Terms and Conditions
Last updated: July 2026
These terms govern your use of telangana.social (the "platform"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
About the platform
Telangana.Social is an independent, Telangana-first news, analysis, and commentary platform. Much of our content is produced through editorial systems with human oversight, under our published editorial standards. Some content is opinion, satire, or advocacy, and is labelled as such where it applies.
Not professional advice
Content on the platform is for general information and public-interest commentary. It is not legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice, and should not be relied on as such.
Accuracy and opinion
We strive for accuracy and correct errors when we find them. News and commentary are, however, produced under time pressure and may contain mistakes or evolving information. Opinion, satire, and advocacy pieces reflect the viewpoint of the platform, not statements of fact, and are marked accordingly. See our standards and fairness pages.
Your use of the platform
You agree not to:
- use the platform unlawfully or to infringe others' rights;
- submit content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or deceptive;
- attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, or gain unauthorised access to the platform.
Contributions you make
If you submit content — for example a civic-map report, a message, or a reaction — you confirm it is truthful to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to submit it. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, and display that content in connection with operating the platform and its public-interest reporting. We may moderate, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion.
Intellectual property
Except for third-party material and user contributions, the content and design of the platform are owned by Telangana.Social or its licensors. You may share and quote our work with attribution and a link; you may not republish it wholesale or present it as your own.
Third-party links
The platform links to and cites external sources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites.
Disclaimers
The platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Telangana.Social will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the platform.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, for any disputes.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the updated terms.
