- You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter, for checking every document, computation and report before you use it, and for your own filings, payments and statutory compliance.
- Government portals, Tally and other third-party systems are outside our control. We are not responsible for their errors, changes or downtime.

- Our total liability is limited (section 21), and we are not liable for tax, interest, penalties, notices or lost data except as these Terms or the law provide.
- Disputes are resolved under Indian law, by arbitration seated at Mumbai (section 29). Your rights under consumer protection law are not affected.

7.1 You must give accurate and complete registration information and keep it up to date.
7.2 You are responsible for your account credentials, for all activity under your account and your users' accounts, and for giving and removing access for your own staff. Cloud sign-in and account security are handled by the Cloud Services; the local billing database does not store a readable cloud password. Tell us immediately at security@unmone.com if you suspect unauthorised use.
7.3 We may require identity, organisation or GSTIN verification, and we may refuse or limit access where we reasonably suspect fraud, misuse or a security risk.

8.3 Fees are payable in advance. If a payment is overdue, we will notify you. If it remains unpaid 15 days after that notice, we may suspend the Cloud Services until it is paid. Your Data will not be deleted during suspension except as section 26 provides.
8.4 Fees are non-refundable except as stated in our refund policy, in your Order, or where the law requires a refund.
8.5 Where you deduct tax at source from our fees, you must deposit it on time and give us the TDS certificate.

9.1 Free features, trials and beta or preview features are provided "as is". We may change, limit or withdraw them, giving reasonable notice where practical.
9.2 Features, modules and dates described as "coming soon", "planned" or similar are statements of current intention, not commitments. We may change them, release them later, charge for them, or not release them. Do not make a purchase or business decision in reliance on an unreleased feature.
10. Not professional advice
10.1 The Services are tools. They do not provide tax, legal, accounting, audit, investment or financial advice, and using them does not create a professional, fiduciary or client relationship between you and us.
10.2 Any computation, classification, suggestion, reconciliation result, due-date reminder, report, template or content produced by the Services is based on your inputs, third-party data and rules as configured at the time. You must review and verify it, or have a qualified professional do so, before relying on it.
10.3 Separate professional services, if you engage us for them, are governed by a separate engagement letter and not by these Terms.

- any tax, interest, late fee, penalty, demand or notice arising from your filings, records or business activities.
Laws, rates, forms and portal requirements change frequently. We try to keep the Services up to date, but we do not guarantee that they reflect every change at all times, or that they meet every requirement applicable to your circumstances.
12. Government portals, Tally and other third-party services
12.1 The Services may connect to, import from or produce data for third-party systems, including the GST, Income-tax, TRACES, MCA and EPFO portals, TallyPrime, banks, payment gateways, email providers and Microsoft Windows and Store services ("Third-Party Services").
12.2 We do not control Third-Party Services and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or responsible for them. We are not liable for their availability, accuracy, security, changes, fees or errors, or for any rejection, delay or failure caused by them. Data from Third-Party Services is provided as received.
12.3 To use features that connect to TallyPrime, you must hold a valid Tally licence and comply with its terms. Tally, TallyPrime, Microsoft, Windows and other third-party names are trademarks of their respective owners, used only to describe compatibility.

14. Your Data
14.1 You own Your Data. We do not claim ownership of it.

Where we process it on your behalf in the Cloud Services, we act as your Data Processor and process it in line with your instructions, these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
14.5 We may use aggregated, de-identified technical and usage data that does not identify you or any individual to operate, secure and improve the Services.
15. Backups and data safety
15.1 You are responsible for taking regular backups of data held in the App, keeping them in a secure separate location, and testing that you can restore them. Before uninstalling, resetting or moving the App, create a fresh backup. Backups created in the App are saved in Documents\UNM One\Backups.
15.2 For the Cloud Services, we take regular backups as part of our operations. These are for disaster recovery, not a substitute for your own exports. We do not guarantee that a specific earlier version of Your Data can be restored.
16. Security
We use reasonable security practices appropriate to the nature of the Services. However, no software, network or storage system is completely secure, and we do not guarantee that the Services will be free of unauthorised access, loss or interruption. You are responsible for securing your devices, networks, accounts and backups, including keeping Windows and the App updated and using device encryption.
17. Availability, maintenance and support
17.1 The App works offline. For the Cloud Services, we aim for high availability but, unless your Order includes a service level, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may carry out maintenance and will try to schedule planned maintenance outside business hours.
17.2 Support is provided through the channels and hours we publish, on a reasonable-efforts basis, unless your Order says otherwise.
18. Updates and changes to the Services
