means you accept the terms below, so they are worth reading before you rely on the service in your home.

Castle indexes, it does not own

Castle is an Information Location Tool and search directory. It does not produce, own, license, host, store, or rebroadcast any media files, live matches, films, or regional audio. Every link, poster, synopsis, and audio option in the app is metadata gathered automatically from public online sources. Castle has no custodial authority over, and no affiliation with, the external hosts behind those links, and the presence of a link is no endorsement or guarantee of the safety, legality, or quality of its source. Viewers reach external material at their own discretion and remain responsible for complying with the law in their own region.

Use at your own risk

Castle is supplied “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Devices behave as devices do: processors warm, batteries age, storage fills, and apps occasionally conflict. Where any of this coincides with using Castle, on a device of any age, the loss is not ours to cover. Running the app through a desktop emulator adds that emulator's own faults, such as driver errors, memory conflicts, and system instability, which are likewise outside our responsibility.

Beware of counterfeit APKs

The only authentic source of Castle is our official website. Modified, cloned, and “cracked” copies circulate on unofficial app stores, messaging channels, links beneath videos, and file-sharing services, and such builds can hide spyware, ransomware, or code that records what you type, including passwords and payment details for other apps. Liability for any harm caused by an unofficial copy rests with whoever produced and installed it. A copy obtained from anywhere other than the official website should be removed at once, and the device given a full security scan before further use.

Advertising and external links

Castle is kept free through advertising supplied by third-party networks, whose advertised goods and services are not examined, verified, or endorsed by us. Selecting an advertisement or an indexed link takes the viewer out of the app and onto another site, where any pop-ups, cookies, sign-ups, or purchases proceed under that site's rules rather than ours. The terms and privacy policy of any destination should be reviewed before engaging, and particular care taken before entering payment details anywhere outside the app.

Live sport and connectivity

No warranty of uninterrupted service is given or implied, and this holds with particular force during live sport. Stream stability, bitrate, and continuity are governed by external hosts and by your internet provider, not by Castle. During high-demand cricket matches or international tournaments, upstream hosts often meet heavy traffic, and a stream may slow or drop at the very moment a match reaches its peak. Castle accepts no liability for buffering, desynchronisation, packet loss, or dropped connections in such periods, nor for charges on a mobile data plan. Nothing stated here or in the app is legal, financial, or professional advice.
