Who can use Sabha
- Sabha is for members of [Party name] aged 18 and over. When you register you confirm that you are 18 or older; admins refuse anyone younger.
- You sign in with your own mobile number. A party admin approves each new registration and may refuse one.
- Give true details when you register. Do not sign in as someone else or let others use your account.
How to behave
Treat other members with respect. You must not post, send or share anything that:
- belongs to someone else and you have no right to share, or breaks someone's copyright, trademark or other rights;
- is obscene or pornographic, invades someone's privacy (including their body), is insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, or is racially or ethnically objectionable;
- threatens, harasses or abuses anyone, is hate speech, encourages money laundering or gambling, or promotes violence between groups;
- is harmful to a child;
- deceives people about where it comes from, or is information you know to be false or misleading;
- pretends to be another person;
- threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with other countries, or public order, incites an offence, or insults another nation;
- contains a virus or other code meant to damage or interfere with any computer or service;
- breaks any law in force, or is spam.
You must also not share other members' phone numbers or private messages outside the app without their consent, record a call or Sabha without the consent of the people in it where the law requires consent, or try to break, overload or get around the security of the service.
Your content
You own what you post. You allow us to store and deliver it to the people you send it to, as needed to run the service. You are responsible for what you post.
Admins and moderation
Party admins can approve or refuse registrations, remove members from groups, mute speakers, end Sabhas, and block accounts that break these terms. Admin actions are recorded in an audit log.
You can report a message or a member from inside the app (long-press a message, or tap Report next to a member in a group's member list). Party admins review reports within 24 hours and may delete the content or block the account. You can also block a member yourself (Block next to their name in a group's member list, or when you report a message): you no longer see their messages in groups or Sabha chat, and they are not told. Profile > Blocked members lets you unblock them.
If you break these rules, admins may remove the content at once, and suspend or block your account.
Complaints and grievance officer
For a complaint about content in Sabha, about another member, about how your account was handled, or about your personal data, write to our grievance officer: [Grievance officer name], [Grievance officer email]. You can also report from inside the app (above).
- We acknowledge every complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days.
- A complaint asking us to remove content is acted on within 72 hours.
- Content that shows a person nude, in a sexual act, or with their image altered to look like that, is removed within 24 hours of a complaint by that person or someone on their behalf.
- If you are not satisfied with the grievance officer's decision, you may appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee set up under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, within 30 days.
Live Sabhas and calls
In a Sabha, only people the host allows can speak or show video. What you say on stage is heard by everyone listening, which can be thousands of people.
Ending your use
You can stop using Sabha at any time and delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account) or as described on Delete your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the law.
The service
We work to keep Sabha available and secure, but we provide it "as is" and cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect loss caused by using or being unable to use the service.
Changes
We may update these terms. We will change the date above and tell members in the app when the change matters. Using Sabha after a change means you accept the new terms; if you do not, you can delete your account.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Hyderabad have jurisdiction.
