Terms of use.

Last updated: 21 October 2026

This website is run by the student volunteers of the Women Empowerment Cell (“WEC”, “we”, “us”), Punjab Engineering College (Deemed to be University), Chandigarh (“PEC”). By using it you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. Who can use it

Anyone may read the public pages. To sign in you must be 18 or older, or have your parent or guardian's consent. You're responsible for what happens through your account: keep your Google account secure and tell us at once if you think someone else has used it.

2. Be kind, and don't misuse the site

You must not post, send or do anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens, insults or intimidates anyone, including on the grounds of gender, caste, religion, ethnicity, disability or sexuality;
• is obscene, sexually explicit, harmful to children, or shares intimate images of anyone;
• reveals someone's private information (phone numbers, addresses, photos) without their consent, or invades their privacy;
• is defamatory, knowingly false or misleading, or impersonates another person or organisation;
• infringes copyright or anyone else's rights, or isn't your own work when you say it is;
• is unlawful, promotes violence, or threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, public order, or friendly relations with other countries;
• contains viruses, malicious code, scam or phishing links;
• tries to break, overload, probe or get round the site's security or rate limits, gain access to accounts or data that aren't yours, or scrape or copy the site with automated tools.

We may refuse, edit for length or safety, unpublish or remove anything, and suspend or block any account, at our discretion, especially to protect someone's safety or privacy. Serious misuse may be reported to PEC or to the police.

3. What you send us

Writing and art you submit stays yours. By submitting it you confirm it's your own work and you give WEC a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to publish, display, resize or reformat and share it on this website and WEC's social media, credited with the name you gave. You can ask us to take it down at any time and we will. Everything is reviewed by a person before it goes up, and we don't have to publish anything.

4. Our content

Articles, photos, designs and the WEC name and emblem belong to WEC, PEC or their creators. You're welcome to share links. Please ask before republishing anything, and credit WEC PEC and the author.

5. Information, links and embedded posts

Help contacts, opportunities, news and other information are shared in good faith and checked regularly, but they may change: always confirm with the official source before you rely on them. Links and embedded posts (Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Facebook, Google Forms, news sites) are run by other companies under their own terms. We aren't responsible for their content or practices.

6. Not an emergency or complaints service

WEC isn't monitored around the clock and isn't a complaints authority. In an emergency, call 112. Complaints of sexual harassment go to PEC's Internal Complaints Committee: see Get help.

7. Changes to the website and to these terms

The site is run by volunteers and provided free of charge. We may change, add, suspend or remove any feature, page or content, change who can do what, or close the website, at any time and without notice, and we may update these terms. When we make an important change to these terms, we'll show the new date at the top and, where it's practical, a notice on the site. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

8. Security, and no guarantees

We protect the site and your data with reasonable security practices, described in our privacy policy: encryption of personal data, encrypted backups, access limited by role, logging and rate limits. But no website can be completely secure. The site is provided “as is” and “as available”: we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted, or free from attack.

9. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, WEC, PEC and their students, staff and volunteers are not liable for:

• any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or loss of data, opportunity, reputation or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or your inability to use it;
• loss or harm caused by events outside our reasonable control, including cyberattacks, hacking, unauthorised access, denial-of-service attacks, malware, failures of hosting, network, email or sign-in providers, power or internet outages, natural disasters, or acts of government, provided we had reasonable security practices in place;
• content posted by other people, third-party websites and embedded posts, or decisions you make based on information on the site.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability, or any of your rights, that cannot be limited under Indian law, including your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and our duty to notify you of a personal data breach.

10. Your responsibility

If you break these terms or the law through the site, you are responsible for the consequences, and you agree to compensate WEC and PEC for reasonable losses and costs that directly result from it.

11. Grievance Officer

Under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, complaints about content on this site, or about these terms, go to our Grievance Officer: the Faculty Coordinator, Women Empowerment Cell, Punjab Engineering College, Sector 12, Chandigarh 160012, at the email address on our Join page. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days. Content showing a person's private areas or intimate images, or impersonating someone, is removed within 24 hours of a complaint. If you're not satisfied with the outcome, you may appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee (gac.gov.in).

12. Law and courts

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Chandigarh have exclusive jurisdiction. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
