By accessing or using this Website, making a donation, registering as a volunteer, or otherwise engaging with our programs and events, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of the Website.
By using this Website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, or are using the Website under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Continued use of the Website following any updates to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Jeevan Dhara Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation based in Patna, Bihar, India, working across education, women's empowerment, skill development and child protection. Our registration details, including our trust registration number and applicable tax exemption certificates, are available on request through our Contact page.
You agree to use this Website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the Website by, any third party. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
All donations made through this Website are voluntary contributions towards the Foundation's charitable programs. By donating, you agree to the terms outlined in our separate Donation Policy, which covers accepted payment methods, tax benefits, and our refund and cancellation process. Donation payments are processed by third-party, PCI-DSS-compliant payment gateways; the Foundation does not store your full card or banking details on its own servers.
Registering interest as a volunteer through this Website does not create an employment relationship, agency, or partnership between you and the Foundation. Volunteer placements are subject to a screening process, orientation, and, where relevant, background checks — particularly for roles involving direct interaction with children. The Foundation reserves the right to decline or terminate a volunteer placement at its discretion, including where conduct is inconsistent with our Child Protection Policy or Code of Conduct.
All content on this Website — including text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, and the underlying design and code — is the property of Jeevan Dhara Foundation or its licensors, and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

In short: use this site respectfully, donate and volunteer in good faith, and know that our content belongs to us — but our mission belongs to everyone who supports it.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jeevan Dhara Foundation shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of this Website, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, where such limitation is not permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jeevan Dhara Foundation, its trustees, staff, and volunteers from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Website.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Patna, Bihar.
