Legal Framework

Terms & Conditions

Effective: May 2026 · Guwahati jurisdiction, Assam · Indian law

1. Data Sourcing Declaration

All data presented on nervedata.in is sourced exclusively from public records published by:

Election Commission of India — candidate affidavits (Form 26), electoral rolls, expenditure disclosures
Parliament of India — Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha attendance, questions, debates, voting records
State Legislative Assembly websites — MLA attendance and participation records
Court public records — declared case information as per candidate affidavits
ADR (Association for Democratic Reforms) — structured data compiled from ECI records

NERVE Data conducts no independent investigation beyond publicly available information. We are a data aggregation and analytical platform, not an investigative body.

2. Score Disclaimer

Integrity Score and Win Probability are analytical outputs derived from publicly declared information. They do not constitute statements of fact about any individual. They are not endorsements, recommendations, or assessments of character, morality, or fitness for office.

Scores reflect the data as declared by candidates in their official EC affidavits. NERVE Data makes no claim about the accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of the underlying declarations.

Win Probability figures are probabilistic ranges — never point predictions. They represent modeled scenarios based on available historical data. Past electoral patterns do not guarantee future outcomes.

3. Language Controls

NERVE Data strictly prohibits the use of the following terms in any auto-generated or manually written content on this platform:

Corrupt, corruption, or any variation
Criminal (when referring to a person — case counts are stated as declared, not characterised)
Dishonest, fraudulent, illegal, guilty, tainted, crooked
Any defamatory characterisation of any individual

All language refers exclusively to declared figures from verified public sources. Criminal case references state only the count and general nature as per the EC affidavit — never characterise the individual.

4. Liability Limitation

NERVE Data accepts no liability for any campaign, electoral, financial, personal, or professional decision made based on scores, reports, or any content generated on this platform.

Users access this platform entirely at their own risk. NERVE Data is not responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of this platform or reliance on its outputs.

5. Misrepresentation Prohibition

Users agree not to present NERVE Data scores, verdicts, or any outputs:

Out of context or selectively
In a manner that misrepresents the underlying methodology
As statements of fact about any individual's character or conduct
In political advertising or campaign materials without explicit written permission from NERVE Data
In any manner designed to defame, harass, or harm any individual

6. Commercial Use Restriction

Any commercial use of NERVE Data outputs — including but not limited to resale, redistribution, inclusion in paid products or services, or use in commercial research reports — requires a separate written licensing agreement with NERVE Data.

Press and media use for journalistic reporting with appropriate citation is permitted without separate agreement, provided methodology is referenced and outputs are not presented as statements of fact.

7. Data Accuracy and Error Correction

Scores are subject to change as underlying public data updates. Historical data may contain gaps or inconsistencies inherited from source documents. NERVE Data flags known limitations explicitly on every profile.

Error correction policy: Any candidate, their authorised representative, or any person may flag a data error by submitting a dispute through the complaint mechanism on any candidate profile page. Disputes must include the disputed data point, the claimed correct value, and a verifiable source document.

Verified errors will be corrected within 24 hours and publicly acknowledged in the score change log. All disputes are logged regardless of outcome.

8. Jurisdiction and Governing Law

All disputes arising from use of nervedata.in or any NERVE Data product or service are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Guwahati, Assam. Indian law applies to all matters relating to this platform.

NERVE Data does not accept political advertising. No advertiser, political party, candidate, or any third party pays to influence scores, verdicts, or any content on this platform.

NERVE Data operates independently of all political parties, candidates, and electoral bodies. No score or verdict is commercially influenced.
