These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GenderGov™ website and platform ("GenderGov" or the "Services").
GenderGov is a product of ACEVO Global Advisory Pvt. Ltd. ("ACEVO", "we", "our", or "us").
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you use GenderGov on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so on its behalf.
Specific subscriptions, assessments, projects or other services may also be subject to separate agreements, order forms, licences, data-processing terms or other contractual arrangements. Where such an agreement applies, its terms will govern to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.
1. About GenderGov

The features available to you may depend on the service or subscription you have purchased.
2. Eligibility and Authorised Use
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Services.
Where you access GenderGov on behalf of an organisation, you are responsible for ensuring that your use is authorised by that organisation.
3. Intellectual Property
GenderGov, including its software, design, content, methodologies, templates, reports, graphics and other materials, is owned by or licensed to ACEVO and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except as permitted by these Terms or a separate agreement with ACEVO, you may not:

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, our users or our systems, or where these Terms are materially breached.
5. Organisation and User Data
Where you or your organisation provides data through GenderGov, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate authority and lawful basis to provide and process that data.
ACEVO will use information provided through the Services for the purposes of providing, maintaining and supporting GenderGov and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy and applicable contractual arrangements.
Where ACEVO processes personal data on behalf of a customer, additional data-processing terms may apply.
Further information about how personal data is handled is available in our Privacy Policy.
6. GenderGov Compliance Support
GenderGov is designed to support organisations in understanding, assessing and preparing for EU pay transparency requirements.
GenderGov does not provide legal advice, and use of the platform does not constitute legal certification or a guarantee of compliance with any particular law or regulatory requirement.
Legislation and national implementation requirements may change and may differ between jurisdictions.
Organisations remain responsible for determining the legal requirements applicable to them, validating their data and taking appropriate compliance decisions. Where necessary, organisations should obtain independent legal or professional advice.
7. Availability and Outputs
We aim to maintain the availability and accuracy of GenderGov but do not guarantee that the Services will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
Outputs generated through GenderGov depend in part on the information and data supplied by users. Users and organisations are responsible for reviewing relevant data and outputs before relying on them for business, reporting or compliance decisions.
We may update, maintain or modify the Services from time to time to improve functionality, security or regulatory alignment.
8. Subscription and Access
Certain GenderGov features may require payment, a subscription or a separate service agreement.
Subscription periods, fees, payment arrangements, renewal terms and any applicable cancellation provisions will be governed by the relevant order, subscription terms or agreement.
Following expiry or termination of access, some platform functionality, reports or stored information may no longer be available. Customers should retain copies of outputs they are required to preserve, subject to any applicable contractual arrangements concerning data retention or retrieval.
9. Third-Party Services
GenderGov may use or integrate with third-party services, including hosting, analytics, security, communications or payment providers.
Third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy practices. ACEVO is not responsible for third-party websites or services that are outside our control.
Information about our handling of personal data and relevant service providers is available through our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, customer data-processing arrangements.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ACEVO will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Where a separate customer or service agreement applies, any liability provisions contained in that agreement will govern the relevant Services.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to GenderGov, our business practices, or applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Updated Terms will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
12. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Services where:
- these Terms or an applicable agreement are materially breached;
- use of the Services creates a security or operational risk;
- continued access could harm ACEVO, other users or third parties; or
- suspension or termination is required by law.
Any provisions which by their nature are intended to continue after termination will remain applicable.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, subject to any mandatory rights or protections that may apply under applicable law and subject to any different governing-law provisions contained in a separate customer agreement.
