1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using digitalarresthelp.in ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Platform.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Digital Arrest Help India ("we", "us", "our"), a public-interest digital fraud prevention initiative based in Uttar Pradesh, India.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
2. Nature of the Platform
Digital Arrest Help India is a free, voluntary, public-interest platform designed to help Indian citizens identify and avoid digital arrest scams. We provide:
- A crowd-sourced scam phone number verification tool
- A phishing URL checking tool
- A scenario analysis tool for detecting scam patterns
- Emergency guidance and official helpline information
- Educational content about digital arrest fraud tactics
Important: We are not an official government portal, law enforcement agency, or regulated financial institution. We are an independent, non-commercial initiative. Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice, official law enforcement action, or a guarantee of accuracy.
3. Permitted Use
You may use this Platform for lawful purposes only. Permitted uses include:
4. Prohibited Use
The following uses are strictly prohibited and may result in legal action:
Misuse of our platform to submit false scam reports about legitimate numbers or businesses may constitute defamation or harassment under Indian law. We reserve the right to report such misuse to cybercrime.gov.in.
5. User Submissions
When you submit a phone number, URL, or scam report through our Platform:
- You confirm the submission is made in good faith based on your genuine experience or knowledge.
- You grant us a perpetual, royalty-free licence to store, display, and use the submitted data for the purpose of scam prevention.
- You acknowledge that submitted data becomes publicly accessible (other users can view whether a number/URL has been flagged).
- You accept sole responsibility for the accuracy of your submissions.
- You will not submit numbers or URLs of legitimate individuals or businesses with the intention of harming their reputation.
We reserve the right to remove any submission that we believe to be false, malicious, or in violation of these Terms, without prior notice.
6. Accuracy of Information
Our scam database is crowd-sourced. While we take reasonable steps to ensure quality, we cannot verify the accuracy of every user submission. Therefore:
- A number/URL not found in our database does not mean it is safe — it may simply not have been reported yet.
- A number/URL flagged in our database reflects user reports, not an official determination of fraudulent activity.
- Our scenario analysis tool uses pattern-matching against known scam phrases. It does not constitute expert legal or security advice.
- Always cross-verify with official sources such as cybercrime.gov.in or the 1930 helpline.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
- The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
- We do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always up to date.
- We shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of or reliance on the Platform, including financial losses suffered due to scams that our tools failed to detect.
- We shall not be liable for inaccuracies in crowd-sourced user submissions.
- Our maximum aggregate liability, if any, shall not exceed ₹1,000 (One Thousand Rupees).
If you are currently being scammed or have suffered financial loss, do not rely solely on our platform. Call 1930 immediately, contact your bank, and file a formal complaint at cybercrime.gov.in.
