🪷 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.

Reader-Local Terms Boundary · Public Offering Anywhere On Bhūmi

These terms apply to the public seva surface as received by each reader: Goloka/Vraja Rādhā-Krishna → Vaikuṇṭha Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa → Mahāviṣṇu/Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Brahmā → Kṣīrodaka Paramātmā/Antaryāmī (Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) → Bhūmi → reader's own kṣetra anywhere on Bhūmi → browser/silicon pathway → Vidhyamitra substrate → reader/seer. Professional-advice limits, acceptable-use duties, and local-law responsibilities remain reader-local.

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 proleptic deep-time model output → 429,000 CE operational range
• Jyotiṣa reference (grahas, rāśis, nakshatras, tithis, karaṇas) per classical BPHS
• Bhagavad-Gītā reader (18 adhyāyas · 701 received śloka addresses · up to five English translations and commentaries · Hindi translation and vyākhyā on 700 pages)
• Śrīmad Bhāgavatam bhakti-liberation reading path · 13,003 reading pages + 14,094 citable verse references
• Readable Mahābhārata, Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, and Rāmcharitamānas transcriptions with edition, completeness, and address limits disclosed on their text pages
• Saṁskāra muhūrta-finding per Manu Smṛti
• 10 Mukhya Upaniṣad doctrinal content + 4 Mahā-Vākyas
• 10 Daśāvatāra deep-pages · Rāma source and devotional pathways with explicit chronology limits

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 test suite verified before each release), 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

Ancient root texts and modern editions, transcriptions, translations, and commentaries do not share one automatic rights status. Vidhyamitra documents each received corpus and withholds unresolved layers from search discovery; a database license is not presented as a license to every item within it. The Vidhyamitra-specific editorial structure and computational implementation are © Vidhyamitra (2026). The source code is self-hosted and not open-source (see access model). You may freely read and link to the public pages; reuse of attributed source layers remains subject to the rights attached to those layers.

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 operators 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 courts of competent jurisdiction in India.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated periodically. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
