Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of Masala Deutsch (masaladeutsch.blogspot.com, "this site"), an independent publication written and edited by Umashankar Triplicane Dwarakanathan. By reading the site you accept them. They are deliberately short; the Editorial Policy & Disclaimer and the Privacy Policy cover how articles are made and how data is handled.
What the site is for
This site publishes analysis of India's trade, energy, industrial and agricultural policy, drawn from public official sources. It is provided for general information and discussion. It is not financial, investment, tax, legal or professional advice, and nothing on it is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, commodity or product. Decisions you make on the basis of anything read here are your own; where a figure matters to a real decision, verify it against the primary source the article cites.
Accuracy and warranties
Reasonable care is taken to make the content accurate and to cite sources, and errors are corrected visibly once found (see the Editorial Policy). Even so, the site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Government data is revised, prices move, and policies change; an article describes the position at the date it carries.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or anything linked from it, including indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Copyright and permitted reuse
Text and original charts on this site are © the author. You may quote short passages, with attribution and a link to the article, for comment, review, research or news reporting. Reproducing whole articles, charts or datasets, or using the site's content to train or fine-tune automated systems, requires prior written permission (see the Contact page). Government documents, statistics and gazette notifications quoted or linked are in the public domain or used under fair dealing; the underlying data belongs to its publishers. Third-party material is credited where used.
Links to other sites
Articles link to primary sources and, occasionally, to products or books through affiliate links (disclosed in the Privacy Policy and the Editorial Policy). Linked sites are not under the author's control and no responsibility is accepted for their content, availability or practices.
Advertising
The site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertisers do not influence the topics covered or the conclusions reached. Your interaction with an advertisement is between you and the advertiser.
Acceptable use
Do not use the site in a way that interferes with its operation or other readers' use of it, scrape it at a rate that burdens the host, or misrepresent its content as your own or as the author's endorsement of anything.
Changes and governing law
These terms may be updated; the effective date above changes when they are. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any dispute is subject to the courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
