We may personalize Services and feature them as part of Bookings, including showing you recommendations on Service in the subscribed category, and other related categories that might be of interest to you.

The Service is of a personal nature and is solely for the benefit of the person and is not allowed to be resold by you or transferred to or shared with any other person for consideration or otherwise. In the event we get to know that any User has resold / transferred / shared Booking with another person, then Utsavlife retains the right to cancel/terminate the Booking forthwith.
Due to the limitations, if any, imposed on us by our Service providers (who own the Service Provider), the Service Provider we make available to you under any Booking offering are subject to restrictions on viewing access and on the length of time we make them available to you.

Depending on the Booking Service you have Booked, you may be given access to certain additional Services and features. The additional terms applicable to each of these additional Services may be made available to you on the Platform in the form of terms and conditions or FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for that specific Service or may be otherwise communicated to you. Hence, please be sure to go through the Platform Terms to understand the additional services, if any made available to you, and how you can avail the same.

The offender in such cases of voyeurism can be punished with three to seven years of imprisonment and a fine. While this section of the IPC can only be used by girls and women, the Information Technology Act, 2000 is gender neutral.
ii. Section 66E, IT Act, 2000: Intentionally or knowingly capturing, publishing or transmitting the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent, under circumstances violating the privacy of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years or with fine not exceeding Rupees two lakh or with both.
