1.1 Gosnami´s website and mobile application is an online platform where Clients state their requests and interest in the provision of a particular service, and where professionals providing various services register to access the presented requests.

1.2 Each request must represent a real need of the Client. Gosnami may, at its sole discretion, exclude all requests and/or content published on the platform that do not comply with the terms and conditions or content that may harm the Gosnami brand or the image of professionals and clients using the services.

1.3 The requests submitted by Clients are disclosed to registered Professionals whose activity is compatible with them, so they can, if they wish, present proposals and budgets directly to Clients for the requested services.

1.4 It is the Client's responsibility to evaluate the budget proposals and services presented by Professionals, and the selection of the Professional is entirely and exclusively the responsibility of the Client.

1.5 Gosnami’s role is limited to collecting Client’s requests and registrations of service provider Professionals, disclosing the requests to them to enable the Client's selection process. Whenever Gosnami presents or refers a Professional to a Client, it is solely and ultimately the Client's decision to accept the budget proposal and services presented, including those received through Gosnami. There is no employment or subordination relationship between the Professional and Gosnami.

1.6 The Client may choose not to select any of the Professionals who contact them to present their respective budgets, recognizing that Gosnami is a third party in the contractual relationship established between the Client and the Professional.

Reviews and Comments reflect the opinions of users (Clients and Professionals, respectively) and not the opinion of Gosnami. Reviews and Comments are not verified or filtered by Gosnami, and it is not responsible for ensuring their accuracy; they may be incorrect or misleading.

1.10 Reviews and Comments made by Clients and Professionals must be fair, true, and factual, and cannot contain defamatory or offensive language.

1.11 Users (Clients and Professionals) are prohibited from manipulating the Review and Comment system, such as giving instructions to a third party to write a positive or negative Comment about another Member.

1.12 Clients and Professionals undertake to include on the website only true and correct information and, whenever necessary for the service to be provided, documentary evidence for the exercise of their respective activities.

1.13 Gosnami is not responsible for the information mentioned above, and the Client must, before selecting the Professional, assess and verify its truthfulness, correctness, and integrity.

1.14 The presentation by the Professional to the Client of fraudulent proposals or false or incorrect documents can never be attributed to Gosnami, and the Client is responsible for selecting Professionals and confirming the information provided by them.
