Welcome to Namakkal Services (“Platform”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible via namakkalservices.com and related mobile web applications. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding electronic agreement between you (“User”, “Customer”, “Service Partner”, “Technician”) and Namakkal Services in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and applicable rules.
By visiting, registering, adding a business listing, requesting a service quote, or subscribing to any partner plan, you explicitly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must discontinue using the Platform immediately.
Definitions & Interpretation
- “Customer / User”: Any individual searching for, contacting, or requesting quotes from local service providers.
- “Service Partner / Technician / Merchant”: Independent local professionals, tradespeople, contractors, or business proprietors listed in the directory.
- “Listing”: The dedicated profile page of a business containing shop photos, service catalogs, address, GPS location pin, phone numbers, and ratings.
- “Subscription Plan”: Paid digital advertising tiers (Silver Verified, Gold VIP, Diamond Annual VIP) granting enhanced search ranking, badges, and automated WhatsApp lead alerts.
- “Lead Credits”: Digital platform tokens purchased to unlock customer contact details on specific service inquiries.
Platform Nature & Intermediary Role
முக்கியமான பொறுப்புத் துறப்பு (Intermediary Notice):
நாமக்கல் சர்வீசஸ் என்பது வாடிக்கையாளர்களையும் உள்ளூர் தொழில் வல்லுநர்களையும் இணைக்கும் ஒரு டிஜிட்டல் தகவல் தளம் (Search & Discovery Directory) மட்டுமே. நாங்கள் எந்த ஒரு டெக்னீஷியனின் நேரடி உரிமையாளரோ முதலாளியோ அல்ல.
Namakkal Services functions strictly as an electronic search and lead routing intermediary under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. We do not employ, supervise, or subcontract any technician or service provider.
When a customer hires a technician discovered on the Platform, the contract for work performance, timeline, warranty, spare parts, and final price negotiation is strictly between the customer and the technician. Namakkal Services assumes no liability for quality, delays, damages, or disputes arising from individual service jobs.
Customer Rights, Quote Requests & Safety
Free for Customers: Searching the directory, submitting quote requests, and browsing listings is 100% free of charge for consumers.
Indicative Pricing: Starting prices shown on business listings represent base estimates provided by merchants. Final work charges should be mutually agreed upon in writing or verbally with the technician before work commences.
Safety & Verification: While Namakkal Services verifies phone OTPs, business claims, and GST details for Verified partners, customers are strongly advised to verify technician identity, address, and quotations before granting access to premises or executing work.
Technician Partner Code of Conduct
All service providers registered on the Platform agree to adhere to the following professional standards:
- Provide accurate, authentic business names, trade skills, real workshop photos, and true locations within Namakkal district.
- Maintain valid government registrations, trade licenses, and technical qualifications as required by law.
- Communicate politely, quote transparent rates without hidden extortion, and fulfill customer appointments punctually.
- Any fraudulent behavior, misrepresentation, harassment, or criminal misconduct will result in immediate permanent listing termination, revocation of VIP badges, and reporting to law enforcement authorities.
Subscription Plans, Strict 30-Day Period & Auto-Expiry
30 நாட்கள் காலக்கெடு & ஆட்டோ எக்ஸ்பயரி விதி:
சந்தா தொடங்கிய தேதியிலிருந்து சரியான 30 நாட்கள் மட்டுமே செயலில் இருக்கும். 30 நாட்கள் முடிவடைந்தவுடன், நீங்கள் புதுப்பிக்காவிட்டால் (Renewal), VIP சலுகைகள் (#1 Rank, Golden Crown, வாட்ஸ்அப் லீட் அலர்ட்டுகள்) தானாகவே முடக்கப்பட்டு Free Starter-க்கு மாற்றப்படும்.
Strict Period: Monthly subscription tiers (Silver Verified ₹199 and Gold VIP ₹349) run for exactly 30 calendar days from the moment of activation. Annual VIP tiers run for 365 days.
Automated Expiry & Feature Revocation: The Platform features a zero-cron real-time self-healing audit engine. When a subscription reaches its expiration date (end_date < CURDATE()), the listing is automatically reverted to Free Starter status (plan_id = 1), its featured flag is removed (is_featured = 0), and all VIP perks (Top #1 rank, Crown badge, instant WhatsApp lead alerts) are paused immediately until renewal.
Renewal Alerts: Technicians receive automated advance reminders 3 days before expiry and an instant WhatsApp alert upon expiration containing a 1-click renewal link.
Prorated (Pro-Rata) Upgrades & Strict Upgrade-Only Rule
Pro-Rata கணித விளக்கம்:
உதாரணமாக 199 திட்டத்தில் 19 நாட்கள் முடிந்து 11 நாட்கள் மீதம் இருக்கும் போது 349 Gold VIP-க்கு மாறினால், மீதமுள்ள 11 நாட்களுக்கான வித்தியாசக் கட்டணம் (11 × ₹5 = ₹55) மட்டுமே வசூலிக்கப்படும்.
Remaining-Days Proration: When a technician upgrades to a higher monthly tier mid-cycle, the Platform calculates the daily rate difference between the two tiers:
Daily Diff = (New Plan Price - Current Plan Price) / 30.
The technician only pays for the exact number of remaining days in their current 30-day billing cycle. The higher VIP tier privileges activate immediately, and the original expiration date remains preserved.
Strict Upgrade-Only Rule (No Downgrades): While an active paid subscription is in progress, technicians cannot downgrade to lower tiers (e.g. an active Gold VIP ₹349 merchant cannot downgrade to Silver ₹199 or Free). Lower tier buttons are locked in the dashboard. Downgrading is only possible by allowing the current 30-day period to expire without renewal.
100% Strict No-Refund & No-Cancellation Policy
ONCE PAID, THAT'S IT (ரீஃபண்ட் கிடையாது):
எந்த ஒரு சந்தா திட்டத்திற்கோ (₹199, ₹349, ₹1,999, அல்லது Pro-Rata Upgrade) அல்லது Lead Credits-க்கோ பணம் செலுத்திய பின் எந்தச் சூழலிலும் பணம் திரும்ப வழங்கப்படாது (Strictly Non-Refundable).
By completing a transaction via UPI QR, GPay, PhonePe, Netbanking, or Debit/Credit card, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- Instant Provisioning: All VIP search placement, verified badges, catalog hosting, and real-time WhatsApp lead alert systems are activated and consumed immediately upon payment approval.
- No Prorated Refunds on Cancellation: If a merchant closes their business, pauses operations, or deletes their listing prior to the end of their 30-day (or 365-day) period, no partial, prorated, or full refund will be provided.
- Non-Transferable: Subscription plans, lead credits, and invoice receipts belong strictly to the registered business entity and cannot be transferred to another merchant or phone number.
- Chargebacks & Disputes: Initiating fraudulent bank chargebacks for services delivered in accordance with these Terms will result in permanent listing blacklist and legal recovery under applicable civil laws.
WhatsApp Lead Alerts & Communication Consent
By providing your mobile number and registering an account or listing on Namakkal Services, you grant express consent to receive transactional and operational communications via WhatsApp, SMS, and Voice Calls from Namakkal Services.
These communications include, but are not limited to: OTP verification codes, customer quote notifications, instant VIP WhatsApp lead alerts, payment receipts, and 30-day subscription renewal reminders.
