About this document. Anchora is currently operated by Vigneshwaran BS as a sole founder based in Chennai, India. Formal company setup is in progress. These Terms therefore apply between you and the operator personally; once company registration completes, registered users will be notified of any transfer of the Service to the registered entity.
By accessing or using the Anchora website, dashboard, APIs, SDKs, documentation, or any related material (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Service. Your continued use of the Service following any updates to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Anchora is a cryptographic audit-trail API. The Service allows you to anchor cryptographic fingerprints (SHA-256 hashes) of records to public or permissioned blockchain networks, and to verify those records later. Specifically, the Service includes:
@anchora/sdkAnchora is currently in an early-stage release. Features, endpoints, and pricing may change as the platform evolves.
To use the Service you must create an account and generate API keys. By doing so you agree to:
We may suspend or revoke API keys that we reasonably believe have been compromised, abused, or used in violation of these Terms.
You agree to use the Service lawfully. You shall not:
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access without prior notice if we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.
Anchora is in an early stage of development. The Service is provided on a “best effort” basis. You acknowledge that:
You should not rely on the Service as the sole mechanism for mission-critical operations without independent backup or contingency measures.
The Service is currently offered free of charge while Anchora is in pre-launch. We may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, registered users will receive at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice before any charges become payable, and will have the option to discontinue use of the Service before fees apply.
If you exceed any rate limits or usage quotas applicable to the free tier, requests may be throttled or rejected with appropriate HTTP status codes.
The Service — including all software, APIs, SDKs, documentation, brand marks, and content — is owned by the operator. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Service.
Your data. You retain all rights, title, and interest in the records and data you submit to the Service. By using the Service, you grant Anchora a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.
Feedback. If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant Anchora a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use that feedback to improve the Service, without obligation or compensation to you.
Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Key points:
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all such warranties.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against all threats, or that any defects will be corrected. Reliance on the Service is at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the operator or any affiliated person be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill — arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.
The aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you have paid for the Service during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) Indian Rupees one thousand (INR 1,000).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You may stop using the Service at any time by closing your account through the dashboard or by contacting us.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including for breach of these Terms, non-payment of fees (once paid plans are active), prolonged inactivity, or in response to legal or regulatory requirements.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. We will make reasonable efforts to allow you to export your data before deletion. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law — shall continue to apply.
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to the arbitration provision below, the courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service.
Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith through written correspondence. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may refer the matter to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The arbitration shall be conducted in Chennai, in English, by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed by the parties. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on the parties.
Nothing in these Terms shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for matters involving intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, or unauthorised access to the Service.
