B. The Website

5. BookMyGuru is a Venue; Third-Party Content

BookMyGuru is a venue for informational and educational purposes, connecting Gurus with Customers who seek their expertise. Gurus are independent service providers using the Site to sell their expertise to Customers. BookMyGuru does not directly provide the content of advice or expertise; instead, we serve as a platform where Users exchange knowledge.

BookMyGuru is not responsible for the content shared between Customers and Gurus. We do not guarantee the performance or accuracy of any Guru’s advice, nor do we ensure that a Guru will respond to a query. However, we reserve the right to remove content or restrict access to the Site at our discretion.

6. Posts Are Not Private or Confidential

All communication through BookMyGuru, including messages, posts, and other interactions, is not confidential and may be read by others, including search engines indexing this content. If you wish to keep your communication private, you must explicitly request this through the appropriate settings on the Site.

7. Verification of Gurus

BookMyGuru verifies that Gurus have at least one credential relevant to their area of expertise. However, this verification is based solely on the information provided by the Guru or a third-party verification service. BookMyGuru does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of the information provided by Gurus.

C. User Accounts

9. User Accounts; Termination of Service

As a User, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information. You agree to notify BookMyGuru of any unauthorized use of your account. If your account is terminated or suspended, you may not create another account without permission.
