DISCLAIMER

1. General Information

The information published on DSCHOLARRESEARCH.COM is provided primarily for general informational, educational, research, academic, analytical, consultancy, and professional purposes.

While DScholar makes reasonable efforts to provide useful, accurate, and current information, we do not represent or warrant that every item of information published on the website is:

• Complete;
• Accurate in every respect;
• Current at all times;
• Error-free;
• Suitable for every individual or organization;
• Applicable to every situation;
• Free from omissions;
• Available continuously; or
• Guaranteed to produce a particular result.

Information may be changed, updated, corrected, expanded, restricted, or removed at any time without prior notice.

2. No Guarantee of Results

DScholar does not guarantee any particular result, outcome, achievement, acceptance, approval, publication, ranking, funding, employment, admission, academic result, research result, commercial result, or other external outcome from the use of our services.

Research, academic, publication, analytical, professional, and consultancy outcomes may depend on numerous factors outside the Company's control. These may include decisions or actions of:

• Universities;
• Research institutions;
• Journals;
• Publishers;
• Editors;
• Peer reviewers;
• Funding agencies;
• Government authorities;
• Regulatory bodies;
• Employers;
• Academic committees;
• Examination authorities;
• Conference organizers;
• Clients;
• Participants;
• Third-party platforms; and
• Other independent persons or organizations.

Accordingly, payment for a consultancy or professional service does not constitute a guarantee of any external outcome unless a specific written guarantee is expressly provided in a valid agreement signed by an authorized representative of DScholar.

3. Consultancy Services Are Professional Support Services

DScholar's consultancy services are intended to provide professional support based on the agreed scope of work.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement, our services should not be interpreted as a promise that the client will achieve a particular academic, research, publication, business, career, funding, institutional, regulatory, or other outcome.

The client remains responsible for making final decisions based on their own circumstances, requirements, professional judgment, institutional rules, and applicable laws.

4. Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and complete information;
• Providing information within the agreed timeframe;
• Providing lawful access to datasets, documents, materials, and information;
• Reviewing deliverables;
• Providing timely feedback;
• Checking factual and contextual accuracy where appropriate;
• Obtaining required permissions, approvals, consents, and authorizations;
• Complying with applicable institutional and legal requirements;
• Making final decisions concerning the use of deliverables; and
• Using the deliverables lawfully and responsibly.

DScholar shall not be responsible for consequences resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, unauthorized, outdated, or unlawfully supplied information provided by a client or third party.

5. Client-Provided Data and Materials

Where a client provides datasets, research materials, documents, personal information, confidential information, intellectual property, records, or other materials to DScholar, the client represents that they have the necessary rights, permissions, authority, and lawful basis to provide such materials for the agreed purpose.

The client is responsible for ensuring that providing such information to DScholar does not violate:

• Applicable law;
• Privacy rights;
• Confidentiality obligations;
• Intellectual property rights;
• Contractual restrictions;
• Institutional policies;
• Ethical requirements; or
• Rights of third parties.

DScholar shall not be responsible for legal consequences arising solely from the client's unlawful or unauthorized provision of third-party information.

6. Research Data and Research Outcomes

Research involves uncertainty and professional judgment. DScholar does not guarantee that:

• Research findings will support a particular hypothesis;
• Statistical results will be significant;
• A particular methodology will produce a desired result;
• A study will achieve a particular sample size;
• Participants will respond as anticipated;
• Data will produce a desired conclusion;
• A research paper will be accepted by a journal;
• A journal will retain a particular indexing status;
• A reviewer will accept a manuscript;
• A research proposal will receive funding; or
• A research project will achieve a particular academic or professional outcome.

Research findings must be interpreted in accordance with the actual evidence and applicable methodological limitations. DScholar will not knowingly manipulate research findings solely to produce a predetermined conclusion.

7. Data Analytics and Statistical Analysis Disclaimer

Data analytics and statistical outputs depend on the quality, completeness, structure, assumptions, methodology, and limitations of the underlying data.

DScholar does not guarantee that analytical outputs will be suitable for every possible purpose or decision. Clients are responsible for independently assessing whether analytical outputs are appropriate for their intended use, particularly where decisions may have significant financial, legal, medical, academic, employment, regulatory, or other consequences.

Where appropriate, analytical limitations, assumptions, data limitations, or methodological constraints may be communicated as part of the project.

8. Publication Support Disclaimer

DScholar may provide publication-related support, including manuscript assistance, journal selection support, editing, research analytics, submission-related assistance, or other agreed services.

However, DScholar does not guarantee publication, acceptance, peer-review approval, indexing, citation performance, journal ranking, editorial decisions, or publication timelines. Editorial and peer-review decisions remain under the control of the relevant journals, publishers, editors, reviewers, and other independent parties.

No statement by a DScholar employee, consultant, representative, or service provider should be interpreted as an unconditional guarantee of publication or acceptance unless expressly stated in a valid written agreement authorized by the Company.

9. Career Guidance Disclaimer

Career guidance and academic guidance provided by DScholar are intended for informational and professional support purposes. DScholar does not guarantee:

• Employment;
• Admission;
• Fellowship selection;
• Scholarship awards;
• Promotion;
• Salary increases;
• Research positions;
• Institutional acceptance;
• Visa or immigration outcomes;
• Funding;
• Professional licensing; or
• Any other career-related outcome.

Final decisions are made by the relevant institution, employer, authority, committee, or other third party.

10. No Legal, Medical, Financial, Tax, or Regulatory Advice

Unless expressly stated otherwise and provided by appropriately qualified professionals within a legally authorized professional framework, DScholar's services and website should not be treated as a substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, investment, tax, accounting, regulatory, or other licensed professional advice.

Users should obtain independent advice from an appropriately qualified professional where their circumstances require it. Nothing on the website creates a doctor-patient, lawyer-client, financial adviser-client, tax adviser-client, or other regulated professional relationship merely through access to the website or general communications.

11. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools

Where artificial intelligence, machine-learning systems, statistical software, automated analytical systems, language tools, or other automated technologies are used as part of a service, their outputs may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, biases, or limitations.

Where applicable, DScholar may use professional review, human oversight, validation, editing, or quality-control processes. However, no automated or human-assisted system can be guaranteed to be completely error-free. Clients should review important outputs before relying upon them for consequential decisions.

12. Third-Party Platforms and Service Providers

DScholar may use third-party platforms and service providers to support website operation, communication, project management, payment processing, hosting, software, analytics, storage, security, or other operational requirements.

Such third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies, security procedures, and limitations. DScholar shall not be responsible for independent failures, interruptions, security incidents, policy changes, or acts or omissions of third-party providers except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Payment services may include platforms such as SureCart, PayPal, and Razorpay, depending on the applicable transaction.

• Remain available continuously;
• Be uninterrupted;
• Be accessible from every location;
• Be compatible with every device or browser;
• Remain free from technical errors;
• Remain free from malware or other harmful components; or
• Operate without temporary interruptions.

Website availability may be affected by maintenance, upgrades, hosting issues, telecommunications failures, cyber incidents, third-party services, technical failures, force majeure events, or other circumstances.

14. External Links

DSCHOLARRESEARCH.COM may contain links to external websites, journals, publishers, institutions, software providers, payment providers, research platforms, or other third-party resources. These links are provided for convenience or informational purposes.

DScholar does not necessarily endorse or control the content, accuracy, security, availability, policies, products, services, or practices of third-party websites. Accessing third-party websites is at the user's own discretion and risk.

15. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, website content, branding, logos, designs, graphics, text, layouts, and original materials available on DSCHOLARRESEARCH.COM are owned by DScholar or used under appropriate authorization.

Nothing in this Disclaimer grants users an unrestricted license to reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, commercially exploit, or otherwise use protected DScholar materials. Client-owned materials and project deliverables are governed by the applicable Consultancy Agreement, service agreement, license, or other contractual terms.

16. Client Deliverables

Where DScholar provides a project deliverable, the client's rights to use that deliverable are subject to the applicable agreement and payment conditions.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, DScholar does not represent that a deliverable can be used for every purpose, jurisdiction, institution, publication, commercial application, or regulatory process. Clients should verify that the final deliverable satisfies their specific institutional, professional, legal, ethical, or regulatory requirements before use.

17. Confidentiality Disclaimer

DScholar respects client confidentiality and maintains policies designed to protect confidential client information. However, no electronic communication, storage system, online platform, or information-security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure against every possible threat.

DScholar will make reasonable and appropriate efforts to protect information entrusted to it, subject to the applicable agreements and policies. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any confidentiality obligation expressly undertaken by DScholar under a separate written agreement.

18. Data Protection Disclaimer

DScholar makes reasonable efforts to protect client and user information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no organization can guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

DScholar shall not be liable for a security incident to the extent that it results from circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control or from the acts or omissions of the client, third parties, service providers, telecommunications networks, devices, credentials, or systems not controlled by DScholar, subject always to applicable law.

19. No Sale of Client Data

DScholar does not sell client data as part of its ordinary business operations. DScholar also does not ordinarily publish client identities, client names, confidential project information, datasets, or project materials publicly without appropriate authorization or other lawful basis.

Any disclosure required by law, court order, regulatory authority, legal process, or other mandatory requirement is not considered a voluntary commercial sale or public disclosure.

20. Confidentiality of Employees, Consultants, Directors and Representatives

Information concerning DScholar's directors, employees, consultants, contractors, representatives, and other personnel may be confidential or subject to applicable privacy and employment protections. Nothing on the website creates an obligation for DScholar to disclose personal information concerning its personnel.

The names, qualifications, professional profiles, photographs, or other information of consultants or team members published by DScholar may be presented for professional or informational purposes and should not be interpreted as an unconditional guarantee of their continued availability for a particular project.

21. Protection of Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim relating to the website or services shall be directed primarily against DScholar Research Consultancy and Analytics (OPC) Private Limited, rather than against an individual director, officer, employee, consultant, contractor, representative, or other personnel acting on behalf of the Company.

To the fullest extent legally permissible, the Company's directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, representatives, and service personnel shall not be personally liable for claims, losses, damages, costs, or liabilities arising solely from actions undertaken by them in good faith within the scope of their authorized role for DScholar. This provision does not seek to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

22. No Personal Guarantee by Directors or Employees

Unless expressly provided in a separate written document signed in an individual capacity by the relevant person, no director, employee, consultant, officer, or representative of DScholar provides a personal guarantee concerning:

• Project outcomes;
• Publication;
• Research results;
• Academic outcomes;
• Financial outcomes;
• Career outcomes;
• Data availability;
• Third-party decisions;
• Platform availability; or
• Any other result associated with the Company's services.

Statements made by personnel during ordinary professional communication should be understood within the scope of the Company's services and applicable contractual terms.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DScholar, its directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, representatives, and affiliated service personnel shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or remote losses arising from or relating to:

• Use or inability to use the website;
• Reliance on website information;
• Use of consultancy outputs;
• Loss of opportunity;
• Loss of anticipated academic or professional benefits;
• Loss of profits or revenue;
• Business interruption;

• Employment or admission decisions;
• Platform interruptions;
• Third-party service failures;
• Client-provided information;
• Delays caused by circumstances outside reasonable control; or
• Other consequential circumstances,

except where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

24. Maximum Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to any mandatory statutory rights or an express contrary provision in a written agreement, the aggregate liability of DScholar arising from a particular consultancy engagement shall not exceed the amount of consultancy fees actually paid by the client to DScholar for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

This limitation shall not apply to the extent that applicable law prohibits such limitation or requires a different remedy. Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded.

25. No Liability for Third-Party Decisions

DScholar cannot control decisions made by independent third parties. Accordingly, DScholar shall not be responsible for decisions made by:

• Journals;
• Publishers;
• Peer reviewers;
• Universities;
• Employers;
• Funding organizations;
• Government agencies;
• Regulatory authorities;
• Examination bodies;
• Conference organizers;

A client's payment for DScholar services does not purchase a guaranteed decision from any third party.

Project timelines may depend on client cooperation.
