• Provide accurate, complete, and current payment information, including a valid payment method (e.g., credit/debit card, UPI, or net banking);

Unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase, all subscriptions will renew automatically at the end of the billing cycle (monthly, quarterly, or annually) until you cancel. You are responsible for all fees associated with your account and any usage beyond plan limits.

Failure to complete payment may result in downgraded access, suspension, or termination of your Services.

Asvara continuously improves its Services and may update its pricing or features over time. We reserve the right to:

• Introduce new subscription tiers or usage-based plans;
• Increase pricing for subscriptions or other services.

If we increase the pricing of a recurring plan you are subscribed to, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via email or in-product notification before the changes take effect.

If you do not agree with any pricing changes, you must cancel your subscription before the new prices apply.

8. Termination and Suspension

8.1 By You

You are free to stop using our Services at any time. You may delete your account or cease accessing the platform without notice. If you are on a paid subscription, cancellation policies outlined in Section 7.2 will apply. Please note that simply discontinuing use does not automatically cancel paid subscriptions unless explicitly requested.

8.2 By Asvara

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to some or all of our Services, including deactivating or deleting your account, at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we determine that:

• You have violated these Terms, our policies, applicable laws, or engaged in any activity that is abusive, fraudulent, unlawful, or harmful to others;
• Your use of the Services poses legal, reputational, operational, or security risks to Asvara, its users, or third parties;
• Your account has been inactive for more than 12 consecutive months and does not have an active paid subscription;

Suspension may be temporary or permanent and may result in loss of access to Content or stored data associated with your account. We recommend exporting any important information prior to discontinuing use.

9. Discontinuation of Services

Asvara is committed to delivering reliable and innovative legal AI solutions, but we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our Services—including specific features, tools, platforms, or the Services as a whole—at our sole discretion and at any time.

Where reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice of such discontinuation via email, in-app notification, or an announcement on our website.

If you are a paying subscriber and a discontinued Service affects a feature you have prepaid for, we will issue a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of that Service, in accordance with applicable law and our refund policies.

• Asvara shall not be held liable for any inconvenience, loss of data, or disruption resulting from the discontinuation of any Service, provided that reasonable notice and/or appropriate refund is given where required;
• You are responsible for backing up or exporting any important information or data associated with your use of the Services prior to such discontinuation.

This clause does not limit our rights to modify or update the Services as part of ongoing improvements or changes to our business model.
