1. Scope & Nature of Digital Services

Bandhana operates a specialized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and digital event website builder. Our platform empowers users to customize luxury 3D and responsive event websites, secure unique subdomains (e.g. couple.cortinex-webstudio.com or celebration.lovingsites.com), host digital invitation media, collect guest RSVPs, and stream multimedia content.

All purchases on Bandhana are for immediate automated digital hosting and infrastructure allocation. Upon successful payment, cloud server storage, DNS record provisioning, SSL certificates, and edge CDN deployments are instantaneously provisioned for your designated domain.

2. Account Registration, Security & Legal Capacity

To create an account and publish a website, you must provide a valid email address, full name, and password, verified through a mandatory one-time verification code (OTP). You represent that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Bandhana immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach.

Your Representations & Warranties: You warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary licenses, copyrights, and permissions for any images, musical compositions, audio recordings, or videos uploaded to the platform.
