1. Who we are
ADSage.in is a brand owned and operated by Dave Groups, based in Mumbai, India. References to "we", "us" or "our" mean Dave Groups. References to "you" or "client" mean the individual or organisation engaging our services.
2. Best-effort service delivery
We commit to delivering the highest quality work that is realistically within our reach for the scope, budget and timeline agreed in your engagement letter or quotation. We bring care, professionalism and accountability to every project, but we aren't a guarantee of specific business outcomes such as revenue, search rankings, traffic, conversions or follower counts. Those depend on many factors outside our direct control, including market conditions, competition, third-party platforms, and your own operations.
3. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Indian law, Dave Groups and its directors, employees and contractors don't assume liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or damage to reputation, arising from or related to the services we provide.
Our aggregate liability under any engagement is limited to the fees actually paid by you for the specific service that gave rise to the claim during the three (3) months immediately preceding the event.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or other applicable Indian law.
4. Use of third-party services
We are a one-window provider that relies on multiple third-party platforms and services to deliver our work. These include (but aren't limited to):
- Hosting infrastructure (e.g. AWS, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Netlify, Vercel)
- Domain registrars (e.g. BigRock, GoDaddy, Cloudflare Registrar)
- Business email providers (e.g. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail)
- CRM, automation and email-marketing platforms (e.g. HubSpot, Zapier, Mailchimp, Klaviyo)
- Analytics and search platforms (e.g. Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster)
- Social media platforms (Meta, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp Business)
- Payment gateways (e.g. Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, Stripe)
- AI providers and APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Microsoft)
- Print production and signage partners
Each of these third parties has its own terms, pricing, uptime and policies, which can change without notice. We will use commercially reasonable care in selecting partners, but we aren't responsible for outages, service changes, pricing increases, account suspensions, data losses or feature deprecations originating from third parties.

Either party may terminate a retainer with 30 days' written notice; project work in progress will be invoiced for time spent at our standard hourly rate at termination.
All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR). Goods and Services Tax (GST) is charged in addition at the applicable rate and will appear on every tax invoice. For clients outside India, GST treatment follows the export-of-services rules under the IGST Act.
Consumers (Consumer Protection Act, 2019): if you engage us as a consumer rather than for a business or commercial purpose, your statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 apply and are not waived by these terms. Complaints may be raised through our grievance channel below or before the appropriate Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
Business clients: where services are engaged for a business or commercial purpose, the statutory consumer rights above do not apply. Business cancellation is governed by the engagement letter or master services agreement.

We will treat your business information as confidential and won't disclose it to third parties except where necessary to deliver the services (e.g. with hosting providers or other named subcontractors), or where required by law. Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and reflects our obligations as a Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
9. Marketing communications & anti-spam
By engaging us, you provide consent for transactional emails relating to your project. Marketing emails (newsletters, promotions) are sent only on the basis of separate express consent, which you may withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link in every message or by emailing our office. We process unsubscribes promptly. Every commercial email identifies us by name and provides a one-click unsubscribe. We follow TRAI's commercial-communications regulations for any SMS or call campaigns we run on your behalf.
10. Warranties & limitation of liability
We provide the services with reasonable skill and care. Except for the express warranties set out in your scope or statement of work, services are provided "as is".

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, fraud, death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be limited under Indian law.
11. Governing law & jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra shall have exclusive jurisdiction, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles. Disputes will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation; failing that, the parties may refer the dispute to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, seated in Mumbai, before approaching the courts. Statutory consumer rights, where applicable, are preserved notwithstanding any contrary clause.
