Unless expressly stated otherwise, IWOCAL is not a government authority and does not replace official government records, emergency services, healthcare professionals, legal professionals or regulated service providers.

3. Information accuracy and verification

Information may come from official datasets, approved organisations, local contributors, users or third-party sources. Verification or source indicators may be shown where available.

Listings, worker or provider profiles and service-related information may be submitted or maintained by third parties or approved users.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, IWOCAL does not guarantee a provider’s licensing, availability, quality, suitability, pricing, conduct or outcome. Users should perform appropriate checks before engaging a provider.

6. No emergency, medical or legal service

IWOCAL is not an emergency-response service. In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency authority or service directly.

Healthcare, government-scheme, legal or other regulated information is provided for informational or routing purposes unless expressly stated otherwise and should not replace professional advice.

7. User submissions and licence

9. Intellectual property

IWOCAL branding, original software, design and proprietary content are owned by or licensed to IWOCAL, subject to third-party and open-source rights.

Government, public-domain or third-party data remains subject to its applicable ownership, attribution and use conditions.

10. Third-party services and links

IWOCAL may modify, suspend or discontinue features for maintenance, security, operational, regulatory or product reasons.

Continuous, uninterrupted or error-free availability is not guaranteed.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, IWOCAL will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss resulting solely from reliance on unverified public or community information, third-party conduct or interruptions outside IWOCAL’s reasonable control.

No provision of these Terms limits liability where applicable law does not permit limitation or exclusion.

15. Suspension and termination

IWOCAL may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary to address fraud, abuse, security risk, unlawful activity, repeated violations or legal requirements.

These Terms are governed by applicable laws of India, subject to mandatory rights and jurisdiction rules that may apply.

Competent courts, statutory authorities and regulators will have jurisdiction as determined by applicable law.

17. Changes to these Terms
