By downloading, installing, registering, or using VivahaMitra, you agree to be bound by these Terms. The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms, and users should read both documents together. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately uninstall the Application and cease all use of our services.
1.1 You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Platform. 1.2 By registering, you warrant that you are legally competent to enter into a marriage under applicable laws (e.g., unmarried, legally divorced, or widowed).
2.1 VivahaMitra is an intermediary platform designed to facilitate matrimonial connections. 2.2 Identity Verification Limitations: While we employ mechanisms such as phone number verification and automated Trust Scores, we do not conduct formal, legal background checks or criminal history checks. You are solely responsible for taking appropriate safety precautions when interacting with other users. 2.3 No Guarantee of Marriage: The Platform provides a medium for discovery and communication. We do not guarantee marriage, compatibility, relationship success, or any specific life outcomes. 2.4 Partner and Agent Network: VivahaMitra allows registered Matchmakers, Brokers, and Agents ("Partners") to submit candidate profiles on behalf of third-party clients. Partners must obtain prior explicit authorization and consent from candidate clients or their legal guardians before uploading any personal details, photos, or biodata documents. VivahaMitra acts as an intermediary platform and is not responsible for unauthorized profile submissions by third-party Partners.
3.1 Registration requires a valid mobile phone number verified via One-Time Password (OTP). 3.2 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account access credentials. 3.3 Account Recovery: If you lose access to your verified phone number, account recovery may be subject to manual verification processes to prevent unauthorized access.
4.1 The Platform utilizes an automated "Trust Score" to promote community safety. 4.2 What Affects Trust Score: Your Trust Score may be influenced by profile completeness, device verification, user behavior, and reports from other users. 4.3 Moderation: We use automated moderation and manual reviews. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraud, abuse other users, or create security risks, in accordance with applicable law. 4.4 Appeals: Users whose accounts have been penalized or suspended may appeal the decision through our Support Email. The Trust Score is an internal metric for community safety and does not represent legal identity verification.
