Effective date: 27th October '2026

1. About these Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Stars N Celebs website and services at starsncelebs.in, India ("Stars N Celebs", "we", "us"). By registering, subscribing, paying or otherwise using the Platform you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Who is who

Artist: a person with a profile on the Platform (Talent, Featured Artist or Celebrity).
Client or Brand: a business or organisation registered to post opportunities, message artists or run a brand page (Recruiter, Brand Partner or Premier Brand).
Partner: a person or organisation we have authorised to act on the Platform on our behalf or on behalf of others (see Section 15).
Add-on: an extra purchasable pack, such as additional posting credits, boosts, extra product slots or extra gallery images and videos.
User: anyone who uses the Platform, including visitors.

3. Eligibility and minors

You must be at least 18 to register independently.
A person under 18 may use the Platform only through an account created and controlled by a parent or legal guardian, who gives verifiable consent, accepts these Terms for the minor and is responsible for the minor's use. We may ask for proof of parental or guardian consent at any time.
You must give accurate, complete and current information and keep it updated.
You must not have been previously removed from the Platform.
A Client confirms that it acts for a genuine business or organisation and has authority to bind it.

4. Accounts and security

You create an account with your name, email, mobile number and other required details. Mobile numbers and emails are verified by OTP, and one mobile number can be linked to one account.
An Artist's username becomes the public address starsncelebs.in/YourName. A Client's username becomes the address of its brand page. We may refuse, reclaim or reassign usernames that infringe rights, impersonate others or breach these Terms.
Keep your login details confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us at once if you suspect unauthorised use.
A verified mobile number can be changed only through the OTP process on the Platform, and only once in the period we set.

5. What the Platform is, and is not

Stars N Celebs is a discovery, identity and communication platform. It is not a talent agency, booking agent, employer, broker or marketplace for goods.

We do not guarantee bookings, jobs, auditions, responses, sales, followers, rankings, search visibility or any other result.
We are not a party to any agreement between Users, and we do not process payments between Artists and Clients. Any dealing is directly between the parties and entirely at their own risk.
We do not independently check the identity, credentials, offers or claims of any User, except as stated in Section 9, and even then only to the extent described there.
Zero commission: we do not take a share of any fee, pay or earnings agreed between Users.

6. Subscriptions, add-ons and payments

6.1 Plans. Full features need a paid subscription. Plans, prices, features, limits and validity are those shown on the Subscriptions page and in your dashboard at the time of purchase. We may change plans and prices for future purchases. Limits such as the number of opportunities, messages, products, images, videos and outreach messages differ by plan.

6.2 Add-ons. Add-ons are bought separately, are valid only for the period stated at purchase, and never outlast your subscription. Unused add-ons expire and are not refundable.

6.3 Payment. Payments are processed by Razorpay (cards, UPI, net banking). By paying you authorise the charge. Prices are [INCLUSIVE / EXCLUSIVE] of GST where applicable, and a tax invoice is available on request. [GSTIN, if applicable.]

6.4 Coupons and invitation codes. A coupon or invitation code applies only as stated, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be withdrawn if misused.

6.5 No refunds. All payments are final and non-refundable, including for non-use, change of mind or removal of an account under Section 20, except where the law requires otherwise or we charge you in error (for example a duplicate payment, which we will correct).

6.6 Renewal and expiry. Subscriptions do not auto-renew. You must renew before the expiry date, and we may send reminders. When a subscription expires, paid features stop working and we may restrict or hide your profile or brand page. If an account stays expired for an extended period we may remove it after giving notice to your registered email.

7. Artist features

Profile. Your profile appears in the public directory and search only when you have completed the required details and your plan is active. We may set limits on photos, YouTube links and file sizes.
Media. Uploaded images are converted and stored by us or our storage providers. Videos are shown through YouTube links only, except where a feature says otherwise.
Digital Card and Portfolio PDF. These are generated from your profile for you to share. You are responsible for what you choose to show and share.
Matching and alerts. We may notify you of opportunities that match your profile and may send periodic digests by email, SMS, WhatsApp or in-app message. Matching is automatic and does not mean an opportunity is genuine (see Section 10).

8. Client plans and brand pages

8.1 Plans. Clients choose a plan (currently Recruiter, Brand Partner or Premier Brand). Features and limits are those shown for the plan when you buy it. We may change plan features for future purchases.

8.2 Brand page. A brand page goes live only when we have approved the Client, the plan includes a brand page, the subscription is active, the Client is verified (Section 9), the required details (company name, tagline, about) are filled in and the Client has chosen to publish. We may hide a page that no longer meets these conditions.

8.3 Products. A brand page may display products for information only. The Platform is not a shop. No orders, payments or sales are made through it. The Client alone is responsible for its products, descriptions, prices, claims, images, licences and legal compliance (including consumer, advertising, labelling and legal metrology laws).

8.4 Brand page content. Brand pages may include galleries, videos, awards, certifications, past collaborations, story, brochure, FAQs, stores and locations, and a Contact us form. Awards, certifications and collaborations are shown as claims made by the brand. We do not check them. The Client confirms that all such content is true and that it has the right to use it. The Client must keep store addresses and contact details accurate.

8.5 Contact us. Logged-in Users may send a message to a brand through the Contact us box. We may limit the number of messages and may pass the message and the sender's contact details to the brand so it can reply. Brands must use these details only to reply.

8.6 Analytics. Premier Brand analytics show counts such as visits, product opens, clicks and messages. They are approximate, do not identify individual visitors and may exclude bots and the owner's own visits.

8.7 SNC Instagram feature. Where a plan allows, a Client may submit one of its opportunities for a possible feature on our Instagram account. Selection, timing, wording and edits are entirely our decision. A submission is not a promise of a feature.

8.8 Plan changes. If a Client moves to a lower plan or lets its plan lapse, content or limits beyond the new plan may be hidden. Hidden content is not deleted unless we give notice.

9. Business verification, referrals and vouching

Routes. A Client can ask for a "Verified Business" badge by confirming its Instagram account, confirming its company email, or by a referral (a "vouch") from an existing active subscriber. We may approve, refuse or withdraw a badge at our discretion.
What the badge means. The badge shows only that the Client completed one of these checks. It is not a guarantee, endorsement or certification of the Client, its offers, opportunities, products, awards or claims. Users must use their own judgement before sharing personal information, travelling or paying anyone.
Vouching. A subscriber who vouches confirms that they personally know the business and believe it to be genuine. Vouching is voluntary and unpaid and is limited to the number per month we set. The voucher's name is not shown publicly, but we can see it.
Responsibility of the voucher. If a vouched business is later found to be fake, fraudulent or misleading, and the voucher knew or reasonably should have known this, we may suspend or permanently end the voucher's subscription and account, without refund. A voucher can withdraw a vouch at any time. Withdrawing removes that Client's badge but does not undo anything the Client did earlier.
Changes. If a verified Client changes the verified Instagram handle or company email, the badge is removed and the brand page is hidden until the Client is verified again.
No platform liability. We are not responsible for dealings between Users and Clients, including losses arising from any badge, vouch, brand page, opportunity or outreach message.

10. Opportunity Board

Clients and others allowed to post may publish opportunities, including paid, barter and outcome-based ones. A poster must state the terms honestly, including whether the work is paid, unpaid or for exchange, and must not ask Artists for money, deposits or fees in return for a role.
Posting uses posting credits from the plan or from Add-ons. Boosts and other paid options work as described when bought.
We may refuse, edit, hide, close or remove any opportunity, and may remove a poster, without notice.
We do not vet, endorse or guarantee any opportunity or poster. Artists apply and attend at their own risk and should independently verify any brand, scout or organiser before sharing personal data, travelling, signing or paying anything.
You can report an opportunity or poster using the report option on the Platform. We review reports and decide at our discretion. We may share the report with the poster to the extent needed.

11. Messaging, broadcasts and outreach

Messages. Users may message each other only through the features and limits we provide. Messages must be relevant, respectful and lawful. We may read, filter, limit or remove messages to enforce these Terms, protect Users and meet legal duties.
Platform broadcasts. We may send announcements and broadcasts to Artists and Clients. Some ask for a reply (such as Yes or No).
Outreach Marketing (Premier Brand). A verified Premier Brand may send a limited number of outreach messages to matching Artists, within monthly and per-message limits we set. Outreach goes only to eligible Artists with an active plan and a live profile. Messages must not contain links, phone numbers or email addresses. An Artist can answer Yes, Not sure or No. A brand may message only Artists who answered Yes, and may not re-target an Artist who answered No. Outreach to Celebrity Artists needs our approval before it is sent. We may reject, edit or withdraw any outreach, and we do not guarantee delivery or replies.
Spam and misuse. Bulk, repeated, misleading or unsolicited commercial messaging outside these features is prohibited.
Notifications. We send service messages such as OTPs, alerts and reminders. See the Privacy Policy for how contact details are used.

12. Events

Where the Platform offers events, the event page states the details, fee, date, venue, panelists and any refund rule. Registrations are paid through Razorpay. Unless the event page says otherwise, registration fees are non-refundable, except where we cancel the event, in which case we will refund or reschedule as the event page states. Speakers, panelists, celebrities and programme items may change. We are not responsible for travel, stay or other costs you incur.

13. Envie magazine and contributors

Envie is our online magazine. Its articles, interviews and features are editorial content. Opinions of interviewees and contributors are their own. Being featured is an editorial decision, is not a paid service unless a plan says so, and is never guaranteed. We may edit, reorder, unpublish or archive content. Contributors who write or review for Envie must submit original work, must not copy others, and give us a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to publish and promote it on the Platform and our channels, with credit where practical.

14. Reviews, ratings, reports and flags

Where reviews and ratings are switched on, they must be honest, based on a real interaction, and not paid for or forced. We may moderate or remove reviews.
Any registered, verified User may use the Raise a question or Report options on awards, certifications, collaborations, opportunities and Users. A question about a brand item goes to the brand first. If the brand does not answer within the time we set, or if the item is reported as fake, we review it. The item stays visible until we decide. We may keep it, remove it or dismiss the flag. Our decision is final to the extent the law allows. Knowingly false reports are a breach of these Terms.

15. Partner and delegate accounts

We may give Partners limited access (for example to share event registration links, view coupon data, or write and review Envie articles). A Partner must act only within the permissions given, keep data confidential, and follow these Terms. We may change or withdraw access at any time. Actions taken through a Partner account are treated as taken by that Partner and its organisation.

16. User content and licence

16.1 Responsibility. You are solely responsible for everything you upload, post, send or display, including photos, videos, bios, links, products, brand content, messages and reviews ("User Content"). You confirm that you own it or have the rights and consents needed (including from any person shown in it, and for a minor from the parent or guardian), that it is accurate, and that it does not break any law or third-party right.

16.2 Licence. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, display, reproduce, resize, convert and distribute your User Content on the Platform, in generated documents such as Digital Cards and Portfolio PDFs, and in promotional material for the Platform (such as social media and campaigns), with credit where practical. You can withdraw the licence by deleting the content or your account, except for copies already made for promotion that cannot reasonably be recalled and backups kept for a limited time.

17. Prohibited content and conduct

You must not upload, send or do any of the following:

Pornographic, obscene or sexually explicit content, or content that exploits or harms minors
Hate speech, discrimination or material targeting people on any protected ground
Violence, self-harm, illegal activity or defamatory, abusive or harassing content
Content that infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights
Religious messaging, political content or socially divisive material
Spam, scams, fake offers, fake awards or certifications, or misleading or fraudulent content
Requests for money, deposits or fees from Artists in return for work or visibility
Malware or harmful code
Impersonation of any person, artist, brand or organisation
Scraping, harvesting or copying data from the Platform by automated means, or using Artist data to build a competing database or directory
Attempts to bypass limits, plans, verification, approval or security, or to gain unauthorised access to accounts or systems
Any unlawful use, or conduct that damages Stars N Celebs or other Users

We may remove content or restrict features that break these rules, without prior notice and without liability.

18. Intellectual property

The Stars N Celebs name, logo, design, software, text and structure, and all content that is not User Content, belong to us and are protected by Indian and international law. You may not copy, distribute, modify or create works from them without our written consent. The names and marks of Users remain theirs.

19. Intermediary status, takedown and grievances

We act as an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it. We do not select or edit most User Content before it appears.
If you believe content breaks the law, infringes your rights or breaks these Terms, write to the Grievance Officer below with the link, your details and the reason. We will acknowledge within 24 hours and aim to resolve within 15 days, or sooner where the law requires, and we may remove content or take other action while we review it.
Data protection requests (access, correction, erasure, withdrawal of consent, grievance) follow the Privacy Policy and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its rules.

20. Suspension and termination

20.1 By you. You may delete your account by writing to us or using the delete option if available. Your profile or brand page will be removed, and no refund is given for any unused period or Add-on.

20.2 By us. We may suspend, restrict or end any account, profile, brand page, badge or feature, with or without notice, if you break these Terms, give false or misleading information, harm Users, third parties or the Platform, or if the law or an authority requires it. No refund is given.

20.3 After ending. Your right to use the Platform stops. Some data may be kept as the Privacy Policy and the law allow. Sections that by their nature should survive (including payments, content licence for existing copies, IP, liability, indemnity and disputes) survive.

21. Disclaimers, limits of liability and indemnity

21.1 As is. The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service.

21.2 Limit. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of earnings, bookings, opportunities, reputation or data, or for any harm from dealings between Users, any opportunity, vouch, badge, brand page, outreach, event or third-party service, or from outages and data loss.

21.3 Cap. Our total liability to you for any claim under these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

21.4 Indemnity. You will indemnify and hold harmless Stars N Celebs and its owners, officers, employees and agents against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your User Content, your breach of these Terms or your violation of anyone's rights.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, email registered Users at least 7 days before they take effect. Using the Platform after that date means you accept the changes. Changes to prices and plans apply to future purchases.

23. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Mumbai, Maharashtra have exclusive jurisdiction. Before starting any legal proceedings, write to us and allow 30 days to try to resolve the matter informally. [Counsel to consider adding arbitration.]

24. General

Severability. If any part is held invalid, the rest remains in force and the invalid part is limited to the minimum extent needed.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Platform.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, we have not given it up.
Assignment. You may not transfer your account or rights. We may transfer ours to a successor of the business.
Notices. We may give notice by email, SMS, in-app message or on the Platform.
Force majeure. We are not liable for failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
