Terms of Service

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] · [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] · [REGISTERED ADDRESS]

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of ContoDesk, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. By signing in or using the service after your account is provisioned, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility and accounts

ContoDesk is a business tool for kirana and retail shopkeepers in India. Accounts are admin-provisioned — you cannot self-register without an administrator creating your shop and credentials.

You must be at least 18 years old and authorised to act on behalf of the shop. You are responsible for keeping login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.

3. Acceptable use

You may use ContoDesk only for lawful shop operations: inventory, billing, customer records, and related business tasks permitted by the product.

You must provide accurate shop and account information and keep business records you enter as accurate as you reasonably can.

4. Prohibited use

You must not:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or underlying models except as allowed by law.
  • Use ContoDesk for unlawful billing, tax evasion, fraud, or misrepresentation.
  • Access or attempt to access another shop's data or bypass security controls.
  • Upload malware, scrape the service, or interfere with its operation.
  • Resell or sublicense the service without written permission from [LEGAL ENTITY NAME].

5. Tax, GST, and billing accuracy

You alone are responsible for your tax filings, GST compliance, and the accuracy of bills, HSN codes, rates, and totals you issue to your customers. ContoDesk provides tools and reference information for convenience; it does not file taxes on your behalf. See our Disclaimer.

6. Service availability

ContoDesk is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted uptime, error-free operation, or that the service will meet every business requirement. Maintenance, outages, and third-party dependencies may affect availability.

7. Subscription and fees

[SUBSCRIPTION/PRICING TERMS]

Fees, billing cycles, taxes on fees, and payment methods will be as described in your shop agreement or admin communication. Failure to pay applicable fees may result in suspension.

8. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, non-payment, legal requirement, or to protect the platform or other users. You may request account closure through [SUPPORT EMAIL] or your administrator.

Upon termination, your right to use ContoDesk ends. Provisions that by nature should survive (liability limits, indemnity, governing law) will survive.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] and its directors, employees, and suppliers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or business opportunity arising from use of ContoDesk.

Our total aggregate liability for claims relating to the service shall not exceed the fees paid by you to [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] for ContoDesk in the [LIABILITY CAP PERIOD — TO BE CONFIRMED BY OWNER] preceding the claim, or [MINIMUM LIABILITY CAP — TO BE CONFIRMED BY OWNER], whichever is greater, unless a higher limit is required by law.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of ContoDesk, your business records, your tax or billing practices, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.

11. Intellectual property

ContoDesk, its software, branding, and documentation are owned by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] or its licensors. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the service for your shop while your account is active. You retain ownership of business data you enter.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in [JURISDICTION CITY], India shall have exclusive jurisdiction subject to applicable consumer protection or other mandatory forums.

13. Changes to terms

We may modify these Terms. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
