3. Organisations, Business Groups, and User Management

3.2. You are solely responsible for the roles and permissions you assign to Authorised Users, including permissions governing visibility of financial and cost information. Actions taken by Authorised Users within the permissions granted to them shall be deemed actions of your Organisation.
3.3. Upon an Authorised User leaving your business, you are responsible for revoking their access. We are not liable for access exercised under permissions that you failed to revoke.
4. The Service and Your Responsibilities
4.1. LedgrBook provides software for billing, invoicing, purchasing, expense recording, inventory tracking, receivables and payables management, and business reporting, with functionality designed to support compliance with India's Goods and Services Tax ("GST") framework.
4.2. The Service is a tool, not an advisor. You acknowledge and agree that:
- You remain solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and lawfulness of all Customer Data and all documents issued through the Service;
- The Service produces GST-ready records, computations, and reports but does not file returns with, or transmit data to, the GST portal or any government system;
- Nothing in the Service, its outputs, its documentation, or our communications constitutes tax, legal, accounting, or professional advice. You should verify statutory positions with a qualified professional;
- Tax computations within the Service are performed according to configurations you control (including tax rates, HSN/SAC codes, place of supply, and registration details). You are responsible for the correctness of those configurations;
- You are solely responsible for your statutory filings, payments, and compliance obligations, and for reviewing Service outputs before relying on them for any statutory purpose.
4.3. We may enhance, modify, or discontinue features of the Service. Where a change materially reduces core functionality of your paid Subscription, we will provide at least 30 days' prior notice.

6.3.

6.4. We may generate and use aggregated, de-identified, and statistical data derived from use of the Service for analytics, benchmarking, and product improvement, provided such data does not identify you, your Organisation, or any individual.

Residual copies in encrypted backups are purged on a rolling schedule not exceeding [90] days thereafter. We will send at least one reminder before deletion. Nothing in this clause requires us to delete data we are legally required to retain.
7. Fees, Billing, and Taxes
7.1. Access to paid features requires a Subscription. Fees are as published on our pricing page or as agreed in an order form, and are payable in advance in Indian Rupees (INR).

7.3. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in accordance with the Refund & Cancellation Policy. You authorise our payment processor to charge the applicable Fees on each renewal.
7.4. We may revise Fees by providing at least thirty (30) days' prior notice. Revised Fees apply from your next renewal. If you do not accept a revision, you may cancel before the renewal takes effect.

7.6. Except as expressly stated in the Refund & Cancellation Policy, all Fees are non-refundable.

8.2. Where withdrawal of free access would remove your access to Customer Data, we will provide reasonable prior notice and an opportunity to export.
9. Availability, Support, and Maintenance
9.1. We endeavour to make the Service available on a continuous basis, targeting an uptime of [99.5]% measured monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance and events beyond our reasonable control. This target is an objective, not a warranty, unless a separate service level agreement has been executed.

13. Warranties and Disclaimers
13.1. Each party warrants that it has the authority to enter into these Terms.
13.2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

13.3. Without limiting the foregoing, Namith does not warrant that use of the Service will ensure compliance with GST law or any other statute; statutory compliance depends on the accuracy of your data, your configurations, and your filings.
