We maintain a respectful environment. Harassment, discrimination, violence, intoxication, or behaviour that endangers others may result in immediate removal from the Studio and termination of Services without refund for the unused portion where permitted by law.

11. Intellectual property

All content on our website and materials in the Studio (logos, text, images, menus, videos) is owned by us or our licensors. You receive no licence except the limited right to view and use the site for personal, non-commercial booking purposes.

12. Photography, social media, and testimonials

Before/after or promotional use of your image or story requires your separate informed consent. You may withdraw consent for future use; prior lawful publications may remain. Tagging us on social media may be treated as permission to reshare only where platform terms and our policies allow and we act reasonably.

13. Third-party links and tools

Our site may link to third parties (e.g. maps, payment pages). We are not responsible for their content or practices; your use is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

14. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Services and the website are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement except where such disclaimers are prohibited. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free website operation.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Velvet Lounge nor its owners, staff, or suppliers shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of Services or the site.

Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or Services shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the specific service giving rise to the claim in the three (3) months preceding the claim, or Indian Rupees five thousand (₹5,000), whichever is greater, except where liability cannot be limited by law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct).

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Velvet Lounge and its personnel from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, misuse of the site, violation of law, or infringement of third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

17. Force majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, power failure, strikes, government action, or supplier failures. We will use reasonable efforts to reschedule or refund prepaid amounts where appropriate.

18. Governing law, courts, and tax jurisdiction

18.1 Civil disputes and courts

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to mandatory consumer protections, courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, India shall have jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services, to the extent permitted by law (subject to any non-waivable rights you may have to initiate proceedings in another competent forum, including consumer commissions).

You may also have rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and other statutes that cannot be waived by contract.

18.2 Tax jurisdiction (GST)

For goods and services tax, our registration and reporting obligations are tied to the jurisdictional allocations recorded against GSTIN 36BRVPG5314C1ZU, summarised in Section 2 above (central/CBIC and Telangana state circles). Tax treatment, place of supply, and invoice requirements are determined under applicable CGST/SGST/IGST law and not by this Section alone.

Before formal court proceedings for contractual disputes, you agree to contact us at hello@thevelvet.in to seek an amicable resolution where reasonable.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated by email or notice at the Studio. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance, except where prior consent is required by law.

20. Severability and assignment

If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in effect. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a business transfer; you may not assign without our written consent.

21. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written consent forms or service-specific disclosures you sign, constitute the entire agreement regarding the subjects covered, superseding prior oral or written understandings on those subjects.
