Terms of Service

Welcome to Hari Kirtan. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website and services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

About the Service

Hari Kirtan is a devotional resource for the Swaminarayan satsang community. We provide kīrtan lyrics in Gujarati, Hindi, and related languages, thoughtful translations, audio with karaoke-style highlighting, and optional AI-assisted features to help you explore meaning and context.

The Service is offered in good faith for personal, family, and satsang use. It is not an official publication of any mandir, organisation, or religious authority.

Accounts

You may browse much of the Service without an account. Some features (such as favourites, AI-assisted Ask and Arth, and saved preferences) require a free account.

When you register, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information and keep it up to date
• Keep your login credentials secure
• Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account

You are responsible for activity under your account.

Sacred content and respectful use

Kīrtan lyrics and devotional material on this site are treated with care. You agree to:

• Use the Service respectfully and in a spirit appropriate to satsang
• Not misuse, scrape, or bulk-download content in ways that harm the community or our infrastructure
• Not attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or overload the Service
• Not use the Service for unlawful, harassing, or misleading purposes

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

AI-assisted features

The Service may offer AI-generated explanations, answers, and summaries (“AI content”), including Ask and Arth (full meaning).

Important:

• AI content is assistive only. It is clearly marked and is never presented as scripture, official doctrine, or a substitute for traditional learning, ācārya guidance, or your own study.
• AI output may be incomplete or inaccurate. Always verify important matters through trusted sources in your sampradāya.
• Do not rely on AI content for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Your questions and prompts may be processed by third-party AI providers to generate responses. See our Privacy Policy for how that data is handled.

Credits and usage limits

We may apply fair usage limits (for example, a number of AI questions per session for visitors, or monthly credits for signed-in users) to keep the Service sustainable for the community. Limits, if any, may change; we will try to communicate material changes clearly on the site.

Content, accuracy, and intellectual property

Our content

Lyrics, translations, layouts, audio synchronisation, and site design are curated or created for Hari Kirtan. Unless stated otherwise, these materials are protected by applicable copyright and related rights.

You may read, listen, print pages for personal or family satsang use, and share links to kīrtan pages. You may not republish large portions of the site, sell our content, or remove attribution without permission.

Traditional kīrtan

Many kīrtans are part of long-standing devotional tradition. We aim to present them respectfully. If you believe content on the site infringes your rights or is incorrectly attributed, please contact us.

Your feedback

If you send suggestions, corrections, or messages through our contact form, you grant us permission to use that feedback to improve the Service without obligation to you.

Third-party services

The Service may rely on hosting, authentication, email, analytics, payment (if applicable), and AI providers. Your use of those features may also be subject to their terms and policies.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components
• We do not warrant the completeness or accuracy of lyrics, translations, audio timing, or AI content
• You use the Service at your own discretion and risk

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Hari Kirtan and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from your use of the Service.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) one hundred Indian rupees (₹100), if you have not paid for the Service.

Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may update the Service or these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts in Chandigarh, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.
