Advertising Terms & Disclaimer

1. About sponsored banners

JyotishGrid shows sponsored banners inside the JyotishGrid app and on our website. Every sponsored banner is labelled “Sponsored” so it can be told apart from JyotishGrid's own content.

Advertising currently runs as a pilot. During the pilot it is free of charge, by invitation only, and every banner is reviewed and placed by the JyotishGrid team.

2. Who can advertise

• During the pilot, only advertisers invited and approved by JyotishGrid.
• You may promote only your own services, or an institute or business that you own or are officially authorised to represent.
• One advertiser identity per JyotishGrid account, and initially one active banner at a time.
• Any exception needs written approval from JyotishGrid.

3. Information we ask for

When you express interest or submit a banner, we ask for:

• Your legal or professional name and your JyotishGrid account email
• Your business or institute name, where relevant
• Your contact details
• The link the banner should open
• Your confirmation that you own, or are authorised to advertise, what you are promoting

For a company or institute, we may ask for evidence that the business operates or that you are authorised to act for it.

4. Review before a banner goes live

Before publishing, we check that you have accepted the current version of these terms, and we review the final banner: its claims, names, images, credentials, offers, call to action and the page it links to. You approve the final banner and link before it is shown.

Each submission is:

• Approved when the content and link meet these terms;
• Returned for changes when a small correction or supporting evidence is needed; or
• Rejected when it breaks these terms or cannot be verified well enough.

5. Content we don't accept

• Guaranteed marriage, wealth, employment, lottery or other outcomes that cannot be verified
• Claims to cure, diagnose or treat medical conditions without lawful authorisation and proper substantiation
• Fear-based, coercive or exploitative messages, especially those aimed at vulnerable people
• False experience, qualifications, certifications, awards, endorsements or testimonials
• Images, logos or photographs you don't have the rights to, and impersonation of anyone
• Fraudulent services, phishing, deceptive redirects or unsafe links
• Illegal products or services, or anything that breaks consumer-protection or sector rules
• Any suggestion that JyotishGrid endorses, certifies or guarantees you

6. Banners designed by JyotishGrid

If our team designs your banner, we use only the facts you give us and images you are authorised to use. We never invent credentials, client testimonials, professional photos, outcomes or logos. We send you the final banner and link for your approval before it is published.

7. Disclaimer

• Sponsored banners are advertisements by independent advertisers. JyotishGrid does not endorse, certify or guarantee any advertiser, or the services, products, claims or results they offer.
• Anyone who contacts or buys from an advertiser does so directly with that advertiser and at their own discretion. JyotishGrid is not a party to that arrangement.
• JyotishGrid does not promise advertisers any number of views, clicks, leads or sales. Banners rotate, and where and how often a banner appears may change.

8. Removal and reporting a banner

We may pause or remove a banner at any time, including after complaints, a change to the linked page, safety concerns, misleading content or a breach of these terms. Where appropriate we will ask the advertiser for clarification or evidence, and we restore a banner only after review.

To report a banner, email support@jyotishgrid.com with the banner's name or a screenshot and what concerns you.

9. Records we keep

We keep a record of your acceptance of these terms and which version you accepted, each version of your banner and its link, your approval of the final banner, our review decisions and their dates, and any complaints and removals. Access to these records is restricted, and they are handled under our Privacy Policy.

10. Your declaration

By accepting these terms you confirm that you are authorised to advertise the services you submit, that the information you give us is accurate, and that your advertisement will comply with these terms.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version and date at the top of this page show the current terms, and we may ask you to accept a new version before your banner continues to run.
