The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. Unless expressly stated in an Enterprise Agreement, Encatch does not provide any uptime service level agreement (SLA) or service credits for downtime, interruptions, or unavailability.
12.4. Third-party dependencies
Customer acknowledges that the Service may rely on third-party infrastructure and Third-Party Services. Encatch is not responsible for outages, interruptions, or performance issues caused by third parties outside Encatch's reasonable control.
12.5. Changes to support and availability
Encatch may change its support offerings, maintenance practices, and availability features from time to time, provided that Encatch will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid material adverse impacts to core Service functionality during a then-current paid subscription term.
13. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
13.1. Suspension
Encatch may suspend or limit Customer's or any Authorized User's access to the Service (in whole or in part) immediately upon notice (or, where not practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable) if Encatch reasonably believes that:
a. fees are past due or a payment has failed;
b. the Service is being used in violation of these Terms, the SDK EULA, applicable law, or applicable Usage Limits;
c. Customer's account, credentials, or use poses a security risk to the Service or to any data, systems, or users;
d. suspension is necessary to comply with law, a court order, or a governmental request; or
e. Customer's use could materially harm Encatch, the Service, or third parties.
For billing failures, Encatch may provide a short grace period or limited functionality access as described in the Service or Billing Policy, but is not required to do so.
13.2. Restoration
Where feasible, Encatch will restore access after the event giving rise to the suspension is resolved (for example, payment is received, the security risk is mitigated, or the violation is cured). Encatch may require Customer to take reasonable corrective actions as a condition to restoration.
13.3. Termination by Customer
Customer may cancel its Plan as described in the Service, pricing page, checkout flow, the Billing Policy, or an Enterprise Agreement. Unless stated otherwise therein, cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current billing period, and Customer will remain responsible for all amounts due through the effective date of cancellation.
13.4. Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate these Terms (or an applicable Enterprise Agreement) for material breach by the other party if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice; provided that Encatch may terminate immediately upon notice if Customer's breach is not curable or involves:
a. non-payment;
b. unlawful use, abuse of the Service, or security-related harm; or
c. unauthorized access, circumvention, or misuse of the Service, SDKs, APIs, or API Keys.
13.5. Effect of Termination
Upon the effective date of termination or cancellation:
a. Customer's right to access and use the Service will end (and Encatch may disable access);
b. Customer remains responsible for all fees accrued through the effective date; and
c. Encatch's obligations regarding retention, deletion, and export of Customer Data are governed by Clause 14 (Retention, Deletion, and Backups), the Privacy Policy, the DPA (if applicable), and any applicable Enterprise Agreement.
13.6. Data export window (if offered)
If the Service provides self-service export functionality or Encatch offers an export window as described in the Service, the Billing Policy, the Privacy Policy, the DPA, or an Enterprise Agreement, Customer may export Customer Data during that period. Encatch is not responsible for any deletion or loss of Customer Data after the applicable retention/export period ends.
13.7. Survival
Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including restrictions, confidentiality (if applicable), disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnities, and dispute resolution terms.
14. RETENTION, DELETION, AND BACKUPS
14.1. Retention during an active account
During Customer's subscription term (and subject to Customer's configuration choices), Customer Data is retained and made available in the Service in accordance with the applicable Plan details and the Service's functionality. For clarity, retention periods for specific categories of Customer Data (including Customer End-User Feedback Data) may vary based on the applicable Plan and Customer's retention configuration (for example, selecting a feedback data retention window such as 3 months up to 2 years), and apply during the active subscription term.
14.2. Account inactivity (admin)
If Customer's admin account is inactive (not logged in) for a continuous period of six (6) months, Encatch may notify Customer (using the email address associated with the account and/or Admin contacts) up to three (3) times, at one (1) month intervals. If Customer does not respond or access the account following such notices, Encatch may suspend or terminate the account and mark the associated Customer Data for deletion, subject to Clause 14.7 (Legal hold) and any applicable retention/export periods described in Clause 14.4.
14.3. Deletion on request
Customer may request deletion of Customer Data as described in the Service, Privacy Policy, or DPA (if applicable). Encatch will process deletion requests in a commercially reasonable timeframe, subject to: (a) verification of the requester's authority, (b) technical feasibility, and (c) any applicable legal retention or legal hold requirements.
14.4. Post-termination retention; export
After cancellation or termination, Encatch may retain Customer Data for a limited period as described in the Service, Plan details, checkout flow, the Billing Policy, the Privacy Policy, the DPA (if applicable), or an Enterprise Agreement, to allow account close-out, billing reconciliation, support requests, and (if offered) data export. Unless expressly stated otherwise in those sources, the default post-termination retention period will not exceed sixty (60) days, after which Customer Data may be deleted from active systems, subject to Clause 14.7. Where self-service export is not available, Customer may request export via Encatch support, as described in the Service or support pages (if any).
14.5. Backup deletion
After Customer Data is deleted from active systems, Encatch will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete it from backups within forty-five (45) days, unless a longer period is required by law or applicable legal hold. For clarity, this Clause 14.5 applies to Customer Data deleted from active systems and does not apply to operational logs retained in accordance with Clause 9.4.
14.6. Transient metadata and logs
Certain technical, diagnostic, and operational data (including auto-captured device/app metadata and similar properties) may be transmitted to Encatch systems for processing. Where such properties are not enabled by Customer for storage, reporting, or use as persistent attributes, Encatch will process them transiently and use commercially reasonable efforts to discard them from active records within one (1) month, subject to legal hold requirements. If Customer enables such properties for reporting/storage, retention will follow the applicable Plan details and the Service's functionality.
14.7. Legal hold
Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, Encatch may retain Customer Data where required to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
15. PUBLICITY; CUSTOMER MARKS (OPT-OUT)
15.1. Use of Customer name and logo
Subject to this Clause 15, Customer grants Encatch a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license during the subscription term (unless revoked earlier) to use Customer's name, logo, and trademarks ("Customer Marks") solely to identify Customer as a user of the Service (for example, on Encatch's website, sales materials, and marketing listings). For clarity, Encatch will not use any individual's name, likeness, or testimonial relating to Customer without Customer's prior written consent.
15.2. No endorsement
Encatch's use of Customer Marks will not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation, and Encatch will not issue press releases or case studies about Customer without Customer's prior written consent (email is sufficient).
15.3. Brand guidelines
If Customer provides reasonable written brand/trademark guidelines, Encatch will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with them.
15.4. Opt-out / revocation
Customer may revoke the license in Clause 15.1 at any time by written notice delivered in accordance with Clause 22 (Notices).
15.5. Removal timing
After receiving a valid revocation notice, Encatch will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) remove Customer Marks from Encatch's website within five (5) business days, and (b) remove Customer Marks from other non-website marketing materials in the next standard update/revision cycle, (or sooner where reasonably practicable).
15.6. Enterprise override
If an applicable Enterprise Agreement includes publicity or trademark terms, those terms will control to the extent of any conflict.
16. CONFIDENTIALITY
16.1. Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by or on behalf of a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party") in connection with the Service or these Terms, whether disclosed in writing, orally, visually, electronically, or by inspection, that (a) is marked or designated as confidential, or (b) reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes: (i) the Service and any non-public features, roadmaps, pricing, plans, discounting, and performance information; (ii) non-public technical information, architecture, APIs, security measures, vulnerabilities, and any Security Incident-related details; (iii) any non-public business, financial, product, and go-to-market information; (iv) the terms of any Enterprise Agreement (if applicable) and any non-public communications relating to support or account management; and (v) all copies, extracts, analyses, compilations, and derivative materials of the foregoing. For clarity, Customer Data is addressed under Clause 8 and the DPA (if applicable). Any non-public Customer Data accessed by Encatch for support will be treated as Confidential Information under this Clause 16.
16.2. Protection and permitted use
The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information using at least (a) the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, and (b) the reasonable industry-standard degree of care for information of that type, in each case, whichever is higher, and in no event less than reasonable care.
16.3. Permitted disclosures; Representatives
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, contractors, and professional advisors ("Representatives") who have a need to know for the permitted purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these Terms. The Receiving Party is responsible for any breach of this Clause 16 by its Representatives.
16.4. Exclusions
Confidential Information does not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms; (b) was lawfully known to the Receiving Party without restriction before receipt from the Disclosing Party; (c) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction and without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
16.5. Compelled disclosure
If the Receiving Party is required by law, regulation, or a valid court or governmental order to disclose Confidential Information, it may do so provided that, where legally permitted, it gives the Disclosing Party prompt notice and reasonably cooperates (at the Disclosing Party's expense) to seek confidential treatment or limit the disclosure. The Receiving Party will disclose only the minimum Confidential Information required.
16.6. Remedies
The Receiving Party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate. The Disclosing Party may seek injunctive or equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies available at law.
16.7. Survival
This Clause 16 will survive termination or expiration of these Terms for three (3) years; provided that obligations relating to trade secrets will survive for so long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.
17. SECURITY AND SECURITY INCIDENT HANDLING
17.1. Reasonable security measures
Encatch will implement and maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Such safeguards may include measures relating to access controls, encryption (where appropriate), network security, and monitoring. Encatch does not warrant that the Service will be completely secure or free from vulnerabilities.
17.2. Shared responsibility
Customer acknowledges that security is a shared responsibility. Customer is responsible for (a) configuring the Service appropriately, (b) maintaining the security of its account credentials and API Keys, (c) controlling access by Authorized Users, and (d) securing its own systems, devices, and integrations with Third-Party Services.
17.3. Notification of Security Incident
In the event of a confirmed Security Incident affecting Customer Data within Encatch's systems, Encatch will notify Customer without undue delay and, where feasible, within seventy-two (72) hours after Encatch becomes aware of the confirmed Security Incident. Notice may be provided by email to Customer's Admin contact(s) or through the Service.
17.4. Incident response and cooperation
Encatch will take commercially reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and mitigate the effects of a Security Incident. Encatch will provide information reasonably requested by Customer to assist Customer in meeting its own legal obligations, subject to confidentiality and security limitations. Any additional assistance beyond Encatch's standard incident response may be provided at Customer's expense, as agreed.
17.5. Limitations
Encatch will not be responsible for Security Incidents or breaches resulting from (a) Customer's or Authorized Users' acts or omissions, (b) compromised credentials not caused by Encatch, (c) Customer's configuration choices, or (d) Third-Party Services outside Encatch's reasonable control.
18. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
18.1. Service provided "as is" and "as available"
Except as expressly stated in an Enterprise Agreement, the Service (including the SDKs, APIs, integrations, and any AI Features) is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
18.2. No implied warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ENCATCH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
18.3. No guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free service
Encatch does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected, or that the Service will be free of viruses or other harmful components.
18.4. AI Features and AI Outputs disclaimers
Customer acknowledges that AI Outputs may be probabilistic, incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate for Customer's use case. Encatch disclaims any warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of AI Outputs. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and validating AI Outputs before relying on them, and for determining whether AI Outputs are appropriate for Customer's intended use.
18.5. Third-Party Services and integrations
Encatch does not warrant and is not responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their availability, security, functionality, or any acts or omissions of third parties. Any integration is provided for convenience and may be modified, interrupted, or discontinued.
18.6. Beta/preview features
Any beta, preview, early access, pilot, or "coming soon" features are provided "as is" and "as available," may contain errors or limitations, and may be changed or discontinued at any time.
18.7. Data and compliance responsibility
Customer is responsible for (a) configuring and using the Service in compliance with applicable laws, (b) obtaining all notices, consents, and rights required for its collection and use of Customer Data, and (c) maintaining appropriate backups or exports of Customer Data where needed.
18.8. No professional advice
The Service and any AI Outputs do not constitute legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice, and Customer should not rely on them as such.
18.9. Jurisdictional limitation
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to Customer. In such cases, Encatch's warranties are limited to the minimum scope permitted by applicable law.
19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
19.1. Exclusion of indirect damages
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Encatch be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business, anticipated savings, or data, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if Encatch has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
19.2. Liability cap
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Encatch's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the fees paid (or payable) by Customer to Encatch for the Service in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
19.3. Basis of the bargain
Customer acknowledges that the fees reflect the allocation of risk under these Terms and that the limitations in this Clause 19 form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
19.4. Exceptions
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Encatch's liability to the extent it cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the exclusions and cap in this Clause 19 will not apply to liability of Encatch arising from Encatch's fraud or willful misconduct.
19.5. Third-Party Services
Without limiting Clause 10, Encatch will not be liable for any interruption, failure, security issue, or loss caused by Third-Party Services or third-party infrastructure outside Encatch's reasonable control.
20. INDEMNITIES
20.1. Customer indemnity
Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Encatch, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, demands, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
a. Customer Data or any content submitted, uploaded, transmitted, or otherwise made available by or on behalf of Customer or Customer End Users through the Service (including any allegation that such content infringes, misappropriates, or violates any third-party rights);

d. Customer's integrations with, or use of, Third-Party Services (including webhooks/connectors) and any downstream processing or disclosure of Customer Data by such third parties;
e. Customer's use of the Service to collect, ingest, import, or process data (including via CSV/JSON or similar imports) in a manner that violates applicable law or third-party rights; and
f. Any acts or omissions of Customer's Authorized Users or Customer End Users in connection with the Service.
20.2. Indemnity procedure
Encatch will:
a. promptly notify Customer in writing of any indemnified claim (provided that any delay will not relieve Customer of its obligations except to the extent materially prejudiced by the delay);
b. give Customer control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that Customer may not settle any claim in a manner that imposes any admission of liability or obligation on Encatch without Encatch's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld); and
c. provide reasonable cooperation at Customer's expense. Encatch may participate in the defense with counsel of its choosing at its own expense.
20.3. Enterprise IP indemnity (if applicable)
Any intellectual property indemnity by Encatch (if offered) will apply only if expressly set out in an Enterprise Agreement, and will be subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and remedies stated therein.
21. IP AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
21.1. Encatch IP
As between the parties, Encatch and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including the dashboard, software, SDKs, APIs, API Keys, integrations, AI Features, AI Outputs (to the extent not consisting of Customer Data), documentation, and all related technology and intellectual property rights. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms (and the SDK EULA, as applicable), no rights are granted to Customer, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
21.2. Customer Data
As between Encatch and Customer, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data, subject to the license granted to Encatch under Clause 8.2 and, where applicable, the DPA.
21.3. Feedback
Customer (and its Authorized Users) may provide Feedback as described in Clause 8.5. Encatch may use such Feedback in accordance with Clause 8.5.
21.4. Restrictions; no reverse engineering
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Customer will not (and will not permit any third party to): (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Service; (c) remove or alter proprietary notices; or (d) use the Service to build, benchmark, or improve a competing product or service (including by systematic scraping or extraction beyond ordinary use). SDK-specific restrictions (including SDK distribution, API Keys, and developer tooling) are governed by the SDK EULA.
21.5. Open-source software
The Service, SDKs, or related components may include or incorporate open-source software ("OSS"). OSS is licensed to Customer under the applicable OSS license terms (not these Terms), and those OSS license terms will control with respect to the OSS components. Where required, Encatch will make applicable OSS notices available in the documentation, within the SDK/package, or on Encatch's website/support pages.

22.5. Change of contact details

23. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India.
23.2. Exclusive jurisdiction (Mumbai)
The courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India will have exclusive jurisdiction over (a) any dispute, claim, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any question regarding their existence, validity, or termination), (b) any application for interim or injunctive relief (including under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996), and (c) any application relating to the arbitration (including appointment of the arbitrator, interim measures, supervisory jurisdiction, and enforcement of any arbitral award). For clarity, arbitration under Clause 23.4 will be the final method of resolving disputes on the merits, and the courts at Mumbai will be approached only for interim relief and arbitration-related court applications.
23.3. Good-faith negotiations; mediation (pre-arbitration)
Before commencing arbitration, a party must deliver a written notice of dispute describing the nature of the dispute, the relief sought, and the basis for its position. The parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute informally for fifteen (15) days after the notice of dispute is received (the "Negotiation Period"). If the dispute is not resolved within the Negotiation Period, either party may propose mediation in Mumbai, India (in English). Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, mediation will be non-binding and will not extend beyond thirty (30) days from the date the mediation is initiated. If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation/mediation, either party may commence arbitration by submitting a notice of arbitration in accordance with Clause 23.4.
23.4. Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, or enforceability, will be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration (MCIA) in accordance with the MCIA Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted.
23.5. Seat, venue, language; tribunal
The seat (and legal place) of arbitration will be Mumbai, India. The venue of hearings will be Mumbai, India (or such other place / remote mode as the tribunal may determine). The arbitration will be conducted in English. The tribunal will consist of one (1) arbitrator.
23.6. Confidentiality
The parties will keep the existence of the arbitration, all arbitral communications, and all materials and awards confidential, except to the extent disclosure is required by law, to enforce an award, or to seek interim relief.
23.7. Continuity
During the pendency of any dispute, each party will continue to perform its undisputed obligations under these Terms to the extent commercially reasonable.
24. GENERAL TERMS
24.1. Assignment
Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms (or any rights or obligations under them) without Encatch's prior written consent. Encatch may assign these Terms without Customer's consent (a) to an Affiliate, or (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Encatch's assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Clause 24.1 is void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
24.2. Force majeure
Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) due to events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, labor disputes, government actions, epidemics/pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, and failures of third-party hosting or infrastructure providers ("Force Majeure Event"). The affected party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event.
24.3. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent as closely as possible.
24.4. Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver. A waiver of any breach will not be a waiver of any other breach.
24.5. Relationship of the parties
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship, or employment relationship between the parties. Customer has no authority to bind Encatch.
24.6. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with the Incorporated Terms (and any applicable Enterprise Agreement), constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, or agreements on that subject matter. In the event of any conflict, the order of precedence in Clause 1.2 will apply.
24.7. Changes to these Terms
Encatch may update these Terms from time to time. Unless an Enterprise Agreement states otherwise, updated Terms will be effective when posted in the Service or on Encatch's website (or otherwise made available to Customer). If a change materially reduces Customer's rights or materially increases Customer's obligations, Encatch will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice (for example, via the Service or email). Continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
24.8. Survival
Clauses that by their nature should survive termination or expiration will survive, including (as applicable) Clauses 1–2, 7–11, 13–14, 16–24, and any disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnities, and dispute resolution provisions.
