Copyright

All website content, including website information, text, images, graphics, videos, directories, files, databases, listings, and other materials available on or through the website (“DLI Content”), is owned by or licensed to Distributors Link India (DLI), except for third-party content and links to third-party websites. Users may not use any trademark, service mark, or logo belonging to an independent third party without obtaining prior written permission from the relevant owner. Users acknowledge and agree that DLI does not act as an arbiter or judge in disputes concerning intellectual property rights and cannot independently verify whether users listing or offering products or services on the website have the legal right to sell such products or provide such services. DLI encourages users to report listings that they reasonably believe infringe their intellectual property rights. The removal of a listing by DLI shall not be interpreted as an admission or confirmation that infringement has occurred. Similarly, a decision not to remove a listing shall not be interpreted as confirmation that the listing is lawful or that the products or services offered through it are endorsed by DLI.

DLI respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Users agree not to copy, download, reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute, or commercially exploit DLI Content for purposes such as mass mailing, operating a competing business, or creating commercial databases or directories, unless expressly authorized in writing by DLI. Systematic retrieval of DLI Content, whether through robots, spiders, automated tools, or manual processes, for the purpose of creating or compiling collections, databases, or directories without prior written permission from DLI is prohibited.

Any use of DLI Content for a purpose not expressly permitted under these Terms and Conditions is prohibited and may result in suspension or termination of access to the website and/or appropriate legal action, subject to applicable law. As a condition of accessing and using DLI’s services, users agree not to use the website or its services to infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. DLI reserves the right to suspend or terminate a user’s access to its services if the user infringes third-party rights, engages in conduct prejudicial to the interests of DLI, its affiliates, or other users, or otherwise violates these Terms and Conditions, subject to applicable law.

URLs / Subdomains

Any URL or subdomain assigned or provided by DLI to users, whether paid or free, shall remain subject to DLI’s ownership or control, as applicable, and shall not be considered permanently assigned or guaranteed for any particular duration unless expressly agreed in writing.

DLI reserves the right to suspend, terminate, restrict access to, or modify any such URL or subdomain where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and any contractual commitments made to the user. To the extent permitted by applicable law, DLI shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or business interruption, arising from such suspension, termination, restriction, or modification.

If you do not agree to these terms, you must discontinue using the website and Services.

V. SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGES, FEES AND PAYMENTS

DLI may offer free and paid services. Paid services may be available through subscription packages or separately agreed commercial arrangements.
The package price, applicable taxes, subscription period, payment schedule and service inclusions shall be communicated to the User before or at the time of purchase.

Users may not transfer, resell or assign a subscription or service entitlement to another person or entity without DLI's prior written consent.
Any renewal, upgrade, downgrade or extension shall be subject to the applicable commercial terms communicated by DLI.

VI. CANCELLATION, REFUNDS AND SERVICE DISCONTINUATION

Users should review the selected package, service scope, duration and applicable commercial terms before making payment.
Refund eligibility shall be determined by the written refund terms applicable to the purchased service, the stage of service delivery, any expressly agreed cancellation conditions and applicable law. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed in writing, fees for services already delivered, promotional activities already undertaken or subscription benefits already consumed may not be refundable.
The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any refund request at its sole discretion, subject to applicable laws and the terms of the relevant invoice. All refund and cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through the Company's official communication channels.
In the event that the Company approves a refund following a cancellation request by the Advertiser or Customer, 35% of the total amount paid shall be deducted as a cancellation charge, subject to applicable law.
In addition to the cancellation charge, a pro-rata deduction shall be made for the service already consumed, calculated based on the actual live duration of the advertisement or listing in proportion to the total period booked. The final refund amount shall be calculated after deducting both the cancellation charge and the applicable service usage amount from the total payment received.

VII. BUSINESS ENQUIRIES, LEADS AND CONFERENCE CALLS

DLI may facilitate the exchange of business enquiries between Users based on information submitted through the platform or otherwise lawfully obtained for the relevant service.
Enquiries may vary in relevance, completeness, accuracy, responsiveness and commercial suitability. DLI does not guarantee that every enquiry will result in a meeting, appointment, order or sale.
Unless a specific written commitment forms part of the purchased package, DLI does not guarantee a minimum number of enquiries, qualified leads, interested dealers, distributor appointments or commercial transactions.
Where a package expressly includes a conference call with an interested dealer, DLI will use reasonable efforts to coordinate the call in accordance with the agreed scope and subject to the dealer's genuine interest, availability, consent and scheduling.
A conference-call commitment, where expressly included in a package, means facilitation of the agreed communication milestone. It does not guarantee that the dealer will sign an agreement, place an order, make a payment or proceed with a commercial relationship.
Users must respond to enquiries promptly, provide accurate information and behave professionally when communicating with prospective business partners.
Users must not falsely claim that a prospective dealer has committed to a purchase, distributorship, franchise or other commercial arrangement when no such commitment has been made.
DLI may use reasonable operational processes to assess, route, manage or follow up on enquiries. However, unless expressly agreed in writing, DLI does not guarantee exclusivity of enquiries or that an enquiry has not been received by another business.
Users are responsible for independently confirming a prospect's requirements, authority, financial capacity and suitability before entering into a transaction.
