Last updated: June 2021
Welcome to Recast’s Terms & Conditions (our “T&Cs” ). Our T&Cs are set out in several sections which you can find below. Please review all of them to check which apply to you.
Recast is a digital platform offering official live streams and on demand videos available at the.recast.app (the Platform). Videos are uploaded and shared by users of the Platform – users include some of the world’s biggest sports clubs, leagues, events and organisations. The Platform has its own reward credits, known as Cast Credits. Cast Credits can be earned or purchased (see further sections 2.5 and 2.6 below) and are redeemed in return for watching videos on the Platform.
The Platform is a progressive web app. It is accessed online via an internet browser. You don’t need to download the Platform or install it onto your device but you can download a shortcut to the Platform onto your device for easy access.
The Platform is made available by Recast Sports Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 11507205 whose registered address is at 36 Spital Square, Fourth Floor, London, United Kingdom, E1 6DY (us, we or our).
If you access the Platform without registering we refer to you as a “Guest”. Guests have limited access to the Platform and will only be able to view previews of videos and see other areas of the Platform that don’t require registration. If you are a Guest, the General Terms apply to your use of the Platform.
If you create an account to access the Platform, we refer to you as a “User”. There are two types of User: “Verified Users” are those Users who we grant verified user status to and have a Channel on the Platform they can upload Videos to. All other Users are referred to as “Standard Users”.
If you are a Standard User, the User Terms and General Terms below apply to your use of the Platform.
If you are a Verified User, the User Terms, General Terms and the Verified User Terms apply to your use of the Platform.
We refer to Guests and Users (including both Standard and Verified Users) all as “you” and “your” in these T&Cs.
We use the term “Content” to describe all of the videos provided, uploaded, streamed or published to the Platform and all text, audio, live stream, images, graphics, pictures, information or any other content you provide when using the Platform.
“Published Content” refers to the Content which a Verified User decides to make available for other Users and Guests to view by selecting “publish” – this will include the video or audio file (the “Video”), the title of the Video, and any description and cover image associated with the Video. Published Content also includes live stream Videos of Verified Users. A “Channel” refers to the collection of Videos a Verified User has shared or published from their Account.
Only we or Verified Users can publish Content to the Platform.
Each time a User watches a Video beyond the preview, this constitutes a “View”.
When we define words and phrases in these T&Cs, they will have that meaning wherever else they are used in these T&Cs when they start with capital letters. A helpful list of the terminology we use can be found in our Definitions section.
By accessing and using the Platform you accept these T&Cs and agree to be legally bound by them. If you do not agree to these T&Cs, you must discontinue use of the Platform and if you’ve downloaded a shortcut to the Platform on your device we recommend that you delete this.
By accessing and using the Platform you also acknowledge that your information will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy and that our Cookie Policy applies.
Please review these T&Cs, our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy and save a copy of them for your future reference.
From time to time we may change, update or revise these T&Cs and the policies they refer to.
Any revised terms or policies will be made available to you and a notification of any material changes will either be displayed prominently on the Platform or emailed to you. Please take a moment to read the changes. If you continue to use the Platform after we make the changes, you will be deemed to agree to the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, you should not use the Platform.
This version of our T&Cs is effective from June 2021. Previous versions of our T&Cs can be found at Old T&Cs.
Recast Accounts
Registering an account.
All Users (including Standard Users and Verified Users) need to register an account to access the Platform (an “Account”). You may only have one Account.
When creating an Account you need to provide certain personal information about yourself and you must ensure this information is true and accurate. You must keep this information up to date.
When you sign up we will assign you a username. You will also be prompted to create your Platform ‘identity’ (your “Platform ID”): this may include a ‘handle’, account name, a profile image, and, for Verified Users, includes your Channel name. Your Platform ID can be chosen by you but must not be misleading. The Platform ID of Verified Users will be seen by other Users and Guests. If you are a Standard User, depending on the functionality you use within the Platform, some or all of your Platform ID may be seen by other Users and Guests on the Platform.
When registering you will be prompted to select a password. You must keep your password secure. We recommend that you change your password from time to time to assist with security.
If you believe someone has accessed the Platform using your details and password without your authorisation, it is your responsibility to set up a new password.
You can amend your personal details, your Platform ID (other than usernames), and your password at any time by accessing your Account via the Settings area.
Your Platform ID (and any element of it, for example your account name or profile image) must not: (i) be obscene or offensive, (ii) infringe any third party rights, (iii) mislead anyone as to your identity or (for Verified Users) the content available via your Channel, or (iv) otherwise (in our absolute discretion) be considered inappropriate. We may ask you to change any element of your Platform ID at any time, or change it directly ourselves (in which case we will send a message to your registered email address explaining this).
Deleting your Account or Content.
You can ask us to delete your Account at any time by selecting “Delete My Account” in the Settings area.
If you are a Standard User we will delete your Account within 30 days of receiving your request but we may retain relevant metadata (such as credit ledger history) on our systems for accounting and audit reasons for as long as is necessary to fulfil our legal and/or contractual obligations and/or for other legal purposes.
If you are a Verified User, within 30 days of receiving your request we will delete your Account and remove from the Platform your Channel and all of your Published Content. You also have the option of deleting Published Content at any time (see further section 6.5 of the Verified User Terms).
We may, however, retain your Published Content and related data (including your personal details, Profile ID, the dates you uploaded and published the Content, and other relevant metadata such as credit ledger history) on our systems beyond the date of deletion for accounting and audit reasons for as long as is necessary to fulfil our legal and/or contractual obligations and/or for other legal purposes.
You will have no right to retrieve your Content save as set out in our Privacy Policy For further information about how we retain your personal information following Account deletion, please see our Privacy Policy
We may suspend and/or permanently deactivate or delete your Account if we have reason to believe that you are in breach of these T&Cs.
Once we have deleted your Account and Content, it cannot be recovered. We recommend that you keep a copy of all of your Content.
You will no longer be able to earn Cast Credits and you will lose all Cast Credits that are credited to your Account when your Account is deleted or deactivated (subject to any refund you are entitled to in accordance with our Refund policy).
Cast credits
About Cast Credits.
Cast Credits are reward credits issued by us, and can only be used within the Platform. Cast Credits can either be purchased from us or can be earned within the Platform.
Cast Credits are only available from us, and we are the only entity that accepts Cast Credits. All Cast Credit transactions are made through us, meaning:
Cast Credits cannot be sold, transferred, traded or otherwise redeemed for monetary value.
Redeeming Cast Credits to watch Videos
You can redeem Cast Credits to View Videos on the Platform. The number of Cast Credits you need to redeem to View any Video (the “Price”) is stated on the preview of each Video.
If you want to watch more than the preview of a Video, click “keep watching” or “watch” and we will automatically deduct the number of Cast Credits equal to the Price from your Wallet (as defined in section 2.4).
Replays
Once you've Viewed a Video it will normally be accessible to View again (a “Replay”) in your “Library” without you needing to redeem any more Cast Credits for at least 7 days, unless:
Your Recast Wallet
You can check the number of Cast Credits you have available to redeem at any time via your Recast virtual wallet (your “Wallet”) in the Platform.
If you do not have sufficient Cast Credits in your Wallet to cover the Price of a Video you will not be able to watch it and you will need to earn or purchase more Cast Credits (see our Rewards Policy).
Earning Cast Credits
You can earn Cast Credits in accordance with our Rewards Policy
Purchasing Cast Credits
Cast Credits can only be purchased from us, and can only be used by redeeming them through us in accordance with these T&Cs.
When you purchase Cast Credits from us you will pay us in pound sterling (or such other currencies as we may accept from time to time) using the payment methods we accept (see further here). Upon receipt of your payment, we will automatically convert this to Cast Credits at the rate we specify when you purchase them.
Refunds
Cast Credits cannot be redeemed for cash. However, if you have purchased Cast Credits from us, our Refund policy applies.
Your responsibility for your Content
Whether you are a Standard User or a Verified User, you are solely responsible for all Content you upload or publish to the Platform (including all Videos, your Platform ID and anything else you upload or publish) and for the consequences of uploading and/or publishing such Content.
You confirm that:
We may (but are not obliged to) monitor and moderate your Content and the Content of other Users.
If we are notified, or become aware, that any of your Content infringes the rights of any third party and/or is otherwise in breach of these T&Cs (including our Acceptable Use Policy), we may unpublish or delete such infringing Content without prior notice to you. We may also, acting reasonably, disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that your Content infringes their intellectual property rights, right to privacy or other rights.
You will notify us without delay by emailing copyright@recast.app if you become aware that any of your Content is or becomes in breach of these T&Cs and you will provide us with any and all information and assistance that we require in order to identify and remove that Content from the Platform.

User Content & Raising Concerns
The Platform enables Users to display Content. We do not routinely review, monitor or moderate User Content and we cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of User Content.

It is a known risk of internet usage that people are not necessarily who they say they are. People may provide information or behave in a way that is unreliable, misleading, unlawful or illegal. We have no way of telling if statements made by other Users are true. You should therefore exercise some degree of caution when using any website or app. By using the Platform you accept that you use the Platform at your own risk.
If you have concerns of this nature in relation to any User or Content on the Platform please use the “Report” function available via the ellipsis (…) icon available on each Video.

We accept no liability for any disruption or non-availability of the Platform. We are under no obligation to update information on the Platform.

Your computer, tablet, smartphone, laptop or other device that you use for accessing the Platform must be of sufficient technical specification to be able to view Content in such formats and sizes as we provide.

Third party links
The Platform (and emails that we send to you in connection with the Platform) may include links to third party websites, applications and/or other digital properties (“Third Party Properties”) that are controlled and maintained by third parties. If you decide to visit any Third Party Properties or use a service made available through, or purchase products via, a Third Party Property, you do so at your own risk. It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to the reputation of the relevant third party and the services they offer.
We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or opinions expressed on Third Party Properties. Links that we make available to websites or services do not imply that we are, or our Platform is, affiliated to or associated with such websites or services.

Limit on liability
Consumers have certain legal rights when using our Platform. These are also known as “statutory rights” as they are derived from laws such as the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in these T&Cs affects these rights.
Further, nothing in these T&Cs excludes our liability:

We will have no liability for any damage caused by errors or omissions in any part of the Platform.
All warranties, representations, conditions and all other terms of any kind whatsoever implied by statute or common law are excluded from these T&Cs to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You will not assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under these T&Cs, without our prior written consent.
Waiver
A waiver of any right under these T&Cs or by law shall only be effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these T&Cs or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
Severance
If any provision (or part of a provision) of these T&Cs is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this section 12.3 shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these T&Cs.
Third Party Rights
These T&Cs are only enforceable by you and us. No term of these T&Cs shall be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (or otherwise) by anyone else.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These T&Cs and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.
If you are a consumer, you may have a right to bring a claim in your local jurisdiction. In all other cases, you and we agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with these T&Cs.
Raising concerns
If you have an enquiry or complaint about our Platform, please submit a support request at support@recast.app or use the Report functionality within the Platform.
If we are unable to resolve your complaint and you wish to raise a dispute or bring a claim against us, you agree to first seek to resolve this informally with us and if this is not possible, we will offer to engage in an impartial out-of-court dispute resolution procedure with you.
If you are a “consumer” (within the meaning of applicable UK consumer law) and you purchase Cast Credits on the Platform, you are entitled to a statutory 14 day window starting on the date you purchased the Cast Credits (the “Cooling-Off Period”) during which time you may cancel your purchase of any of those purchased Cast Credits that you have not used, and you can claim a refund in respect of them.
You agree that you will be able to start using the Cast Credits you have purchased during the Cooling-Off Period.
If you do use any of those purchased Cast Credits during the Cooling-Off Period (for example by redeeming them to watch Videos on the Platform) you will lose your right to a refund in respect of them.
There is no right to a refund in respect of any Cast Credits you have “earned” on the Platform in accordance with our Rewards Policy and you cannot cash these out.
If, during the relevant Cooling-Off Period, you would like to request a refund in respect of the Cast Credits purchased but that you have not yet used/redeemed, please submit a refund request via Partnersupport@recast.app and we will reimburse you the full amount of those un-used purchased Cast Credits within 14 days of your refund request. We will issue the refund to the same payment card that was used for the purchase transaction. Please note that you must submit your request for a refund before the expiry of the Cooling-Off Period.
When assessing how many “purchased” Cast Credits in your Wallet are un-used and eligible for a refund, any “earned” Cast Credits held within your Wallet will be deemed to have been used first, followed by “purchased” Cast Credits, and if you have purchased Cast Credits on more than one occasion (before all previously purchased Cast Credits have been used), the Cast Credits purchased first will be treated as used first.
If you are a business or corporate User, you are not entitled to any refunds on Cast Credits purchased on the Platform.
