Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you (either an individual or the firm or entity you represent) and Praxis ("we", "our", "us"). By creating a firm account, accessing, or using the Praxis platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. The Praxis service

Praxis provides a web-based practice operating system for CS and CA firms, including client management, Maker-Checker-Approver task workflow, a filings calendar, and client invoicing. The service is provided as described on the website on the date of your access. A client-facing sign-in page is included so your firm's clients can view work assigned to them.

Explicitly not included in early access: online payment capture on the website (the founder invoices you directly), MCA or GST portal filing automation, AI-assisted work product generation, and self-serve password reset via email. When these features ship, any updated terms will be notified in-app to the firm owner.

3. Your account & firm

• When you create a firm, you choose a URL-safe unique slug. The slug is your firm's namespace.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your password. We do not reset passwords automatically during early access — contact the founder to recover an account.
• You agree not to share your password with others and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
• You are responsible for all activity performed under your firm's account, whether or not you authorized it.

4. Your data, your responsibility

• You retain all rights to the client records, task records, filings, invoices, and other data your firm enters into the platform ("Firm Data").
• You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, consents, and authority to input Firm Data — including client personal data — and to operate your practice in compliance with applicable law.
• We are a data processor for Firm Data you provide. Our processing is described in the Privacy Policy.
• You must not upload or store: illegal content, material that infringes any third-party right, malware, or personal data unrelated to running your practice.

5. Early access billing

During early access, the founder invoices each firm directly. No charge is made on signup. Payment is by UPI or bank transfer in INR to the account details shown on the invoice. Fees for your first month are stated on that invoice.

Automated self-serve card / UPI subscriptions with online checkout, automated subscriptions, and automated dunning are not yet available. They will ship with a full finance and security review before going live.

6. Term & termination

• These Terms apply from the date you first access the platform.
• You may close your firm account at any time by written request to the founder. Closure takes effect within 7 business days.
• We may suspend or terminate access for (a) non-payment of an undisputed invoice within 14 days of its due date, (b) a material breach of these Terms that is not cured within 14 days of notice, or (c) an immediate security or legal risk.

7. Intellectual property

• As between you and us, we own all right, title, and interest in and to the Praxis platform software, trademarks, logos, and documentation.
• You own the Firm Data as described in Section 4.
• You may not copy, decompile, reverse-engineer, or reproduce the platform except as expressly permitted under these Terms or by law.

8. Availability & disclaimers

The platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, or that any particular filing deadline will be met by the platform alone. You remain responsible for meeting all statutory and regulatory deadlines applicable to your firm and clients.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the platform. Our aggregate liability under these Terms for any claim shall not exceed the fees, if any, paid by your firm to us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your Firm Data, (b) your use of the platform in breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Mumbai, Maharashtra.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes are notified via in-app banner or email to the firm owner at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance.

13. Severability & entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the platform.
