These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of LitigationLawyer.in and its content. By visiting the website, subscribing to our newsletter, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. Please read them together with our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and BCI Compliance Notice, which form part of your agreement with us.
1. Who we are and what this website is
LitigationLawyer.in is an independent Indian legal information and litigation news publication. We publish journalism and educational content about the Indian legal system — court judgments, legislation, legal profession news, analysis, and explanatory guides. LitigationLawyer.in is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, do not represent clients, and do not solicit work for any advocate. Using this website, subscribing to our newsletter, or contacting our editorial desk does not create an advocate–client relationship, and nothing here is a substitute for advice from a qualified advocate who knows the facts of your situation.
2. Eligibility
You may use this website if you are able to form a binding contract under applicable law and are not barred from doing so. If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.
3. The content we publish
We take care to report accurately and to cite our sources, and we correct errors when we find them, as described in our Editorial Policy, Fact-Checking Policy, and Corrections page. Nevertheless, our content is provided for general information and education. The law changes, applies differently to different facts, and turns on details that general content cannot capture. Coverage reflects the position at the time of writing; judgments may be appealed, stayed, or modified, and legislation may be amended or notified on different timelines. You should always verify the current position against primary sources before relying on it.
4. Intellectual property and permitted use
Unless otherwise stated, the content on LitigationLawyer.in — including text, headlines, graphics, logos, and the arrangement of the site — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You may:
- read, view, and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use;
- quote short excerpts for the purpose of reporting, comment, criticism, or education, provided you attribute the quote clearly to “LitigationLawyer.in” and, where online, link to the original article (fair dealing).
You may not, without our prior written permission: republish full articles or substantial parts of them; systematically copy, scrape, or harvest our content; frame or present our content as your own or as legal advice; or use our name, logo, or brand in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation that does not exist. Requests for republication or syndication can be sent to editorial@litigationlawyer.in.
5. Acceptable use
You agree to use the website lawfully and responsibly. In particular, you agree not to: use the website in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation; interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the website or its infrastructure; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, its servers, or connected systems; introduce malware or other harmful code; or use automated means to access the website in a manner that burdens our systems. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to anyone who misuses the website.
6. Comments and reader submissions
Where we enable comments or accept submissions, tips, or pitches, the following applies. You are responsible for the content you submit, and you must not submit anything that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, infringing, misleading, or that discloses information you are not entitled to share. Comments are moderated, and we may edit, decline, or remove any submission at our discretion, including content that solicits legal services, promotes an advocate’s practice, or otherwise conflicts with Bar Council of India rules or our editorial standards. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, edit, and publish it in connection with the website and our related channels, and you confirm that the content is yours to submit and does not infringe the rights of others.
7. Third-party links
Our content links to external sources — such as court websites, official gazettes, and other publications — so that readers can verify information. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. When you follow an external link, the terms and policies of that site apply.
8. No warranties
The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we work hard to be accurate, current, and reliable, we do not warrant that the content is complete, accurate, up to date, or error-free, that the website will be uninterrupted or secure, or that defects will be corrected. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LitigationLawyer.in, its team, and its contributors will not be liable for any loss or damage — including indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss — arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the website or its content, or your reliance on any information published here. Because our content is educational and journalistic and is not legal advice, you rely on it at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LitigationLawyer.in and its team from any claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website, or content you submit.
11. Changes to the website and to these Terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date on this page, and your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory rights you may have under local law, you agree that the courts of competent jurisdiction in India will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the website.
13. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent to editorial@litigationlawyer.in. For how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy; for the nature and limits of our content, see our Disclaimer.
These Terms are provided for transparency and do not themselves constitute legal advice.
