  • It is a significant risk for Setindiabiz and all online system operators that we may be held accountable for the actions of our users.

In that case, we might be held accountable even though we merely transmit messages from one user to another without our knowledge.
  • Therefore, we request all users take responsibility for their actions and understand that any damage caused by another user cannot be attributed to us but only to the user who caused the damage.
  • Although we strive to provide users with reliable and high-quality systems, we may experience errors or system failures from time to time. Such issues are unavoidable when running a system of this magnitude. If we had to accept blame or financial liability for any system malfunction, errors, or damages, we would be unable to provide this service to users.

The user acknowledges that no advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Setindiabiz shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
    • Limitation of Liability: The user acknowledges that Setindiabiz will not be held responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that may occur due to the use or inability to use the services provided. This includes any costs incurred from procuring substitute goods or services and any resulting damages from any goods or services purchased, obtained, or messages received or transactions entered into through the service. Additionally, Setindiabiz will not be liable for any damages resulting from unauthorised access or alteration of user’s transmissions or data, such as loss of profits, use, data, or other intangibles, even if Setindiabiz was made aware of the possibility of such damages. The user further agrees that Setindiabiz will not be liable for any damages arising from interruption, suspension, or termination of service, including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages. It should be noted that such interruption, suspension, or termination could be justified, negligent, intentional, or accidental.
    • ARBITRATION: Any dispute or claim arising from or related to these Terms and Conditions or Setindiabiz services will be resolved through binding arbitration by Indian laws.
