Terms of Service

CARAT is based in Hyderabad and helps individuals and families find and acquire agricultural land, initially focusing on parcels of 10 acres and above in selected locations across Telangana.

Depending on the agreed scope, our assistance may include understanding requirements, sourcing opportunities, shortlisting, arranging site visits, preliminary assessment, and coordinating with sellers and professional advisers.

We also welcome enquiries from landowners considering selling agricultural land.

Availability of opportunities and services varies by location, requirements, and circumstances.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally competent to enter into an agreement to engage our services.

If you act for a company, family member, co-owner, or another person, you must have appropriate authority.

An enquiry or introduction through CARAT does not establish that a person is legally eligible to purchase a particular property. Eligibility, permissions, and transaction requirements must be checked with an appropriately qualified adviser.

Website content provides general information about CARAT and its approach. It is not a binding offer to sell land, reserve a property, or provide a specific service.

Photographs, maps, illustrations, and other visuals may be representative unless expressly identified as relating to a particular property. They should not be treated as evidence of ownership, boundaries, availability, access, or development potential.

We aim to keep information accurate, but details may change. Confirm material information before relying on it.

Our preliminary assessment may bring together available records, information supplied by others, and site observations. Its scope and limitations will depend on the engagement.

Preliminary screening does not establish clear title or replace independent legal advice, a physical survey, valuation, or technical assessment.

Before committing to a purchase, buyers should obtain appropriate professional review of ownership, encumbrances, boundaries, access rights, possession, land classification, permitted use, applicable restrictions, and other material matters.

CARAT does not guarantee legal title, regulatory approval, uninterrupted water supply, agricultural productivity, future development permission, resale value, or investment returns.

Nothing in this section reduces CARAT's responsibility to perform its agreed services with reasonable care.

You are responsible for ensuring that information and documents you provide are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are entitled to share them.

Landowners and their representatives should disclose known disputes, claims, encumbrances, access issues, tenancy or possession concerns, and other matters material to a potential transaction.

You must not impersonate another person, misrepresent ownership or authority, conceal material facts, or provide forged documents.

We may request clarification or supporting information and may decline to progress an enquiry where material concerns remain unresolved.

The scope of work, fees, applicable taxes, payment milestones, reimbursable expenses, and any cancellation or refund provisions will be set out in a separate written agreement before paid services begin.

Contacting CARAT does not itself create a fee obligation, exclusivity arrangement, or authority for CARAT to bind you to a transaction.

Unless expressly authorised in writing, CARAT cannot sign agreements, accept offers, receive property purchase money, or make commitments on your behalf.

Payments should be made only against verified written instructions identifying the recipient and purpose.

A land transaction is entered into between the relevant buyer and seller under their transaction documents.

Lawyers, surveyors, valuers, and other independent professionals are responsible for the services they are engaged to provide. Their appointment, scope, fees, and responsibilities should be confirmed separately.

An introduction by CARAT is not a guarantee of a third party's performance. CARAT remains responsible for its own agreed work.

Farm management, security and remote monitoring, fencing, irrigation coordination, plantation development, and related services described as “coming soon” are planned offerings.

Registering interest does not create a service commitment, confirmed launch date, or guarantee of availability. Any future engagement will be subject to confirmed scope, location coverage, pricing, and a separate agreement.

Site visits are subject to permission, access, weather, and other practical conditions.

Visitors must follow reasonable instructions, respect property boundaries, and avoid damaging land, crops, equipment, or infrastructure. Agricultural land may contain uneven ground, water bodies, animals, and other site hazards.

A site visit does not reserve a property or create a right to purchase it. Nothing here excludes any duty of care imposed by law.

You must not misuse the website, introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, or use information obtained through CARAT for fraud, harassment, or unlawful activity.

CARAT's branding, original content, and website materials belong to CARAT or their respective rights holders. You may view and share links to public pages for lawful purposes. Other use is subject to applicable law and any permission required from the rights holder.

Ordinary indexing and linking by search engines and AI search services is permitted subject to published crawler rules. This does not authorise access to private documents or restricted information.

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Property documents and non-public information shared for evaluating a transaction should be used only for that purpose and shared only with authorised participants or advisers, unless disclosure is legally required.

We do not promise uninterrupted website availability or warrant information supplied by third parties without qualification.

To the extent permitted by law, CARAT is not responsible for losses arising solely from independent third-party acts or decisions outside CARAT's agreed scope and reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Your statutory and consumer rights remain unaffected.

Any additional service-specific allocation of responsibility must be stated in the relevant written agreement.

We may update website content and these Terms prospectively. The current version will show its effective date.

Changes to these Terms do not automatically amend an existing signed engagement. Changes to an engagement must follow that agreement's terms.

We may restrict website access where reasonably necessary to address misuse or protect security, subject to applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India.

Please contact hello@caratfarms.in first so we can try to resolve a concern. This does not prevent you from seeking urgent relief or exercising statutory remedies.

Subject to mandatory law, disputes may be brought before competent courts in Hyderabad, Telangana. Nothing in these Terms restricts access to a consumer forum, regulator, or other authority with legally applicable jurisdiction.
