While every reasonable effort is made to maintain factual accuracy, Shri Ram Hindurashtra Mandir, its construction committee, authorized representatives, and website administrators make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the completeness, reliability, suitability, or absolute precision of any information contained herein. Any action you take upon the information you find on this website is strictly at your own voluntary discretion and risk.

1.2 External Links & Third-Party Hyperlinks Disclaimer

From this website, you may visit other websites or launch external applications by following hyperlinks or payment scheme protocols. While we endeavor to provide only quality links to verified, ethical, and secure platforms (such as the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and authorized banking applications), we possess no editorial or technical control over the content, uptime, security policies, data collection, or operational nature of these external platforms.

The inclusion of any external link does not imply an endorsement or recommendation of all content or practices found on those platforms. External site operators and application configurations may alter without prior notice, potentially before we have the opportunity to update or remove an inactive or altered link. When navigating away from our portal or opening third-party UPI applications (e.g., Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, or individual mobile banking portals), you are governed by their respective independent Terms of Service and Privacy Policies.

1.3 Third-Party UPI Apps & Banking Infrastructure Disclaimer

This website operates as an informational front-end and dynamic intent-link generator. We do not act as a payment gateway, payment aggregator, or financial bank. Payment processing occurs exclusively through the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) UPI network and your issuing bank. Under no circumstances shall Shri Ram Hindurashtra Mandir, its treasury representatives, or committee members be held liable for:

• Technical errors, server downtime, or timeouts occurring on third-party UPI applications (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, etc.).
• Network drops, bank server maintenance delays, or momentary duplicate debits triggered by the user's mobile device or issuing bank.
• Failure of third-party apps to parse UPI URI parameters due to operating system permission restrictions or third-party in-app browser constraints.

1.4 Architectural Renders & Construction Timelines

All architectural drawings, 3D computerized renders (including Nagara-style complex depictions), dimensional layouts, and estimated milestones displayed on this website reflect prospective architectural designs. Physical construction is executed in phases and remains subject to ground civil engineering assessments, geological stability, weather conditions, availability of artisan stonemasons, logistical supply of materials, and regulatory compliance. Minor variations between artistic visualizations and finalized structural execution may occur.

1.5 Express Limitation of Liability

To the absolute maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Shri Ram Hindurashtra Mandir, its construction committee, authorized treasury representatives, trustees, affiliates, volunteers, and technical partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary losses or damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, financial losses, loss of goodwill, data corruption, or technical failures) arising directly or indirectly from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its payment redirection facilities.

1.6 Devotee Consent

By accessing, browsing, or utilizing this website and its donation facilities, you hereby formally consent to our Disclaimer and unconditionally agree to all terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.1 Nature of Contribution: Voluntary Religious Daan

All financial transfers submitted through this website are classified strictly as unconditional voluntary religious offerings (Daan / Seva / Samarpan) under ancient Bharatiya dharmic traditions and the legal framework governing voluntary gifts. Contributions are tendered freely by the devotee as a personal devotional act toward building the temple of Prabhu Shri Ram. Contributions do not constitute commercial consideration, investments, deposits, loans, or purchases of commercial merchandise.

2.2 Symbolic Nature of Material Categories (No Commercial Sale of Goods)

The donation options listed on this platform—including Brick Daan, Steel Daan, Marble Daan, and Square Feet Daan—are symbolic contribution units established solely to assist devotees in visualizing material costs and choosing an amount aligned with their devotional capacity.

2.3 Eligibility & Legal Capacity of Devotee

By initiating a daan through this website, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age and hold the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
• You are remitting funds from your own lawful personal bank account or authorized payment instrument.
• The funds utilized originate from legitimate sources and comply in all respects with Indian banking standards and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

2.4 Treasury Account Routing & Waiver of Misrepresentation Claims

Devotees are fully notified prior to payment that all collections are currently routed into the designated Treasury Account on behalf of the construction committee (“daan treasury ji ke account mai jama hoga”). Devotees explicitly waive any right to claim confusion, fraudulent inducement, or misrepresentation concerning the name of the individual or designated treasury account holder displayed inside their UPI application during payment confirmation.

2.5 Anti-Abuse Safeguards & Transaction Ceilings

To maintain transaction integrity, guard against money laundering, and prevent accidental over-contribution, this website implements automated platform bounds, including a single-transaction cap (maximum Rs 7,100 per transfer). Any attempt to bypass, reverse-engineer, exploit, or spam payment generation endpoints using automated bots, scripts, or crawler tools is strictly prohibited and subject to immediate IP blocking and legal reporting under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

2.6 Verification and Digital Acknowledgements

Submitting a 12-digit UPI Reference / UTR number through Step 3 of the payment flow registers a pending reconciliation record with our administrative accounts desk. An offering is formally recorded as “Verified / Paid” only after the committee account reconciles the unique UTR against incoming bank ledger credits. Devotional digital receipts are issued purely as spiritual acknowledgements of pious seva.

2.7 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shri Ram Hindurashtra Mandir, its construction committee members, authorized treasury account holders, volunteers, and technical personnel from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal counsel fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, unauthorized use of third-party payment instruments, or submission of fraudulent or forged transaction identifiers.

2.8 Governing Law & Exclusive Territorial Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions, Disclaimers, and all matters relating to your access to this website and offering of daan shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the Republic of India. In the event of any legal dispute, controversy, or proceeding, the competent courts having territorial jurisdiction over the temple's site location in Uttar Pradesh, India shall exercise exclusive jurisdiction, to the exclusion of all other courts.

3.1 Minimal Data We Collect

We collect strictly the minimum personal information required to safely identify, reconcile, and acknowledge your voluntary contribution:

• Devotee Full Name: Required to generate the customized spiritual acknowledgement.
• 10-digit Indian Mobile Number: Required to associate your transaction reference and provide status lookups.
• Optional Email Address: Collected only if provided voluntarily for digital receipt dispatch.
• Transaction Identifiers: Unique Order Reference ID (e.g. SRHM-XXXXXX) generated by our system, and the 12-digit Bank UTR / UPI Reference Number provided by you upon payment completion.
• Technical Telemetry: Anonymized server logs, IP addresses, and user-agent strings collected temporarily for rate-limiting, firewall security, and DDoS protection.

3.2 Absolute Financial Security: What We NEVER Collect

3.3 Purpose & Utilization of Data

The personal information collected is utilized strictly for the following legitimate purposes:

• Cross-verifying your submitted UTR against incoming bank statements for accounting reconciliation.
• Updating transaction status in the temple administrative ledger.
• Issuing electronic receipts, digital certificates, and spiritual blessings.
• Resolving devotee-initiated support inquiries or accidental duplicate payment claims.

3.4 Strict Non-Disclosure & Anti-Commercial Guarantee

We respect the sanctity of devotional seva. We do NOT sell, rent, lease, monetize, share, or trade devotee contact information, phone numbers, or donation amounts to any commercial data brokers, advertising networks, telemarketers, or marketing firms. Your data is accessed solely by authorized committee accounts personnel bound by confidentiality.

3.5 Data Retention and Security Architecture

Devotee donation records are retained in encrypted, secure server environments to fulfill statutory trust accounting, financial auditing, and administrative record-keeping obligations under Indian law. We implement robust cryptographic protocols (TLS/HTTPS encryption in transit, parameter sanitation, and strict administrative session authentication) to shield records against unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction.

3.6 Devotee Rights & Contact

Devotees hold the right to inspect their recorded details, seek rectification of typographical errors in names or contact numbers, or inquire about the status of their transaction by contacting our desk at [COMMITTEE EMAIL].

4.1 Irrevocable Religious Offering (General Rule)

In accordance with the religious tenets of Sanatan Dharma and established legal principles concerning charitable and religious endowments, all contributions offered toward Shri Ram Hindurashtra Mandir are unconditional, irrevocable, and non-refundable once remitted into the designated treasury account. Once a devotee voluntarily submits an offering, the funds become sacred consecrated trust property allocated immediately toward civil building works and sacred obligations.

4.2 Protocol for Genuine Accidental Duplicate Transactions

While individual voluntary offerings cannot be cancelled, the Committee acknowledges that occasional technical glitches, mobile network hiccups, or inadvertent double-taps may cause an unintentional duplicate deduction of the exact same amount. In such rare instances, the Committee provides a fair, transparent review protocol:

4.3 Prohibition of Bad-Faith Chargebacks

Devotees agree that initiating frivolous or bad-faith chargebacks, fraudulent dispute claims with banking providers, or false claims of unauthorized transactions after having voluntarily initiated payment undermines the sacred seva of the temple. The Committee reserves the right to present system server logs, UTR records, and verification proofs to dispute resolution authorities and law enforcement in response to fraudulent claims.
