6. Intellectual Property Rights
Aharam AI owns all rights, title, and interest in the platform, including its design, layout, features, software, and trademarks. Users and restaurants retain ownership of their own content but grant Aharam AI the right to display and distribute it within the Services.
You may not:
• Copy or redistribute Aharam AI's branding or content without permission
• Attempt to decompile, reverse-engineer, or exploit our platform
• Use our trademarks or logos without prior written approval
7. Third-Party Services & Links
7.1 External Platform Links
Aharam AI may include links to external platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, or others. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control these platforms and are not responsible for their services, accuracy of content, or policies.
When you access third-party links, you are subject to their terms and conditions, not ours.
7.2 Location Services
To help you discover nearby restaurants, Aharam AI uses multiple location services:
• **Google Maps Geocoding API**: Converts addresses into precise GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) so we can show you accurate restaurant locations and calculate distances.
• **IP Geolocation (ip-api.com)**: When you don't share your GPS location, we use your internet connection's IP address to estimate your approximate city/region location. This is a free service that helps provide location-based results without requiring device permissions.
• **Browser Geolocation**: With your permission, we can access your device's GPS to provide the most accurate nearby restaurant recommendations.
These services work together to ensure you always find restaurants near you, whether you're using GPS, Wi-Fi location, or just your general area. Your location data is used only for showing nearby restaurants and is never sold to third parties.
7.3 Push Notification Services
Aharam AI uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) by Google to send you real-time notifications about:
• **Restaurant Offers**: Special deals and promotions from restaurants you follow or are nearby
• **Chat Messages**: Direct messages from restaurants responding to your inquiries
• **Review Responses**: When restaurants reply to your reviews
• **Important Updates**: Platform announcements or account-related information
**How It Works:**
When you allow notifications in your browser or app, Firebase creates a secure token (like a unique ID) for your device. This token is stored in our database and used to send you personalized notifications. You can disable notifications anytime through your device settings or app preferences.
**Why Firebase?**
Firebase is Google's trusted notification service used by millions of apps worldwide. It's reliable, secure, and ensures you receive timely updates without draining your battery. We chose Firebase because it works across all devices and browsers seamlessly.
Firebase processes notification delivery on our behalf but does not access your personal messages or data. Only the notification title, message, and basic routing information is shared with Firebase for delivery purposes.
8. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
Aharam AI is a discovery platform only. We do not prepare, sell, or deliver food. All food and services are provided by independent restaurants.
Accordingly:
• We do not guarantee the quality, safety, or taste of food provided by restaurants
• We are not responsible for incorrect menus, pricing errors, or misleading information posted by restaurants
• We are not liable for damages, losses, or health issues resulting from dining at listed restaurants or using third-party links
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Aharam AI disclaims all warranties and limits its liability to the maximum extent allowed.
