Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 3 November 2026

These terms apply to everyone who reads or uses India Legacy (indialegacy.in), a website about Indian history and culture run from India by Gaurav Thapa (“I”, “me”). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

1. Using the content

The articles and the photos I have taken are my work and are protected by Indian copyright law and international copyright agreements.

You’re welcome to:

share links to any article
quote short passages with credit to India Legacy and a link to the article
use the articles for your own study, homework, teaching or research, with credit

Please don’t:

copy or republish whole articles, or large parts of them, on another website, app or social media page
use the content commercially without my written permission
present the content as your own work
scrape or bulk-download the site with automated tools

For any other use, email contact.indialegacy@gmail.com.

Some images on the site belong to other photographers and are used under licence or Creative Commons with credit. Those images remain the property of their owners.

2. Comments

Comments are welcome. By posting one, you confirm that:

it is your own words and doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights
it isn’t abusive, hateful, defamatory, sexually explicit or unlawful
it isn’t spam or advertising and doesn’t include promotional links

Comments are moderated. I may approve, edit for length or clarity, or delete any comment. By posting, you give India Legacy permission to display your comment on the site.

3. Accuracy

I research every article carefully and correct mistakes when I find them or readers point them out. Still, the content is for general education, and I can’t promise that every detail is complete, current or error-free. Please check important facts, such as exam material, travel timings or ticket prices, against official sources. See the Disclaimer for more.

4. Links to other websites

Articles link to other websites, such as the ASI, UNESCO and museums, for reference. I don’t control those sites and am not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

5. Advertising

The site shows ads served by Google AdSense. I don’t choose the individual ads and don’t endorse the products or services advertised. Any purchase or dealing with an advertiser is between you and that advertiser.

6. Acceptable use

You must not use the site to break the law, try to access parts of the site or server you are not authorised to, spread malware, or harass other readers. I may block access for anyone who does.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, India Legacy and its owner are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, your reliance on its content, or temporary unavailability of the site. You use the site at your own risk.

8. Privacy

How the site handles personal data and cookies is explained in the Privacy Policy.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any dispute will be handled by the courts of India.

10. Changes and severability

I may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest version. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.
