Terms & Conditions.

These Terms govern your use of CASTED, an anonymous campus confession and social platform operated from Anambra State, Nigeria. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CASTED you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use CASTED.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use CASTED. By using the platform you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3. Anonymous Posting

Your name is never shown with your secrets, comments or reactions. CASTED creates a random anonymous session in your browser so features like reactions, reports and posting limits work. Anonymity applies to other visitors; it is not absolute. Our technical service providers process technical data (such as IP addresses) to run the service, and we may be required to disclose information in response to a lawful legal request.

4. Your Content

You are responsible for everything you submit, including secrets and comments. You must not post:

• Threats, intimidation, bullying or targeted harassment.
• Hate speech or discrimination.
• Doxxing — names, phone numbers, addresses, handles or other identifying information about anyone without authorisation.
• Sexual exploitation, explicit sexual material, or intimate images of anyone shared without consent.
• Defamatory, fraudulent or deliberately misleading content.
• Material that infringes copyright or other rights.
• Content that promotes or facilitates illegal activity.

5. Moderation and Removal

CASTED may remove, hide or restrict any content, review reported submissions, and restrict or suspend access for people who break these Terms, including repeat violators. Secrets are not reviewed before publication, and content that receives many dislikes may be hidden automatically.

6. Reporting

Every real secret has a report option. Choose a reason and optionally add details. Reports are confidential and reviewed by the CASTED team, who may hide or remove content, or take no action where no violation is found.

7. Reactions and Comments

You may react to and comment on secrets. Abusive, threatening, harassing or otherwise inappropriate comments are not allowed and may be removed.

8. Content Ownership

You keep whatever rights you have in content you create. By posting, you give CASTED a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, distribute and moderate that content as needed to operate the platform. If you believe content infringes your copyright, contact us with details and we will review it.

9. Advertising and Third-Party Services

CASTED displays sponsored content and may in future display advertisements from third-party advertising partners. Sponsored content is labelled to distinguish it from user submissions. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies as described in our Privacy Policy. CASTED does not necessarily endorse advertised products or services, and any dealings with advertisers are between you and them.

10. Privacy

How we handle information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

11. Prohibited Activities

• Automated or spam submissions.
• Manipulating reactions, reports or advertisements.
• Generating artificial traffic.
• Exploiting vulnerabilities, gaining unauthorised access, or disrupting the website.
• Submitting false or abusive reports.

12. Third-Party Links

CASTED may link to external websites or services. We are not responsible for their content, policies or operations.

13. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Secrets and comments reflect the views of their anonymous authors, not CASTED, and we do not verify their accuracy. CASTED is provided "as is" and may occasionally be unavailable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, CASTED is not liable for losses arising from user content or your use of the platform. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date above will change, and significant changes will be announced on the website.

15. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict or end access to CASTED, in whole or in part, where these Terms are broken, to protect users, or where required by law. We may also change or discontinue the service.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Disputes will be subject to the courts with jurisdiction in Anambra State, Nigeria, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
