2. Description of Service

Vedikks is a Vedic astrology (Jyotish) platform that provides personalised birth chart analysis, daily/weekly/monthly forecasts, and AI-powered astrological consultations based on your birth details. The Service is available via web browsers at vedikks.com and vedikks.in.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement. Users under 18 may use the Service only under parental or guardian supervision.

6. Nature of Astrological Content

Vedikks provides astrological readings for entertainment, informational, and spiritual exploration purposes only. Astrological readings are based on classical Vedic (Jyotish) traditions and mathematical calculations of planetary positions. They do not constitute professional advice — whether medical, legal, financial, or psychological. You should not make important life decisions based solely on astrological readings. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any prediction or forecast.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vedikks Technologies shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that astrological readings will be accurate or suitable for any purpose.

11. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify users of material changes via the app or email.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at our discretion, without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the Service.
