Terms of Service

01 About us & acceptance

This website is operated by Databery, based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

02 Use of the website

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to misuse it, including by attempting to gain unauthorised access, introducing malicious code, scraping at a scale that disrupts the service, or using it in any way that breaches applicable law or infringes the rights of others.

03 Intellectual property

All content on this website (text, design, graphics, the Databery name and logo, and the arrangement of it) is owned by or licensed to Databery and is protected by intellectual property law. You may view and share links to the site, but you may not copy, reproduce, or reuse its content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

04 Research services

Any research engagement is governed by a separate written agreement or statement of work, which sets out the scope, fees, timelines, and specific terms. Where those documents conflict with these general terms, the signed engagement documents prevail. Nothing on this website is an offer capable of acceptance, a quotation, or a binding commitment to perform work.

05 Nature of our research

We carry out our research with reasonable skill and care, drawing on primary sources and information we believe to be reliable, and we apply a verification standard to our findings. However:

• Research deals with incomplete and changing information. We do not warrant that findings are complete, error-free, or that any particular outcome will follow from acting on them.
• Our work is not financial, investment, legal, tax, or other regulated professional advice, and must not be relied on as such.
• Decisions you take, and their commercial results, are your own responsibility. We are not liable for the consequences of decisions made using our research.
• Where an honest answer is a range or an estimate, we say so; you should read findings together with the caveats we provide.

06 Confidentiality

We treat information you share with us in the course of an engagement as confidential, and we expect the same treatment of our methods, proposals, and deliverables. Full confidentiality obligations are set out in the engagement agreement. We keep the identity of our clients confidential unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.

07 Rights in deliverables

On full payment of the relevant fees, we grant you a licence to use the deliverables we produce for the internal business purpose for which they were commissioned. We retain ownership of our methodologies, know-how, tools, and any general knowledge or techniques used or developed in providing the services. You may not resell or publish our deliverables without our written consent.

08 Disclaimers

This website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, conditions, and representations not expressly stated in these terms, including any implied warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.

09 Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, or anticipated savings.
• Our total liability arising out of or in connection with the website is limited to INR 10,000.
• Our total liability in connection with any research engagement is limited to the fees paid by you for that engagement, and is otherwise governed by the engagement agreement.

10 Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites. We provide those links for convenience and do not control or endorse the linked sites, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

11 Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction.

12 Changes & contact

We may update these terms from time to time; the date above shows the latest version. For any question, contact abisho@databery.com.
