Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Vatika platform, websites and related services (the "Service") provided by Addvertiz ("Vatika", "we", "us"). By accessing or using the Service, or by signing an order form that references these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an institution, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

• "Customer" means the institution that subscribes to the Service.
• "Authorised Users" means individuals the Customer permits to use the Service (such as staff, students and parents).
• "Customer Data" means data submitted to or generated within the Customer's tenant.
• "Tenant" means the Customer's isolated instance of the Service.

We grant the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service during the subscription term, subject to these Terms and any plan limits. The Customer is responsible for configuring its Tenant, managing Authorised Users and the roles and permissions it assigns, and keeping account credentials secure. The Customer is responsible for activity that occurs under its accounts.

We publish a shared demonstration sandbox. Opening it creates no account, no contract and no obligation on either side, and nothing in it is a Tenant: the people, classes, marks and fees it contains are invented and belong to nobody. We may change, reset or withdraw the demo at any time without notice, and we give no warranty of availability for it.

Because it is shared, anything you enter is visible to other visitors and is periodically erased. Do not put real personal data into the demo — yours or anyone else’s — and do not use it to store anything you need to keep. The demo cannot send messages of any kind, which is deliberate; do not attempt to circumvent that.

Everything under Acceptable use below applies to the demo as it does to the Service.

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone to:

• Use the Service in violation of applicable law or the rights of others;
• Upload unlawful, infringing, harmful or malicious content;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other tenants or related systems;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service;
• Use the Service — including the demo — to send unsolicited messages, or to probe, scan or load-test any part of it without our written permission;
• Reverse engineer or copy the Service except as permitted by law;
• Resell or provide the Service to third parties except as expressly agreed.

As between the parties, the Customer owns all Customer Data. The Customer grants us a limited licence to host, process and transmit Customer Data solely to provide and support the Service. We act as a processor for Customer Data and handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any data-processing terms agreed with the Customer. The Customer is responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of Customer Data and for obtaining any necessary consents.

Paid plans are billed in advance according to the applicable order form or plan selection. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable, exclude applicable taxes, and subscriptions renew for successive terms unless cancelled before renewal. We may change pricing on renewal with prior notice. Published prices are illustrative until confirmed in an order form.

The Service, including its software, design, and trademarks, is and remains the property of Vatika and its licensors. Except for the limited rights expressly granted, no rights are transferred. Feedback you provide may be used by us without restriction or obligation.

Each party may access confidential information of the other. The receiving party will protect such information with reasonable care and use it only to perform under these Terms, except where disclosure is required by law. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party.

We will provide the Service with reasonable skill and care and aim for high availability. Except as expressly stated, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues or data. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the fees paid by the Customer for the Service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

The Customer will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of Customer Data or the Customer's use of the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law. We will indemnify the Customer against third-party claims that the Service, as provided, infringes intellectual-property rights, subject to customary exclusions and procedures.

These Terms apply for the duration of your subscription. Either party may terminate for material breach not cured within a reasonable notice period. We may suspend access to address security risks, non-payment, or violations of the acceptable-use policy. On termination, the Customer's right to use the Service ends, and we will make Customer Data available for export for a limited period before deletion, subject to backup-rotation windows and legal requirements.

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. Material changes to these Terms will be posted here with a new "last updated" date and, where appropriate, communicated to Customers. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in India for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, subject to any mandatory rights you may have under local law.
