Content ownership, license, and IP

  • Unless otherwise stated, all original editorial content on the site (text, images, videos, graphics) is owned by or licensed to the site owner and protected under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957.

  • Users retain ownership of their submissions but grant a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to host, store, publish, display, reproduce, adapt, and distribute such submissions for operation and promotion of the platform, subject to removal upon account termination where reasonably feasible.

Copyright complaints and takedown

  • Rights holders believing their copyrighted work has been used without authorization may send a written notice with sufficient detail (work identification, infringing URL(s), statement of rights, contact details, and a good‑faith statement) to the designated grievance/contact address; the platform may disable access to the material pending review and notify the uploader as required under applicable intermediary safe‑harbor frameworks.

  • Notices must reference the Copyright Act, 1957 and provide clear identification of the allegedly infringing content; knowingly false claims may attract liability under applicable law.

Editorial accuracy and changes

  • Content is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis; while efforts are made to ensure accuracy, travel conditions, prices, visa rules, and safety information change frequently, and no warranty is made as to completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any purpose.

  • Content may be corrected, updated, or removed at any time without notice, and service availability may be interrupted, suspended, or discontinued at the platform’s discretion.

Travel and safety disclaimer

  • All travel is undertaken at the traveler’s own risk; users should independently verify requirements such as visas, permits, vaccinations, local laws, and safety advisories before travel, and consult official sources and professionals where appropriate.

  • The platform does not provide professional legal, medical, or travel agency services; any reliance on information is at the user’s sole risk.

Third‑party links, affiliates, and advertising

  • The site may contain links to third‑party websites, products, and services; these are provided for convenience and do not constitute endorsement, and the platform is not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

  • Some links are affiliate links or paid collaborations; disclosures are provided in accordance with the Advertising Standards Council of India’s Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media, and users should assume the platform may earn commissions at no extra cost to them.

Influencer and brand collaboration disclosures (India)

  • Sponsored posts, paid partnerships, or material connections are disclosed clearly and prominently using ASCI‑recommended labels (for example, "Ad," "Sponsored," or platform‑specific tags) in compliance with ASCI’s Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media.

  • Disclosures must be hard to miss, in the same language as the content, and persist for the duration of the endorsement, consistent with ASCI’s framework for digital media.

User‑generated content (UGC)

  • UGC must be lawful, original, and not infringe any third‑party rights; submitting UGC represents and warrants that the user has all necessary rights and permissions, including model/property releases for identifiable persons or private property where applicable.

  • The platform may moderate, remove, or restrict UGC that violates these terms or applicable law and may share basic submission details with authorities to comply with lawful requests under the IT Rules 2021.

Reviews and endorsements

  • Reviews and endorsements should be honest and based on genuine experiences; undisclosed fabricated or incentivized reviews are prohibited and may be removed to align with Indian consumer protection policy directions concerning misleading endorsements in commerce.

  • Where the platform itself sells goods or services, the Consumer Protection (E‑commerce) Rules, 2020 and related policy directions on reviews would apply; such offerings would carry additional disclosures and processes to prevent false or misleading representations.

Privacy and data

  • Separate product‑specific or booking‑specific terms may apply and will control in the event of conflict with these general terms.

No agency and independent travel responsibility

  • The platform is not an agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of any airline, hotel, tour operator, or travel provider unless expressly stated; any bookings made via external links are solely between the user and the third‑party provider.

  • Disputes, claims, or refunds relating to third‑party bookings must be pursued directly with the applicable provider under that provider’s terms.

Limitation of liability

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, the platform and its owners, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill arising from use of the site.

Indemnity

  • Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless the platform, its owners, and affiliates from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to user content, breach of these terms, or violation of law or third‑party rights.

  • This indemnity survives termination of these terms and continued use of the site.

Termination and suspension

  • Access may be suspended or terminated, with or without notice, for any violation of these terms, suspected fraud or abuse, or to comply with legal obligations under the IT Act and IT Rules 2021.

  • Upon termination, rights granted to the user cease immediately, though certain provisions (ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will survive.

Governing law and jurisdiction (India)
