Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the KanoonGPT website, mobile apps, and related services (the “Services”).

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to all of the following:

The three policies apply together. If you do not agree to them, do not create an account, do not sign in, and do not use the Services. On a question of cancellation, billing, or a refund, the Cancellation and Refund Policy controls.

2. Your Account

2.1 Registration. Some features need an account. Give accurate contact details, including a valid email and mobile number. We may send a one-time password or a similar check to confirm that the details are yours.

2.2 Security. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your login details private. Do not share your password or one-time password. If you believe someone else has signed in, contact us so we can help secure the account.

2.3 Sessions. To protect accounts and the platform, we may limit how many devices or sessions can be active at once. If the pattern of use suggests sharing or other misuse, we may ask you to sign in again, pause access while we review, or take another reasonable step. We will deal with a genuine case in good faith.

3. Plans, Billing, and Access

3.1 Plans. KanoonGPT Pro is offered as a monthly UPI mandate at ₹999, charged from the first month and renewed each month until you cancel; a one-time plan at ₹7,499 for 1 year; or a one-time plan at ₹14,999 for 3 years. The price and payment method shown at checkout are the ones that apply to that purchase. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, prices are inclusive of all applicable taxes.

3.2 Monthly mandate. If you choose the monthly plan, later months are charged automatically until you cancel. You can cancel from your account settings. Cancellation stops future charges. You keep Pro for the period you have already paid for. The steps are in the Cancellation and Refund Policy.

3.3 Fees and refunds. Fees are not refundable except where Indian law requires a refund, or where the Cancellation and Refund Policy says otherwise, including any goodwill refund described there.

3.4 A licence, not a sale. A free or paid plan gives you a personal right to use the Services for lawful research and learning. That right cannot be transferred. You do not own our software, data, or content.

4. Changes

We may change plans, prices, or features as the product improves. Where a change is material, we will give reasonable notice when we can, for example by email or in the product. A price change on a monthly plan applies from the next billing cycle after that notice. Continued use after the change takes effect is acceptance of the updated policies.

5. Acceptable Use

The Services are for genuine legal research and learning. Please do not:

Scrape, bulk-download, or systematically extract content, except as section 8 allows.
Reverse engineer the Services, or try to bypass a security or access control.
Use a system, API, or set of data you are not allowed to use.
Run unauthorised bots or automation that harms performance or avoids a usage limit. Ordinary use of a browser, and use of features we provide, is allowed.
Use the Services for an unlawful, harassing, or fraudulent purpose.

5.1 Immediate suspension. We may limit or suspend access at once, without prior notice, where we reasonably believe the account is involved in a security threat, fraud, an attack on the Services, scraping, other unlawful activity, or payment fraud. We will tell you when we can do so without increasing that risk.

5.2 Other breaches. For any other breach, we will write to you where it is reasonable, and we will give you a chance to correct it where a correction is appropriate. If the breach continues, or it is repeated, we may suspend or end the account.

6. Availability

We work to keep the Services available. We do not promise that they will be available at every moment. We may maintain or update them. Where we can, we will limit the disruption and give notice of planned work.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our rights. The Services, including the software, name, design, and the content we prepare, belong to us or to our licensors. They are protected by applicable intellectual property law.

7.2 Your use. You may use the Services for your own lawful professional or personal research. Do not copy, resell, or redistribute the platform or our content in bulk as a competing product, unless we have agreed to that in writing.

8. Scraping and Data Licences

8.1 No scraping. You may not scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically extract the website, the apps, the APIs, or the content we prepare. That includes simplified Acts, summaries, tables of contents, embeddings, audio, chat history used as a corpus, and any annotated text shown inside the product. A script, a browser extension, or a headless browser is treated the same as a scraper. Copying under section 8.2 is not scraping. It is not a right to collect the library.

8.2 Copying. Where your plan includes copying, you may copy content we prepare only for your own use, and only for case filing or research. You may not republish that content as it stands, or in any other form, unless you have substantially reworked it. Substantial rework means the result is your own work, not a reproduction or a light edit of ours. A filing, a note, or research you keep for your own matter may contain the copy. A website, a book, a dataset, a feed, or another product may not, unless that rework has been done.

8.3 What a plan allows. A free or Pro plan is a personal licence to use the Services for your own lawful research and learning. It is not a licence to train a model, build a dataset, power another product, or resell our content. Republication is allowed only to the extent section 8.2 permits after substantial rework.

8.4 Enterprise data licence. Bulk delivery, a data feed, commercial training, redistribution, or use of our prepared content inside another product requires a separate written enterprise licence. The scope, volume, term, and fee are those stated in that licence and nowhere else. To ask for one, use the contact form. A plan purchase, a screenshot, or a scrape is not that licence.

8.5 Published open datasets. A dataset we publish under a stated open licence, including the Apache-2.0 sets listed on our Open Initiative page, may be used under that licence. That permission stops at the files we actually published. It does not cover the website, the apps, Pro annotations, simplified text, embeddings, audio, or any other material that is not in those files. Collecting product content in order to rebuild or extend a published dataset is scraping, and section 8.1 applies. If you scrape or take content outside the licence you hold, we may block your access and seek the remedies available under these Terms and Indian law.

9. AI-Assisted Research

KanoonGPT uses AI to help you research Indian law. An answer can be incomplete or wrong. The Services are a research aid. They are not legal advice, and they are not a substitute for your own professional judgment or for advice from an advocate on your matter. Check anything important against the primary source. If you see an error, tell us so we can correct it.

10. Liability

10.1 Indirect loss. To the extent Indian law allows, neither you nor KanoonGPT is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss arising out of these Terms or the Services, including lost profits, lost business, or lost data.

10.2 Cap. Our total aggregate liability arising out of these Terms or the Services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to the fees you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. If you paid no fee in those twelve months, the cap is the fee paid for your current plan. If you are on a free plan and have paid nothing, our liability is limited to what Indian law still requires us to bear.

10.3 Outside the cap. Section 10.1 and section 10.2 do not limit liability for fraud or wilful misconduct, for death or personal injury caused by negligence where the law does not allow that limit, or for any other liability that Indian law, including a non-waivable consumer right, does not allow us to limit or exclude.

10.4 Intellectual property, confidentiality, and personal data. Claims relating to third-party intellectual property, confidentiality, or personal data remain subject to the exclusions and the cap in this section 10, except to the extent applicable law does not permit those limits.

11. Conduct toward Our Team

11.1 People, not the AI. Deal with our people professionally, and follow the law and these Terms. This applies to the contact form and to any other message to a human representative of KanoonGPT, including a WhatsApp message or a phone call where we have offered that channel under section 13. It does not apply to KanoonGPT Chat or to our other AI features. You may be direct, blunt, or insistent with the AI in order to finish a task. The same abusive language or threats, directed at a person on our team, are not allowed. This does not permit an unlawful request to the AI. Section 5 still applies.

11.2 Abuse and threats. We do not accept insults, slurs, harassment, or a threat of harm to a person, their reputation, their property, or their work. A disagreement about access, a bill, or a refund is not a reason for any of that. If a payment is missing from your view, check the bank statement and the payment details before you write. A refund already sent can take time to appear. Abuse does not speed it up, and it does not create a further refund.

11.3 What follows. If you abuse or threaten our people, we may permanently suspend or terminate your access to all of our apps, websites, and related services, and we may refuse any later account. We may decline further support, or take any lawful action reasonably necessary to protect our personnel, users, systems, or legal rights. A threat, and abuse that is an offence under Indian law, may be retained and reported to the police or pursued in court. A suspension or termination is not, by itself, a right to a refund. Refunds follow the Cancellation and Refund Policy and applicable law.

12. Law and Disputes

12.1 Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Please contact us first through the channel in section 13, so we can try to resolve a dispute directly.

12.2 Arbitration. Subject to any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The seat of arbitration shall be Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra, India. The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with that Act. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Costs and fees shall be determined by the arbitrator in accordance with applicable law.

12.3 Courts and mandatory rights. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking interim or other relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits a right that applicable consumer law, or any other mandatory law, gives you.

13. Contact

13.1 Primary channel. For an account, billing, a refund, or these Terms, the primary channel is the contact form. We do not publish a support email address. We aim to reply within a few business days.

13.2 Other channels. We may accept a message sent on another channel we have published. A WhatsApp number or a phone number, where we have published one, is for technical issues. Please use the contact form for billing, refunds, and account disputes. This section does not limit a statutory notice, a notice from a payment provider, or a communication from a court, a regulator, or another authority. It also does not apply while the contact form is unavailable.

Thank you for using KanoonGPT.
