Podanur.com Terms of Service
What’s covered in these terms
We know it’s tempting to skip these Terms of Service, but it’s important to establish what you can expect from us as you use Podanur.com services, and what we expect from you.
These Terms of Service reflect the way Podanur.com business works, the laws that apply to our company and certain things we’ve always believed to be true. As a result, these Terms of Service help define Podanur.com relationship with you as you interact with our services. For example, these terms include the following topic headings:
What you can expect from us, which describes how we provide and develop our services
What we expect from you, which establishes certain rules for using our services
Content in Podanur.com services, which describes the intellectual property rights to the content you find in our services — whether that content belongs to you, Podanur.com, or others
In case of problems or disagreements, which describes other legal rights you have, and what to expect in case someone violates these terms
Understanding these terms is important because, by accessing or using our services, you’re agreeing to these terms.
Besides these terms, we also publish a Privacy Policy. Although it’s not part of these terms, we encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information.

Our service-specific additional terms and policies, such as our Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy, provide additional details about appropriate conduct that everyone using those services must follow. If you find that others are not following these rules, many of our services allow you to report abuse. If we act on a report of abuse, we also provide the process described in the Taking action in case of problems section.
Do not abuse our services
Most people who access or use our services understand the general rules that keep the internet safe and open. Unfortunately, a small number of people do not respect those rules, so we’re describing them here to protect our services and users from abuse. In that spirit:

introducing malware
spamming, hacking, or bypassing our systems or protective measures
jailbreaking, adversarial prompting, or prompt injection, except as part of our safety and bug testing programmes

If you choose to upload or share content, please make sure you have the necessary rights to do so and that the content is lawful.
Licence
Your content remains yours, which means that you retain any intellectual property rights that you have in your content. For example, you have intellectual property rights in the creative content you make. Or you may have the right to share someone else’s creative content if they’ve given you their permission.

What’s not covered
This licence does not affect your privacy rights — it’s only about your intellectual property rights

publicly-available factual information that you provide, such as corrections to the address of a local business. That information does not require a licence because it’s considered common knowledge that everyone’s free to use.

Other content
Finally, some of our services give you access to content that belongs to other people or organisations — for example, a store owner’s description of their own business, or a newspaper article displayed in Podanur.com. You may not use this content without that person or organisation’s permission, or as otherwise allowed by law.
The licence we give you is:
worldwide, which means it is valid anywhere in the world
non-exclusive, which means that we can license the software to others
royalty-free, which means there are no monetary fees for this licence
personal, which means it does not extend to anyone else
non-assignable, which means you are not allowed to assign the licence to anyone else
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our services or resources.

Both the law and these terms give you the right to (1) a certain quality of service, and (2) ways to fix problems if things go wrong.

Do not rely on the services for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Any content regarding those topics is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Liabilities
For all business uploaders
Both the law and these terms try to strike a balance as to what you or Podanur.com can claim from the other in case of problems. That’s why the law requires everyone to be responsible for certain liabilities—but not others—under these terms.
These terms only limit our responsibilities as allowed by applicable law. These terms do not limit liability for:
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
death or personal injury caused by negligence
gross negligence
willful misconduct

If you are a business user or organisation:
Podanur.com will not be responsible for the following liabilities:
loss of profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill, or anticipated savings indirect or consequential losses.
Taking action in case of problems
Before taking action as described below, we’ll provide you with advance notice when reasonably possible, describe the reason for our action, and give you an opportunity to clarify the issue and address it, unless we reasonably believe that doing so would:
cause harm or liability to a user, third party, or Podanur.com
violate the law or a legal enforcement authority’s order
compromise an investigation
compromise the operation, integrity, or security of our services
Removing your content
If we reasonably believe that any of your content (1) breaches these terms, service-specific additional terms or policies, (2) violates applicable law, or (3) could harm our users, third parties, or Podanur.com, then we reserve the right to take down some or all of that content in accordance with applicable law. Examples include child pornography, content that facilitates human trafficking or harassment, terrorist content, and content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights.
Suspending or terminating your access to Podanur.com services
Without limiting any of our other rights, Podanur.com may suspend or terminate your access to the services or delete your Business Profile if any of these things happen:
you materially or repeatedly breach these terms, service-specific additional terms or policies
we’re required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order
we reasonably believe that your conduct causes harm or liability to a user, third party, or Podanur.com — for example, by hacking, phishing, harassing, spamming, misleading others, or scraping content that does not belong to you
For more information about why we disable accounts and what happens when we do, If you believe your Business Profile has been suspended or terminated in error, you can appeal.
Of course, you’re always free to stop using our services at any time. If you do stop using a service, we’d appreciate knowing why so that we can continue improving our services.

About these terms
By law, you have certain rights that cannot be limited by a contract like these terms of service. These terms are in no way intended to restrict those rights.
These terms describe the relationship between you and Podanur.com. They do not create any legal rights for other people or organisations, even if others benefit from that relationship under these terms.
We want to make these terms easy to understand, so we’ve used examples from our services. But not all services mentioned may be available in your country.
If these terms conflict with the service-specific additional terms, the additional terms will govern for that service.
If it turns out that a particular term is not valid or enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.
If you do not follow these terms or the service-specific additional terms, and we do not take action right away, that does not mean we’re giving up any rights that we may have, such as taking action in the future.
We may update these terms and service-specific additional terms (1) to reflect changes in our services or how we do business — for example, when we add new services, features, technologies, pricing, or benefits (or remove old ones), (2) for legal, regulatory, or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm.
If we materially change these terms or service-specific additional terms, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to review the changes, except (1) when we launch a new service or feature, or (2) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. If you do not agree to the new terms, you should remove your content and stop using the services. You can also end your relationship with us at any time by closing your Podanur.com Business Profile.
