Operating a website may involve costs such as:

  • Domain registration
  • Website hosting
  • Theme and plugin development
  • Content research
  • Graphic creation
  • Security services
  • Performance optimisation
  • Email and communication services
  • Professional advice
  • Data services
  • Software subscriptions
  • Website maintenance

Regal Ticker may be supported through resources arranged by its publisher and through permitted website-revenue activities.

The website may introduce or use revenue sources described in this policy as it develops.

The inclusion of a possible revenue source below does not necessarily mean that it is currently active.

Possible Revenue Sources

Regal Ticker may generate revenue through methods such as:

Display Advertising

Advertisements may be displayed through:

  • Direct arrangements
  • Advertising networks
  • Sponsored banners
  • Contextual advertisements
  • Other approved advertising services

Advertisements should be distinguishable from independent educational content.

Affiliate Links

Regal Ticker may earn a commission when a visitor follows an eligible affiliate link and completes a qualifying action.

An affiliate relationship should be disclosed near the relevant content.

Using an affiliate link does not mean that a product or service is:

  • Suitable for every reader
  • Risk-free
  • The cheapest option
  • The best available option
  • Guaranteed to produce a financial benefit

Sponsored Content

A company may pay or provide another benefit for clearly identified sponsored content.

Sponsored material should be labelled using wording such as:

  • Sponsored
  • Sponsored Content
  • Paid Partnership
  • Advertisement
  • Promotional Content

Sponsored content should not be presented as independent editorial content without an appropriate disclosure.

Commercial Partnerships

Regal Ticker may enter into arrangements involving:

  • Educational campaigns
  • Tool partnerships
  • Technology providers
  • Data services
  • Content licensing
  • Co-branded resources
  • Newsletter placements
  • Other commercial collaborations

The nature of a material relationship should be disclosed where it could reasonably influence a reader’s understanding.

Paid Tools or Services

Regal Ticker may introduce paid features in the future, such as:

  • Premium calculators
  • Research organisation tools
  • Educational subscriptions
  • Downloadable resources
  • Paid learning products
  • Other investor utilities

Before paid services are launched, Regal Ticker should publish applicable:

  • Pricing
  • Terms
  • Refund rules
  • Cancellation rules
  • Privacy information
  • Product limitations

Content Licensing

Regal Ticker may permit another publisher or organisation to reuse selected original content under a licensing arrangement.

A licensing agreement should not transfer editorial control over unrelated Regal Ticker content unless expressly stated.

Voluntary Support

The platform may introduce optional reader-support methods in the future.

Any such arrangement should be presented transparently and should not imply that payment is required to access material described as free.

No Outside Ownership Implied by Advertising

The presence of an advertisement, affiliate link or sponsor does not mean that the advertiser:

  • Owns Regal Ticker
  • Owns Regal Group
  • Controls the website
  • Employs the author
  • Approves every article
  • Is officially endorsed by Regal Ticker
  • Has authority over editorial corrections

A commercial relationship applies only to the arrangement that is specifically disclosed.

No Relationship Implied by Ordinary Coverage

Regal Ticker may mention or link to:

  • SEBI
  • NSE
  • BSE
  • NSDL
  • CDSL
  • Listed companies
  • Stockbrokers
  • Banks
  • Mutual-fund providers
  • Financial applications
  • Government departments
  • Other organisations

Ordinary educational coverage does not mean that Regal Ticker has:

  • A partnership
  • A sponsorship
  • An affiliate relationship
  • An endorsement agreement
  • Official authorisation
  • Ownership involvement

A material commercial relationship should be disclosed separately where one exists.

Editorial Independence

Regal Ticker aims to protect its editorial independence regardless of how the website is funded.

A commercial partner should not be allowed to require Regal Ticker to:

  • Publish a knowingly false claim
  • Remove a material risk warning
  • Hide an affiliate disclosure
  • Suppress a confirmed correction
  • Present advertising as independent reporting
  • Guarantee investment returns
  • Recommend a product to every reader
  • Misrepresent regulatory registration
  • Conceal important fees
  • Remove supported criticism solely because it is unfavourable

A partner may provide factual information or request correction of a demonstrable error, but the final editorial decision should remain with Regal Ticker.

Commercial Content Versus Editorial Content

Regal Ticker distinguishes between:

Independent Editorial Content

Content selected and prepared primarily to educate, explain or assist readers.

Commercial Content

Content created or placed as part of:

  • Advertising
  • Sponsorship
  • Affiliate marketing
  • Paid promotion
  • A commercial partnership

Mixed-Purpose Content

Some content may contain both educational and commercial elements.

Where this occurs, an appropriate disclosure should explain the material relationship.

Advertiser and Sponsor Influence

An advertiser or sponsor may be allowed to:

  • Verify factual information about its own product
  • Supply product documentation
  • Explain current pricing
  • Identify an outdated feature description
  • Request correction of a factual error
  • Review whether legally required promotional wording is present

An advertiser or sponsor should not be allowed to:

  • Write an independent conclusion without disclosure
  • Demand a guaranteed positive review
  • Hide material limitations
  • Remove accurate criticism
  • Influence unrelated editorial content
  • Prevent correction of an error
  • Claim that Regal Ticker provides personalised investment advice

Affiliate Selection

Affiliate availability alone should not determine whether a topic is covered.

When affiliate relationships are introduced, Regal Ticker may consider:

  • Relevance to readers
  • Regulatory status where applicable
  • Product transparency
  • Publicly available fee information
  • Website security
  • Product functionality
  • Customer-service information
  • Material complaints
  • Suitability for the educational topic

Due diligence does not guarantee the future conduct, security or quality of an external provider.

Product Rankings and Comparisons

When Regal Ticker publishes a commercial comparison, it should explain:

  • The products reviewed
  • The comparison criteria
  • Whether affiliate links are present
  • Whether any placement is sponsored
  • Whether every market option was reviewed
  • The date the information was checked
  • Important limitations
  • Whether pricing may change

Paid placement should not be presented as a fully independent ranking without disclosure.

Financial Interests and Securities

Where an author or responsible editor has a material financial interest directly relevant to a company, security or financial product being discussed, Regal Ticker may provide an appropriate disclosure.

A financial interest may include:

  • Share ownership
  • Employment
  • Consultancy
  • Paid collaboration
  • Affiliate commission
  • A close personal relationship
  • Another material benefit

Not every diversified or insignificant holding will necessarily affect editorial judgment, but material conflicts should be disclosed where they may reasonably matter to readers.

No Paid Stock Promotion

Regal Ticker should not accept arrangements intended to:

  • Artificially influence the price of a security
  • Promote pump-and-dump activity
  • Conceal payment for stock promotion
  • Create false market excitement
  • Present a sponsored stock mention as independent analysis
  • Guarantee a target price
  • Promise assured returns
  • Encourage unlawful market manipulation

Any paid financial promotion must be assessed carefully and disclosed appropriately.

Regulatory Independence

Regal Ticker, Regal Group and Dilip Kumar are not presented as SEBI-registered Investment Advisers or Research Analysts.

The website’s educational content should not be treated as:

  • Personalised investment advice
  • A research recommendation
  • A stock tip
  • A trading signal
  • A portfolio recommendation
  • A guarantee of return

A commercial relationship does not change the educational status of the website.

Donations, Grants and Institutional Support

Regal Ticker may consider:

  • Grants
  • Educational support
  • Technology credits
  • Research access
  • Donations
  • Institutional partnerships

Where such support materially contributes to published content or website operations, Regal Ticker should disclose:

  • The supporter
  • The nature of the support
  • The relevant project
  • Whether editorial conditions apply

Support should not be described as unconditional when contractual restrictions exist.

Free Products and Services

A company may provide:

  • Free software access
  • Research-tool access
  • Event admission
  • Training
  • Demonstration accounts
  • Product trials
  • Other benefits

Where a benefit is connected to published coverage, it should be disclosed appropriately.

Receiving a free product or service does not guarantee positive coverage.

Reader Payments

If Regal Ticker introduces subscriptions or paid tools, payment should not purchase:

  • Guaranteed investment outcomes
  • Personalised stock tips
  • Market manipulation
  • Undisclosed promotional coverage
  • Removal of accurate criticism
  • Preferential correction decisions

Terms applicable to paid services should be published before users are charged.

Corrections and Commercial Relationships

Commercial content remains subject to Regal Ticker’s Corrections Policy.

When a material error is confirmed, Regal Ticker may:

  • Correct the content
  • Add clarification
  • Update pricing
  • Add a disclosure
  • Remove a link
  • Remove an advertisement
  • End a partnership
  • Publish a correction note where appropriate

A commercial partner should not prevent the correction of a confirmed error.

Reporting an Undisclosed Relationship

Readers may report a suspected undisclosed commercial relationship.
