CRITICAL LEGAL NOTICE: BY ACCESSING, USING, OR CONTINUING TO USE THE EVIDENTIX PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, DISCLAIMERS, AND LIABILITY WAIVERS CONTAINED HEREIN. THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT AND YOUR DIGITAL SIGNATURE OF COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF PERSONAL LIABILITY.
Welcome to Evidentix (accessible at evidentix.csib.co.in), a sophisticated investigative support platform designed exclusively for authorized law enforcement personnel, cybercrime investigators, digital forensic analysts, and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) professionals operating under lawful governmental authority. This comprehensive, multi-layered legal document has been meticulously crafted to govern every aspect of your interaction with our platform, and it is intentionally extensive, detailed, repetitive, and exhaustive in nature to ensure that absolutely no user, under any circumstances whatsoever, may later claim ignorance, misunderstanding, confusion, or lack of awareness regarding the significant responsibilities, substantial obligations, potential risks, and complete personal liabilities associated with accessing, utilizing, or interacting with the Evidentix platform in any capacity. The document you are currently reading represents a binding legal contract between you as an individual user and Evidentix as a service provider, and by proceeding beyond this point, you are entering into a formal legal agreement that carries serious legal consequences and implications.
Evidentix has been specifically engineered and designed exclusively for use by duly authorized law enforcement agencies, government-appointed cybercrime investigation units, officially recognized digital forensic analysts, and certified OSINT professionals who possess legitimate lawful investigative authority granted by their respective governmental jurisdictions. Under absolutely no circumstances is this platform intended for, designed for, or legally available to private individuals, commercial businesses, independent journalists, unauthorized hackers, private investigators without proper credentials, academic researchers without appropriate clearance, or any other unauthorized parties who lack the proper legal standing and governmental authority to access sensitive investigative tools and databases. Any attempt by unauthorized individuals or entities to access, use, or interact with this platform constitutes a serious violation of these terms and may result in immediate legal action, criminal prosecution, and civil liability.
This document serves multiple critical functions: it comprehensively outlines your duties and responsibilities as an authorized user, explicitly defines what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable use of the platform, thoroughly explains our privacy practices and data handling procedures, establishes clear disclaimers and limitations of liability, and ultimately requires that you accept complete, total, and unconditional personal responsibility for each and every action, decision, search, upload, download, analysis, report, or any other activity carried out through the utilization of this investigative tool. It is of paramount importance that you understand and acknowledge that Evidentix functions solely and exclusively as a technical mediator and data aggregation service, gathering, organizing, and presenting information from various third-party sources and publicly available databases, but we do not own, create, verify, authenticate, guarantee, or assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, legality, or authenticity of such aggregated data and information.
MANDATORY ACKNOWLEDGMENT: By proceeding to use this platform, you explicitly acknowledge that you have been warned that the datasets and information available through Evidentix may include sensitive, controversial, potentially unreliable, or legally questionable material that has been obtained through data breaches, leaks, unauthorized disclosures, or other means that may not have involved the consent of the original data subjects. You accept complete responsibility for determining the legality and appropriateness of using such information in your jurisdiction and for your specific investigative purposes.
For the purposes of this comprehensive legal document and binding agreement, and to ensure absolute clarity and prevent any potential misunderstanding or misinterpretation, the following definitions shall apply and shall be considered legally binding and enforceable. These definitions are not merely descriptive but constitute essential elements of our legal relationship and must be understood and accepted in their entirety. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of these terms shall be resolved in favor of the most restrictive interpretation that places maximum responsibility and liability upon the user while minimizing any potential liability or obligation of Evidentix.
Evidentix provides exclusively and solely technical support services in the form of data visualization, organizational tools, and analytical assistance for authorized investigative personnel. Our platform is designed to help qualified users organize, visualize, cross-reference, and analyze investigative data and information, but it is crucial to understand that we do not and cannot provide investigative conclusions, legal advice, authentication services, or definitive determinations regarding the accuracy, reliability, or legal admissibility of any information processed through our system. The specific services we provide include, but are not limited to: advanced data visualization capabilities that help users create graphical representations of relationships and connections between entities, persons, organizations, or events; secure temporary storage and management of investigative case files and evidence during active investigation sessions; cross-referencing capabilities that allow users to compare and correlate information from multiple open-source or third-party datasets within a single integrated workspace; analytical tools that assist in pattern recognition and data analysis; and reporting features that help users document and organize their investigative findings for official purposes.
It is absolutely critical that all users understand and acknowledge that at no time does Evidentix claim, assert, or accept ownership over any datasets, databases, or information sources integrated into or accessible through our platform. We do not create, generate, or originate the underlying data that users access through our system, nor do we provide any guarantees, warranties, representations, or assurances regarding the authenticity, accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or legal status of such information. Our role is strictly limited to that of a technical intermediary that aggregates, organizes, and presents information from various sources in a user-friendly format. Under no circumstances should Evidentix be considered or utilized as a surveillance system, hacking tool, data marketplace, substitute for proper judicial process, replacement for court-ordered warrants, or alternative to established legal procedures and protocols.
Users must understand that Evidentix is NOT and does not function as: (1) a real-time surveillance or monitoring system; (2) a hacking or penetration testing tool; (3) a data creation or data manipulation service; (4) a legal advice or consultation service; (5) an authentication or verification service; (6) a substitute for proper legal procedures or judicial oversight; (7) a guarantee of investigative success or accuracy; or (8) a replacement for human judgment, expertise, or decision-making in investigative matters.
Access to and use of the Evidentix platform is restricted exclusively to properly authorized law enforcement personnel, government-appointed cybercrime investigation units, officially certified digital forensic analysts, and qualified OSINT professionals who possess legitimate, current, and verifiable legal investigative authority within their respective jurisdictions. This authorization requirement is not merely a suggestion or preference but constitutes an absolute and non-negotiable prerequisite for lawful access to our system. Any individual or organization that attempts to access, use, or interact with the Evidentix platform without proper authorization is acting in direct violation of these terms and conditions, may be engaging in unlawful activity, and may be subject to immediate legal action, criminal prosecution, civil liability, and other legal consequences. Unauthorized access attempts will be logged, reported to appropriate authorities, and may result in criminal charges under applicable computer crime and unauthorized access statutes.
The determination of whether an individual qualifies as an "Authorized User" rests solely with the individual's employing law enforcement agency, government department, or official investigative unit, and such determination must be supported by appropriate credentials, clearances, and official documentation. Individuals who are uncertain about their authorization status should consult with their supervisors, legal departments, or appropriate authorities before attempting to access the platform. Evidentix reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to verify user credentials and to deny or revoke access to any individual whose authorization cannot be confirmed or who fails to meet our eligibility requirements. However, the primary responsibility for ensuring proper authorization rests entirely with the individual user and their employing organization.
By accessing, using, or continuing to use the Evidentix platform in any capacity whatsoever, you hereby agree, acknowledge, declare, warrant, and legally commit to accept complete, total, and unconditional personal responsibility and liability for each and every action, decision, search query, data upload, information download, analysis performed, report generated, conclusion drawn, or any other activity conducted through or facilitated by your use of the platform. This comprehensive liability acceptance is not limited to direct actions but extends to all consequences, outcomes, results, and repercussions that may arise from your use of the platform, whether such consequences are immediate or delayed, direct or indirect, foreseeable or unforeseeable, intended or unintended. You explicitly acknowledge and agree that you alone bear complete legal, professional, and personal responsibility for determining the appropriateness, legality, accuracy, and reliability of any information accessed through the platform, and for ensuring that your use of such information complies with all applicable laws, regulations, policies, procedures, and ethical standards within your jurisdiction and professional context.
Furthermore, you acknowledge and accept that the datasets and information accessible through Evidentix may include sensitive, controversial, potentially unreliable, incomplete, outdated, or legally questionable material that may have been obtained through data breaches, unauthorized disclosures, leaks, hacks, or other means that did not involve the knowledge, consent, or authorization of the original data subjects or data controllers. You accept complete and sole responsibility for determining whether the use of such information is legal, ethical, and appropriate within your jurisdiction and for your specific investigative purposes. You agree that all verification, authentication, corroboration, and validation obligations rest entirely with you, and you acknowledge that Evidentix provides no verification services, makes no authenticity claims, and offers no guarantees regarding the accuracy or reliability of any information accessible through the platform.
As part of your comprehensive liability acceptance, you specifically agree and warrant that: (1) you will use the platform solely for lawful investigative purposes within the scope of your official duties and legal authority; (2) you will comply with all applicable cybercrime laws, data protection regulations, privacy statutes, and criminal procedure codes; (3) you will not use the platform for harassment, stalking, unauthorized surveillance, personal gain, or any unlawful purpose; (4) you will maintain appropriate security measures to protect access credentials and prevent unauthorized use; (5) you will report any suspected misuse or security incidents immediately; (6) you will not attempt to reverse engineer, hack, or compromise the platform's security; and (7) you accept that all consequences of your actions, including but not limited to wrongful arrests, false accusations, reputational damage, legal liability, disciplinary actions, or criminal charges, are your sole responsibility.

Evidentix is committed to maintaining appropriate privacy and data security measures while recognizing that our platform operates within the unique context of law enforcement and investigative activities, which may require different privacy considerations than typical commercial services. Our privacy policy is designed to balance the legitimate needs of law enforcement personnel with appropriate protection of personal information and compliance with applicable data protection laws. We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to provide authentication services, maintain security, and ensure compliance with legal requirements. This typically includes basic registration details such as name, official contact information, agency affiliation, and credentials verification data, as well as system access logs and voluntarily uploaded investigative files and evidence.
Personal information collected by Evidentix is handled according to the following principles and procedures: (1) user registration data is stored securely and used solely for authentication, authorization, and compliance purposes; (2) access logs and usage data may be maintained for security monitoring, system optimization, and legal compliance requirements; (3) investigative files and evidence uploaded by users remain the exclusive property of the uploading user and their law enforcement agency, and Evidentix claims no ownership rights over such materials; (4) we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit user personal information under any circumstances; (5) access to user data is restricted to authorized Evidentix personnel on a need-to-know basis for legitimate business purposes; (6) appropriate technical and organizational security measures are implemented to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse; and (7) data retention periods are established based on legal requirements, operational needs, and user preferences.
However, users must understand and acknowledge that absolute privacy and security cannot be guaranteed in any digital system, and that law enforcement use cases may involve unique privacy considerations and legal requirements. Specifically, users should be aware that: (1) system logs and audit trails may be preserved and made available to government oversight authorities or in response to legal process; (2) uploaded evidence and investigative materials may be subject to discovery in legal proceedings; (3) account information may be disclosed if required by law, court order, or governmental directive; (4) security measures, while robust, cannot provide absolute protection against all possible threats; and (5) users are responsible for implementing appropriate additional security measures within their own agencies and following their organizational data handling policies. Users acknowledge that they assume all risks related to privacy and security, and that Evidentix cannot be held liable for privacy breaches, security incidents, or unauthorized disclosures that may occur despite our best efforts to maintain appropriate protection measures.
These comprehensive Terms and Conditions, along with all related agreements, policies, and legal relationships between users and Evidentix, shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any and all disputes, controversies, claims, or legal proceedings arising from or related to the use of the Evidentix platform, these terms and conditions, or any other aspect of the relationship between users and Evidentix shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Jammu & Kashmir, India. Users hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objection to venue in such courts.
In conclusion, and to reiterate the fundamental principle underlying this entire legal framework, Evidentix functions exclusively as a technical support tool and data aggregation service for authorized law enforcement personnel. Under no circumstances should the platform be considered or utilized as a replacement for proper court warrants, judicial approval, legal procedures, professional judgment, investigative expertise, or established law enforcement protocols and procedures. Every decision made, every investigative action taken, every report generated, every conclusion drawn, and every consequence that results from the use of information accessed through the Evidentix platform remains entirely and exclusively the responsibility of the individual user and their employing law enforcement agency.
