Certain areas of the Sites may enable users to share, create, link, upload, or exchange their own Content (User-Generated Content). You are solely responsible for the content of any User-Generated Content you make available through the Sites and for any harm resulting from it, regardless of its form. We are not responsible for any misuse of your User-Generated Content by third parties.

The Sites and the Content are owned by the Trust and its licensors and are protected under copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws and treaties.

Access to and use of certain areas of the Sites may require you to register for an account and set up a username and password, and may require you to agree to separate terms. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration or login form, and you are responsible for keeping that information up to date. Your username and password are for your exclusive use only; sharing your credentials with another user or using someone else’s credentials is not permitted and may result in the immediate blocking of your access to the applicable Site. You are responsible and liable for all activities conducted through your account, regardless of who conducts those activities. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information, including your username and password. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

The Sites may display, include, or make available third-party content (including User-Generated Content, data, information, applications, and other products, services, and/or materials) or provide links to third-party websites or services (collectively, “Third Party Materials”). You acknowledge and agree that the Trust is not responsible for Third Party Materials, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect thereof.

We may provide the Sites to you through third-party websites, operating systems, platforms, and portals (collectively, “Third-Party Platforms”). Additional terms and conditions will apply to you regarding your use of Third-Party Platforms, which are not under our control. We do not assume any responsibility or liability for your use of such Third-Party Platforms.
We reserve the right to make changes to, suspend, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the Sites or any portion thereof (including any Content) at any time. You agree that the Trust will not be liable to you or any third party for any such changes, suspensions, or discontinuances.

By subscribing or opting in for such material, you authorize the Trust to send you emails or other communications regarding its offerings. This authorization shall remain in effect unless and until you notify us in writing that it is revoked, or until you unsubscribe from receiving such material using the unsubscribe button provided in the email.
The Trust has the right to deny access to, and to suspend or terminate, your access to the Sites or any features or portions thereof, at any time and for any reason, including if you violate these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will the Trust or its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, or service providers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Sites or the Content, including but not limited to loss of revenue, profits, or business; loss of use; or loss of data, whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise, even if foreseeable. Use of the Sites and the Content is at your sole risk.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or consequential damages, so some of the exclusions and/or limitations in Section 12 may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Trust and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments , awards, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from your use of the Sites and/or any Content or any violation of these Terms or applicable law.

The communications between you and us via the Sites use electronic means. For contractual purposes, you consent to receive communications from us in electronic form, and you agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
The Sites are provided from, and the Trust is based in, India. We make no representation that the Sites or the Content are accessible, appropriate, or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Sites from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sites (including the Content) shall be instituted exclusively in the courts located in Bangalore, India. You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, waived, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent possible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
These Terms constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
If you have any questions about the Site or any complaints or concerns regarding these Terms, please write to us at [info@murtytrust.org] to engage in good faith resolution before further escalation.
