About Castle
With one call, Castle provides you with expert guidance and resolution for your home repair and maintenance needs. Certified and vetted professionals are available, on your schedule, to provide quality assured service with upfront pricing and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Castle uses a network of professional household maintenance and repair contractors, and other service professionals (collectively, "Contractors") to simplify the process of finding a contractor, obtaining an estimate, scheduling service appointments, and getting your household maintenance and repairs done in a timely and professional manner. When you call Castle, our experts will discuss your home maintenance repair or service needs with you and arrange for an in-person assessment and estimate from our network of Contractors. If you choose to accept the estimate, Castle will work with you to schedule a convenient time for the maintenance or repair services, and when the work is done, Castle will ensure that it was completed to your satisfaction.
Castle repair and maintenance services are completed by qualified, licensed, and insured Contractors who have passed background checks. Completed repair and maintenance work comes with a 3-year, non-transferable workmanship warranty for the homeowner.
The Services are designed for homeowners for repairs and maintenance work that is not covered under your homeowner's insurance policy or under a product warranty or service plan. You should not use the Services if you rent your home.

Arbitration Agreement
ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN 358 VENTURES AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES MUST BE EXCLUSIVELY DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, US, BEFORE A SOLE ARBITRATOR AND UNDER THE THEN CURRENT RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. The awards of the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement prevents either party from seeking preliminary or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If a party seeks preliminary or interim relief from a court, the court will have the power to determine whether the court or the arbitrators have jurisdiction to hear the motion. All other disputes relating to the arbitrator’s jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim will be decided by the arbitrator.
By using the Services in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND ANY CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND 358 VENTURES AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE LAW. You may not under any circumstances commence, participate in or maintain against 358 Ventures and its affiliated companies any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.
