Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Sanhita. By creating an account or by claiming an access code, you accept them on behalf of yourself and, if applicable, the firm whose email domain you registered with.

1. The service

Sanhita is software that helps you research Indian case law, verify citations, and draft court-ready filings. Every answer the platform produces is grounded in a corpus we maintain; every citation passes through verification gates before the answer renders. Sanhita is not a law firm and the platform's output is not legal advice — final responsibility for any filing or counsel rests with you as the qualified advocate.

2. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least eighteen years old and either enrolled as an advocate in India or working under the supervision of one. You agree to keep your password and any access codes confidential and to notify us at security@sanhita.co if you suspect your account has been compromised. We may suspend accounts that show signs of unauthorized access while we investigate.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to (a) use the service to draft submissions you would be professionally barred from filing, (b) attempt to circumvent the citation validators or the abuse-prevention rate-limits, (c) scrape the corpus or otherwise extract bulk data outside the in-product export tools, (d) impersonate another advocate or firm, or (e) upload material to the Vault you do not have the right to retain. Violations may result in immediate suspension.

4. Pricing & billing

Plans, seat counts, and renewal terms are agreed in your order form. Pilot pricing is honoured for the period specified in your invite. Annual contracts auto-renew at list price unless you give thirty days' notice. Refunds are granted pro-rata for material outages.

5. Intellectual property

The Sanhita platform, the curated corpus organisation, the validators, the drafting templates we author, and the workflow recipes are our intellectual property. The content you create inside the workspace — your matter notes, drafts, and vault uploads — belongs to you. Public-domain sources (statutes, judgments, government bills) remain in the public domain.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Sanhita's aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to these terms is capped at the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or loss of client relationships. Nothing in this clause limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at New Delhi. We will make a good-faith attempt to resolve disputes through negotiation before proceeding to litigation.

8. Changes

We may revise these terms with at least fourteen days' notice for material changes. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance. If you object to a change, you may terminate your account and we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid fees.
