3. Website Content
The website and its content are provided for general information, entertainment and editorial purposes. Nothing on the website is intended as professional, legal, financial, investment or other specialist advice, and it should not be relied on as such.
Content is published as at the date of publication. We are under no obligation to update any article after publication, and older articles may not reflect subsequent developments.
4. Editorial Content
Bengaluru Baath publishes news, features, reviews, commentary and entertainment information based on the information available to its editorial team at the time of publication.
Opinions expressed in reviews, commentary, columns and editorial features are those of the respective writer or of Bengaluru Baath, as the case may be, and are not to be read as statements of objective fact. Where we report information obtained from another publication, a source or an official announcement, we attribute it, and attribution is not an endorsement of its accuracy.
Editorial decisions, including what we cover and how we cover it, rest with the Bengaluru Baath editorial team.
5. Accuracy
We take reasonable care to publish accurate information and to verify material claims before publication. Despite that, we do not warrant that all content on the website is accurate, complete, current or error-free.
Entertainment reporting frequently involves information that is unconfirmed, contested, or subject to change. Box-office figures, viewership data, casting information, release dates and similar details are often reported by third parties, may be estimates, and may be revised or disputed.
If you believe we have published a factual error, please contact us at bengalurubaath@gmail.com with the URL, the specific statement, the reason you believe it is inaccurate and any supporting evidence. Where a significant factual error is verified, we will correct or update the content.
6. Reviews and Opinions
Film, series and OTT reviews published on the website represent the editorial opinion of the reviewer or of Bengaluru Baath.
Where a review carries a score or rating, that score represents the reviewer’s editorial assessment. It is not an objective measurement of quality, commercial performance or technical merit, and it should not be treated as one. Reasonable people will disagree with our reviews, and frequently do.
Reviews are written independently of any advertising or commercial relationship with the film, studio, platform, label or brand concerned.
7. User-Submitted Content
You may be able to send us news tips, story submissions, photographs, videos, feedback or other material. If you do:
- You confirm that you own the necessary rights in the material, or are otherwise authorised to share it with us for the purpose for which you are sharing it.
- You confirm that the material does not infringe the rights of any third party and does not breach any applicable law.
- You confirm that any personal data contained in the material has been shared lawfully.
- You grant us permission to review the material, and to use, reproduce or publish it only where we have separately agreed the terms of that use with you, except where the material is provided for publication and you have told us it may be published.
- We do not claim ownership of material you submit. Ownership remains with you or with the rightful rights holder.
Submission does not guarantee publication, acknowledgement, payment or a reply. We may decline to use any submission for editorial, verification or legal reasons, and we may edit material we agree to publish. Please do not send confidential material you are not entitled to disclose.
8. Comments and Interaction
If comment, discussion or other interactive functionality is enabled on the website, the following apply. You are responsible for what you post. You must not post anything that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, hateful, threatening, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property, deliberately false, spam or otherwise objectionable.
We may moderate, edit, refuse to publish or remove any user contribution at our discretion, and may restrict or withdraw access for users who breach these Terms. We do not undertake to monitor all user contributions and do not endorse the views expressed in them.
