All original Content on VedKosh — page designs, illustrations, photography, text compilations, structured editorial summaries, the VedAI prompt engineering, and the VedKosh logo and brand — is the intellectual property of VedKosh and its creators, and is protected by Indian and international copyright, trademark and related laws.

Traditional prayers, scriptures and devotional texts (Bhagavad Gita, Ramayan, Vedas, Puranas, classical Stotras, etc.) are in the public domain and are presented for educational and devotional use. We do not claim copyright over the underlying sacred texts themselves.

You may quote short excerpts of our compilations for personal, non-commercial, and educational use with proper attribution to VedKosh (vedkosh.com).

VedAI and AI Hast Rekha are powered by Google Gemini. AI Output is guidance-oriented and may contain inaccuracies, omissions or out-of-context information. VedKosh does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, scriptural fidelity, or suitability of any AI Output for any specific ritual or decision.

You are responsible for evaluating AI Output before acting on it. For important rituals, vows, sanskaras or life decisions, consult original scriptures or a qualified scholar, Pandit, Acharya or Guru. See our Disclaimer for full AI limitations.

When you submit feedback (likes, dislikes, comments, contact-form messages, error reports), you grant VedKosh a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use that feedback to improve the Service. You will not be paid for feedback, and we will not publicly attribute it to you.

You confirm that any feedback you submit is your own, lawful, and does not infringe the rights of any third party.

VedKosh displays advertising through Google AdSense to keep the Service free for everyone. Ad content is served by third-party networks and does not represent endorsement by VedKosh.

VedKosh links to external resources (Wikipedia, government tourism sites, the Google Play Store, social platforms) and integrates third-party services (Google Gemini, Google AdSense, Vercel hosting). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, accuracy or availability of third-party resources. Access them at your own discretion.

VedKosh is a pure Hindu spiritual platform rooted in Sanatana Dharma. Our editorial policy prohibits promotion of non-Hindu religions, syncretic presentation, or comparative theology framings. Historical or architectural mentions of non-Hindu figures appear only where necessary to describe a Hindu temple or tradition. We reserve the right to refuse, edit or remove any content or feedback that violates this policy.

We strive for high uptime, but VedKosh is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We may modify, suspend, discontinue, rename or restrict any feature, tool or content at any time, without prior notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the Service.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VedKosh, its team, contributors and affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Service, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of VedKosh after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and VedKosh regarding the Service.
