Terms of Use
The ground rules for using Gold Rate Today — written in plain language so you actually understand what you're agreeing to.
The short version (in plain English)
By using Gold Rate Today, you agree to use it sensibly and accept that the information here is a free reference — not financial advice and not a guarantee of jeweller prices.
- The site is free to read, free to share, free to reference. No login or payment required.
- Our gold rates are reliable reference values, not the exact price your jeweller will quote.
- Don't scrape the site aggressively, attack it, or copy our content wholesale onto your own site.
- We're not financial advisors; nothing on the site is investment advice.
- We can change or shut down the site at any time without notice.
What's in these terms
1. Accepting these terms
By accessing or using Gold Rate Today (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site.
These Terms apply to all visitors, whether you read a single page or use every tool on the site.

4. Accuracy of information
We work hard to publish accurate, current gold rates. However, we make no guarantee that:
- The rates shown match the exact price your local jeweller will quote.
- The rates shown will match any specific commodity exchange's intra-day quote at the moment you view the page.
- Calculations made using our calculator will match the final billed amount at a jewellery shop (which includes making charges, GST, hallmarking fees, and other variables we can't predict).
The rates we publish are reference values derived from MCX, IBJA, and international spot price feeds. Real jeweller quotes vary by city, shop, and time of day. Always verify with your local jeweller before making any significant gold transaction.
5. Not financial advice
This is important, so we'll say it clearly: nothing on this Site is financial, investment, or tax advice.
We are not a SEBI-registered investment advisor, financial planner, tax consultant, or any kind of licensed adviser. The information on this Site is provided for general reference and educational purposes only.
Before making any significant gold purchase, sale, or investment decision:
- Consult a qualified financial advisor registered with SEBI or your local regulator.
- Verify current rates with your local jeweller or a BIS-hallmarked retailer.
- Consider your own financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals.
You are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on information from this Site.

14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, when we add new features or in response to legal changes. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes, we will display a clear notice on the homepage for at least 14 days. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
We encourage you to review these Terms occasionally so you stay aware of any changes.
15. Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in India.
