Terms & Conditions

These terms are an agreement between you and Ananta Aayam about your use of the Anant Bhakti mobile application and this website. Please read them before using the service.

Accepting these terms

By downloading, installing or using Anant Bhakti, or by using this website, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy andContent Policy, which form part of this agreement. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the service.

Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you may use the app only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf.

You can sign in with your mobile number, with a Google account, or with Truecaller. You are responsible for keeping access to your account secure, and for everything done through it. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has used your account.

Much of Anant Bhakti — browsing content, reading scripture, the festival calendar — works without an account at all. An account is needed only for features tied to you personally.

Your licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Anant Bhakti on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial devotional use. That licence does not let you:

• copy, redistribute, sell, licence, broadcast or publicly perform any content from the app;
• download, rip, scrape or otherwise extract content except through features we provide;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
• remove or obscure any notice of ownership, attribution or origin;
• use the app or its content to train a machine-learning model; or
• use automated means to access the service, or interfere with its normal operation.

Content you share through the app's Share features may be shared as the feature provides — that is what it is for.

Acceptable use

When using Anant Bhakti, you agree not to:

• break any applicable law, or encourage anyone else to;
• post or transmit anything that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or that insults or denigrates any religion, community, caste, region or belief;
• harass, threaten, impersonate or invade the privacy of any person;
• upload anything containing malware, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems;
• misrepresent the origin of any content, or post anything you have no right to post;
• use the service to advertise, solicit or send unsolicited messages.

Given the devotional nature of this service, we take respect for religious sentiment seriously, and that applies to every faith and tradition, not only the ones the app covers.

Community content

Charcha is a shared discussion space inside the app. You remain the owner of what you post there. By posting, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, display and distribute that content within the service, for as long as you keep it posted, so that we can operate the feature.

You are responsible for what you post. Before your first post the app asks you to agree to our community guidelines, which are part of these terms. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour in Charcha. We are not obliged to monitor community content, but we review every report, may remove anything that breaches these terms or our Content Policy, and may remove from Charcha, or suspend, anyone who repeatedly does so.

You can report any message from inside the app (press and hold it, then choose Report), and you can block another member so that you no longer see their messages or receive notifications about them. Blocks can be undone at any time from Settings › Blocked devotees.

Intellectual property

The Anant Bhakti name, logo, app, website, design, software and compilation of content are owned by Ananta Aayam or licensed to us, and are protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these terms transfers any of those rights to you.

Many devotional texts, mantras and traditional compositions are part of the public domain or of shared religious heritage; our rights extend to our particular recordings, translations, narrations, artwork, arrangement and presentation of that material, not to the underlying tradition.

If you believe content in the app infringes your rights, ourContent Policy explains how to tell us and what we will do.

The nature of our content

AI Jyotishi is an automated astrologer: its answers are written by an AI system from your birth chart and your questions. They can be incomplete or wrong, and they are not reviewed by a person before you see them. Never start, stop or change a medicine or treatment, make an investment, or take a legal step because of an answer it gives. If you are in distress, please reach out to a helpline or someone you trust — the app shows one when it notices a message like that.

Gemstones, rudraksha and other remedies are traditional practices. Wearing or performing one is your own choice, and none of them replaces medical care.

Festival dates, vrat timings and Panchang data are calculated from traditional methods and may differ from the observance followed by your family, region or tradition. Where they differ, follow your own tradition.

Parts of the app are generated by automated systems. The devotional news feed is written by an automated content pipeline and refreshed regularly, and each article is labelled as such in the app. The daily Rashifal text is also drafted automatically. Automatically generated text can be inaccurate, and it is not reviewed line by line before publication.

Payments and subscriptions

Anant Bhakti is currently free. Every feature in the app is available to every user at no cost, and the app contains no subscriptions, in-app purchases or advertising.

If we introduce paid plans in future, they will be governed by ourPayment Policy and described on ourPricing page. We will tell you clearly before any charge applies, and nothing you use today will begin charging without notice.

Availability and changes

We work to keep the service available, but we do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may add, change, suspend or withdraw features, content or the service itself. Some features behave differently on iPhone because of restrictions Apple places on all apps — setting wallpapers and ringtones in particular — and that is outside our control.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using Anant Bhakti at any time, and you may ask us to delete your account through the account deletion page.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we reasonably believe your use puts other users or the service at risk. Where it is practical and lawful to do so, we will tell you why.

Disclaimers

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of data, goodwill, revenue or profit, arising out of your use of or inability to use the service.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim, or one thousand Indian Rupees. Because the service is currently free, this will usually be the latter.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ananta Aayam, its directors, employees and agents against any claim, loss, liability or expense arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the service, or content you post.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to the grievance process below, the courts at New Delhi will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of them.

Before starting any formal proceedings, please raise your concern with us using the contact details below so we have a fair opportunity to resolve it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service or the law changes. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

Contact and grievances

For any question about these terms, or to raise a grievance under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, contact us.
