Terms and Conditions of Use

ADJ Utility Apps Private Limited (the "Company") operates a mobile application, "PassbookMax App" (the "App") available on Google Play Store and other similar platforms. These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern the use of or access to the App and the Services (as defined below).

These Terms constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between the Company and a User (as defined below) or any end user of the Services (collectively, "you"). You represent and warrant that you (a) have full legal capacity and authority to agree and bind yourself to these Terms, (b) are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older, and (c) are an Indian resident. If you represent an entity, organisation, or any other legal person, you confirm and represent that you have the necessary power and authority to bind such entity, organisation, or legal person to these Terms.

These Terms also include our Privacy Policy and any internal guidelines, supplementary terms, policies, or disclaimers made available or issued by us from time to time. By continuing to access or use the App, or any Service on the App, you signify your acceptance of the Terms. Further, you understand that the App is intended for the use of Indian residents only and by your continuing access and/or use of the App shall be construed as a deemed declaration that you are an Indian resident.

The Company reserves the right to make changes to these Terms by posting the new/updated version and your continued use and/or non-deletion of the App shall indicate your agreement to such changes. Accordingly, we encourage you to kindly continue to review the Terms whenever accessing or using the App so as to be abreast with the changes that we may be carrying out to these Terms.

By using the Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and are bound by these Terms, and that you comply with the requirements listed herein. If you do not agree to all of these Terms or comply with the requirements herein, please do not access the App or use the Services.

1. Services

The App provides Users with a read-only digital passbook that allows them to view their bank account transactions, balances and transaction history from multiple supported banks in one place ("Services"). Data is fetched securely via RBI-licensed Account Aggregators (AA) under the RBI Account Aggregator Master Direction, 2016 (as amended). The App does not facilitate any money transfer, payment initiation or any financial transaction of any kind. The App is not a banking product, payment product or financial service regulated by the RBI, SEBI or any other financial regulator and the Company does not hold any such license. For the purposes of this clause, Services would include any other future services the Company provides or proposes to provide.

2. Onboarding

• To avail the Services, a User will be required to create a profile on the App using his/her mobile number. The User warrants that all information furnished in connection with his/her profile is and shall remain accurate and true in all respects. The User further agrees and undertakes to promptly update his/her details on the App in the event of any change or modification of such details.
• The User is solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of his/her account and agrees to immediately notify the Company in writing at utilitylabs002@gmail.com of any disclosure or unauthorized use of his/her account or any other breach of security.
• The User expressly agrees to be liable and accountable for all activities that take place through his/her account in furtherance of the use of Services or otherwise. The Company expressly excludes any liability for any unauthorized access to a User's account.
• The User agrees to receive communications from the Company regarding: (i) information relating to the Services; (ii) information about the Company and the Services; (iii) promotional offers and services from the Company and its third party partners where consent has been provided; and (iv) any other matter in relation to the Services.

3. Bank Account Linking via Account Aggregator

• To use the Services, Users are required to link their bank accounts through the RBI-licensed Account Aggregator (AA) framework. This requires explicit, OTP-based consent given by the User through the AA.
• The User acknowledges that no net banking credentials, passwords or PINs are collected or stored by the Company at any point.
• The User acknowledges that the App is strictly read-only. No money transfer or payment can be initiated through the App.
• The User can revoke consent for data fetching at any time through the AA framework or through the respective AA's app or portal. Revoking consent will result in the App no longer being able to display updated data for the delinked account.
• The Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of the data fetched from banks via the AA framework. Bank data displayed in the App is as provided by the respective banks and the AA, and the Company shall not be liable for any discrepancy between the data shown in the App and actual bank records.
• Not all banks may be supported by the AA framework. The Company shall not be liable if a particular bank is not available for linking.
• Bank data consent granted via the AA framework may be time-bound and may require periodic renewal. The Company will notify the User when consent renewal is required.

4. Subscription and Payment

• Access to the Services requires a paid subscription. The applicable trial amount and subscription charges are as displayed in the App at the time of subscription and may be revised from time to time. Any revision in charges will be communicated to Users in advance.
• A nominal authentication amount is charged at the time of setting up the UPI Autopay mandate. This amount is refunded as per the refund timeline displayed in the App at the time of subscription. This charge is solely for the purpose of verifying the UPI Autopay setup and does not constitute a subscription charge.
• Subscription charges are collected via UPI Autopay. By setting up the autopay mandate, the User authorizes the recurring deduction of the applicable subscription amount from their linked UPI account at the frequency specified in the App.
• The User may cancel the subscription at any time by deactivating the UPI Autopay mandate through the UPI app used to set it up. Cancellation will take effect from the next billing cycle. The Company is not responsible for subscription amounts deducted in a billing cycle that has already commenced at the time of cancellation.
• The Company reserves the right to revise subscription pricing from time to time. Users will be notified of any such changes through the App or via communication before the revised charges take effect.
• All subscription charges are service charges for access to the PassbookMax App Service. The Company currently enables subscription payments via UPI Autopay through third-party payment service providers and is not itself a payment aggregator or payment gateway.
• Upon request, the Company will provide an invoice or payment confirmation for subscription charges paid. Users may reach out to utilitylabs002@gmail.com for the same.

All intellectual property rights in and to Third Party Services are the property of the respective third parties.
• The Company enables subscription payments via UPI Autopay through payment service provider (PSP) partners. The User should take care not to share their UPI PIN or OTP with any third party intentionally or unintentionally.
