What Sach is

Sach is a free, open-source tool that checks viral messages against official sources (mainly PIB and government websites) and returns a verdict with citations. It is run by an individual developer in India as a public-interest project. It is not a government service and does not speak for any official body.

Using Sach

Sach gives information, not legal, medical or financial advice. A verdict of UNVERIFIED means Sach could not find an official source either way. It is not a claim that the message is false.
Verdicts can be wrong or out of date. Check the cited sources before you act or forward anything.
Don't use Sach to harass people, to flood it with automated requests, or to break the law. We may rate-limit or block abusive use.
The software is open source under the MIT licence (see the source code link). The service itself is provided "as is", without warranties, and may change or stop at any time.

Tips

Tips are optional, voluntary gifts that help cover running costs. They don't buy anything and never affect a verdict. See the Refund policy for mistaken or duplicate payments.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for loss arising from using or relying on Sach. Nothing here limits rights you have under Indian consumer law that cannot be waived. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
