Terms of Service

Membership is open to individuals who support the objectives of Vanniyar Sangam. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during registration and to keep it updated.

Membership IDs are issued at our discretion and remain the property of Vanniyar Sangam. Misuse of a membership ID or card may result in suspension.

We offer Free membership and optional paid memberships from ₹300 to ₹20,000 per month — you choose your plan and the corresponding honour tier and benefits. Paid memberships are membership service fees (not donations) and grant access to member benefits such as the digital ID card, directory access, premium badges and priority event access. They are billed monthly through Razorpay and renew automatically until cancelled. Existing lifetime members retain their standing permanently.

All fees are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

You may cancel auto-renewal at any time from your member dashboard; your membership then remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. Membership fees are generally non-refundable once a billing cycle begins, except for duplicate payments, charges where benefits were not activated, or unauthorised transactions.

Full details are set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy at /refund.

You agree not to use the platform for any unlawful purpose, not to misrepresent your identity, and not to use your membership to harass, defraud or harm others. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate memberships that violate these terms.

Your digital ID card is issued for identification within community programs. It does not constitute a government-issued identity document. The QR verification page confirms only membership authenticity.

Services are provided on an 'as is' basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vanniyar Sangam shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from the use of the platform.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
