Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of SmartLiveReport. By using the website, a reader agrees to comply with these terms and applicable law. A person who does not agree should discontinue use of the website.

Informational purpose

SmartLiveReport publishes news, current affairs, explanatory material, and related content for general informational purposes. Content should not be treated as personalised legal, financial, medical, investment, or other professional advice.

Permitted use

Readers may access and share links to publicly available pages for lawful, personal, and non-abusive purposes. Limited quotation may be made where permitted by applicable law and accompanied by appropriate attribution and a link to the relevant page.

Prohibited use

Users must not unlawfully copy, republish, sell, scrape, interfere with, overload, reverse engineer, bypass access controls, impersonate another person, introduce malicious code, misuse account features, or use the website to violate the rights of SmartLiveReport or any third party.

SmartLiveReport content

Unless otherwise stated, the original selection, arrangement, presentation, branding, design, and editorial expression created by SmartLiveReport are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Publication on the website does not grant ownership or a general republication licence.

Third-party material

Names, trademarks, logos, quotations, documents, photographs, videos, graphics, and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on the website does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or a transfer of rights.

Copyright and takedown policy

SmartLiveReport respects intellectual-property rights and will review sufficiently detailed notices alleging that material published on the website infringes copyright or another protected right.

Submitting a copyright complaint

For a complaint concerning a specific page, use the Page Review / Compliance Issue option on that page. The notice should include:

• the complainant's full name and reliable contact details;
• identification of the protected work or material;
• the exact SmartLiveReport URL and the material complained of;
• an explanation of the complainant's ownership or authority;
• the reason the use is believed to be unauthorised;
• supporting documents or source links where available; and
• a statement that the information supplied is accurate and submitted in good faith.

A vague notice that does not identify the relevant work, URL, rights holder, or basis of complaint may require clarification before it can be assessed.

Review and possible action

SmartLiveReport may investigate the notice, request additional information, temporarily restrict access, correct attribution, replace material, remove material, or reject the request where the complaint is unsupported or the use appears to have a valid basis.

Relevant considerations may include ownership, licence, permission, public availability, amount used, purpose, attribution, public interest, applicable statutory exceptions, and other rights or defences recognised by law.

Response from the affected contributor or source

Where appropriate, SmartLiveReport may seek information from the person who supplied or published the material. A response should identify the disputed content and explain the claimed permission, ownership, licence, or other lawful basis for its use.

Repeated misuse

SmartLiveReport may restrict accounts, submissions, or access connected with repeated infringement, fraudulent notices, abusive complaints, or deliberate misuse of the reporting process.

User submissions

A user submitting comments, messages, documents, photographs, tips, or other material represents that the submission is lawful and that the user has the necessary authority to provide it. The user must not submit defamatory, infringing, private, threatening, fraudulent, malicious, or unlawful material.

External services and links

Links and embedded services may lead to third-party websites. SmartLiveReport does not control their availability, security, content, or policies and does not guarantee or endorse every external statement.

Availability and changes

The website or any feature may be changed, suspended, restricted, or discontinued. SmartLiveReport does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

Limitation

To the extent permitted by applicable law, SmartLiveReport is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from reliance on general informational content, external services, technical interruption, or unauthorised third-party activity.

Relationship with other policies

These terms should be read with the Editorial Policy, AI Content Policy, Corrections Policy, Privacy and Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, and Grievance Redressal page.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
