Headlines, summaries and selected articles are free. Other articles and their documents are available to subscribers.

2. Not Professional Advice

We work to keep content accurate and cite our sources, but we do not guarantee that it is complete, current or free of errors. Any reliance on content is at your own risk.

3. User Eligibility and Accounts

By using Corporate Pulse, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years of age or have parental/guardian consent

4. Subscriptions and Payments

• Subscriptions are offered as Monthly and Annual plans at the prices shown on our Pricing page
• Access starts as soon as your payment succeeds and lasts until the end of the period you paid for

• Prices are in Indian Rupees (₹). Applicable taxes, including GST, are shown at checkout and on your invoice
• Payments are processed through Razorpay, a secure third-party payment gateway. We do not store card, UPI or bank details
• Receipts and invoices will be emailed to you after each payment and will be available in your account page

• A subscription is for your personal use and may not be shared with others

5. Comments and Acceptable Use

You may comment on articles under your account name. You agree not to post or do anything that:

• Is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, hateful, obscene or harassing
• Infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights
• Contains spam, advertising or links to harmful or unrelated sites
• Impersonates another person or misrepresents your affiliation
• Shares other people's personal information
• Tries to break, overload or get around the security or paywall of the site, including by automated scraping

You are responsible for what you post. We may remove comments and suspend accounts that break these rules, without notice. Comments reflect the views of their authors, not of Corporate Pulse.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on Corporate Pulse, including articles, Pulse editions, documents, graphics and the Corporate Pulse name and logo, belongs to Shobi Group or its licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law.

• You may read content and download attached documents for your own personal or internal professional use
• You may share links to articles and short quotations with a credit to Corporate Pulse
• You may not copy, republish, sell or distribute subscriber articles or documents, in whole or in part, without our written permission

By posting a comment, you allow us to display it on Corporate Pulse.

7. Events

• Events listed on Corporate Pulse are organised and run by the organiser named on the event page, not by Corporate Pulse
• When you register, your details are shared with the organiser for that event, and an entry ticket (a QR code) is emailed to you
• Each ticket admits one person, once. Do not share or copy it. Registering again with the same email replaces the earlier ticket
• Any entry fee shown is paid to the organiser at the venue before entry. It is not collected by Corporate Pulse
• The organiser may refuse entry, change or cancel the event. Corporate Pulse is not responsible for the event, its content or its conduct
• We may cancel registrations that are fake, duplicated or made to misuse the service

8. Third-Party Links

Articles link to original sources and other websites. These websites are run by others; we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Corporate Pulse shall not be liable for:

• Decisions made or actions taken based on content on the site
• Errors, omissions or delays in content, or changes in the law after publication
• Any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of the site
• Loss of data, revenue or profits
• Interruptions or unavailability of the service

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms is limited to the subscription amount you paid in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Suspension and Termination

You can stop using Corporate Pulse at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or if required by law. Sections on intellectual property, limitation of liability and governing law continue to apply after your account ends.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when they last changed. We will tell you about important changes by email or on the website; continuing to use Corporate Pulse after that means you accept them.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising under or in connection with them shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bangalore, Karnataka.
