Terms of Service – GST Comply

1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to GST Comply ("Company", "we", "our", or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website at gstcomply.in, mobile applications, cloud invoicing tools, and tax compliance technology services (collectively, the "Platform").

By creating an account, accessing our portal, or generating an invoice, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately discontinue use of the Platform.

2. Platform & Services Description

GST Comply provides cloud-based software tools designed to help Indian businesses, traders, manufacturers, freelancers, and enterprises manage Goods and Services Tax (GST) invoicing, ledgers, tax calculation, and assisted return preparation (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, CMP-08).

Important Notice: GST Comply is an independent technology solution provider. We are not a government agency, nor are we directly affiliated with the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) or the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).

3. Role of Empanelled Chartered Accountants

GST Comply facilitates connections between registered business taxpayers and qualified, independent Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Tax Practitioners empanelled on our network:

Verification Scope: Any return verification or filing review provided by empanelled CAs is based strictly upon the sales, purchases, and input tax credit (ITC) data entered or uploaded by the user.
Statutory Responsibility: Under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (CGST Act), the primary legal liability for declaring authentic transactions, maintaining books of accounts, and paying appropriate tax dues rests solely upon the registered taxpayer.
No Legal Representation: Filing assistance does not constitute formal legal defense or guarantee against audit inquiries, scrutiny, or notices issued by the GST authorities.

4. User Accounts, Credentials & GSTIN Accuracy

To access compliance features, you must register an account and provide accurate business information:

You represent that you are an authorized representative of the business entity holding the GSTIN entered into the system.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and one-time passwords (OTPs).
You agree to notify GST Comply immediately at support@gstcomply.in if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

5. Free Invoice Generation & Tax Calculation

Our tax invoice generator is offered with a 100% Free Forever tier for eligible small businesses. While our software updates tax rates (CGST, SGST, IGST) based on standard HSN/SAC codes, it is the user's responsibility to confirm that the tax rate chosen matches the statutory classification specified by GST notifications.

Zero Hidden Fees: Free invoicing does not require credit card submission and does not insert third-party watermarks onto your customer invoices.

6. Subscriptions, Fees & Payments

Premium tiers (including advanced inventory reconciliation, multi-user access, and dedicated CA filing packages) are billed in Indian Rupees (INR) with applicable GST. Subscription fees are charged on a monthly or annual basis. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time prior to the next billing renewal cycle.

7. Intellectual Property & Data Ownership

Your Data: You retain full ownership of all business records, client databases, product catalogs, and invoice records generated or stored on our platform.

Our Technology: All software code, user interface designs, logos, graphics, algorithms, and documentation are the exclusive intellectual property of GST Comply and protected under copyright and trademark laws.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Indian law, GST Comply and its directors, officers, employees, and empanelled professionals shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from:

GSTN government portal downtime, server timeouts, or delayed API acknowledgments;
Late filing penalties or interest charges arising from late submission or incorrect data entered by the user;
Loss of business profits, goodwill, or operational delays.
