Legal
Terms of service
These terms govern your use of cricketfanslabs.forum. By browsing the site, using the contact form or otherwise interacting with it, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
1. Who provides this service
The site is operated by Willowline Media Labs Private Limited, 3rd Floor, Kesar Bagh Commercial Block, 18 Tilak Cross Road, Shivaji Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411005, India. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" refer to that company; "you" refers to the person using the site. Notices to us may be sent to [email protected].
2. What the site is, and what it is not
This is an independent editorial publication that teaches how franchise Twenty20 cricket works. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any cricket governing body, league, franchise, broadcaster or brand. We publish no betting or real-money gaming content, no odds, no wagering guidance and no promotional links to such services.
Nothing on the site is professional advice. Coaching, fitness and injury material is general and educational; for anything specific to you or to a player in your care, consult a qualified coach, physiotherapist or doctor. Commercial or financial commentary is editorial opinion and is not investment advice.
3. Permitted use
You may read, print and share our pages for personal, educational and non-commercial purposes, with attribution and a link where you quote us. You agree that you will not:
- copy, republish or redistribute substantial parts of the site for commercial gain without our written permission;
- scrape, harvest or systematically download the site, or use automated tools that place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its hosting or its administrative systems;
- introduce malicious code, or interfere with the site's availability or integrity;
- use our contact form to send unlawful, defamatory, abusive, misleading or bulk unsolicited material;
- use our content or brand to imply that we endorse a product, service, team or organisation;
- use the site in a way that breaks any applicable law, including Indian laws restricting the advertising or facilitation of online money gaming.
4. Intellectual property
All original text, page structure, styling, illustrations and inline graphics on this site are owned by Willowline Media Labs Private Limited or licensed to it, and are protected by Indian and international copyright law. The brand name cricketfanslabs.forum and our mark are ours. Third-party names such as those of cricket boards, leagues and competitions are used purely descriptively for editorial identification, and no claim of ownership or association is made. Photographic placeholder imagery is supplied by a third-party service under its own terms.
If you believe material on the site infringes your rights, write to [email protected] with details of the work, the location of the material and the basis of your claim, and we will investigate promptly.
5. Accuracy, and reliance on official sources
We write evergreen explanatory material and we check it carefully, but competition rules, playing conditions, structures and venue arrangements are set by others and change. We make no warranty that any statement on the site is complete or current. For anything time-bound — schedules, squad rules, playing conditions, ticketing — you must rely on the official publications of the relevant governing body or competition organiser rather than on us. External links are provided for convenience, and we are not responsible for the content or availability of external sites.
6. Availability
The site is provided on an "as available" basis. We may change, suspend, restrict or withdraw all or part of it, including any page or feature, without notice. We are not obliged to maintain any particular content indefinitely.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all implied warranties and conditions relating to the site and its content. We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data or anticipated savings, however arising. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims connected with the site is limited to one thousand rupees (Rs 1,000), that amount being stated as an illustrative cap on a service provided to you free of charge. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be limited under Indian law.
8. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the site.
9. Termination
We may restrict or block your access to the site if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms, are placing an unreasonable load on our systems, or are using the site unlawfully. You may end your relationship with us at any time by ceasing to use the site; clauses on intellectual property, liability, indemnity and governing law survive that.
10. Governing law, jurisdiction and disputes
These terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the site are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Pune, Maharashtra shall have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. Before commencing proceedings, both parties agree to attempt resolution in good faith: write to [email protected] setting out the issue and the outcome you seek, and allow us a reasonable period to respond. Consumer grievances may also be raised with our Grievance Officer at [email protected].
11. General
If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms are the entire agreement between us regarding the site. We may update them, and the version published on this page at the time of your use applies.
