2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
2.1 Eligibility
To register as a Hotel Partner you represent and warrant that:
(a) you are a lawfully constituted person competent to contract under Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872; (b) the Property is lawfully entitled to offer accommodation to the public and holds every registration, licence, permission and no-objection certificate required under applicable municipal, police, fire safety, tourism, excise and food safety law; (c) the individual accepting these Terms is duly authorised to bind the Hotel Partner; (d) all information furnished is true, accurate, current and complete; (e) neither the Hotel Partner nor any of its promoters is subject to any subsisting order of a court, tribunal or authority prohibiting it from carrying on the business of accommodation.
2.2 Verification
The Company may verify the Hotel Partner's identity, licences and premises, including by physical inspection, documentary verification and third-party database checks. The Company may decline or revoke registration where verification fails, without assigning reasons and without liability.
2.3 Account security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all credentials. You shall: (a) assign a distinct login to each authorised individual and never permit shared or generic credentials; (b) enable multi-factor authentication for every administrative user; (c) revoke access on the same day an individual ceases to be authorised; (d) notify info@atithibhaarat.com within twenty-four (24) hours of any suspected compromise.
All activity under your account is deemed to be your activity, save for activity occurring after you have notified the Company of a compromise.
2.4 Multiple properties
A Hotel Partner operating more than one Property must register each Property separately. Commercial terms, including the Free Trial Period, apply per Property unless a written group arrangement states otherwise.
3. LICENCE AND PERMITTED USE
3.1 Licence grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform solely for the internal business purpose of operating your Property during the term of this Agreement.
3.2 Restrictions
You shall not, and shall not permit any person to:
(a) copy, modify, translate, adapt, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any part of the Platform; (b) create derivative works, or attempt to derive source code, algorithms or data models; (c) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, franchise or otherwise commercially exploit access to the Platform; (d) use the Platform to build or assist in building a competing product or service; (e) access the Platform through any automated means, scraper, crawler or bot not expressly authorised in writing; (f) circumvent, disable or interfere with any security, rate-limiting or authentication feature; (g) introduce any virus, worm, trojan, ransomware or other malicious code; (h) conduct any penetration test, vulnerability scan or load test without prior written authorisation; (i) use the Platform for any unlawful purpose, or in a manner that infringes the rights of any person; (j) remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notice, watermark or branding.
4. THE SERVICES
4.1 Identity verification and ABIN
The Platform verifies Traveller identity exclusively through Government-authorised sources, including DigiLocker. The Company does not, and will not, issue an ABIN on the basis of manual or human review of a photocopied or self-declared document. Verification either succeeds against a Government source or it does not.
4.2 Digital check-in
The Platform supports three methods of check-in, applied in the following fallback order: (i) biometric facial verification; (ii) a dynamic QR code that expires at short intervals; and (iii) ABIN entry with one-time password confirmation. Availability of each method depends on the Traveller's device, the Property's equipment and network connectivity.
4.3 Guest register assistance
The Platform compiles guest particulars into the format required by the applicable State police rules and, for foreign nationals, into the prescribed Form C format under the Registration of Foreigners Rules, 1992.
4.3.1 CRITICAL — the statutory obligation remains yours. The obligation to maintain a guest register and to report guest particulars to the police or immigration authorities is imposed by law upon the keeper of the accommodation establishment, that is, upon the Hotel Partner. The Platform is a compliance aid. The Company does not assume, discharge or indemnify the Hotel Partner's statutory duty, and the Hotel Partner shall remain solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of every statutory submission.
4.3.2 Where direct electronic filing with a department is not yet enabled, the Platform generates a compliant register for the Hotel Partner to file through the department's own channel. Any statement on the Platform describing direct filing as forthcoming is a statement of intent and not a present representation of capability.
4.4 Accommodation bookings and online travel agencies
The Company does not own, operate, control, contract for or hold any inventory of accommodation. Where the Platform displays tariffs or links relating to accommodation, it does so as a directory and redirection service only. Any booking made after redirection is a contract between the Traveller and the relevant online travel agency or the Hotel Partner, and:
(a) the Company is not a party to that contract; (b) the Company gives no warranty as to rate accuracy, availability, or the terms of any third-party platform; (c) all cancellation, modification, no-show and refund matters relating to accommodation are governed by that third party's terms; (d) the Company bears no liability for the acts, omissions or insolvency of any online travel agency.
4.5 Modification of the Services
The Company may add, modify, suspend or discontinue any feature. Where a change materially and adversely reduces core functionality, the Company shall give not less than 30 days' prior notice, and you may terminate without penalty within that notice period.
5. HOTEL PARTNER OBLIGATIONS
You shall:
5.1 furnish accurate Property information and update it within seven (7) days of any change to licences, ownership, management, address, room count, banking details or authorised signatories;
5.2 train every staff member using the Platform, and maintain a record of such training;
5.3 display the signage, QR standees, consent notices and informational material supplied in the Basic Kit at the reception desk in a clearly visible position, and not deface, obscure or alter them;
5.4 obtain and record Traveller consent through the Platform's own consent flow, and never fabricate, pre-tick, bypass or record consent on a Traveller's behalf;
5.5 never coerce, pressurise, mislead or induce a Traveller into enrolling for an ABIN, and always offer a conventional check-in alternative;
5.6 never photograph, screenshot, transcribe, print, export or otherwise create a parallel record of Traveller identity data displayed on the Platform;
5.7 never share, sell, transfer or disclose Traveller data to travel agents, tour operators, marketing agencies, group companies, affiliates or any other person;
5.8 access Traveller records only in respect of Guests actually staying, or seeking to stay, at your Property, and only for the duration reasonably connected with that stay;
5.9 comply at all times with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology Act, 2000, applicable State police and hotel registration rules, the Foreigners Act, 1946 and Rules thereunder, the Goods and Services Tax laws, and all other applicable law;
5.10 maintain the devices used to access the Platform in a secure, updated and locked condition, in accordance with the Cache & Data Retention Policy;
5.11 cooperate fully and promptly with any lawful request, audit or investigation by a police, tourism, tax or data protection authority, and inform the Company where such request concerns the Platform;
5.12 not make any representation about the Platform, the Company or the ABIN that is inaccurate, exaggerated or not authorised in writing by the Company;

The Company may, at its discretion, publish incentive programmes under which a Hotel Partner may earn further periods of free service on achieving stated performance milestones.

6.9 Variation and withdrawal of the offer

Any such modification or withdrawal shall not affect a Hotel Partner whose Free Trial Period has already commenced, whose entitlement shall run in full on the terms accepted at activation.
