Terms of use

This website (thegreenhype.in) is run by The Green Hype (The GreenHype, a sole proprietorship of Hari Harsh), 2032, Johari Bazaar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302003, India. By using it you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. You must be 18 or over to use its forms.

It shows who we are and the work we have done. Nothing on it is an offer to provide services on particular terms. Any work we take on is governed by a separate written agreement or proposal, which takes precedence over anything written here.

The site’s design, code, writing, illustrations, animations, the The Green Hype name and logo and our octopus characters belong to us or are used with permission, and are protected by the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

The films, photos and designs in our case studies were made for our clients; some are owned by those clients and shown with their permission. Client names and logos are trademarks of their owners. We show them to describe work we have done, which doesn’t mean those brands endorse this site.

You may view and share links to our pages. You may not copy, download, republish, adapt or sell any of this material, scrape it, or use it to train AI models, without our written permission (and, for client work, the client’s).

Figures in our case studies, such as views, leads or reach, describe what happened on those specific projects, based on platform and client data at the time. They show what we have done, not a promise of what we will achieve for you; results depend on the brief, budget, market and many things outside our control.

When you add an octopus to our wall, you give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to show your name, note and octopus on the site for as long as it’s up. You keep ownership of what you write. Please don’t post anything that:

• belongs to someone else, or that you don’t have the right to share;
• is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another’s privacy (including bodily privacy), insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, racially or ethnically objectionable, or encourages money laundering or gambling;
• is harmful to children, or defamatory, hateful or threatening;
• infringes a patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right;
• deceives or misleads about its origin, or knowingly spreads false or misleading information;
• impersonates another person;
• threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with other countries, or public order, or incites an offence;
• contains software viruses or malicious code, or breaks any law in force.

We may remove any post, without notice, if we think it breaks these rules or the law. To report a post, see our grievance redressal page.

Don’t try to break into, overload or disrupt the site or its admin area. Don’t get around security measures, send spam or automated submissions through our forms, or use the site for anything unlawful. Misuse may also be an offence under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

The site links to, and embeds content from, other services such as YouTube, Instagram and our clients’ websites. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content or how they handle your data. Their own terms and policies apply.

We work to keep the site accurate and running, but it is provided “as is”. We don’t promise that it will always be available, error-free or free of harmful components. Nothing here is professional, legal or financial advice.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or loss of profit, data or opportunity, from using or being unable to use this site. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that Indian law does not allow to be limited.

If your breach of these terms, or your post on the friends.hype wall, leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable losses and costs this causes us.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Jaipur, Rajasthan have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about them or this website.

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site means you accept the current version. If any part turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. Questions: write to us by email at hariharsh@thegreenhype.in or through our contact page.
