These Terms of Service govern your use of the Nepal Postal Codes website (the “Website”). The Website is an independent, Nepal-focused postal code information directory created and operated by Rokaiya as a hobby project.
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to use it responsibly and in line with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
Website information
The purpose of the Website is to make Nepal postal code information easier to find and understand. The Website may provide information related to provinces, districts, localities, postal codes, postal office classifications (where available), and related postal information.
1. Purpose of these Terms
These Terms are intended to explain, in clear language, what you can expect from the Website and what the Website expects from visitors. They help set fair rules for using a small independent informational site, including limitations that apply to postal and location information.
2. Acceptance of Terms and related policies
By using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to any related policies that apply to your use of the Website, including the Website’s:
- Privacy Policy
- Cookie Policy
- Disclaimer
These policies provide additional information about privacy, cookies, and the informational nature of the Website.
3. Use of the Website
You may use the Website for lawful, personal, educational, research, and general informational purposes.
You agree not to misuse the Website. For example, you should not:
- Break applicable laws while using the Website
- Attempt to damage, disable, disrupt, or interfere with the Website’s normal operation
- Introduce malware, harmful code, or other malicious content
- Attempt unauthorized access to the Website or its systems
- Abuse forms or submission features (including repeated spam submissions)
- Scrape, crawl, or send automated traffic in a way that harms performance or creates excessive load
- Use the Website for fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful activities
The Website is a hobby project, so reasonable limits may be used to protect site stability and prevent abuse.
4. Postal code and location information
The Website provides postal code and related location information for general informational and reference purposes. Information on the Website may include:
- Province
- District
- Locality
- Postal code
- Postal office classification (where available)
- Related location information
The Website aims to be helpful, but it cannot guarantee that all information will always be accurate, complete, current, error-free, or suitable for every particular purpose. Postal information may change over time, and information may differ between sources or between systems used by different organizations.
5. No official government affiliation
Nepal Postal Codes is an independent website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by the Government of Nepal or any government ministry, department, agency, or authority.
The Website is not an official government postal directory, and nothing on the Website should be understood as government-approved or government-issued information.
6. Informational purpose only
Content on the Website is intended for general informational purposes. Visitors may use it as a reference when, for example:
- Filling out online forms
- Entering addresses
- Shopping online
- Using courier services
- Completing registrations
- Using websites that request a postal code or ZIP code
However, when accurate information is important for an official, legal, financial, government, delivery, or other important purpose, you should verify the information with the relevant official authority or service provider. The Website does not replace official sources.
7. Six-digit ZIP code workaround
Some international websites require a ZIP code field in a specific format and may reject a valid five-digit Nepal postal code because their system expects exactly six digits.
The Website may provide information about a possible workaround in those situations. If a third-party website requires exactly six digits and refuses a valid five-digit Nepal postal code, some users may try adding a leading zero:0[5-DIGIT POSTAL CODE]
To avoid confusion, the following points are important:
- The five-digit number is the actual Nepal postal code referenced by the Website.
- Adding a leading zero is not presented as an official change to Nepal’s postal-code system.
- The six-digit version is only a possible workaround for a specific website that requires six digits.
- It is not a new official Nepal postal code.
- It may not work on every website.
- You should follow the instructions of the specific website, merchant, courier, or service provider you are using.
8. Third-party websites and services
The Website may include links to third-party websites or references to third-party services. Nepal Postal Codes does not control third-party websites, including their:
- Content
- Privacy practices
- Terms
- Security
- Availability
- Address-validation systems
- Postal-code requirements
A link to an external website does not necessarily mean that Nepal Postal Codes endorses or guarantees that website, service, product, or information. If you use a third-party website or service, you should review their terms and privacy policies.
9. Online shopping and external services
Different online stores, payment services, courier companies, registration systems, and international websites may use different address formats and postal-code requirements.
Nepal Postal Codes cannot guarantee that a postal code published on the Website will be accepted by every third-party service. If a third-party website rejects a postal code or address format, you should contact that website or service provider for assistance. The Website cannot resolve third-party checkout issues or address-validation problems.
