The Website is operated and/or administered by:

SREE SANKARA SEVA PARISHAD

Registered Address: 3/684/1, Palazhi, Thrissur Corporation, Vivekananda Road, Next to Girija Theatre, Patturaikkal, Thrissur, PIN - 680022, Patturaikkal Desom, Thrissur Village, Thrissur Taluk, Thrissur District, Keralam

Where charitable donations are received by an organisation different from the Website operator, the relevant receiving organisation will be identified on the donation page and/or donation receipt.

The Website is intended to provide information relating to:

• Swami Mahamandaleshwar Anandavanam Bharathi
• Spiritual teachings and messages
• Articles, speeches, videos and publications
• Events and spiritual programmes
• Social and charitable initiatives
• Humanitarian activities
• Community programmes
• Opportunities to support eligible charitable initiatives through voluntary donations

Information may be updated, modified, corrected or removed from time to time without prior notice.

Content published on the Website relating to spirituality, philosophy, meditation, wellbeing, personal development or similar subjects is provided for spiritual, educational and informational purposes.

Such content should not be interpreted as a substitute for professional medical, psychological, legal, financial or other specialised advice.

Users should seek qualified professional assistance where appropriate to their individual circumstances.

Donations made through the Website are voluntary contributions intended to support the charitable or social purposes described on the relevant donation page.

The legal entity receiving each donation will be identified during the donation process or in the donation acknowledgement or receipt.

Making a donation does not create any ownership interest, investment interest, partnership, commercial relationship or right to receive financial returns.

Donations must not be made using funds obtained unlawfully or through unauthorised payment instruments.

The donor is responsible for ensuring that information submitted during the donation process is accurate.

Donations will be applied towards the charitable, humanitarian, religious, educational, social, community or other lawful objectives of the relevant receiving organisation, subject to:

• The stated purpose of the campaign, where applicable
• Applicable laws and regulations
• The governing documents and objectives of the receiving organisation
• Reasonable administrative and operational requirements associated with carrying out charitable activities

Where a donation is made to a specifically identified campaign or purpose, reasonable efforts will be made to apply the funds towards that purpose.

If circumstances make the original purpose impracticable, impossible or no longer necessary, funds may, where legally permissible, be applied towards a substantially similar charitable purpose consistent with the objectives of the receiving organisation.

A donation acknowledgement or receipt may be issued using the information supplied by the donor.

A donation should not be assumed to qualify automatically for an income-tax deduction.

Any tax deduction or exemption available in connection with a donation depends upon factors including:

• The legal status of the recipient organisation
• The registrations or approvals held by that organisation
• The nature and method of donation
• Applicable tax laws
• The donor's individual circumstances

Where the receiving organisation holds a valid registration that permits eligible donors to claim a deduction, the relevant details may be displayed on the donation page or receipt.

Donors are responsible for obtaining independent tax advice where required.

Donations from foreign sources will be accepted only where the receiving organisation is legally permitted to receive them under applicable Indian law.

The Website or receiving organisation may:

• Restrict foreign payment methods
• Request additional donor information
• Reject a transaction
• Return funds
• Suspend processing

where reasonably necessary to meet foreign-contribution, banking, anti-fraud or other regulatory requirements.

Availability of an international payment option does not by itself mean that every foreign contribution can legally be accepted.

Because donations are voluntary charitable contributions, successfully completed donations are generally non-refundable.

However, a refund request may be considered in circumstances including:

• Duplicate payment
• Incorrect amount caused by a genuine error
• Unauthorised transaction
• Technical payment-processing error
• Circumstances where refund is required by applicable law

A refund request should be submitted to mail@mahamagham.com within 7 days of the transaction and should include:

• Donor name
• Transaction ID
• Donation date
• Donation amount
• Reason for requesting the refund

Approval of a refund will be subject to verification, applicable law, payment gateway rules and the circumstances of the transaction.

Any payment gateway, banking or processing charges that cannot be recovered may be treated in accordance with applicable law and the policies of the relevant payment provider.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment gateways, banks, UPI providers or other authorised payment service providers.

Payment processing may therefore also be subject to the terms, privacy policies and security requirements of the relevant provider.

We are not responsible for service interruptions, delays, banking failures or technical issues that arise entirely within a third-party payment provider's systems, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

Registration for programmes, events, retreats, spiritual gatherings or other activities may be subject to additional event-specific conditions.

Schedules, speakers, venues, programme formats and availability may change because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Where fees are charged for a specific event rather than received as a charitable donation, separate cancellation or refund conditions may apply and will be communicated where appropriate.

The Website may contain links to external websites, social-media services, video platforms, payment gateways, publications or other third-party services.

Such links are provided for convenience or reference.

We do not control and do not necessarily endorse all information, products, services, privacy practices or content available through third-party websites.

• Technical failures
• Payment-provider outages
• Events beyond reasonable control

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Website operator, associated charitable organisations, their representatives and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising solely from the use of or inability to use the Website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Personal information collected through the Website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Users are encouraged to read the Privacy Policy before submitting personal information or making a donation.

These Terms may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in:

• Website functionality

• Payment processes
• Organisational requirements
• Applicable laws or regulations

The revised Terms will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of India.

Subject to applicable law, courts having jurisdiction over Thrissur, Keralam, India shall have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from the use of the Website or these Terms.
