Terms of Use

Last updated: April 5, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of jyothishamu.com and any related services operated by Jyothishamu. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. Astrology Content — For Guidance Only

Jyothishamu provides astrology content — including rashi predictions, nakshatra phalalu, panchangam timings, kundali charts, and muhurta calculations — for entertainment and personal guidance purposes only.

Astrology content on this site is not a substitute for professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to medical, legal, financial, psychological, or life-decision advice. Do not make important decisions based solely on content from this site. Always consult qualified professionals for significant matters.

For important life decisions, we recommend consulting a qualified Vedic astrologer who can consider your complete birth chart and personal circumstances.

2. AI-Generated Content

Horoscope predictions, rashi phalalu, and nakshatra forecasts are generated using Claude by Anthropic, an AI language model. While we apply prompts rooted in South Indian Vedic astrology tradition and review content for quality, AI-generated text may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.

Jyothishamu makes no warranty that AI-generated predictions are accurate, complete, or suited to your individual circumstances. The predictions are intended as one input for reflection — not definitive guidance.

3. No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we strive for astronomical accuracy using industry-standard algorithms (VSOP87, Lahiri ayanamsa, Meeus Ch. 47), astrological calculations involve interpretive elements and inherent uncertainty. Panchangam timings, Rahu Kalam windows, Dasha dates, and other outputs should be treated as approximations.

Jyothishamu, its operators, and contributors are not liable for any decisions made or actions taken based on content from this site.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Jyothishamu. By using this site, you confirm that you are 13 or older. Users under 18 should use the site only with the knowledge of a parent or guardian.

5. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract content from this site for any commercial purpose
• Reproduce, republish, or redistribute prediction text, panchangam data, or other content commercially without written permission
• Use the site in any way that violates applicable Indian or international law
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or circumvent the site's security or rate-limiting systems
• Use automated tools to generate bulk Kundali calculations without our prior consent
• Represent AI-generated content from this site as your own original work for commercial gain

Personal, non-commercial sharing of individual predictions or panchangam data (e.g., sharing today's panchangam in a WhatsApp group) is permitted and encouraged, provided Jyothishamu.com is credited as the source.

6. Intellectual Property

The Jyothishamu name, logo, site design, and original content (excluding AI-generated predictions) are the property of Jyothishamu. All rights reserved. Underlying astronomical data (tithi names, nakshatra names, planetary positions) are part of the public domain of Vedic tradition.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

Jyothishamu is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time without notice.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Jyothishamu and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of this site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in India. The Information Technology Act 2000 and applicable rules apply where relevant.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when changes were last made. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
