Pattem Group brings together different companies, brands, initiatives and areas of activity. Individual Group companies may operate their own websites, products, services, platforms and activities and may have separate terms, policies or agreements that apply to those interactions.

You may access and use Pattem Group websites and Services only for lawful, legitimate and appropriate purposes.
You must not use the Services in a manner that violates applicable laws or regulations, infringes the rights of another person or organisation, interferes with website operation or security, introduces malicious software or attempts to gain unauthorised access to systems, accounts, networks or information.
You must also not misuse website content, attempt to bypass security controls or access information that you are not authorised to access.
Pattem Group may restrict, suspend or discontinue access where there is a reasonable concern relating to misuse, unlawful activity, security risks or violation of these Terms.
Pattem Group and Its Companies
Pattem Group operates as a Group comprising different companies, brands, initiatives and areas of activity.
Information available through PattemGroup.com may relate to Pattem Group as a whole or to an individual Group company, brand or initiative.
Individual Group companies may independently maintain their own websites, products, services, privacy policies, terms and conditions, recruitment processes, customer agreements and other legal notices.
Where you interact directly with a particular Group company, the terms applicable to that company, platform, service or activity may apply in addition to these general Terms.
Website Content
Content published through Pattem Group websites is primarily intended to provide general information about the Group, its companies, activities, initiatives, services, opportunities and related matters.
Pattem Group makes reasonable efforts to maintain useful and current information. However, website information may change over time, and we do not guarantee that every piece of content will always be complete, current, accurate or free from errors.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, information available through the website should not be treated as legal, financial, investment, employment or other professional advice.
Users should independently assess relevant information before relying on it for significant professional, financial, legal, employment or business decisions.
Account Registration and Security
Certain Pattem Group websites, platforms, portals or features may require users to register an account or provide account information.
Where registration is available, users are responsible for providing accurate, current and complete information and for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
Users are responsible for activities carried out through their accounts and should promptly report suspected unauthorised access or security concerns through the appropriate communication channel.
Pattem Group may restrict, suspend or discontinue account access where misuse, security risks, unauthorised activity or violations of these Terms are reasonably identified.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, content available through Pattem Group websites and digital platforms may be owned by or licensed to Pattem Group, one of its Group companies, authorised content owners, licensors or other respective rights holders.
This may include text, articles, graphics, images, videos, designs, logos, icons, brand elements, website layouts, documents, software, source code and other digital or intellectual property.
Accessing a Pattem Group website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property to users.
You may view and use website content for legitimate personal, informational, non-commercial or professional purposes. Protected materials must not be reproduced, modified, republished, distributed, sold, licensed or commercially exploited without appropriate permission from the relevant rights holder.
Intellectual property relating to an individual Group company, brand, licensor or third party remains with the applicable owner.
Information and Materials You Submit
If you submit enquiries, information, documents, feedback or other materials through a Pattem Group website or platform, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide those materials.
Pattem Group may use submitted information as reasonably necessary to respond to the relevant request, operate the applicable platform, manage the interaction or fulfil the purpose for which the information was provided.
Submission of materials does not transfer ownership unless a separate agreement expressly provides otherwise.
Personal information will be handled in accordance with the Pattem Group Privacy Policy and any additional privacy information applicable to the relevant interaction.
Privacy and Data Protection
Personal information collected through Pattem Group websites, applications, forms and other digital interactions may be processed in accordance with the Pattem Group Privacy Policy and any additional privacy notices applicable to a particular Group company or activity.
Personal information may be collected, processed, stored or shared where reasonably necessary for the relevant interaction and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
Users should review the applicable Privacy Policy to understand how their information may be handled.
Recruitment and Applications
Pattem Group websites may contain career information, vacancies or links to recruitment platforms operated by a Group company or third party.
Where an application is submitted through an individual Group company, recruitment platform or external service, additional terms and privacy policies may apply.
Submitting an application does not guarantee employment, an interview, selection or progression to any particular stage of a recruitment process.
Recruitment decisions remain subject to the requirements and processes applicable to the relevant role and organisation.
Subscriptions and Payments
Certain Pattem Group websites, events, platforms, offerings or activities may involve subscriptions, fees, payments or other charges where specifically communicated.
Where payment is required, users should review the applicable pricing, billing, cancellation, refund and payment terms before completing a transaction.
Payment conditions may vary depending on the specific offering, Group company or contractual arrangement.
Where separate commercial or contractual terms apply to an offering, those terms will govern the relevant payment or subscription arrangement.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Pattem Group websites may contain links to third-party websites, applications, APIs, social media services, recruitment platforms, payment providers, technology platforms and other external resources.
These third-party services operate independently and may maintain their own terms of use, privacy policies, security practices and operational requirements.
Pattem Group does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security or practices of third-party websites or services outside its reasonable control.
Users should review the applicable terms and policies before using an external platform or providing personal information to it.
Website and Service Availability
Pattem Group aims to maintain accessible, reliable and useful websites and digital resources.
However, websites, platforms or Services may occasionally be interrupted or unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, network issues, infrastructure failures, cybersecurity measures, security incidents, third-party service interruptions or other circumstances.
Pattem Group does not guarantee that every website, platform, feature or Service will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free.
Features, content or Services may also be changed, replaced, suspended or discontinued where reasonably required for operational, technical or business purposes.
Security
Users must not attempt to bypass, disable, interfere with or circumvent security measures implemented on Pattem Group websites, systems or platforms.
Users must not knowingly introduce viruses, malware, malicious code, harmful software or other material intended to interfere with the security or operation of the Services.
If you become aware of a potential security issue affecting a Pattem Group website or platform, you should report it through the appropriate contact channel published on the relevant website.
Disclaimers
Pattem Group websites, digital resources and general content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis unless expressly stated otherwise.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pattem Group does not guarantee that every website or Service will always be available, that all information will remain complete or current, that content will be free from errors or that the Services will satisfy every user's specific requirements.
Pattem Group also does not guarantee the continued availability, accuracy or reliability of third-party websites, platforms, services or resources referenced through its websites.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pattem Group will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising solely from access to, inability to access or reliance on its websites, general content or digital resources.
Users remain responsible for decisions made using information available through Pattem Group websites and for maintaining appropriate safeguards when interacting with online platforms.
Where a particular service, paid offering, professional engagement or commercial arrangement is governed by separate contractual terms, those terms may contain additional provisions relating to liability.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, users may be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities or reasonable expenses arising from unlawful use of the Services, violation of these Terms, misuse of website content or infringement of another person's or organisation's rights.
This provision applies only to the extent permitted under applicable law and is intended to address consequences directly arising from improper or unauthorised use of Pattem Group websites or digital resources.
Suspension or Termination of Access
Pattem Group may restrict, suspend or discontinue access to a website, account, platform, feature or other Service where reasonably necessary because of violations of these Terms, unlawful activity, security concerns, misuse, technical requirements or other legitimate operational reasons.
Where access is terminated, permissions associated with restricted areas or features may end accordingly.
Pattem Group may also modify, replace, withdraw or discontinue websites, features, initiatives or digital resources where reasonably required.
Where a separate agreement governs a specific service or paid engagement, termination may also be subject to the terms of that agreement.
International Users
Pattem Group websites and digital resources may be accessible from different countries and regions.
Users accessing the Services from outside India are responsible for ensuring that their use complies with laws and requirements applicable in their location.
Pattem Group does not represent that every website, opportunity, offering, feature or activity is available, appropriate or permitted in every jurisdiction.
Certain Services or opportunities may therefore be restricted or unavailable depending on location, applicable requirements or operational considerations.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are intended to be interpreted in accordance with applicable laws of India.
Where a dispute specifically relating to the use of a Pattem Group website or digital platform arises, the parties should first make reasonable efforts to resolve the matter through appropriate communication.
Where formal proceedings are required and applicable law permits, matters may be addressed before the appropriate courts or lawful dispute-resolution mechanisms in Karnataka, India.
Nothing in this section limits any rights, remedies or protections that cannot lawfully be restricted.
Changes to These Terms
Pattem Group may update or revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in websites, Group structure, digital platforms, business activities, operational practices, technology or applicable requirements.
Updated Terms may be published on PattemGroup.com or the relevant website, together with an updated effective or revision date where appropriate.
Continued use of the applicable website or Service after revised Terms become effective may constitute acceptance of those Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Users are encouraged to review these Terms periodically.
Other Policies and Agreements
These Terms should be read together with the Pattem Group Privacy Policy, Copyright Notice and any other applicable legal notices published through PattemGroup.com.
Additional terms, policies or agreements may apply to individual Group companies, websites, platforms, services, initiatives, opportunities, subscriptions, transactions or professional engagements.
Where separate terms are provided for a particular activity, those terms should be read together with these general Terms and will apply to that specific interaction where appropriate.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent reasonably possible.
The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision will not automatically affect the validity of the remaining Terms.
Circumstances Beyond Reasonable Control
Pattem Group will not be responsible for delays, interruptions or inability to provide access resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Such circumstances may include natural events, internet or infrastructure failures, technical outages, cybersecurity incidents, governmental actions, network disruptions or failures of external service providers.
This provision does not exclude any responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.
