Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of these terms

These terms, with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice, are the agreement between you and us about your use of the CRCGS platforms. The platforms today are:

• Knowledge Hub (crcgs.academy)
• Country Profiles (countryprofiles.crcgs.academy)

The same terms apply to every CRCGS platform, including any we add later.

2. Who provides the services

The platforms are provided by AmpliSkill Consulting LLP, a Limited Liability Partnership, of B-1019, Luxor Apts, Kondapur, Hyderabad, Telangana 500084, India. CRCGS (The Centre for Risk, Compliance & Governance Studies) is the brand name under which the platforms are offered; it is not a separate legal entity. In these terms "we", "us" and "our" mean AmpliSkill Consulting LLP.

3. Who may use the platforms

The platforms are for professionals and students aged 18 or over. By using them you confirm that you are at least 18. If you use a platform for an organisation, you confirm that you may bind it to these terms.

4. Accounts

• Give correct details and keep them up to date.
• Keep your password private and use a strong one. You are responsible for what happens under your account; tell us at once at privacy@crcgs.academy if you think someone else has used it.
• One person, one account. Do not share an account.
• You can delete your own account in Account settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break any law, or help anyone else to;
• try to get into accounts, the admin area or our systems without permission, or test their security without our written agreement;
• upload malicious code, or send spam or advertising through our forms;
• overload or disturb the platforms;
• use scripts, bots, scrapers or other automated tools to copy the platforms or collect their content in bulk, except for search engines indexing the public pages;
• pretend to be another person or organisation, or mislead us or other users;
• use the platforms to harass anyone or to publish content that is unlawful, defamatory or infringes someone's rights.

6. Our content and what you may do with it

The articles, country profiles, glossary, case studies, summaries, text, selection of data, design and logos on the platforms belong to CRCGS (AmpliSkill Consulting LLP) and are protected by copyright. All rights are reserved.

You may:

• read the platforms and use them for your own work;
• share links to our pages;
• quote short extracts, with credit to CRCGS and a link back to the page.

You need our written permission to:

• republish a full article;
• copy whole country profiles, or substantial parts of them;
• reuse our content commercially, for example in a paid product or a paid training course.

To ask, write to privacy@crcgs.academy.

Official sources. Laws, circulars, orders and other official documents belong to the bodies that publish them. Our summaries of them are our own work.

7. Author submissions

If you write or send us an article, case study or other work:

• You keep the copyright in your work.
• You give us a free, non-exclusive licence to publish it, edit it for clarity and promote it on the CRCGS platforms and our social channels.
• You confirm that the work is your own, that it does not copy anyone else's work or break anyone's rights, and that you may give us this licence.
• We may decline, change or remove a submission.

8. Not advice; accuracy

The platforms give general information, not legal, compliance or professional advice. Laws and regulators' rules change. Our content may be incomplete or out of date, even though we work to keep it accurate and cite official sources. Always check the official source and take professional advice before you act on anything you read here.

9. Links and third-party sites

Our pages link to official sources and other websites. We do not control them, are not responsible for what they say or do, and a link is not an endorsement. Their own terms and privacy policies apply there.

10. Fees

Everything on the platforms is free today, including reading and creating an account. If we ever introduce paid access levels, the price and the refund rules will be shown clearly before anyone pays, and we will update these terms first.

11. Availability

We aim to keep the platforms running, but we do not promise they will always be available or free of errors. We may change, pause or remove features, content or a whole platform, for example for maintenance.

12. Limit of our liability

The platforms and their content are provided "as they are". As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage (including loss of profit, business or data) that comes from using, or not being able to use, the platforms, or from relying on their content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. If you cause us loss

You agree to compensate us for loss, claims and reasonable costs that come from your breach of these terms, or from content you send us that breaks the law or someone's rights.

14. Ending your use

You may stop using the platforms at any time and delete your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or the law. The parts of these terms that by their nature should continue (for example content ownership, liability and governing law) do so after your access ends.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the platforms after a change, you accept the new version. We will update the terms before we introduce any fee.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. If a dispute arises, we will first try to settle it by discussion for 30 days after one of us tells the other about it in writing. If it is not settled in that time, the courts at Hyderabad, Telangana have exclusive jurisdiction.
