Terms of Use and Software Licence

These terms are an agreement between you (the person or business using Jurisbooks) and Jurisbooks (“we”, “us”). They cover this website and the Jurisbooks software — Jurisbooks Offline and Jurisbooks Online — whether you use the free trial or a paid (prepaid) licence.

By clicking “I agree”, or by downloading, installing, signing in to or using Jurisbooks, you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Jurisbooks.

1. Who may use Jurisbooks

You must be at least 18 and use Jurisbooks for lawful business purposes. If you accept these terms for a business, you confirm that you are allowed to do so on its behalf.

2. Your licence

We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use Jurisbooks for your own business, within the edition, number of companies, computers or people, and period stated in your licence (or in the free trial). Jurisbooks is licensed to you, not sold. We keep all rights in the software, its design and its name.

3. What you must not do

• copy, resell, rent, lend or share Jurisbooks, or share your licence key or login with people outside your business;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or modify Jurisbooks, or remove, bypass or tamper with licence checks or trial limits, or try to unlock features you have not licensed;
• use Jurisbooks for anything unlawful, or to harm, overload or break into the Online service or other people's data;
• remove our copyright, brand or licence notices.

4. Free trial

The Trial Edition of Jurisbooks Offline gives you the Basic features for 7 days from the first time you open it; after that a licence key is needed. The Online version starts with a free 7-day trial when you first sign in. Trials are provided free of charge, “as is”, and we may change, limit or withdraw them at any time.

5. Paid (prepaid) licences

A paid licence is bought in advance for the edition and period stated when you buy. Licence keys are issued for your business name and your computer. Fees are paid in advance and, once a licence key has been issued, are not refundable except where the law requires it (see our Refund & Cancellation Policy). Prices and plans may change for future purchases.

6. Your data and your responsibility

Your business data belongs to you; we do not claim ownership of it. Because it is your data, you are responsible for it:

• Jurisbooks Offline keeps your data on your own computer (and in any backup folder you choose). You are responsible for keeping your own regular backups on a separate drive or service, for protecting your computer, and for your passwords, PINs, recovery codes and licence keys.
• Jurisbooks Online keeps your books in the cloud (in Google's data centre in Mumbai) with a working copy on your computers. You are responsible for the people you add, the permissions you give them, and for keeping your own copy of important records.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of what you (and the people you add) enter, and for having the right to enter your customers' and suppliers' details.

7. Accounting, tax and legal outputs

Jurisbooks is a tool. Invoices, ledgers, GST summaries, reports and other outputs are only as correct as the data and settings you enter, and tax rules change. They are not tax, accounting or legal advice and are not a GST return or other filing. You are responsible for checking them (for example with your accountant) and for meeting your own legal and tax obligations.

8. Our care

We take full care in building Jurisbooks and, for Jurisbooks Online, in protecting the data we hold, using reasonable security practices. Jurisbooks Offline does not send your business data to us.

9. No warranty

Jurisbooks is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or that it will suit your particular needs. To the fullest extent the law allows, all warranties and conditions, express or implied, are excluded.

10. Data loss, leaks and events outside our control

No software or internet service can be made perfectly safe. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for the loss, damage, corruption, deletion or disclosure of data, or for downtime, caused by, for example:

• computer, disk or hardware failure, power cuts, or internet or network problems;
• viruses, malware, or theft or loss of a device;
• anyone else getting access to your computer, login, PIN, password, recovery code or licence key;
• mistakes or actions by you or by people you add, including deleting data, or choosing “also delete data” when uninstalling;
• updates to Windows or other software, or third-party services we rely on (such as Google / Firebase, hosting, internet or SMS providers);
• attacks by third parties despite our reasonable care, or any other event beyond our reasonable control.

11. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, the cost of recreating data, tax penalties or interest, or claims made against you by your own customers or suppliers, arising from your use of, or inability to use, Jurisbooks;
• our total liability to you for all claims together is limited to the amount you actually paid us for your licence in the 12 months before the claim arose; and if you use only the free trial, we are not liable to you.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Indian law, including liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.

12. Claims against us by others

You will compensate us for losses, claims and costs arising from a third party's claim that results from your breach of these terms, your unlawful use of Jurisbooks, or the data you enter into it.

13. Privacy

How we handle personal information is explained in our Privacy Notice.

14. Ending

You may stop using Jurisbooks at any time. We may suspend or end your licence or access if you break these terms, misuse Jurisbooks, or do not pay; a trial ends by itself when its period ends. When your licence or access ends you must stop using Jurisbooks. If you use Jurisbooks Online, export your data before your access ends, because we may delete the data held in the cloud afterwards.

15. Changes

We may change Jurisbooks, its plans and these terms. The current terms are always on this page with the date they were last updated. Where the terms change in an important way we will ask you to agree again; if you keep using Jurisbooks after a change, you accept the new terms.

16. Third-party software

Jurisbooks includes open-source and third-party components (for example Electron and Chromium), and Jurisbooks Online uses Google Firebase. These are provided under their own licences and terms.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. If there is a problem, please contact us first so we can try to sort it out. If we cannot, the courts in India at the place of our principal office have exclusive jurisdiction.

18. General

These terms (with the Privacy Notice) are the whole agreement between you and us about Jurisbooks. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest continues. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your licence without our written consent; we may transfer ours to a successor of our business.
