7. Advertising, External Links, and Sponsored Material

The Platform may display third-party advertisements, sponsored material, or links to external websites. Their content, claims, privacy practices, goods, and services are controlled by those third parties, not by Bagaha Live. Inclusion does not mean endorsement.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bagaha Live and its operators, editors, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, reputation, data, or opportunity, arising from or relating to use of the Platform.

10. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bagaha Live, its operators, editors, affiliates, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, and expenses arising out of your content, your breach of these Terms, your violation of law, or your infringement of another party's rights.

11. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate access to the Platform, and may preserve or remove content, where we believe it is necessary for policy enforcement, legal compliance, safety, abuse prevention, editorial decisions, or operational reasons.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, disputes arising from the Platform will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts having competent jurisdiction in India.

15. Severability and Survival

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. Provisions relating to licenses, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, archived content, and dispute handling survive termination.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after revised Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
