Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using https://www.faultlineglobal.com (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
The content
Faultline Global publishes one brief a day across five sections — Briefings, Science, Culture, Analysis, and Case Studies. Content on the Site reflects editorial judgment and, where noted, individual opinion. It is provided for general information purposes only. It is not professional, financial, medical, legal, or investment advice, and shouldn’t be relied on as a substitute for consulting a qualified professional about your specific situation.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise credited, all text, graphics, and other original content on the Site is owned by Faultline Global or its contributors and protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws. You’re welcome to share links to our content and quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original. Beyond that, you may not republish, redistribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission.
User conduct
You agree not to use the Site to violate any applicable law; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its accounts, or its underlying systems; to interfere with the Site’s normal operation, including through disruptive scraping, denial-of-service attempts, or similar conduct; or to misrepresent your affiliation with Faultline Global.
Third-party links and advertising
The Site may link to third-party websites and may display advertising served through Google Ads/AdSense. We don’t control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, products, or practices — including privacy practices — of any third-party site or advertiser. Any dealings you have with advertisers or linked sites are solely between you and them.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and all content on it are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. Faultline Global makes no representation or warranty that the Site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or secure, or that any information on it is accurate, complete, reliable, or current, and makes no assurance whatsoever regarding the outcome of relying on any content published here.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Faultline Global and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of — or inability to access or use — the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the Site is provided free of charge, Faultline Global’s total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall not exceed INR 5,000.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Faultline Global and its contributors from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under the law of your own country, you agree that the courts of India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
