Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or registering on TaxSocial Pro ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. These terms apply to all users, including registered members, visitors, and contributors.

2. What TaxSocial Pro Is

TaxSocial Pro is a user-generated content platform for tax and finance professionals and enthusiasts in India. It is a social community — like Twitter or LinkedIn — where individuals share knowledge, analysis, and opinions. It is not a tax advisory firm, legal service, or financial planning service.

3. User Accounts

• You must provide accurate information during registration.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.
• One person, one account. Creating multiple accounts to evade bans is prohibited.
• You must be at least 18 years old to register.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting, you grant TaxSocial Pro a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and store that content on the Platform.

You are solely responsible for your content. You represent that:

• You have the right to post it.
• It does not infringe any third-party rights.
• It complies with applicable Indian laws.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to post or engage in:

• Spam, bulk solicitation, or unsolicited promotional content
• Impersonation of any person, firm, or regulatory body (ICAI, CBDT, MCA, etc.)
• Content that is defamatory, obscene, or harassing
• Content that violates the IT Act 2000, IPC, or any other Indian law
• Providing fabricated legal citations, fake case laws, or deliberately misleading tax information
• Scraping, crawling, or automated data extraction without written permission

6. Professional Credentials

Users may self-declare credentials (CA, CS, CMA, Advocate, etc.) on their profile. TaxSocial Pro does not independently verify these credentials. The community is expected to self-regulate through engagement and reporting. Falsely claiming credentials you do not hold is a violation of these terms.

7. Platform Liability

TaxSocial Pro is an intermediary platform as defined under the IT Act 2000 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. We are not responsible for user-generated content. We do not verify the accuracy of any tax, legal, or financial information posted on the Platform.

8. Intellectual Property

The TaxSocial Pro brand, logo, and platform design are proprietary. You may not use them without written permission. User-generated content remains the intellectual property of the respective authors.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates these terms, at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately. Content you posted may remain visible unless you have deleted it prior to termination.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will attempt to notify registered users of material changes via email or platform notification.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [Mumbai / Delhi — to be confirmed], India.
