Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 27, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SevaVani ("the Platform"), a volunteer coordination service for ISKCON temples and spiritual communities, operated by Adithya Nair ("SevaVani," "we," "us," or "our") at sevavani.com.

By accessing or using SevaVani, you agree to these Terms. If you are an Administrator acting on behalf of an Organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that Organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. The Service

SevaVani provides tools for ISKCON temples and spiritual communities to coordinate volunteer service: managing seva assignments, availability, schedules, and sending reminders. The Platform is operated by Adithya Nair as an individual developer.

You must be at least 18 years old to use SevaVani. Administrators must not add individuals under 18 to the platform.

2. Accounts and Access

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Login links and one-time codes are confidential — do not share them. You must provide accurate account information. Organizations may use SevaVani only for volunteer and service coordination within a temple or spiritual community context.

Administrators bear responsibility for the accuracy of volunteer data entered into the Platform and must have a lawful basis to add volunteer information. Administrators must promptly remove access for volunteers no longer associated with their Organization.

SevaVani is operated from California, USA and is designed for US-based temples and spiritual communities. If you represent an organization outside the United States, contact contact@sevavani.com before onboarding.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

SevaVani reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account found to be in violation of these Terms, without prior notice in cases of serious violations.

4. Data and Privacy

Your use of SevaVani is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We do not sell your personal information. Organizations retain ownership of their data; upon request before deletion, SevaVani will make reasonable efforts to provide a data export.

5. Service Availability

SevaVani is provided "as is" and "as available." No uptime guarantee or SLA is offered for the current free tier. SevaVani reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform at any time, with reasonable notice for material changes that affect your data or access. Auto-assignment suggestions are not guaranteed to be accurate and are subject to administrator review and override.

6. Intellectual Property

SevaVani and its technology, design, branding, and content are owned by Adithya Nair and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or sublicense any part of the Platform without prior written consent. Organizations and users retain all rights in the content they submit.

7. Disclaimers

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS SEVAVANI'S OBLIGATIONS TO YOU.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SEVAVANI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES; EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8. Limitation of Liability

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS THE DAMAGES YOU CAN RECOVER FROM SEVAVANI.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ADITHYA NAIR OR SEVAVANI BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM.

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SEVAVANI FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100.00). THESE LIMITATIONS REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK GIVEN THAT THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adithya Nair and SevaVani from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

10. Termination

By you: Volunteers may self-delete at any time via account settings. Organizations may request account deletion through the designated flow; all Organization data is permanently deleted upon confirmation.

By SevaVani: We may suspend or terminate access for any breach of these Terms, illegal activity, or to protect the integrity of the Platform. Upon termination of an Organization account, all associated data is permanently deleted. Sections 6–9 and 11 survive termination.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of California. Before initiating any formal proceeding, please contact contact@sevavani.com and allow 30 days for informal resolution.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last Updated" date above and, for material changes, notify primary administrators via email. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Copyright / DMCA

SevaVani respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our designated DMCA agent:

DMCA Agent: Adithya Nair
SevaVani — sevavani.com
contact@sevavani.com

A valid takedown notice must include: (1) a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; (2) a description of the infringing material and its location on the Platform sufficient for us to locate it; (3) your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email address); (4) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.

If you believe that material you posted was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Counter-notifications must include substantially the same information as a takedown notice, along with a statement consenting to jurisdiction of the federal district court for your location and a statement that you accept service of process from the party who submitted the original notice.

SevaVani reserves the right to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
