8.2 Licence to Us. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and process your Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services for you, to prevent or address technical or security issues, and to comply with law. We will not use your Customer Data for our own advertising or unrelated commercial purposes, or sell it, without your explicit consent.
8.3 Data Protection Roles. In connection with personal data processed through the Services, AdsEra acts in a dual capacity under the DPDP Act and applicable data protection law:
8.4 Data Processing Agreement. Where required by applicable law, the processing of Candidate Data and Employee Data by AdsEra as Data Processor is governed by a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which addresses the scope and purpose of processing, confidentiality, security measures, sub-processing, assistance with data-principal rights, breach notification, and data return or deletion on termination. The DPA, where executed, is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you require a DPA, please contact us at [legal@adsera.in].
8.5 Sensitive Data.The Services allow you to store certain sensitive information, including employee bank account details, PAN, and payroll data. Such fields are encrypted at rest. You are responsible for ensuring you are permitted to process such data and for restricting access appropriately through the Platform's role-based controls.
9.1 Email (SMTP). You may configure your own SMTP credentials to send email through the Services. You are responsible for your email-sending practices, the legality of your content and recipient lists, deliverability, and compliance with applicable anti-spam laws, including honouring opt-out requests.
9.2 WhatsApp Business.WhatsApp messaging is provided through the WhatsApp Business API and is subject to Meta's and WhatsApp's applicable terms and policies. You are responsible for obtaining required opt-in consent from recipients, using approved message templates, and complying with all applicable messaging policies. We are not responsible for message deliverability, or for any suspension or restriction imposed by Meta or WhatsApp on your messaging.
9.3 Other Integrations.The Services may interoperate with third-party services (for example, via REST API calls or webhooks you configure). Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party's terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services. We do not guarantee the continued availability of any integration.
The Platform and all underlying software, source code, databases, designs, functionality, text, graphics, and other content (excluding Customer Data), together with all trademarks, service marks, and logos ("Marks"), are and remain the exclusive property of AdsEra or its licensors, and are protected by the intellectual property laws of India and international conventions.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes during your subscription term. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Platform or its Marks, or remove any proprietary notices, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law.
If you provide us with any suggestions, ideas, feedback, or recommendations regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use and incorporate such Feedback for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily and is not confidential.
Each party may have access to non-public information of the other party ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information (and no less than reasonable care), and to use it only as necessary to perform under these Terms. This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was lawfully known before disclosure, is independently developed, or is required to be disclosed by law (with reasonable notice where permitted).
The Services allow you to share selected information with your Clients through the Client Portal. You control what is shared, with whom, and when — including which pipeline stages, candidate details, and invoices are visible. You are solely responsible for the decision to share any information with a Client, for ensuring you are permitted to do so, and for the consequences of such sharing. AdsEra is not responsible for how your Clients use information you choose to make available to them.
We implement and maintain reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, consistent with the DPDP Act and applicable law. These measures include encryption of data in transit and encryption of sensitive fields at rest, role-based access controls, multi-tenant data isolation, secure authentication, and audit logging.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you acknowledge that you provide and process Customer Data at your own risk. You are responsible for configuring access controls appropriately, managing your Authorized Users, and safeguarding your credentials. You agree to notify us promptly of any suspected security incident affecting your Account.

16.1 By You. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and no partial refunds are provided except as stated in Section 5.6.
16.2 By Us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, with or without notice, for reasons including:
Where reasonable and lawful, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure before termination for non-urgent breaches.
16.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, your right to access the Services ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including those relating to ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will survive.
For a limited grace period following termination or expiry of your subscription (as specified in your plan or the DPA, or otherwise a reasonable period), you may request export of your Customer Data in a commonly used format. After the grace period, we will delete or anonymize your Customer Data from our active systems, except where retention is required by law (for example, tax, accounting, or statutory record-keeping obligations) or where data is held in routine backups that are cycled out in the ordinary course. Certain records, such as audit logs, may be retained for the periods described in our Privacy Policy to meet legal and compliance obligations.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY ARISING FROM OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT, OR BREACH OF OUR EXPLICIT SECURITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE DPDP ACT.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AdsEra and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party arising out of or relating to: (1) your Customer Data; (2) your use of the Services; (3) your breach of these Terms or the DPA; (4) your violation of any applicable law, including data protection, labour, or anti-spam laws; (5) your failure to obtain or maintain any required consent for the processing or contacting of candidates, employees, or other individuals; (6) your communications sent through the Services; or (7) your violation of the rights of any third party.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of them.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, any applicable DPA, and any order or plan you subscribe to, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. If any provision is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable and does not affect the remaining provisions. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; you may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the parties. Notices to you may be provided by email or through the Platform.
You consent to receive electronic communications from us and agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.
