Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using GSTApply ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our"), you ("User", "Customer", "Merchant") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any provision of these terms, you must discontinue using the platform immediately.

2. Description of Service & "AS-IS" Provision

GSTApply is a web-based commercial billing, invoicing, and inventory recording utility provided on standard shared cloud hosting infrastructure. The service is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously accessible server operations.

3. Customer Backup Obligation

The platform provides built-in tools allowing customers to export transaction records, item catalogues, customer ledgers, and sales reports to spreadsheet format (.xlsx / .csv) at any time.

4. Subscription Expiration & 90-Day Auto Data Purge Policy

To optimize server resources and maintain system hygiene, the following retention rules strictly apply upon subscription or trial termination:

• Upon the expiry of any trial period or paid subscription, the customer account enters a grace period of ninety (90) calendar days. During this window, the customer may log in to export their transaction records or renew their active subscription.
• Automatic Purge: If an account remains in an expired, unpaid, or inactive status for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, GSTApply reserves the absolute right to permanently delete and purge all stored tenant records, invoices, item masters, and ledger entries from the database.
• Once purged, expired data cannot be retrieved, reconstructed, or restored. The platform, its developers, operators, and hosting providers shall bear zero legal, financial, or compensatory liability for data purged pursuant to this clause.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Indian law:

• In no event shall GSTApply, its operators, founders, partners, affiliates, or employees be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, business revenue, goodwill, commercial data, tax penalties, or statutory fines.
• The total aggregate liability of GSTApply for any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of the platform, whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, shall be strictly capped at and limited to the actual subscription fee paid by the customer to GSTApply in the thirty (30) days preceding the claim (or INR 500 in the case of free trial accounts).

6. Statutory & Tax Compliance Disclaimer

GSTApply provides calculation assistance based on standard CGST/SGST/IGST arithmetic formulas. The customer acknowledges that the ultimate legal responsibility for accurate tax calculation, invoice compliance, e-way bill generation, and timely filing of GSTR returns rests solely with the merchant and their appointed tax consultants or Chartered Accountants.
