1. Acceptance & Preamble
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of adynta.com and its associated digital platforms — including Policy Tracker, Smart Alerts, Regulatory Trend Analysis, and Research & Briefing Services (collectively, the "Platform") — operated by Adynta Consulting ("Adynta", "we", "us", "our"), based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.
