Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using nityapanchangam.com ("Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Service description

Nitya Panchangam is a free Vedic panchangam publication: daily tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise, sunset, rahu kalam, yamagandam, choghadiya, muhurtam, festival dates, puja vidhanam, and related educational content. All values are computed from the Swiss Ephemeris using Lahiri Ayanamsa (see Methodology).

3. Astrology & ritual content is for informational purposes only — NOT professional advice

Nothing on this site constitutes medical, legal, psychological, financial, or licensed professional advice. Panchangam values, muhurtam recommendations, horoscopes, dosha analyses, gemstone/rudraksha suggestions, festival dates, and puja instructions are provided for informational and educational purposes only.

You are solely responsible for any decision you take based on this content. Consult qualified licensed professionals for any decision with health, legal, financial, or safety implications. Vedic astrology is a traditional cultural practice; results are not guaranteed and no scientific claim of causation is asserted.

4. Accuracy disclaimer

We take date and calculation accuracy seriously (see Corrections Policy). However, panchangam values depend on convention (tithi vyapti rules, ayanamsa choice, sunrise convention, city coordinates) and reasonable authorities can differ. If your family paddhati or local temple uses a different convention, follow that convention — do not treat our values as override.

5. Permitted use

• Personal, non-commercial use: view, print, share links.
• Educational quoting with attribution and a link to the original page.
• Embedding our free widgets (where explicitly provided).

6. Prohibited use

• Scraping the Site at high volume or bypassing rate-limits (contact us if you need bulk data — we may license it).
• Republishing content substantially verbatim on another site without permission (fair-use quoting is allowed with attribution).
• Framing or presenting the Site as your own product.
• Attempting to compromise, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Site's operation or security.

7. Intellectual property

Site design, layout, code, editorial content, and compiled panchangam data are © Nitya Panchangam. Traditional Vedic content (mantras, stotras, puranic references) is public domain; our specific arrangement, translation, and presentation are protected. The panchangam engine uses Swiss Ephemeris under its GPL/AGPL license terms.

8. Third-party links & services

The Site links to external services (Amazon.in via affiliate program tag digitalshala4-21 — see editorial-independence disclosure; Google Analytics — see Cookie Policy; WhatsApp channel; DrikPanchang and temple portals in editorial references). We are not responsible for content, availability, or practices of third-party sites.

9. Limitation of liability

The Site is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Nitya Panchangam harmless from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

11. Modifications & termination

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may update these Terms; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of India, without reference to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved as follows:

1. Informal resolution first: please contact us via the Contact page and give us 30 days to attempt a good-faith resolution.
2. Arbitration: disputes not resolved informally will be resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 (as amended), by a sole arbitrator appointed mutually. Seat and venue: Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Language: English.
3. Court jurisdiction (residual): where arbitration is not applicable, the courts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India will have exclusive jurisdiction.

13. Force majeure

We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, war, cyber-attacks, government action, internet/hosting outages).

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
