By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

By accessing or using the Ghar App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.

2. License Grant

The App is licensed, not sold, to you.

This license does not allow you to use the App on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.
