(UEN: 202518753N), a company incorporated in Singapore with its registered office at Singapore Business Federation Center, 160 Robinson Road, #14-04, Singapore 068914 ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of the Veritect AI platform at agent.veritect.ai ("Platform").

BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, CLICKING "I AGREE", OR ACCESSING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, firm, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" and "your" shall refer to that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy published at veritect.ai/privacy-policy, the Refunds & Cancellations Policy (available to signed-in users at agent.veritect.ai/refunds-and-cancellations) and any Order Forms, collectively constitute the complete SaaS Subscription Agreement between you and the Company.

If you purchase a subscription in India, you purchase it from Veritect Private Limited, the Company's independent Authorised Reseller in India, which manages your subscription, renewals, payment, and support as described in Section 4.4. Your use of the Platform remains governed by these Terms with the Company.

"Authorised Reseller" means Veritect Private Limited, a company incorporated in India, or any other entity appointed by the Company, that resells subscriptions to the Platform; manages their commercial terms, billing, payment, and renewal; acts as Merchant of Record for those sales; and provides onboarding, training, and customer support to the customers it serves. Each Authorised Reseller is a separate and independent legal entity and is not a subsidiary, affiliate, or branch of the Company.

"Merchant of Record" means the entity that sells a subscription to you, collects payment for it, issues the tax invoice, and accounts for the applicable indirect tax (including GST) on the sale. For subscriptions purchased in India, the Merchant of Record is the Authorised Reseller. Elsewhere, it may be the Company or a third-party payment platform engaged by the Company.

"Order Form" means any ordering document, online checkout page, or written agreement entered into by you with the Company or an Authorised Reseller that references these Terms and specifies the Subscription Plan, Fees, and any additional terms applicable to your subscription.

Scheduled maintenance windows, emergency patches, and force majeure events are excluded from any availability commitments.

2.2 Modifications to the Platform

The Company reserves the right to modify, update, enhance, deprecate, or discontinue any feature, functionality, or component of the Platform at any time, with or without notice.

4. Subscription Plans, Fees, and Payment

4.1 Subscription Plans

Access to the Platform is offered through various Subscription Plans, which may include free-tier, trial, individual, team, and enterprise plans. The features, usage limits, storage quotas, and other entitlements associated with each Subscription Plan are described on the Platform's pricing page or in the applicable Order Form. The Company reserves the right to create, modify, or discontinue Subscription Plans at any time.

4.2 Trial and Demo Accounts

The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer Trial Periods for evaluation of the Platform. Trial and demo access is subject to the following terms: (a) All provisions of these Terms apply in full during the Trial Period, including limitations of liability, disclaimers, and intellectual property provisions. (b) The Company may limit the features, functionality, storage, or usage available during the Trial Period. (c) The Company may terminate or modify a Trial Period at any time without prior notice and without liability.

(e) Upon expiry of the Trial Period, your access to the Platform may be suspended or restricted unless you subscribe to a paid Subscription Plan. (f) Data uploaded during the Trial Period will be retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy. (g) Trial and demo Accounts are limited to one per natural person or legal entity, and any abuse or circumvention of Trial Period limitations may result in immediate Account termination.

4.3 Fees and Pricing

(a) Fees for paid Subscription Plans are as set out on the Platform's pricing page or in the applicable Order Form. Fees are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) and exclusive of applicable taxes. Goods and Services Tax ("GST") is added at checkout and shown to you in full before you pay. (b) The Fees for a Subscription Term are the Fees shown at checkout when you pay for that term. A change in Fees never affects a Subscription Term you have already paid for. (c) The Company may change, increase, or restructure the Fees for any Subscription Plan. The Company shall give you at least 30 days' notice, by email or in-Platform notification, before an increase applies to a renewal of your subscription. (d) If you do not agree to revised Fees, you may simply decline to renew. No further Fees are payable, and no refund is due for any portion of the current Subscription Term. (e) The Company is under no obligation to maintain any particular pricing, offer discounts, or match pricing offered to other subscribers.

4.4 Purchases in India and the Authorised Reseller

In India, the Platform is sold through Veritect Private Limited, a company incorporated in India that acts as the Company's Authorised Reseller and as Merchant of Record for subscriptions purchased in India and paid for in Indian Rupees. In respect of those subscriptions: (a) Veritect Private Limited sells the subscription to you, agrees any commercial terms and Order Forms with you, and manages the billing, payment, and renewal of the subscription; (b) your payment is made to Veritect Private Limited, which issues the tax invoice and collects and remits GST in accordance with the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and the rules made under them; (c) Veritect Private Limited provides onboarding, training, and ongoing customer support, and handles refunds under the Refunds & Cancellations Policy; (d) to perform these functions, Veritect Private Limited has access to the billing, subscription, and renewal details associated with your Account — such as your name, email address, telephone number, billing address, GSTIN where provided, plan, payment history, and renewal dates. It has no access to your Account itself, to the Platform, or to any User Content; (e) the Company remains the sole owner and operator of the Platform, and your access to and use of the Platform are governed by these Terms with the Company; and (f) Veritect Private Limited is a separate and independent legal entity. It is not a subsidiary, affiliate, or branch of the Company, and the Company holds no equity, ownership stake, or controlling interest in it.

4.5 Payment Terms

(a) All Fees are payable in advance for the applicable Subscription Term, unless an Order Form specifies otherwise. (b) Payments are made to the Merchant of Record through a payment gateway it engages, using the payment methods offered at checkout. Neither the Company nor the Merchant of Record stores your card or bank account details; they are handled by the payment gateway. (c) A Subscription Plan is activated only once the payment gateway confirms your payment. A failed payment takes no money from you and activates nothing. If you pay while a Subscription Term is still running, the new Subscription Term begins when the current one ends, so no paid days are lost. (d) Where an Order Form provides for payment against an invoice and an invoiced amount remains unpaid for more than 15 days after its due date, the Company may suspend access to the Platform until payment is received and, after written notice, terminate the subscription. (e) You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, levies, and government charges (including GST and withholding tax) arising from your purchase and use of the Platform, except for taxes on the net income of the Company or the Merchant of Record.

4.6 Renewal

Subscriptions do not renew automatically, and no payment method is charged without your action. To continue beyond the end of a Subscription Term, you renew from Settings → Billing on the Platform before the term ends. The Company shall remind you three (3) days before, one (1) day before, and on the day a Subscription Term ends, by email and in-Platform notification. Renewal is at the Fees in effect when you pay, subject to Section 4.3. Where an Order Form provides its own renewal terms, those terms apply instead.

4.7 End of a Subscription Term

If a paid Subscription Term ends without renewal: (a) your Account becomes read-only. Your matters, documents, and saved work remain readable and can be downloaded, while AI features, uploads, and access through connected AI assistants are paused until you renew; (b) seven (7) days after the Subscription Term ends, access to the Account is paused. From that day, signing in shows only the renewal page, and no content can be opened or downloaded until the subscription is renewed; and (c) no User Content is deleted because a subscription has lapsed. User Content is retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy, and renewing restores full access to the same Account.

4.8 Taxes and Invoicing

The Merchant of Record issues a tax invoice for each payment, showing GST separately, and emails it to you when the payment is confirmed; your invoices are also available in Settings → Billing. Where the Merchant of Record is the Authorised Reseller in India, invoices comply with the Goods and Services Tax laws in force. You provide your billing address at checkout, and it determines the place of supply. If you are registered for GST, enter your registered business name and GST Identification Number (GSTIN) at checkout so that they appear on the invoice and you can claim input tax credit; an invoice cannot be re-addressed once issued. You agree to provide accurate billing information. Disputes regarding an invoice must be raised within 30 days of the invoice date; an invoice not disputed within that period is deemed accepted.

4.9 Refunds and Cancellation

You may stop a subscription at any time by not renewing it; there is no cancellation fee. Fees are non-refundable once a Subscription Term has been activated, except as set out in the Refunds & Cancellations Policy or as required by mandatory provisions of applicable law. In particular, no refund or credit is due for: (i) partial use of the Platform during a Subscription Term; (ii) unused features or entitlements within your Subscription Plan; (iii) voluntary downgrade or cancellation during a Subscription Term; or (iv) suspension or termination of your Account for breach of these Terms. Where these Terms and the Refunds & Cancellations Policy differ, these Terms govern.
