2. About the operator

2.1 The Platform is operated by FinShift Global, a partnership firm constituted under the Indian Partnership Act 1932, having its registered office at 13-248, Sitanagaram, Tadepalle Mandal, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, 522503, India.

2.2 FinShift Global is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") as an Investment Adviser under the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations 2013, nor as a Research Analyst under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations 2014, nor as a Stock Broker, nor as a Portfolio Manager, nor in any other capacity under Indian Securities Laws.

3. What the Platform is

3.1 The Platform is a research and information service that ingests publicly available market data, policy text, corporate filings, news, and similar inputs, and applies deterministic computation together with large language model inference to produce informational outputs across multiple analytical views (policy, market climate, fundamentals, news, technical, governance, consensus, and positions).

3.2 The Platform may cover securities listed on Indian exchanges (including the National Stock Exchange of India and the BSE) and on United States exchanges (including the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market). The inclusion of a security on the Platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer, invitation, inducement, or solicitation to buy, sell, subscribe to, or deal in that security.

4. What the Platform is not

4.1 The Platform does not provide investment advice. No Content on the Platform is, or should be construed as, a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any security, derivative, currency, commodity, or any other financial instrument.

4.2 The Platform does not establish any client relationship, fiduciary duty, or advisory relationship between FinShift and you. The Content is not tailored to your investment objectives, financial situation, tax position, or particular needs.

4.3 You should consult a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser before acting on any information you obtain from the Platform. Any action you take on the basis of Content is taken at your sole discretion and risk.

4.4 The Platform does not execute trades, hold client securities or funds, operate as a broker, or route any order to any broker, exchange, or other intermediary. The positions shown on the dashboard are simulated (paper) positions only.

4.5 The Content is generic in nature. It is produced by automated systems and is made available on the same basis to every User who has access to the relevant view. It is not prepared for, and is not tailored to, any particular person. Any directional indication, conviction score, ranking, stop level, or target level shown on the Platform is a parameter of an automated, simulated model and is presented for information only. It is not a price target, a research report, or a recommendation, and you shall not present or redistribute it as any of those.

4.6 FinShift does not promise, guarantee, or assure any return, profit, income, or protection of capital, and does not represent that any strategy, score, or signal will be profitable. Any view about a future outcome is an estimate of probability and may prove to be wrong.

4.7 The Content is derived from publicly available information. FinShift does not seek, hold, or disseminate unpublished price-sensitive information. You shall not use the Platform, or any Content, in a manner that would contravene the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations 2015 or the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations 2003.

5. Algorithmic and AI-generated Content

5.1 A material portion of the Content is generated by algorithms and by large language model inference, including inference performed by third-party model providers. Such Content may contain errors, omissions, biases, hallucinations, or inaccuracies. FinShift does not warrant the correctness, completeness, or reliability of any Content.

5.2 You acknowledge that automated systems can fail in ways that are not immediately visible to the operator. You agree that you will not treat any Content as a substitute for independent verification, professional advice, or your own analysis.

6. Backtests and simulations

6.1 The Platform may display backtested or simulated performance results. Such results are hypothetical and were prepared with the benefit of hindsight. They do not reflect actual trading and do not represent any actual position held by FinShift or by any User.

6.2 Simulated results do not account for many factors that affect real trading, including liquidity, market impact, slippage, commissions, statutory levies, taxes, financing costs, regulatory restrictions, and human factors. Real execution will differ from simulated execution, and the difference may be material.

6.3 Past performance, whether actual or simulated, is not indicative of and does not guarantee future performance. No representation is made that any account, strategy, or User will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

7. Eligibility and account

7.1 You must be at least 18 years of age and competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act 1872 to use the Platform.

7.2 Access to the dashboard is granted at FinShift's sole discretion and may be modified, suspended, or revoked at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason.
