Terms of use

These terms apply to your use of Chhanv, an initiative of Under The Tree (Pedon Ki Chhanv Mein Foundation, “Chhanv”, “we”). By requesting a referral or applying as a professional, you agree to them.

1. What Chhanv does

Chhanv is a referral and introduction service. When you tell us what you need, we may introduce you to a professional from our network or wider community. Chhanv facilitates introductions and does not itself provide legal, tax, medical, financial, technical, or creative services.

2. No guarantee of a referral or outcome

Referrals depend on availability and suitability. We may be unable to make an introduction, and we may decline any request. Chhanv does not guarantee a particular outcome, price, or professional result, and does not guarantee any professional’s qualifications, conduct or work.

3. Your relationship with the professional

Any engagement is directly between you and the professional. You agree the scope, timeline, fees and billing with them, and you pay them directly. Please assess their suitability independently, and enter into your own agreement with them. Chhanv is not a party to that agreement and is not responsible for the professional’s advice, services, acts or omissions.

4. Fees, commissions and donations

Chhanv does not charge for referrals, does not take a commission, and does not collect payments on a professional’s behalf. Professionals and others may make voluntary, unrestricted contributions to Under The Tree. Contributions are never a condition of a referral, are never linked to a particular client, referral, fee or outcome, and do not affect who is referred. There is no paid placement or priority listing.

5. Medical referrals

Chhanv may introduce you to a medical specialist known to its network. Chhanv does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and does not recommend medicines or care plans. Please discuss your medical history, concerns and treatment directly with the doctor. Chhanv cannot help in emergencies — call 112 or go to the nearest hospital.

6. Legal, tax and compliance referrals

Chhanv does not provide legal or tax advice, interpret laws, prepare or file documents, or promise any legal or regulatory outcome. Do not send us privileged or confidential documents.

7. Scope

Chhanv currently focuses on legal, CA/CS, digital, creative, communication, education, and specialist medical referrals. We are unable to assist with this category at present.

8. Your responsibilities

• Give accurate information and use Chhanv only for genuine needs.
• If your request concerns a child, make it as the child’s parent or guardian, and stay involved in any engagement.
• Treat professionals and Chhanv staff with courtesy.
• Do not use Chhanv for anything unlawful, harmful or abusive.

9. Professionals

Professionals who join confirm that their information is accurate, that they hold the registrations their work requires, and that they will follow the rules of their profession. Joining is free. Professionals may decline any introduction. We may pause or remove a professional from the network at our discretion, including after a concern is raised.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Chhanv and Under The Tree are not liable for any loss arising from a professional’s services, from your dealings with a professional, or from your use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Privacy

Our privacy policy explains how we handle your information.

12. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and courts at Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh have jurisdiction.
