1. Who we are
These Terms govern your access to and use of pubtact (the “Service”), provided by Pubtact (a service operated from India)(“we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
2. Your account
You're responsible for your account, your password, your content, and everything that happens on it. Heads-up:
- You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA) to use pubtact.
- One person, one account. Bots don't get to mingle.
- Keep your credentials safe; tell us at hello@pubtact.com if your account is compromised.
3. What you can do
Use pubtact to create digital contact cards, share them via link, QR, NFC, vCard or social, and (later) discover local professionals. You may use the free tier without paying anything, or upgrade to a paid plan when those are available.
4. What you can't do
- No impersonation, harassment, fraud, hate, illegal goods, doxxing, or weapons.
- No scraping, framing, or reverse-engineering the Service.
- No abusing the API or sending spam through pubtact links.
- No uploading content you don't have the rights to (photos, logos, copy).
We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules — usually after a warning, immediately if the abuse is serious.
5. Your content stays yours
You own everything you upload — your photos, bio, links, branding. By using pubtact you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, transmit, format, generate previews from, and back up that content solely to run the Service. We won't sell your content or your contacts.
6. Our content is ours
The pubtact name, logo, templates, code, and design are protected by IP laws. You may not copy or redistribute them, but you can absolutely take inspiration — designers gotta design.
7. Paid plans, billing & refunds
Some features may require a paid subscription (Pro, Business). Pricing is shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Taxes (GST, VAT) are added where required by law.
8. Payment processors
We use third-party payment processors (e.g. Stripe, Razorpay) to handle transactions. Your card data is sent directly to them under PCI-DSS — we never see or store your full card number. Their terms apply to the payment.
9. Local search & discoverability
Local search is opt-in. Your card stays private until you flip Discoverable on. Even then, we share only the information you choose to publish; we don't sell location to advertisers.
10. Service availability
We aim for 99.5%+ uptime, but pubtact is provided “as is”. We do scheduled maintenance and occasionally things break. We're not liable for downtime, data loss, or missed handshakes.
11. Termination
You can delete your account anytime — email us and we'll wipe your data within 30 days (legal retention excepted). We can suspend or close your account if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, or if we shut the Service down (we'll give you at least 30 days' notice before doing the latter).
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of pubtact is capped at the higher of (a) the amount you paid us in the last 12 months, or (b) ₹2,500 / USD 30. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or lost-profits damages.
13. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Pune, Maharashtra have exclusive jurisdiction (unless your local consumer-protection law overrides this). We'll always try to settle a dispute over email first — please reach out.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally. If the change is material we'll email you and post a banner. Continued use after the change counts as acceptance.
