Terms of Use
By creating an account or using DantaVeda you agree to these terms. They are written in plain language on purpose; where they say “we” they mean DantaVeda, and “you” means the person using the service.
1. What DantaVeda is — and is not
DantaVeda is an educational platform built on the book The Conscious Clinician. It teaches dental ethics, professional conduct, ergonomics and self-care. It is not clinical advice, not legal advice, and not a substitute for your own professional judgement, your institution's training, or the official notifications of the National Dental Commission and your State Dental Council. Regulatory content reflects our reading of the law as of the date shown; the NDC framework is new and still being notified, so always verify against official sources before acting.
2. The Ergonomics Coach is wellness guidance, not treatment
Posture scores, impact explanations, yoga, breathing and exercise suggestions are general wellness guidance for healthy adults. They are not a medical diagnosis or a treatment plan. If you have pain, an injury, a spinal or musculoskeletal condition, are pregnant, or have any condition that affects exercise, consult a qualified physician or physiotherapist before following any routine. Stop immediately if an exercise causes pain. You use the coach at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety and environment.
3. Accounts and eligibility
- You must be 18 or older and give accurate information.
- Student accounts are for enrolled dental students, interns and postgraduates.
- Dentist accounts require a valid State Dental Council registration number. We verify manually; giving a false registration number is grounds for immediate termination and may be reported to the relevant council.
- College accounts are for authorised representatives of a dental institution and are governed by a separate institutional agreement.
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for activity on your account.
4. Content, licence and copyright
The book, the Interactive 3D Edition, figures, self-tests, templates, the Ergonomics Coach and all text and design are the copyright of Prof. Dr. M V S Sudhir and DantaVeda. When you buy access you receive a personal, non-transferable licence to use that content for your own learning. You may not copy, record, screenshot-and-share, redistribute, resell, scrape, or use the content to train AI systems or build competing material. Printable templates may be printed for your own clinical use. Institutional use requires an institutional licence.
5. Purchases and access
Prices are shown in Indian Rupees and include applicable GST where stated. Access to the Interactive Edition is for the period shown at purchase (lifetime access to the edition purchased, unless stated otherwise). Payments are processed by Razorpay; we do not store card details. Refunds are governed by our Refunds & Cancellation policy.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: place a patient or any other person in the camera frame when using the coach; use the platform to harass, defame or impersonate anyone; attempt to access other users' data or interfere with the service; or use the content in a way that breaches the ethics and conduct standards it teaches.
7. Vaak Vaidya and third-party services
Voice guidance is powered by Vaak Vaidya, an independent company. Payments (Razorpay), hosting (Vercel), database (Supabase) and AI features (Anthropic) are provided by third parties under their own terms. We choose providers carefully but are not responsible for outages or acts of these providers beyond our control.
8. Availability and changes
We work to keep DantaVeda available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may update content, features and these terms; material changes are notified by email to registered users. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
9. Termination
You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, with a refund only where our refund policy provides for one.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Indian law, DantaVeda and Prof. Dr. M V S Sudhir are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of the platform, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, after a good-faith attempt to resolve the matter by writing to drsudhir.omfs@dantaveda.com.
