Terms and Conditions

1. About these terms

The GVN portal is operated by Goswami Vagishkumar Networking LLP, Dwarkadhish Mandir, Nicho Bhatvado, Mehsana, Gujarat ("GVN", "we", "us"). These terms apply to everyone who applies for membership, holds an Account, or uses the portal ("you").

By ticking the consent box on the application form, or by using the portal, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not apply or use the portal.

2. Who may apply

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement under Indian law.
• Your business must hold a valid GSTIN or trade licence. Growth and Leadership plans also require annual turnover above the plan's published threshold, supported by audited statements or a signed CA certificate.
• You may hold only one Account and one open Application at a time. An Account that holds a District, Zone, State or National leadership role cannot also hold a Membership.

3. Applications and approval

• Everything you submit, including business details and evidence documents, must be true, complete and your own to share.
• Your District reviews each Application. It may ask for clarification, approve, reject, or transfer the Application to the right District. Submitting an Application does not guarantee approval.
• Approval reserves a place in a Group for a limited period while you make the membership payment. Membership starts only after the payment is verified and a Group is assigned.
• If we later find that information you gave was false or misleading, we may reject the Application or end the Membership.

4. Membership contribution and renewal

• Each plan has a yearly contribution shown on the application form. Payment is currently made by bank transfer or UPI and checked by hand by your District.
• Membership runs for one year from activation. Renewal keeps the same anniversary date.
• If you do not renew on time, your membership may lapse after the grace period and can be reinstated under the rules shown in the portal.
• A change of plan takes effect from the start of the next membership year.

5. Your Account

• Keep your password private and do not let anyone else use your Account. You are responsible for activity under your Account.
• Tell us at once if you think someone else has used your Account.
• Keep your email address, mobile number and business details up to date.

6. How Members must behave

When you use the portal you must not:

• Give false information, pretend to be someone else, or hide information that matters to your Application.
• Copy, export, sell or share other Members' details, or use the Member Directory for spam or unsolicited marketing.
• Post Business Leads, Opportunities, jobs or responses that are false, misleading, unlawful or offensive.
• Upload files that contain viruses or harmful code, or try to break, overload or get around the portal's security.
• Harass, threaten or discriminate against any Member, office bearer or Advisor.
• File false or frivolous complaints, including with the Data Protection Board of India.

7. Business Leads, Opportunities and dealings between Members

• GVN helps Members find and introduce business. It is not a party to any deal, quotation, order or payment between Members or with outside parties.
• Selecting a supplier for an Opportunity records an intention to proceed. It is not a binding order, and GVN does not guarantee payment, quality, delivery or results.
• Check every business, person and offer yourself before you rely on it.

8. Guidance, Advisors and jobs

• Advisors are Members who volunteer their experience. Their guidance is general help, not professional legal, tax, financial or medical advice.
• GVN does not guarantee that a job posting will be filled or that an applicant will be hired.

9. What you post

You keep ownership of what you post. You allow GVN to store and show it to the people the portal's rules allow, only for running the portal. The GVN name, logo and portal design belong to GVN.

10. Suspension and removal

An authorised office bearer may suspend or remove a Membership, or restrict access, if you break these terms, your eligibility ends, or the law requires it. Where possible we will tell you the reason, and you may ask your District to review the decision. You may also withdraw an Application or stop using the portal at any time.

11. Availability and changes to the portal

We work to keep the portal available and secure, but it may sometimes be unavailable for maintenance or reasons outside our control. Features may change as the portal grows.

12. Limit of responsibility

The portal is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, GVN is not responsible for indirect losses, lost profits, or losses arising from dealings between Members. Where GVN is found responsible, its total liability to you is limited to the membership contribution you paid for the current membership year. Nothing in these terms limits a responsibility that cannot be limited by law.

13. Your personal data

How we collect, use, share and protect your personal data, and your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, are explained in our Privacy Policy at /privacy, which forms part of these terms.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version date at the top of this page will change, and we will tell Members about important changes in the portal or by email before they take effect. If you keep using the portal after that, the updated terms apply.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Please raise any concern with us first so we can try to resolve it. If it cannot be resolved, the courts at Mehsana, Gujarat will have jurisdiction.
