Terms of Service

Last updated · July 4, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

Welcome to The Screen Report (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), an independent entertainment-news publication operated by an individual based in India (the “Operator”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Site, including reading articles, creating an account and posting comments.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Who we are. The Screen Report is an independent publication covering film, television, streaming, celebrity and music news for a global audience. You can reach us at [email protected]. Our grievance contact details are in Section 11.

Eligibility and age. The Site is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account or post comments. By creating an account or submitting a comment, you represent that you meet these requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. Accounts and comments from users who do not meet the age requirement may be removed.

2. Your account

Accounts are created and accessed using Sign in with Google. When you sign in, Google shares a limited set of profile information with us (your name, email address and profile image) as described in our Privacy Policy and on the Google consent screen. We use this information only to create and operate your account, associate your comments with you, and communicate with you about the Site. We do not sell your Google account data, and we do not use it for advertising personalization or retargeting.

You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping access to your Google account secure. Provide accurate information, do not impersonate anyone, and do not share or transfer your account. We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict your ability to comment, at our discretion — including where you breach these Terms, where required by law, or to protect the Site and its users. You may delete your account at any time using the “Delete my account” option in your profile or by emailing [email protected]; on deletion, we remove or de-identify your account data as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Comments and user content

The Site allows registered users to post comments (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, but you are solely responsible for it.

License you grant us. By submitting User Content, you grant The Screen Report a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, publish, adapt, distribute and otherwise use that User Content in connection with operating, improving and promoting the Site, in any media. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms, any law, or any third-party right.

Community rules. You agree not to post, link to or share User Content that:

  • is unlawful, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
  • is hateful, harassing, threatening or abusive, or that attacks or demeans a person or group on the basis of race, religion, caste, ethnicity, nationality, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristic;
  • is defamatory, obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit, or that depicts or relates to child sexual abuse or is harmful to a child;
  • invades another person's privacy or discloses their private information;
  • impersonates any person or entity or misrepresents your affiliation;
  • is spam, is primarily promotional, or contains unsolicited advertising, referral or affiliate links, malware, or automated or bot-generated content;
  • infringes any copyright, trademark or other intellectual-property right;
  • is knowingly false or misleading; or
  • is otherwise objectionable.

Moderation. We may — but are not obligated to — review, moderate, edit, refuse to publish, remove or restrict any User Content at any time, for any reason, without notice. We do not pre-screen or monitor all User Content, and we do not guarantee that any comment will be published or remain available. Leaving content up is not an endorsement of it. Comments reflect the views of the individuals who post them, not the views of The Screen Report or the Operator, and we are not responsible or liable for User Content posted by users.

4. Intellectual property

Our content. Except for User Content and third-party materials, all content on the Site — including articles, written analysis, original graphics, the “The Screen Report” name and logo, and the design, layout and compilation of the Site — is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

What you may do. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view our content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may share links to our articles.

What you may not do. Without our prior written permission, you may not: copy, reproduce, republish, distribute or publicly display our content beyond the personal use above; scrape, crawl, harvest or use any automated means or bots to access, collect or extract content or data from the Site; use our content, in whole or in part, to develop, train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model, or for text and data mining; or frame, mirror or systematically download the Site, or create a substantially similar or competing service using our content.

Reservation of rights (AI and text/data mining). The Operator expressly reserves all rights, including under Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and any equivalent law, in respect of text and data mining of any content on the Site. No use of our content for text or data mining, or for training or developing artificial-intelligence systems, is permitted without our express written authorization. This reservation is intended to be, and should be read as, a machine-readable and legally effective opt-out.

Third-party materials. The Site refers to and displays third-party materials — including film and TV titles, posters, promotional stills, trailers, artwork, logos and trademarks — that remain the property of their respective owners. These are used for news reporting, commentary, criticism and identification, and their use does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those owners. If you own rights in material appearing on the Site and believe it has been used improperly, see Section 9.

5. Accuracy and editorial notice

Our content is provided for general entertainment and informational purposes only. Entertainment news moves quickly: details can change, initial reports may be updated, and some information may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors despite our efforts.

How our content is produced. Some of our content is created or edited with the assistance of automated tools, and all such content is subject to human editorial review before and after publication. We take reasonable care to be accurate, but we do not warrant that any content is complete, current or error-free.

Nothing on the Site is legal, financial, medical or other professional advice, and it should not be relied on as such. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all content is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind.

6. Disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity

Disclaimer of warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site and all content and services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and accuracy, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, timely or error-free.

Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the Operator or The Screen Report be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or business, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Site, User Content, third-party content, or any linked or embedded services — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 100.

Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Operator and The Screen Report from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your User Content, your breach of these Terms or any law, or your violation of any third-party right.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Advertising and affiliate disclosure

The Site is supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships. We display ads served by third-party ad networks, including Google, which may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits. We do not control advertiser content and are not responsible for products or services advertised.

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. This means that if you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you. We include such links only where relevant to our coverage. Advertising and affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial coverage, opinions or the content we publish; see our Ethics & Ownership page. Details of the data used for advertising, and your choices, are in our Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party links, embeds and services

The Site contains links to third-party websites and embeds third-party content — such as YouTube videos and social-media posts. We provide these for convenience and context. We do not control, endorse or take responsibility for third-party content, websites, products or services, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to the third party's own terms and privacy policies. Where YouTube content or features appear, your use is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

9. Copyright complaints

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, please follow the process on our DMCA / copyright page, which sets out how to send a valid notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Indian Copyright Act. We act on valid notices, including by removing or disabling access to the material, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to the process below, the courts of competent jurisdiction in India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

Try to resolve informally first. Before starting any formal proceeding, please contact us at [email protected] so we can try to resolve the matter. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

11. Grievance contact, changes and general terms

Grievance contact (India). In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, you may contact us with any complaint about content on the Site, including User Content that violates these Terms or your rights, at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours and endeavour to resolve it within 15 days of receipt, and we will remove or disable access to content within 36 hours of receiving a valid court or government order, and otherwise as required by law.

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

General. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without liability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and this Section 11 — will survive. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor.
