Terms of Service

DeskBuz operates purely as an "intermediary" as defined under Section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (the "IT Act"), and is entitled to the safe harbor protections available under Section 79 of the IT Act and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

The Platform provides a neutral, technology-enabled venue for users to share, view, and discuss workplace information such as company reviews, ratings, salary data, and interview experiences. All such content is generated, submitted, and published by third-party users.

DeskBuz does not author, originate, initiate, select, modify, verify, endorse, or otherwise control the user-generated content hosted on the Platform. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any review, salary listing, or other content posted by users. Any reliance you place on such content is strictly at your own risk.

By using the Platform you agree that you will not host, display, upload, modify, publish, transmit, store, update, or share any information or content that:

• is defamatory, libelous, slanderous, blasphemous, obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another's privacy including bodily privacy, or insulting or harassing on the basis of gender;
• is hateful, racially or ethnically objectionable, discriminatory, or relating to or encouraging money laundering or gambling;
• infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights of any party;
• identifies, names, targets, or refers to any specific individual manager, employee, colleague, or other natural person by name, nickname, designation combined with identifying details, photograph, or any other personally identifying information;
• threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign States, or public order, or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence;
• contains software viruses, malicious code, or is otherwise intended to harm the Platform or its users;
• is knowingly false, misleading, or intended to deceive readers about the nature of a workplace, salary, or employment experience.

Reviews, ratings, and commentary must focus solely on the corporate entity, its policies, work culture, compensation practices, and overall workplace environment — never on identifiable individual employees. Content that targets a named individual will be removed and may result in immediate termination of your access to the Platform.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely and exclusively liable for any and all content, reviews, salary data, comments, or other information that you post, submit, or transmit through the Platform. DeskBuz bears no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the content authored by users.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DeskBuz, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) any content you submit to the Platform; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

You represent and warrant that any content you submit is your own original first-hand experience, is truthful to the best of your knowledge, and does not violate any confidentiality obligation, non-disclosure agreement, or other contractual or legal duty owed to your current or former employer.

In accordance with Rule 3(1)(d) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, DeskBuz will remove or disable access to any content hosted on the Platform within thirty-six (36) hours of receipt of a valid order from a court of competent jurisdiction or a lawful direction from an authorised government agency.

Affected parties may also report violating content through the Grievance Redressal Mechanism set out below.

In compliance with Rule 3(2) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, DeskBuz has appointed a Grievance Officer to address concerns relating to content hosted on the Platform.

Any corporate entity, individual, or other affected party seeking the removal of defamatory, infringing, or otherwise violating content may submit a written complaint to our Grievance Officer at the address below. Complaints should include: (i) the URL of the specific content; (ii) the nature of the grievance and the rule or right alleged to be violated; and (iii) verifiable contact details of the complainant.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in India.

DeskBuz reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified through the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
