Terms of Use/ Terms and Conditions

The website sunrisestate.in ("Website") and any associated applications ("Platform") are owned and operated by Sunrisestate Media Private Limited ("Company"), incorporated as The Sunrise State. We provide news and opinion pieces from Amaravati, India, and the world, often requiring a subscription fee ("Services"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). The terms “we,” “us,” or “Company” refer to The Sunrise State, and “you” refers to any user or subscriber. Additional rules or policies for Services are incorporated into these Terms. We may modify the Platform or Terms at any time, with changes posted on the Platform and effective immediately.

These Terms were last updated on June 23, 2025.

1. Eligibility
You must be competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (over 18, of sound mind, and not disqualified by law) to subscribe to our Services.


2. Registration
Some Platform content requires subscription and registration. You must provide accurate details (e.g., username, name, email, phone number) and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy at sunrisestate.in/privacy-policy. You are responsible for securing your account credentials and all activities under your account. We may terminate your subscription if credentials are shared with unauthorized users.


3. Subscription
Subscriptions grant access to premium content (e.g., opinion pieces, exclusive features). Free previews are available, but premium access is for paid subscribers only. We may modify content access rights at our discretion, effective at the end of your subscription term for paid users. Subscription packages, prices, and availability may vary by region or device. We process subscriptions promptly but do not guarantee activation timelines. Your subscription offer is accepted only after payment verification, at which point access is granted.


4. Payment Terms
Subscription fees ("Subscription Fees") are charged at the rates displayed at purchase, including applicable taxes. You must provide accurate payment details, and you confirm your entitlement to use them. We use third-party payment providers (e.g., Razorpay) to process payments, and their terms apply. You are responsible for bank fees or currency conversion charges, which are displayed before transaction completion. We rely on third-party billing platforms and do not collect sensitive payment details (e.g., card numbers, CVV). Do not share such details with us; report any such requests to info@sunrisestate.in. Subscription Fees are billed at subscription start and renewal, and all fees are non-refundable unless specified.


5. Pricing
Subscription Fees are listed on the Platform and may vary by region or over time. Discounts are applied at subscription start and cannot be changed mid-term. If a pricing error occurs, we may notify you and offer cancellation with a full refund or payment at the correct price. Prices include applicable taxes (e.g., GST) as per Indian law.


6. Term, Renewal, Cancellation
Subscriptions are offered for terms listed on the Platform. They auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel by contacting info@sunrisestate.in with at least 5 business days’ notice, but cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid year, with no refunds for the remaining term. Once payment is done, and whenever you cancel a subscription, it will end at the completion of the paid year. We may terminate your subscription for breaching these Terms or due to unforeseen circumstances, with 15 days’ notice if possible and a refund for any unexpired paid period. Non-subscribers’ registrations may be terminated at our discretion.


7. Platform Content
All content (e.g., text, images, videos) is protected by copyrights and trademarks owned by us or licensed parties. Content is for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute content without our written consent, except for limited sharing (e.g., emailing a story to a few individuals with proper attribution, up to 5 shares per subscription term). Unauthorized use, including scraping or creating derivative works, is prohibited.


8. Prohibited Content
User-submitted content (“User Content”) must not:

  • Be defamatory, obscene, or invasive of privacy.
  • Violate intellectual property or other laws.
  • Threaten India’s unity, security, or public order.
  • We may remove prohibited content and terminate your access for violations, at our sole discretion.

9. Third-Party Content
We may partner with third parties for bundled services, with payments processed by us. Access issues due to technical failures are not our responsibility. Third-party terms apply to their services, and existing subscribers to their platforms may not be eligible for bundled offers.


10. Warranty Disclaimer
The Platform and Services are provided “as is” without warranties of accuracy, reliability, or availability. We may modify or discontinue Services without notice, subject to our Privacy Policy. We do not guarantee freedom from viruses or harmful components.
