Ghar Terms of Use (EULA)
Welcome to Ghar. These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding End User License Agreement ("EULA") between you and Ghar ("we," "our," or "us") governing your use of the Ghar mobile application (the "Licensed Application" or "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Terms for your platform
Ghar is operated by Colorblast LLC. Read the Android terms or the iPhone subscription summary. General terms below apply to both platforms. Apple-specific rights, obligations, account processes and purchase terms apply only to the iPhone app. For Android, the following platform terms govern the license, available features, account and billing topics covered by Sections 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Ghar for Android
Use, local data and available features
Subject to these Terms and applicable Google Play terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Ghar on compatible Android devices you own or control. The app and its content are licensed, not sold.
The first Android release can be used without creating a Ghar sign-in account. It includes practice guides, reading, local household preferences, saved items and practice history. Android and iPhone have separate local progress and subscription access; this release does not provide iCloud or cross-platform synchronization.
Calendar observances are shown only where a matching published reference covers the selected city and year. Unsupported places or dates do not imply an authoritative local observance calendar. Consult your tradition and local temple when deciding how to observe an event. Optional reminders depend on Android permissions and scheduling and may be delayed.
Ghar supports spiritual practice and relaxation. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent medical conditions. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Android Premium subscriptions
Where available, Ghar offers Premium Monthly and Premium Annual through Google Play. The app and Google Play purchase screen show the available plan, local price, billing period, renewal terms and any eligible offer before you confirm. No free trial or introductory offer is promised unless Google Play explicitly presents it. The iPhone prices and Apple renewal terms below do not establish an Android offer.
- Google Play handles payment through the Google account used for the purchase. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew until canceled under the terms shown by Google Play.
- Manage or cancel through Google Play subscriptions using the purchasing account. Google's cancellation instructions explain how cancellation affects the remaining paid period.
- Deleting Ghar data or uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. A valid purchase may be restored using the purchasing Google Play account, subject to purchase verification.
- Android Premium does not unlock the iPhone app. This release does not offer a separate cross-account family plan, household cloud sync or partner-code access.
- Refund eligibility depends on the purchase and applicable law. See Google Play's refund policies or contact hello@getghar.com for purchase support.
Premium access is checked against Google Play purchase status. Your local data can be exported or deleted through My Home > Settings & privacy; see the Android privacy disclosure and deletion instructions.

2. License Grant
The App is licensed, not sold, to you. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (the "Usage Rules"). 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.
3. Description of Service
Ghar is a Hindu home practice application that provides:
- Step-by-step walkthrough guides for daily rituals, festivals, and life events.
- A smart panchang (Hindu calendar) with location-aware calculations.
- A practice library organized by category, tradition, and difficulty level.
- Educational articles about Hindu traditions, symbols, deities, and philosophy.
- Household profile management with family mode features.
- Text transliterations and pronunciation guidance for selected mantras and shlokas.
Ghar is a practice guide, not a replacement for personal spiritual guidance. Content is prepared and edited under Ghar's editorial policy. Specialist review is required where appropriate, and a specific review or source is claimed only when it is recorded.
4. Eligibility
- You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account.
- If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
- The household profile feature allows parents to include children's information; this is managed entirely by the parent or guardian.
5. Account Registration
- You may create one account per Apple ID.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
- You agree to provide accurate household information for the purpose of personalizing your experience.
- Through My Home > Settings > Account & Privacy > Data Controls > Delete Ghar Data, a signed-in user may reauthorize with Apple, submit Sign in with Apple token revocation, save an opaque Apple-status receipt, and then delete local Ghar data and any legacy encrypted Ghar iCloud snapshot. Ghar 1.1.7 sends no new AppsFlyer data and does not submit an automatic AppsFlyer deletion request. Data AppsFlyer may have processed from Ghar 1.1.6 or earlier requires a separate verified manual provider request.
