9. Medical Disclaimer
RaagVeda Sense is a wellness and relaxation application. It is not a medical device, medical treatment, clinical tool, or substitute for professional healthcare.
Our Services — including all audio content, written descriptions, category names, and wellness associations — are designed for relaxation, meditation, and general wellness support only.
Nothing in our Services should be construed as:
- Diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any disease, disorder, or health condition
- Medical advice or clinical guidance of any kind
- A replacement or substitute for professional medical care, psychiatric care, or any licensed health service
- Clinically tested or medically approved therapy
- Endorsement of any specific health claim or clinical outcome
Do not delay seeking or disregard professional medical advice because of anything you read, hear, or experience through our Services. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical concerns, symptoms, diagnoses, or treatment decisions.
Category names in the App such as "Stress Relief," "Sleep Support," and "Calm & Grounding" describe the listening intention of the content. They are inspired by traditional raga associations and are not claims of medical efficacy. Individual experiences with raga listening vary.
10. Research References
Our About section and website may reference published academic research related to music, raga listening, relaxation, and wellness. These references are provided for educational and contextual purposes only. They do not constitute:
- Claims that RaagVeda Sense itself has been clinically studied, tested, or approved
- Endorsement by any research institution, journal, or government body
- Proof that listening to our specific recordings produces any specific health outcome
- Medical or clinical evidence applicable to any individual user's health condition
We distinguish carefully between: (1) the traditional cultural associations of ragas; (2) general academic research on music and wellness conducted by independent researchers; and (3) the RaagVeda Sense app experience, which is a wellness listening product and not a clinical intervention. These three things are not interchangeable.
11. No Warranties
OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property (4), Medical Disclaimer (9), No Warranties (11), Limitation of Liability (12), Indemnification (13), and Governing Law (16) — survive termination indefinitely.
Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any amounts paid to the App Store.
15. Third-Party Links & Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, research publications, external resources, or app stores. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. They do not constitute our endorsement of the linked site, its content, or the organisation behind it.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party website or service. You access third-party sites at your own risk and subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
Links to academic research do not constitute our endorsement of the research findings, methods, or conclusions as applicable to our specific Services.
16. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to our Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If you are a consumer located in the EU or UK, you may also have the benefit of mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under such laws.
Attorney Note: Confirm the appropriate governing law jurisdiction with your attorney before publishing, particularly if your business or users are concentrated in specific jurisdictions.

The arbitration shall be conducted in [state your preferred location or "remotely"].

You agree to resolve disputes with us individually. You waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or representative action against us.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including for intellectual property infringement. Small claims court actions are also excepted where eligible.
Attorney Note: Arbitration clauses require careful drafting to be enforceable in your target jurisdictions. Have your attorney review and complete this section before publishing.
