Terms & Conditions

Stars N Celebs · starsncelebs.in

Last updated: 18 October 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Stars N Celebs platform, including the website, mobile experience and related services (the “Platform”), operated by Stars N Celebs (“we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account, browsing or otherwise using the Platform, you (“User”, “you”) agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

1. Who we are and what we do

Stars N Celebs is an artist identity platform for performing artists, including dancers, singers, actors, models, anchors and influencers. It runs on a zero-commission, subscription-based model. We provide a space for artists to build a public profile, find and post opportunities, and be discovered by clients and audiences.

We are a facilitator of discovery and connection. We are not a talent agency, employer, casting agent or a party to any engagement, booking or payment between Users. We act as an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

2. Eligibility and minors

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding contract under Indian law.
A person under 18 (a “minor”) may use the Platform only through an account created and managed by, or with the verifiable consent of, a parent or lawful guardian. The parent or guardian takes responsibility for the minor’s use, including what is published about the minor.
We verify guardian consent by reasonable means and may suspend or restrict a minor’s account until consent is verified.
We do not track, behaviourally monitor or direct targeted advertising at children, and we do not process a child’s data in a way likely to harm their wellbeing.
A parent or guardian may withdraw consent, correct data or delete a minor’s account at any time.
Clients engaging minors must follow every law that applies to children working in entertainment, and must deal with the parent or guardian directly.
Giving false age information or creating a minor’s account without guardian involvement breaks these Terms.

3. Accounts

3.1 Account types

The Platform has artist accounts (Talent, Featured Artist and Celebrity tiers) and client accounts (brands, production houses and individuals who hire artists). Features, limits and prices differ by account type and are shown on the Platform.

3.2 Your responsibilities

Keep your login details confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
Give accurate, current and complete information and keep it updated.
Keep one account per person. Do not create an account for someone else without authority, or keep more than one account to deceive.
Complete your profile as the Platform requires. Profiles that are incomplete may not appear in the public directory.
You are solely responsible for what you upload or publish.

4. Privacy and personal data

We process personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, as set out in our Privacy Policy. In short:

We collect data for specified purposes, with your consent given by a clear action, and with an itemised notice.
You may withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you gave it.
You may ask for access, correction, updating or erasure of your data, nominate someone to act for you, and complain to the Data Protection Board of India if we do not resolve your grievance.
Children’s data is processed only with verifiable parental or guardian consent.
Other Users’ personal data that you receive through the Platform, such as applicant details or messages, may be used only for the purpose it was shared, and not for spam, resale or any other purpose.

5. Subscriptions, packs, boosts and payments

5.1 Subscriptions

Some features need a paid subscription. We take no commission on engagements, bookings or business you conduct through the Platform. Plan prices, taxes and renewal terms are shown before you pay.

5.2 Renewal and expiry

If a subscription expires, paid features may stop. Accounts that stay expired may be restricted, and after notice and a reasonable period, deactivated and deleted as described in the Privacy Policy.

5.3 Post packs and boosts

Artists and clients get a number of free opportunity posts each month, set by account type. Extra posts can be bought as packs.
Each pack states its number of posts, price and validity. Unused posts expire at the end of the validity period plus any grace period shown at purchase.
A boost extends the days an opportunity stays open so that it can reach more matching artists. It does not guarantee any number of applications or any hiring outcome.
Pack, boost and posting prices and limits may change prospectively. Packs already bought keep their stated terms.

5.4 Payments, taxes and refunds

Payments are processed by Razorpay. We do not store card, bank or UPI details.
Prices are subject to applicable taxes.
Fees, packs and boosts are non-refundable once used or once the service has started, except where law requires, or where you were charged twice or in error. Tell us within 7 days of the payment.
No refund is due where an account is suspended or terminated for breaking these Terms.

6. Opportunities

6.1 Posting

Users may post opportunities such as auditions, bookings, collaborations and campaigns. Every post must be genuine, lawful and accurate about the work, the dates, the location, the pay or barter, and any conditions.

6.2 Rules the Platform applies

Pay and barter: posts may be paid or barter. Paid posts must meet the minimum pay amount set for the category. Barter posts may be allowed only after a poster has completed the number of paid opportunities the Platform requires.
Review: we may hold a poster’s first post for approval before it goes live, and may reject, edit or remove any post.
Matching and limits: opportunities are shown to matching artists using rules set by us. Each post has a response cap and a deadline. We do not promise how many artists will see a post or respond.
Screening questions: a poster may ask up to three screening questions. Applicants’ answers are shown to the poster.
Unsafe terms: posters must not ask artists to pay fees to apply, to share intimate or unsafe content, to work unpaid while calling it paid, or to agree to terms that are exploitative or unlawful.

6.3 Applying

Applications are shared with the poster along with your profile and screening answers. Apply only if you are available and genuinely interested. Some features may be restricted until your profile is live.

6.4 Status, close-out and outcomes

Posters may mark applicants as shortlisted or not selected, and applicants are told when a post closes. After a post closes, the poster must record the outcome (applicants hired, none found, or hired outside the Platform, with the pay or barter given). Applicants may be asked to confirm whether the work happened, whether they were paid as posted and whether it was on time. Please answer honestly. We may use these records to check compliance, resolve disputes and decide on action against an account.

6.5 Your dealings are your own

Any agreement, payment or work between Users is strictly between them. Agree the terms in writing, and keep your own records. We do not guarantee any booking, payment or outcome and do not hold or guarantee payments between Users.

7. Messages, broadcasts, reviews and events

Users may message each other about opportunities. Do not send spam, repeated unwanted messages or misleading offers.
Broadcast messages may be sent only as the Platform allows and must be relevant to the people receiving them.
We send service notifications and a daily digest by email, SMS or in-app. You can pause or unsubscribe from the digest. Service messages that you need, such as OTPs, payment confirmations and notices about your account, cannot be switched off.
Reviews and ratings must be honest, based on real experience, and not abusive or defamatory. We may remove reviews that break these Terms.
Event registrations and payments are governed by the terms shown on the event page, in addition to these Terms.

8. Content and intellectual property

You own the content (photos, videos, profile information and so on) that you upload. You confirm that you have the right to upload it and that it does not infringe anyone’s rights.
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce, format (including converting images and generating digital cards and portfolio PDFs) and promote your content on the Platform and in marketing for the Platform, including our social media, for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable time afterwards to wind down that use. You may ask us to stop promotional use of your content, and we will do so within a reasonable time, except for material already published.
The Envie magazine and other editorial content we publish belong to us or our contributors. Contributors keep the rights their agreements give them. Do not copy or republish them without permission.
The Platform’s branding, design, software and technology are our exclusive property.
If you believe your rights are infringed by content on the Platform, write to the Grievance Officer in Section 12 with details, and we will act under applicable law.

9. Acceptable use

You must not use the Platform to post, share or do anything that is:

unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or that infringes another person’s rights;
harassment, exploitation, or endangerment of anyone, especially minors;
fraud, impersonation, or false claims about identity, credentials, work or pay;
promotion of violence, extremism or other conduct likely to harm the Platform or its Users;
an attempt to avoid our security, payment, matching or verification systems, including scraping, bots or fake accounts, or taking Users’ contact details off the Platform for spam or resale.

We decide, acting reasonably and in good faith, whether conduct breaks these rules.

10. Reports, moderation, suspension and termination

10.1 Reporting

Any User can report an opportunity or a User. The reporter’s reason is shared with the other party, without the reporter’s name, so they can respond. If there is no response within 14 days, we may hide the content or take further action. Our decision after reviewing a report may be: no action, a warning, removal of the post, or removal of the post together with deactivation of the account.

10.2 Disputes between Users

We may record and review disputes (for example about non-payment or no-show) and may warn, restrict or remove an account. We do not act as judge between Users, do not order payment, and our decisions affect only the Platform account.

10.3 Suspension and deletion

We may suspend, restrict or delete an account, or remove content, where we reasonably believe these Terms or the law have been broken, or where the law or a government authority requires it. Where reasonably possible we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. We may act first without notice in cases of fraud, threat to safety, harm to a minor or legal order.

10.4 Effect

If your account is suspended or deleted for breaking these Terms, we are not liable for loss of business, income, opportunities or goodwill that results, except where the law does not allow us to exclude that liability. You may delete your own account at any time. Provisions that by nature should continue (payments due, licence for published material, liability and indemnity, governing law) will continue.

11. No guarantee of outcomes, and limit of liability

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, any booking, any income, or the truth of any User’s claims. We do not fully verify every User, so use your own judgement and take care before meeting, sharing personal data or paying anyone.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, business or data, arising from your use of the Platform, or from dealings between Users.
Where the law does not allow a limit, our total liability for a claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us, our founders, employees and affiliates harmless from claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your content, your dealings with other Users, your breach of these Terms or your breach of law.

13. Grievance redressal and contact

For complaints about content, your personal data or these Terms, contact:

Grievance Officer: [Name] Stars N Celebs, [Registered address], Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Email: [Email address]

We will acknowledge a complaint within 24 hours and aim to resolve it within 15 days, or within any shorter time the law sets for the type of complaint. Complaints about personal data are handled under the Privacy Policy, and if unresolved you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our practices, features or the law. We will notify material changes on the Platform or by email. If you keep using the Platform after the changes take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Platform and delete your account.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes should first be tried to be settled by discussion. If not settled, they are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.

16. General

Severability: if any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent needed, and the rest will continue.
No waiver: if we do not enforce a right, we have not given it up.
Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, event page terms and any other notices we publish on the Platform are the entire agreement between you and us about the Platform.
