Terms of Use
Last updated: 9 August 2026
By using the BhumiBD website you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.
What this service is
BhumiBD is an information service. It presents data from public government services and open map sources in a more accessible form. It is not a government office, it accepts no official applications, and it issues no certificates or documents.
Limits of the information
- Khatian and dag data is drawn live from the government source and is index-level, preliminary information. Errors or gaps in the source appear here too.
- Long lists are truncated at the source; complete information requires a certified porcha.
- Measurements drawn on the map are estimates. They are not a substitute for a ground survey and are not legal evidence of a boundary.
- Guides and Q&A content is general educational information, not legal advice.
Acceptable use
- Do not scrape the service with automated scripts — it places unreasonable load on a public government service.
- Do not use the service to violate anyone’s privacy, harass anyone or commit fraud.
- Do not attempt to breach the site’s security or disrupt its normal operation.
- It is your responsibility to comply with the terms of the underlying data sources, such as the OpenStreetMap licence.
Map and satellite imagery terms
The maps and satellite imagery on this site are not ours — they are displayed from third-party services. Using them here means the providers’ own terms apply to you as well.
- Satellite imagery: Imagery © Google. Its use is governed by the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service (google.com/help/terms_maps) and the Google Privacy Policy.
- Roads, places and names: © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0 — see openstreetmap.org/copyright.
- Administrative boundaries: the geoBoundaries open dataset, under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 4.0.
- Map software: Leaflet, under the BSD-2-Clause licence.
- Do not bulk download, cache, republish or resell map tiles or imagery.
- Do not remove or obscure the attribution and provider logos shown on the map.
- Satellite imagery is not live. Each area was photographed at a different time and may be months or years old; recent construction, demolition or a shifted river course may not appear.
- Imagery can be slightly offset from true ground position, so an area traced on it is an estimate. It is not usable for fixing a boundary, for registration or in court — that requires a licensed amin or an official survey.
Intellectual property
The site’s original writing, design and software belong to BhumiBD. Map data, administrative boundaries and government records belong to their respective sources under their own licences.
Limitation of liability
The service is provided "as is". No warranty is given as to accuracy, availability or continuity. BhumiBD is not liable for decisions taken on the basis of information on this website or for any loss arising from them. Verify against official records before any significant land decision, and take legal advice where appropriate.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
