Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of The Indus Pulse at https://www.theinduspulse.com and the features made available through the website (the "Platform"). The Indus Pulse is an independent digital publication covering news, markets, technology, business, public affairs, and related subjects.

By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie & Local Storage Policy, Editorial Standards, Financial Disclaimer, and Corrections & Clarifications Policy, where applicable. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

1. Scope of the Platform

The Platform provides editorial coverage, explanatory and analytical material, market information, data-driven features, calculators, and other reader services that may change over time. Market data may be real-time, delayed, end-of-day, or otherwise time-lagged depending on the source and licensing arrangement.

We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features, categories, feeds, account functions, or other services when reasonably necessary for editorial, operational, legal, security, or product reasons.

2. Permitted Use

You may access and use the Platform for lawful personal, informational, research, and other legitimate purposes consistent with these Terms and applicable law.

Public news content is intended for a general audience. If you use an account feature, submit personal information, or use a feature for which applicable law requires parental or guardian involvement, you are responsible for meeting those requirements.

3. Editorial Content, Technology & Corrections

The Indus Pulse uses source-based, technology-assisted editorial workflows for tasks such as research organization, drafting, data processing, formatting, and publishing support. The Indus Pulse remains responsible for the content it publishes and applies its published sourcing, attribution, correction, and editorial standards.

Editorial content may be updated as facts develop. Material factual corrections and clarifications are handled under our Corrections & Clarifications Policy. To report a possible factual error, contact corrections@theinduspulse.com.

Analysis, context, estimates, forecasts, third-party opinions, and reported statements should not be treated as independently established facts merely because they appear on the Platform. Our Editorial Standards describe the principles we use for sourcing and presentation.

4. Financial & Market Information

Financial, market, commodity, currency, company, and economic information is published for general journalistic and informational purposes. The Indus Pulse is not a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser or Research Analyst, and publication of market information does not constitute personalized investment, trading, tax, or legal advice.

Market prices, calculations, estimates, and third-party data may be delayed, incomplete, revised, or subject to provider-specific terms. Before making a financial decision, use the original market or regulatory source where appropriate and seek advice from a suitably qualified professional. See the Financial Disclaimer for more information.

5. Intellectual Property & Attribution

Unless otherwise stated, original text, layouts, graphics, branding, software, and other material created for The Indus Pulse are owned by or licensed to The Indus Pulse and are protected to the extent provided by applicable intellectual property law. Third-party material remains the property of its respective owner and may be used or referenced under licence, permission, attribution, statutory exception, or other lawful basis.

You may share links to our pages. You may also quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link to the original page. Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights that cannot lawfully be restricted, including applicable statutory exceptions such as fair dealing.

The Indus Pulse name, logo, and associated branding may not be used in a way that falsely implies sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or authorship.

6. Automated Access, Scraping & AI Training

Search engines and other services may crawl publicly accessible pages in accordance with our published technical controls, including robots.txt, and applicable law. Apart from such permitted access, you may not use automated means to systematically extract, reproduce, republish, or commercially exploit substantial portions of the Platform without our written permission or another lawful basis.

You may not use substantial portions of our original content to create or distribute commercial datasets, or to train, fine-tune, benchmark, ground, or otherwise develop machine-learning or generative-AI systems, without written authorization, except to the extent such use is permitted by applicable law. These contractual restrictions do not enlarge or replace rights and remedies available under applicable law.

7. Accounts & Security

If account features are available, you are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting your access credentials, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access. We may restrict or suspend an account where reasonably necessary to address abuse, security incidents, legal obligations, or material violations of these Terms.

Information about account data, authentication storage, and related privacy practices is available in our Privacy Policy and Cookie & Local Storage Policy.

8. Reader Submissions & Communications

If you send us a correction request, story tip, feedback, document, image, or other material, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and that doing so does not knowingly violate another person's rights or applicable law.

Sending material to us does not guarantee publication, investigation, response, confidentiality, or compensation. Standard email should not be treated as an end-to-end encrypted channel for highly sensitive information.

9. Advertising, Sponsorship & External Services

The Platform may display advertising supplied by third-party advertising providers. The presence of an advertisement does not constitute an editorial endorsement of the advertiser, product, service, or claim. If sponsored or paid editorial content is introduced, it will be identified in a manner intended to distinguish it from independent editorial coverage.

The Platform may also link to third-party websites, data providers, market sources, social platforms, or other external services. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and policies.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You must not use the Platform to:

• break applicable law or knowingly infringe another person's rights;
• impersonate another person or falsely represent an affiliation with The Indus Pulse;
• interfere with the security, availability, or normal operation of the Platform;
• introduce malware, malicious code, or unauthorized access attempts;
• circumvent reasonable technical restrictions or access controls;
• use the Platform in a fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or harassing manner; or
• systematically reproduce or commercially exploit content in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

11. Privacy & Browser Technologies

Our handling of personal information, account information, advertising technologies, analytics, browser storage, and operational logging is described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie & Local Storage Policy. Those policies should be read together with these Terms.

12. Accuracy, Availability & No Warranty

We work to keep the Platform useful and accurate, but news develops, source information may change, market data may be delayed, and technical services may occasionally be unavailable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform and its content are provided on an "as available" basis and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that every item will remain error-free, complete, or current at all times.

Nothing in these Terms excludes responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where you rely on information for a significant legal, financial, medical, safety, or other consequential decision, you should verify the relevant primary source and obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, The Indus Pulse is not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on third-party information, temporary service interruptions, external websites, or decisions made using general informational content where the relevant information should reasonably have been independently verified. This limitation does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

14. Grievances, Corrections & Legal Notices

We provide separate channels so that editorial corrections, general grievances, and legal communications can be handled appropriately. Where a statutory process applies, we will handle the communication in accordance with the applicable requirements.

• Corrections: corrections@theinduspulse.com
• General grievances: grievance@theinduspulse.com
• Legal notices and licensing: legal@theinduspulse.com
• General contact: contact@theinduspulse.com

These contact details do not by themselves represent or imply membership in any external self-regulatory body or appointment to a statutory role that has not been formally made.

15. Governing Law, Changes & Severability

These Terms are governed by applicable Indian law. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts or other competent authorities determined under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

We may revise these Terms when our services, legal obligations, or operating practices change. The current version and effective date will be published on this page. Material changes will apply prospectively except where applicable law requires otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
