🪷 Terms of Service
Last updated: 13 May 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Vidhyamitra (the website at https://vidhyamitra.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the substrate.
Nature of Content
Vidhyamitra's content is educational and spiritual. It is drawn from classical Vedic-Sanskrit sources (Bhagavad-Gītā, Manu Smṛti, 10 Mukhya Upaniṣads, Bṛhat-Parāśara-Horā-Śāstra, Sūrya-Siddhānta, Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Mahābhārata) and computed via first-principles Sūrya-Siddhānta algorithms.
The substrate provides:
- Computational pañchāṅga (Vedic almanac) for any date in the 1.6M BCE → 429K CE range
- Jyotiṣa reference (grahas, rāśis, nakshatras, tithis, karaṇas) per classical BPHS
- Bhagavad-Gītā chapter analyses (all 18 chapters)
- Saṁskāra muhūrta-finding per Manu Smṛti
- 10 Mukhya Upaniṣad doctrinal content
- 10 Daśāvatāra deep-pages
- Festival catalogue (124 festivals across pan-Indian traditions)
NOT-Advice Disclaimer
Vidhyamitra does NOT provide individualized professional advice of any kind. Specifically:
- Not medical advice — content discussing health, healing, or wellness is informational/spiritual. Consult a licensed physician for medical decisions.
- Not financial advice — content discussing wealth, prosperity, or material outcomes is doctrinal/spiritual. Consult a licensed financial advisor for monetary decisions.
- Not legal advice — Vedic-dharma discussions are not substitutes for jurisdiction-specific legal counsel.
- Not predictive guarantees — chart-readings, daśā-analyses, and yoga-detections are classical-doctrinal frameworks; they are NOT guarantees of future outcomes. Free will and karma operate beyond mechanical prediction.
- Not psychiatric / mental-health advice — meditation, sannyāsa, or spiritual-state discussions are doctrinal; mental-health emergencies require licensed professional help.
No Warranty
The substrate is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. While we strive for computational accuracy (every value engine-computed, zero placeholders, regression-locked via 880+ tests), we make no guarantee that:
- The site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times
- Every chart-computation matches every classical tradition exactly (different ayanāṁśa systems yield different results; we use Lahirī by default · see /computational-moat)
- Future content will preserve all current features
- Translations from Sanskrit are definitive (Sanskrit is multivalent; every translation is an approximation)
Intellectual Property
The classical Vedic content (Sanskrit ślokas, doctrinal frameworks) is in the public domain by tradition. The Vidhyamitra-specific commentary, structure, and computational implementation are © Vidhyamitra (2026) under sole stewardship of the founder. The source-code is self-hosted and not open-source (see access model). The substrate website itself is the public offering — you may freely read, share, link to, and cite the pages.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use Vidhyamitra for personal, educational, and dharmic purposes. You may NOT:
- Scrape the substrate at a rate that disrupts service for other users (reasonable use by AI agents is explicitly welcomed via /llms.txt)
- Attempt to reverse-engineer the source-code or circumvent the access-model
- Use the content to make claims of professional advisory authority you do not legitimately hold
- Misrepresent Vidhyamitra-content as your own original work without citation
Third-Party Services
Vidhyamitra uses:
- Cloudflare for CDN, DDoS protection, and SSL — see Cloudflare's terms
- Google AdSense for advertising — see Google's terms and our Privacy Policy
These services have their own terms; your use of Vidhyamitra constitutes acceptance of those third-party terms where applicable.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vidhyamitra and its founder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the substrate, including but not limited to: decisions made based on chart-readings, panchang-information, festival-dates, or doctrinal content.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
