Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Bhagavadgita Shlokas, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (“we”, “us”, “our”), and govern your use of our website at gitashlokas.com and our mobile application (together, the “Service”). By installing, opening or using the Service you accept these Terms in full. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service.
1. The Service
Bhagavadgita Shlokas presents all 701 shlokas of the Bhagavad Gītā in Devanāgarī with transliteration, English meaning and translations in several Indian languages, along with flashcards, practice and revision tools, daily motivation, calm-reading mode and offline access. It is provided for personal, non-commercial study and devotional use.
2. Free trial and lifetime access
Google sign-in starts a 7-day free trial of all features. After the trial, full access requires a one-time payment of ₹500 for residents of India or US$9.99 for residents of other countries. The homepage remains visible.
3. One-time payment
This payment purchases lifetime access for your signed-in account. It is not a recurring subscription. There is no automatic renewal or recurring charge. Payments are processed by Razorpay under its own terms. Access is activated after payment verification. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for payment issues.
4. Your account and device data
Your account records your trial and lifetime-access status. Sign in with the same Google account to restore paid access on another device. Bookmarks, practice progress, downloaded language packs and display preferences are stored on your own device. We cannot recover them if you clear your browser data, switch devices or uninstall the app. Use the built-in backup and restore option if you wish to keep a copy.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- resell, sub-licence, republish or commercially exploit the compiled content;
- scrape, crawl or bulk-download the Service by automated means;
- attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the Service or its infrastructure;
- remove or obscure attribution, or present the content in a way that misrepresents its source or meaning;
- use the Service for any unlawful, hateful or deceptive purpose.
6. Intellectual property
The Sanskrit text of the Bhagavad Gītā is in the public domain. The compilation, transliteration scheme, translations, artwork, design, code and all other original material in the Service are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. You may quote individual shlokas with attribution for personal, educational or devotional purposes; any other reuse requires our written permission.
7. Accuracy and religious content
Translations, meanings and commentary are offered in good faith for study and devotion. Scriptural interpretation varies across traditions and translators; we do not warrant that every rendering is complete or free of error, and nothing in the Service is intended as religious, medical, psychological, financial or legal advice. Corrections are welcome at bhagvadgita26@outlook.com.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Service online at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may add, modify, suspend or discontinue any feature at any time. Much of the app continues to work offline once the content has been downloaded to your device.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties for payments (Razorpay), email delivery, hosting and app distribution. Your use of those services is also governed by their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their acts or omissions.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of data arising from your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim is limited to the total amount, if any, you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or ₹1,000, whichever is lower.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing site data. We may suspend access for anyone who breaches these Terms or abuses the Service.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
15. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. We encourage you to write to us first — most issues are resolved by a simple email.
