Terms written to be read, not survived.

Who we are

lakush.in (the "Platform") is owned and operated by Lakush Realty Advisory ("Lakush", "we", "us", "our"), with its place of business in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

Accepting these terms

By visiting the Platform, browsing listings, submitting an enquiry, booking a clarity call, using the compare tool, or messaging us on WhatsApp, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this agreement.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please stop using the Platform. Continued use after we publish an update means you accept the updated terms.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company, HUF, trust, or other entity, you confirm you are authorised to bind that entity.

What Lakush actually does

Lakush is an information and advisory platform for home buyers. Specifically, we:

• Aggregate and publish information about residential projects, developers, and micro-markets in and around Bengaluru.
• Offer comparison, filtering, and research tools so you can evaluate shortlisted projects side by side.
• Provide buyer-side advisory - clarity calls, site visit coordination, and an honest read on whether a project fits what you're looking for.
• Introduce you to a developer or their authorised sales channel if you decide to proceed.

Equally important - what we are not:

• We are not a builder, developer, promoter, landowner, or joint development partner in any project listed here.
• We are not a party to the sale agreement, allotment letter, construction agreement, or sale deed between you and a developer.
• We do not collect booking amounts, tokens, or any part of the consideration for a property. Never transfer money to Lakush for a property purchase.
• We are not a bank, NBFC, lender, or loan intermediary, and we do not underwrite or approve home loans.

We charge buyers nothing

Using Lakush is free for buyers. There is no service fee, consultation fee, subscription, listing access charge, or success fee payable by you to us at any stage.

We are compensated by the developer or their authorised channel in the form of a brokerage or referral fee, payable only if a transaction is concluded through an introduction made by us. This is standard practice in Indian real estate and it does not increase the price you pay for the property.

You should assume that a commercial relationship exists between Lakush and the developer of any project we introduce you to. We disclose this openly rather than pretending to be neutral in a way we're not - our commitment is that this arrangement will never cause us to misrepresent a project, hide a known problem, or push you toward a purchase you shouldn't make.

Listings & project information

Project information on the Platform - pricing, unit configurations, carpet and super built-up areas, floor plans, master plans, amenity lists, possession timelines, inventory availability, images, renders, walkthroughs, and location details - is compiled from developer brochures, developer-supplied material, RERA filings, public records, and our own site visits.

We make a reasonable effort to keep it accurate and current, but we do not warrant that any of it is complete, error-free, or up to date at the moment you view it. Prices change. Inventory sells. Launch dates move. Plans get revised.

Specifically, please note:

• Images and renders are indicative. Artist impressions, 3D renders, staged photographs, and sample flat images are illustrative and may differ materially from the delivered product.
• Prices are indicative and exclusive. Displayed prices typically exclude GST, stamp duty, registration charges, maintenance deposits, club charges, parking, floor rise, PLC, and other statutory or developer levies unless expressly stated.
• Availability is not a hold. An availability status shown on the Platform is not a reservation, an allotment, or an offer, and does not oblige any developer to sell you that unit.
• Distances and travel times are approximate and drawn from third-party mapping services.
• Growth figures, rate trends, and micro-market data are analytical estimates based on available data. They are not appraisals or forecasts, and past appreciation does not indicate future returns.

RERA & regulatory disclaimer

Projects displayed on the Platform may be registered, pending registration, or exempt under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 and the Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules. Where a RERA registration number is displayed, it has been supplied by the developer or sourced from the relevant authority's records.

The presence of a project on Lakush is not a certification of its legality, approvals, or regulatory compliance. Please verify every project's registration status and filings directly on the Karnataka RERA portal at rera.karnataka.gov.in before proceeding.

Nothing on this Platform constitutes an offer or invitation to purchase, an advertisement of an unregistered project, or a solicitation in any jurisdiction where such solicitation would be unlawful.

Advisory is not professional advice

Our clarity calls, comparisons, notes, ratings, and recommendations are opinions formed in good faith from the information available to us. They are general in nature and do not account for your full financial position, tax situation, or personal circumstances.

Nothing we say or publish is legal advice, title verification, structural or engineering assessment, tax advice, valuation, or investment advice under any securities or investment regulation. You should engage a qualified advocate for title and documentation, a chartered accountant for tax, and a licensed valuer or engineer where relevant.

Any decision to purchase, not purchase, wait, or walk away is yours alone, made on your own assessment and at your own risk.

Your submissions & conduct

When you submit an enquiry, book a call, or otherwise share information with us, you agree that:

• The information you provide is true, accurate, and belongs to you - including your name, phone number, and email address.
• You will not submit another person's contact details without their consent.
• You will not use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in a manner that violates any Indian law.

You must not:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest, mirror, or systematically extract listings, images, data, or content from the Platform by any automated means.
• Reproduce or republish our project data, research, comparisons, or copy on any competing platform or listing service.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, its database, its admin systems, or any connected infrastructure.
• Introduce malware, attempt injection or overload attacks, or otherwise interfere with the operation or security of the Platform.
• Impersonate Lakush, our team, or any developer, or misrepresent your affiliation with any of them.
• Submit spam, bulk enquiries, or fraudulent lead data.

We may suspend or block access, remove submissions, and preserve or disclose records to law enforcement where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

Consent to be contacted

When you submit an enquiry, book a clarity call, or message us on WhatsApp, you expressly authorise Lakush and its authorised representatives to contact you by phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, and email in connection with that enquiry and related property recommendations.

This consent applies even if your number is registered under the DND / NCPR list maintained under TRAI's Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, and it overrides that registration to the extent permitted by law. Such communication will not be treated as unsolicited commercial communication.

We may also share your enquiry details with the developer or authorised channel partner of the project you enquired about, so they can respond to you directly.

Compare, alerts & other tools

The comparison tool, filters, micro-market views, and similar features are provided for convenience. Comparisons are generated from the data we hold at that moment and may present incomplete or non-equivalent parameters across projects - for example, carpet area may be reported differently by different developers.

We may add, modify, restrict, or withdraw any feature at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that saved comparisons, shortlists, or preferences will be retained indefinitely.

Intellectual property

The Platform's design, layout, source code, written copy, research, editorial content, data compilations, comparison logic, illustrations, and the Lakush name and marks are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected under the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

You may view, download, and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use in evaluating a property purchase. Any other use - reproduction, redistribution, adaptation, commercial exploitation, or use in a competing service - requires our prior written permission.

Developer names, project names, logos, brochures, floor plans, and renders remain the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification and informational purposes. If you own such material and believe it has been used improperly, write to hello@lakush.in with details and we will review it promptly.

Third-party links & services

The Platform may link to or embed third-party content - developer websites, RERA portals, maps, videos, payment or CRM interfaces, and analytics services. We do not control these and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices.

A link is not an endorsement. Your dealings with any third party, including any developer you are introduced to, are solely between you and that party.

Availability of the Platform

We aim to keep the Platform available and functional, but we provide it on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We may suspend access for maintenance, upgrades, or reasons beyond our control, and we are not liable for downtime, data loss, transmission errors, or any consequence of them.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, Lakush, its founders, directors, employees, and representatives will not be liable for:

• Any loss arising from your reliance on project information, pricing, availability, timelines, or analysis published on the Platform.
• Any act, omission, delay, default, misrepresentation, construction defect, possession delay, or cancellation by a developer, contractor, or any other third party.
• Any dispute between you and a developer, including regarding booking amounts, refunds, agreements, area calculations, or possession.
• Indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential losses, including loss of profit, opportunity, or anticipated savings.
• Unauthorised access to your data caused by factors outside our reasonable control.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Platform or our services shall not exceed INR 10,000 or the total amount actually received by us from you (which is ordinarily nil), whichever is higher.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lakush and its representatives against any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any false or unauthorised information you submit through the Platform.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, the law, or our practices. The revised version takes effect when published on this page, and the "Updated" date above will change.

For material changes we will make a reasonable effort to highlight them. Please re-read this page periodically - your continued use after publication constitutes acceptance.

Governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Before escalating, we'd genuinely prefer to resolve things directly. Write to us first - most issues get sorted in a phone call.

Grievance redressal

In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made thereunder, the contact details of our Grievance Officer are below. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and aim to resolve them within 15 days.
