Ltd. or its licensors, protected under the Copyright Act 1957, the Trade Marks Act 1999, and applicable Indian IP law.

InfoKavach retains ownership of all underlying methodologies, tools, frameworks, and templates used to produce such deliverables.

6.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about InfoKavach's Services, you grant InfoKavach a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use such feedback to improve our Services without any obligation to compensate you.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties acknowledge that in the course of a service engagement, each may receive confidential information ("Confidential Information") from the other, including business strategies, technical configurations, security vulnerabilities, and commercially sensitive data.

Each party agrees to:

  • Hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party without prior written consent.
  • Use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of delivering or receiving the agreed Services.
  • Apply at minimum the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information (but no less than reasonable care).

These obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without use of the Confidential Information; or (d) must be disclosed by law or regulatory order (with prior written notice to the disclosing party where permitted).

Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for a period of 5 years.

8. Data & Privacy

InfoKavach's collection, use, and protection of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

For enterprise clients where InfoKavach processes personal data on your behalf (e.g., employee data in security awareness training or LMS platforms), a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) will be executed, defining InfoKavach's role as a Data Processor and the Client's role as Data Principal/Controller under the DPDP Act 2023.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that any personal data shared with InfoKavach for service delivery purposes is collected and shared lawfully.

9. AI-Powered Features

InfoKavach operates AI-powered features through Kavach AI and AI-driven components in our ExamPrep and LMS platforms. By using these features, you agree to the following:

  • AI-generated outputs (threat analysis, risk scores, study recommendations) are advisory in nature and do not constitute professional legal, regulatory, or compliance advice.
  • You remain solely responsible for decisions made based on AI-generated recommendations. InfoKavach's certified security professionals are available for authoritative guidance.
  • You must not attempt to circumvent, manipulate, or misuse AI systems for purposes outside their intended scope.
  • AI features may be subject to usage limits under your subscription plan. Fair use policies apply.
  • InfoKavach may update or modify AI models and algorithms without notice to improve accuracy and performance.

10. Service Levels & Disclaimers

10.1 Service Level Commitments

For managed services (SOC, SIEM, vCISO), specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs) — including uptime targets, response times, and escalation procedures — are defined in the applicable SOW or Service Agreement. In the absence of a specific SLA, InfoKavach commits to reasonable commercial efforts to deliver services in a professional, timely manner.

10.2 Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INFOKAVACH'S SERVICES AND PLATFORMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

InfoKavach does not warrant that:

  • Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
  • Security assessments will identify every vulnerability in a client's environment.
  • Exam preparation materials guarantee a passing score in any third-party certification examination.
  • AI-generated outputs are free from errors or suitable for any specific purpose.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE INDIAN LAW:

  • InfoKavach's total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to InfoKavach in the 12 months preceding the claim.
  • InfoKavach shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational harm — even if InfoKavach has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • InfoKavach shall not be liable for any security breach, data loss, or cyber incident that occurs despite the Services having been delivered in accordance with the agreed scope and industry standards.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death, or personal injury caused by InfoKavach's negligence — to the extent such exclusion is prohibited by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InfoKavach, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgements, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your violation of these Terms.
  • Your use of the Services in a manner not authorised by these Terms or the applicable SOW.
  • Any content, data, or information you provide to InfoKavach that infringes a third party's rights or violates applicable law.
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

13. Termination

13.1 Termination by You

You may terminate a service engagement by providing written notice as specified in the applicable SOW (typically 30 days). Course and subscription cancellations are subject to the refund policy in Section 5.4.

13.2 Termination by InfoKavach

InfoKavach may terminate or suspend your access to Services immediately and without notice if:

  • You breach any material provision of these Terms.
  • You fail to pay any outstanding invoice within 30 days of the due date.
  • You engage in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity.

The courts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms, subject to the dispute resolution procedure in Section 15.

15. Dispute Resolution

The parties shall make good-faith efforts to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms through direct negotiation. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice from either party, it shall be referred to binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, as amended.

  • Seat of Arbitration: Hyderabad, Telangana, India
  • Language: English
  • Arbitrator: A sole arbitrator mutually appointed by both parties, or as designated by the relevant arbitral institution

The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief from a competent court.

16. Changes to These Terms

InfoKavach reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' advance notice of material changes by posting a notice on our website and emailing registered users. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.

For active service engagements governed by a signed SOW, changes to these Terms do not alter the terms of that SOW unless both parties agree in writing.
