Welcome to Nammude Keralam. These Terms of Use explain the rules for accessing and using nammudekeralam.com and all websites, pages, tools, forms, directories, services, and subdomains operated under the Nammude Keralam network, including but not limited to public-service directory pages, business directory pages, tourism pages, stay/accommodation pages, district subdomains, updates/news pages, listing claim pages, correction forms, enquiry forms, and any future Nammude Keralam subdomains.

In these Terms, “Nammude Keralam”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to the owner/operator of the Nammude Keralam website network. “You” and “user” refer to any visitor, business owner, listing owner, contributor, advertiser, customer, reader, or person using the website.

By accessing or using any part of the Nammude Keralam network, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. Nature of the Website

Nammude Keralam is an independent Keralam-focused information, directory, discovery, and local-help platform. The network may include:

Public-service location listings, such as government offices, police stations, village offices, hospitals, railway stations, banks, helplines, emergency-related offices, and similar public resources.
Business listings, local service listings, owner-claimed profiles, promoted listings, reviews, ratings, enquiry forms, and related directory services.
Keralam tourism content, destination guides, travel planning information, local help, safety notes, festival information, route guidance, and travel-related resources.
Stay/accommodation information, booking enquiry forms, travel support pages, and related directory or lead-generation tools.
District-focused subdomains and pages for local information, public representatives, local offices, helpline numbers, updates, and public resources.
Editorial updates, articles, guides, AI-assisted discovery features, search tools, forms, and future services connected to the Nammude Keralam network.

The website is provided for general information, discovery, directory, editorial, and convenience purposes only.

2. Independent Platform; Not a Government Website

Unless clearly and specifically stated on a particular page, Nammude Keralam is not an official government website, government department, public authority, emergency service, court, police department, hospital, tourism department, or official representative of any government office, public body, business, hotel, travel operator, institution, or third party listed on the website.

Public-service listings may include information collected from public sources, official websites, government portals, public records, field checks, user corrections, business submissions, or other available sources. However, listing a government office, public service, elected representative, business, hotel, attraction, or institution does not mean that Nammude Keralam is officially endorsed, authorised, sponsored, or controlled by that entity.

For official decisions, applications, complaints, payments, documentation, emergency response, legal matters, medical matters, travel permissions, public notices, government schemes, or official records, you must verify directly with the relevant official source, department, office, business, or authority.

3. Use of Information

We try to provide useful, clean, source-backed, and updated information. However, directory information can change at any time. Phone numbers, email addresses, office hours, routes, prices, services, staff details, elected representative details, emergency numbers, travel rules, ticket information, business details, stay availability, and official procedures may become outdated, incomplete, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable.

You agree that:

You will independently verify critical information before relying on it.
You will contact the listed office, business, hotel, institution, authority, or official source before travel, payment, booking, application, emergency use, documentation, or any important decision.
You will not treat Nammude Keralam as the final official source for government, emergency, medical, legal, financial, travel, accommodation, or business decisions.
You use the information at your own discretion and risk.

4. Public-Service Listings

Public-service listings are provided to help users quickly find location, contact, route, source, and basic service information. These listings may include information about public offices, police stations, village offices, hospitals, railway stations, transport offices, banks, helplines, public representatives, and other public resources.

We do not guarantee that:

A listed office is open at the time you visit.
A phone number, email address, map location, service description, official website, or working hour is current.
A particular officer, public representative, department, or service is available.
A listed service will accept your request, solve your issue, or provide a specific outcome.
The information is suitable for emergency use without direct verification.

For emergencies, contact the appropriate emergency service or official authority directly. Do not rely only on a website listing during an emergency.

5. Business Listings and Owner Claims

Nammude Keralam may allow businesses, professionals, organisations, hotels, service providers, property owners, agencies, and listing owners to submit, claim, update, promote, or manage listings.

If you submit or claim a listing, you confirm that:

You are authorised to act on behalf of the listed business, property, service, office, organisation, or entity.
The information you provide is accurate, lawful, not misleading, and kept updated.
You have the right to upload any images, logos, documents, descriptions, contact details, prices, offers, menus, service lists, or other content you submit.
You will not impersonate another person, business, institution, office, public authority, or organisation.
You will not submit fake reviews, false claims, misleading badges, fake verification statements, or deceptive promotional content.
You will comply with all applicable laws, licensing requirements, tax rules, consumer protection rules, advertising standards, and industry regulations.

We may approve, reject, edit, hide, suspend, remove, downgrade, or verify a listing at our discretion, especially if information appears inaccurate, misleading, illegal, duplicated, abusive, unverifiable, spammy, unsafe, or inconsistent with our platform standards.

A verified, checked, claimed, featured, premium, or promoted label does not guarantee quality, safety, legality, availability, licensing, pricing, service outcome, or user satisfaction. Users must make their own checks before contacting, booking, buying from, visiting, paying, or relying on any listed business or service provider.

6. Reviews, Ratings, Comments, and User Feedback

The website may allow users to submit reviews, ratings, comments, corrections, reports, suggestions, complaints, enquiries, or other feedback.

By submitting user content, you agree that:

Your submission must be honest, relevant, lawful, and based on your genuine experience or good-faith knowledge.
You will not post defamatory, abusive, obscene, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, fraudulent, promotional, spammy, fake, misleading, or illegal content.
You will not submit another person’s private information without permission.
You will not use reviews, ratings, or feedback tools to harass, blackmail, manipulate, threaten, or unfairly damage any person, business, office, or institution.
We may moderate, edit, reject, remove, or refuse to publish user submissions at our discretion.
We are not required to publish every submission or explain every moderation decision.

Reviews and ratings reflect user opinions or submitted information and do not necessarily represent the views of Nammude Keralam.

7. Corrections and Updates

Nammude Keralam may provide correction forms, report buttons, contact forms, claim tools, or other methods to request updates or corrections.

You may request correction, update, review, or removal of incorrect information. Where possible, please provide proof, official source links, documents, or clear details so that the correction can be reviewed.

We may verify correction requests before publishing changes. We may also refuse correction requests that are incomplete, abusive, unverifiable, misleading, irrelevant, unlawful, or submitted by someone without proper authority.

Submitting a correction request does not guarantee immediate update, removal, or approval.

8. Tourism, Travel, Routes, and Stay Information

Tourism, destination, travel, route, festival, weather-season, safety, stay, hotel, resort, homestay, booking, and itinerary content is provided for general planning and discovery only.

Travel conditions can change due to weather, road closures, local restrictions, seasonal access, safety alerts, forest rules, beach warnings, temple rules, ticket changes, strikes, public events, local regulations, or other factors.
