Terms of Service

1. The Services

Davetti is a place to create and share celebrations. On davetti.in you can create Spaces, publish Events and follow what others celebrate. On world.davetti.in you can explore maps of festivals around the world, Durga Puja first. We may add, change or remove features over time, and some features may be available only while the Services are invite-only or in testing.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old, or have the verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian, to create an account.
• Give accurate information and keep it up to date. One person, one account, unless we agree otherwise.
• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@davetti.in if you believe someone else has used it.
• If you use the Services on behalf of an organisation, such as a puja committee or a business, you confirm that you are authorised to act for it, and these Terms bind it as well as you.

3. Spaces and Events

Every account has a personal Space, and you can create or join group, community and business Spaces. Events belong to a Space. The people who manage a Space decide who may join it, who may manage it and what it publishes, and they are responsible for its Events and for the information they give about them, such as dates, places and what attendees can expect. Davetti does not organise, host or attend Events and is not a party to any arrangement between hosts and attendees.

4. Puja listings and the map

Many puja listings are compiled from publicly available information and have not been confirmed by their organisers. Each listing shows how far it has been verified. Dates, timings, addresses and other details may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, so please check with the organisers before you travel. An organiser may claim a listing to correct and manage it; we may ask for evidence that you represent the puja before approving a claim, and we may reverse a claim made without authority.

5. Your content

• You keep ownership of the text, photos and other material you add to the Services (“your content”).
• You give us a licence: a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, display, adapt (for example resize or translate) and distribute your content, only as needed to operate, show and improve the Services and according to the visibility you choose. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies others have already shared, backups kept for a limited period, and what we must keep by law.
• You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the rights to share it, including permission from people who appear in your photos where needed, and that it does not break the law or these Terms.
• We may remove or restrict content that we reasonably believe breaks these Terms or the law, or when the law requires us to.

6. Acceptable use

When you use the Services, you must not:

• post content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, or that infringes someone else’s rights, including intellectual property and privacy;
• post content that is harmful to children or that threatens the unity, integrity or public order of India or any other country;
• impersonate anyone, misrepresent your connection with a person or organisation, or claim a listing you do not represent;
• publish false or misleading information about an Event or a puja, or use the Services to defraud anyone;
• send spam or unsolicited messages, or collect other users’ personal data without their consent;
• scrape, crawl or copy the Services or their data by automated means, except as allowed by our robots.txt or with our written permission;
• probe, disrupt or overload the Services, get around security or access limits, or upload malware;
• use the Services in any way that breaks applicable law.

7. Third-party services and links

The Services use and link to services run by others, such as sign-in with Google and map data from OpenStreetMap. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services, or for content we do not control.

8. Our rights

The Services, including their design, software, the Davetti name and logo, illustrations and the way puja listings are compiled and presented, belong to Davetti or its licensors and are protected by law. These Terms give you a personal, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Services as intended, and no other right. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

9. Suspension and closing your account

You can stop using the Services and close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account, or limit access to the Services, if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if we must do so by law, or to protect users, the public or the Services. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. Sections 5 (for content already shared), 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 continue after your account ends.

10. Disclaimers

We work hard to keep the Services useful and available, but they are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no promise that they will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that information on them, including Events and puja listings, is accurate, complete or current. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Davetti is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services, from Events or from the conduct of other users or hosts. Our total liability to you for any claim about the Services is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the claim and ₹5,000. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

12. Indemnity

If a third party makes a claim against Davetti because of your content, the Events you host, or your breach of these Terms or the law, you will compensate us for reasonable losses and costs that result, to the extent the law allows.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts of Kolkata have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them or from the Services. Before going to court, please contact us so that we can try to resolve the matter informally. If you live outside India, you may also have rights under the law of your country that these Terms cannot override.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version here with a new “Last updated” date and, if the changes are significant, tell you through the Services or by email before they take effect. If you keep using the Services after that, you accept the new Terms.
