Last Updated: October 17, 2026 · Effective Date: October 17, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the SanghaConnect mobile application, website (sanghaconnect.com), APIs, or related community services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the platform.
2. The Sangha Covenant & Ethical Conduct
SanghaConnect is founded on the principles of truthfulness (Satya), respect, and conscious living. All participants—whether seekers, freelancers, ashrams, or enterprise founders—commit to the following:
- Authentic Representation: Sadhana schedules, ashram experiences, skills, and organizational missions must be accurate and truthful. No exaggerated or fraudulent claims.
- Respect for Sadhana: Conscious employers and ventures agree to honor practitioners’ daily spiritual routines, retreat needs, and meditative boundaries as mutually agreed upon.
- No Harassment or Spam: Unsolicited marketing, aggressive recruitment pitches, or derogatory conduct will result in immediate account termination.
3. Sacred Seva (Volunteer) Protection Policy
The SanghaConnect Volunteer (Seva) Board is established as a sacred community space to support spiritual ashrams, temples, ecological restoration, and charitable community projects:
- Non-Commercialization: No fee may be charged to seekers for participating in verified volunteer seva.
- No Disguised Commercial Labor: For-profit entities may not post unpaid commercial roles on the Volunteer Board under the guise of seva. Commercial roles must be posted through legitimate tri-modal compensation listings (Full-time CTC, Freelance Contract, or Hosted Living).
4. Accounts, Authentication & Google OAuth
When registering via Google Sign-In or other supported authentication methods, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and current information.
- Maintain the security and confidentiality of your credentials.
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach affecting your account.
5. Intellectual Property & User Content
You retain full ownership of all text, portfolios, testimonials, and media you publish on SanghaConnect. By publishing, you grant SanghaConnect a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, format, and present your profile content within the platform for the sole purpose of facilitating candidate-employer connections.
All platform interfaces, proprietary algorithms, design tokens, logos, and brand assets remain the exclusive intellectual property of SanghaConnect.
6. Account Termination
You may terminate your account at any time within the mobile app or by contacting connect.sangha@gmail.com. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach community safety, violate ethical seva guidelines, or engage in fraudulent activities.
7. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers
SanghaConnect acts as a curated introduction platform. While we conduct community verification, each employer and seeker is responsible for conducting their own formal due diligence, legal agreements, and contract executions. SanghaConnect is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
