Terms of Service

1. Acceptable Use Policy

SalaryGrid provides free tools designed to empower Indian professionals, job seekers, and individual taxpayers. You agree to use the platform solely for lawful, personal, or legitimate professional purposes. You agree not to:

• Engage in automated scraping, mass data harvesting, or programmatic crawling of SalaryGrid pages without prior written authorization.
• Attempt to probe, reverse-engineer, disrupt, or bypass the platform's security infrastructure, firewalls, or hosting servers.
• Misuse or republish SalaryGrid calculation outputs or content in a misleading, fraudulent, or unlawful context.

2. Calculator Limitations & No Financial/Legal Advice

All tools, calculation algorithms, income tax estimates, gratuity projections, and SIP wealth forecasts provided on SalaryGrid are intended strictly for informational and educational estimation purposes:

• Not Legal or Financial Counsel: The outputs generated do not constitute certified financial planning, tax advice, investment recommendations, or legal counsel.
• Employer & Bank Discretion: Actual monthly pay slips, TDS withholdings, and loan amortisation schedules depend on individual employer payroll structures, company HR policies, and commercial banking underwriting terms.
• Professional Consultation: Users are advised to consult a qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) or financial advisor before making binding tax or investment decisions.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, brand assets, logos, user interface designs, custom graphics, calculation code architecture, and editorial articles on SalaryGrid are the exclusive intellectual property of SalaryGrid and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws.

You are granted a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to use the calculators and export your personal resume PDFs for job application purposes. You may not sell, redistribute, or white-label our web software without explicit written permission.

4. User Responsibility & Data Input

Because SalaryGrid runs calculation logic and resume generation locally in your browser (without logging inputs onto our servers), the accuracy of any generated output is directly dependent on the numbers and dates you enter. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any resume information or salary figures prior to sharing them with employers or financial institutions.

5. Third-Party Services & Advertising Disclosures

SalaryGrid may display third-party advertisements (such as Google AdSense or verified fintech partner banners) to keep our calculation tools and resume builders 100% free for all users.

• We do not control the terms, privacy practices, or product offerings of third-party advertisers.
• Interactions with external advertisers or linked websites are governed solely by the terms and privacy policies of those third-party providers.

6. External Links Disclaimer

Our articles and tools may reference official government websites (such as the Income Tax Department, EPFO, or Ministry of Labour) for informational citation. SalaryGrid is an independent platform and has no official affiliation with or endorsement from these government bodies.

7. Service Availability & Modifications

While we strive for 99.9% platform availability and continuous operation, SalaryGrid is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We reserve the right to modify, update, enhance, or temporarily suspend tools or sections of the platform for routine maintenance or statutory rule updates without prior notice.

8. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall SalaryGrid, its founders, editors, or technical contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use or inability to use our calculation tools, resume builders, or informational content.

9. Changes to Terms

We may revise and update these Terms of Service periodically to reflect platform enhancements or statutory updates. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates the date of the latest revisions. Your continued use of the platform following any posted modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
