Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-05-02 · Last updated: 2026-05-02

Read this. These Terms govern your use of OffCoder. By using the Service you agree to them. They are written to be plain, but they contain important provisions on liability limits, AI-output disclaimers, indemnification, governing law, and arbitration. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The agreement

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you", "your") and OffCoder ("OffCoder", "we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of the OffCoder mobile application, the website at offcoder.com, and any related products, APIs, content, and services we make available (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, downloading the App, or otherwise accessing the Service, you (a) accept these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Refund Policy, all of which are incorporated by reference; (b) represent that you are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater); and (c) confirm that, if you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other organization, you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

The Service is intended for users aged 18 and over who are not residing in or ordinarily resident in any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the Government of India (including any restriction notified by the Ministry of External Affairs or the Ministry of Home Affairs), the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or the United Kingdom. You may not use the Service if you appear on any sanctions, denied-persons, or designated-entity list maintained by any of those authorities (including, in India, the consolidated list maintained under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 and notifications under §51A thereof).

You may not use the Service if (a) you are an individual under 18 (or under the age of majority in your jurisdiction); (b) we have previously suspended or terminated your account; or (c) the law applicable to you prohibits your use.

3. Account registration and security

You must register an account to use most features. You agree to: (a) provide accurate and complete registration information; (b) keep your authentication credentials confidential; (c) promptly notify us at security@offcoder.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account; and (d) accept responsibility for all activity under your account, except where we receive timely notice from you under (c) and have a reasonable opportunity to act.

One person, one account. Sharing accounts is prohibited and may result in suspension. Programmatic creation of multiple accounts is also prohibited.

4. The Service

OffCoder is an AI-assisted mobile coding environment. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service.

The Service includes, among other things:

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Service at any time, including by altering plan limits, deprecating features, or changing model/runtime defaults. Material changes that adversely affect paid features will be notified to active subscribers by email at least 14 days before they take effect.

Pre-paid period — grandfather / refund. Where a change reduces a benefit or limit you have already pre-paid for (for example, a one-year plan whose monthly cloud-runtime cap is reduced four months in), we will, at our option: (a) grandfather the original benefit through the end of your current pre-paid period at no additional cost, or (b) offer a pro-rata refund of the affected portion of your pre-paid amount on the basis described in our Refund Policy. Changes taking effect at the start of your next renewal period are governed by the standard 14-day notice and the cancellation rules in §8.3.

5. AI-generated content — disclaimers

The Service generates code, suggestions, and chat responses using third-party large language models. The following important disclaimers apply, and your acceptance of these Terms includes specific acceptance of this Section 5.

  1. AI output is not advice. AI-generated text and code are produced statistically. They can be wrong, incomplete, or inappropriate for your situation. You must independently verify and test all AI output before relying on it for any production, commercial, security, financial, medical, legal, or safety-critical purpose.
  2. AI output is not warranted. We make no warranty that AI output is accurate, secure, free of bugs, free of bias, free of vulnerabilities, free of infringing material, or fit for any particular purpose.
  3. You are responsible for what you do with AI output. You — not OffCoder, not the AI provider — are responsible for reviewing, testing, and making the decision to use any AI output. We disclaim any duty of care arising from outcomes resulting from your use of AI output.
  4. Hallucinations. AI models can confidently produce false statements ("hallucinations"). Do not assume an AI output is true because it sounds authoritative.
  5. IP risk. AI models are trained on large corpora that may include copyrighted material. AI output may reproduce or closely paraphrase third-party intellectual property. We do not warrant that any AI output is original or non-infringing. You should treat AI-generated code as you would treat code from a public source — review for IP fitness before incorporating it into protected work.
  6. No professional advice. AI output does not constitute legal, financial, medical, accounting, engineering-safety, or other professional advice, even if it appears to. Engage a qualified professional for those.
  7. Provider behaviour. The AI providers we route to (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter) operate under their own terms of service and acceptable-use policies; their behaviour is outside our control. Provider outages, content-filter changes, model deprecations, and rate limits are passed through to you.

6. Your content

6.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights in the source code, project files, prompts, and other content you upload, create, or store in the Service ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

6.2 License you grant us

To deliver the Service, you grant OffCoder a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works of Your Content solely as necessary to operate the Service for you (e.g. running your code in a cloud-sandbox, forwarding a prompt to an AI provider, generating a hosted-service URL). This license terminates when you delete Your Content from the Service or close your account, except for the limited operational backups described in our Privacy Policy and tax-records that we are required by law to retain.

6.3 We do not train on Your Content

OffCoder itself does not use Your Content to train AI models. Where the AI provider exposes a content-not-for-training setting on their API, we have selected it on our master keys. AI providers may, however, retain prompts and outputs for a short trust-and-safety review period (typically 30 days) under their published baseline terms, and litigation holds may extend that retention for one or more providers — see Privacy Policy §4 and the AI provider table on our Sub-processors page for current particulars. We do not currently operate a Zero Data Retention agreement with any AI provider. For BYOK users, training and retention behaviour is governed by your account settings with the AI provider you have chosen.

6.4 Your warranties

You represent and warrant that: (a) you own Your Content or have all rights necessary to upload and process it through the Service; (b) Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights; (c) Your Content does not violate any law or our Acceptable Use Policy; and (d) any personal data of others contained in Your Content was lawfully obtained and you have authority to process it through the Service.

7. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service in compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination, content removal, and reporting to law-enforcement where appropriate. Examples of prohibited use include — without limitation — generating malware or phishing kits, surveilling specific individuals without their consent, generating CSAM or content that sexualizes minors, generating instructions for the manufacture of weapons or illegal drugs, evading the Service's safety filters or rate limits, and using the Service to impersonate, harass, or stalk others.

Copyright complaints. Notices of alleged copyright infringement, counter-notices, and our handling of repeat-infringer accounts are governed by our separate Copyright & DMCA Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

8. Plans, fees, and billing

8.1 Plans

The Service offers a free tier with limited features and one or more paid subscription tiers and one-time top-up credit packs. Plan features, limits, and prices are listed at offcoder.com/pricing and may be edited from time to time. Indian Rupee and US Dollar prices are set by us based on the user's location and may differ from a direct exchange-rate conversion. Your invoiced price will be the price displayed on the pricing page at the moment you complete checkout.

8.2 Payment processor

We use Razorpay for all paid transactions. By purchasing a paid plan or top-up, you also agree to Razorpay's terms of service and privacy policy. We do not receive or store your card number, UPI VPA, or banking credentials; those are handled by Razorpay.

8.3 Subscriptions, renewals, taxes

Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each paid period unless cancelled. We will attempt to charge the payment method on file. If the charge fails after reasonable retries, we will suspend the paid features and downgrade you to free until you update payment. The cancellation method, the timing and contents of our pre-renewal email reminder, and the graduated refund remedies for outages are described in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

All prices are stated exclusive of taxes. Applicable taxes (GST in India; VAT, sales tax, or other indirect taxes elsewhere) will be added at checkout based on the country of supply. For Indian users, GST is added at the prevailing rate (currently 18% on SaaS supplies, subject to change by the GST Council). Where you are required to deduct withholding tax (e.g. TDS) from payments to us under applicable law, you must do so and provide us a valid tax-deduction certificate (Form 16A or equivalent) within the statutory timeline. If you do not provide a valid tax-deduction certificate within that timeline — or if the certificate is rejected, cancelled, or invalidated by the tax authority — you agree to gross up the payment to OffCoder so that the amount we actually receive (after the deduction) is equal to the full invoiced amount; that gross-up is invoiceable as a separate item and is collectible as a debt due.

8.4 Top-up credits

Top-up credits are integer units, valid for use on the cloud-run, preview-link, and database-attach features described in your plan. Credits do not expire while your account is active and are non-transferable. Credits are not money and cannot be redeemed for cash. Once issued, credits are non-refundable except as required by applicable consumer law or the limited defect-only basis described in our Refund Policy.

8.5 Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is incorporated by reference. In short: cancel anytime, no pro-rata refund for partial subscription periods, top-ups are non-refundable, defect-only refund eligibility, manual review by our team.

8.6 Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment-card dispute on a charge that was correctly authorized and processed, you authorize us to suspend your account pending the dispute resolution and to recover from you any chargeback fees levied by the processor. We will respond to disputes with the documentation we are required to provide to the card scheme; please contact us first if you believe a charge was in error.

9. Third-party services

The Service interoperates with third-party products at your request, including AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter), Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), OAuth identity providers (Google, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, LinkedIn), Razorpay, and our hosting providers. Those services have their own terms; we are not responsible for their content, availability, behaviour, or pricing changes.

10. Intellectual property — OffCoder's rights

The Service, including the App, the Website, the OffCoder name and logo, the underlying source code, our APIs, our documentation, and the look-and-feel of the user interface, is and remains our property (or that of our licensors), protected by copyright, trade-mark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in our intellectual property except for the limited license to use the Service granted in Section 4. You may not (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service except to the extent permitted by law; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent permitted by law and only after written notice to us; (c) remove or obscure any proprietary notice; (d) use any data-mining, scraping, or extraction tool against the Service; or (e) use the Service to develop a competing product.

11. Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Service you confirm that you have read and understood it.

12. Suspension and termination

12.1 By you

You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, use the in-app delete flow (Settings → Danger zone → Delete account) or email support@offcoder.com. Active paid subscriptions are cancelled with Razorpay first; account-scoped data is then deleted in accordance with the deletion timeline in Privacy Policy §9.1 (in summary: 30-day soft-delete restoration window, hard delete from live systems on Day 30, encrypted-backup tail rolls off by approximately Day 60), except for records we are required to keep by law (described in the same Section).

12.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately and without prior notice if we have reason to believe (acting reasonably): (a) you have violated these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law; (b) your continued use poses a security or fraud risk to OffCoder, its users, or third parties; (c) your account has been compromised; (d) we are required to terminate by law or by a Court order; or (e) continuing to provide the Service to you would violate sanctions or export-control laws. Where the violation is curable and the circumstances allow, we will give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure before termination.

12.3 Effect of termination

On termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete or anonymize your data subject to our Privacy Policy retention rules. We will not refund pre-paid amounts on termination for cause. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18) survive.

13. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that defects will be corrected, that AI output will be accurate or appropriate, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  1. In no event will OffCoder, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, business interruption, or substitute service costs, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  2. Our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service, regardless of the form of action and whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us under these Terms in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) one hundred US Dollars (US$100) or the equivalent in your local currency.
  3. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law (including liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or — in jurisdictions that recognize such — liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence).
  4. The limitations in this Section 14 apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OffCoder, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content, including any allegation that Your Content infringes a third party's rights or violates law; (b) your breach of these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or any applicable law; (c) your use or misuse of any AI output produced via the Service; (d) your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights; or (e) any tax obligation that you fail to discharge.

We may, at our option, assume the defence of any matter for which we are entitled to indemnification; in that case you agree to cooperate and not to settle without our written consent.

16. Force majeure

Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform under these Terms (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, government action or emergency orders, war, civil unrest, internet outages, third-party infrastructure failures, sustained denial-of-service attacks, AI-provider outages, or sanctions.

17. Governing law and dispute resolution

17.1 Governing law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

17.2 Jurisdiction

Subject to Section 17.3, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India for any dispute that is not resolved by arbitration. (If, when OffCoder is formally registered as a legal entity, the registered office is in another Indian city, this clause will be updated to that city's courts.)

17.3 Arbitration

The parties agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms — including its breach, termination, or invalidity — shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties for a period of thirty (30) days. If unresolved, the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties; failing such agreement, an arbitrator appointed in accordance with that Act. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties.

17.4 Consumer rights preserved

If you are an Indian consumer using the Service for personal use within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act 2019, the arbitration clause in 17.3 does not deprive you of access to the consumer-redress mechanisms under that Act. Nothing in this Section 17 affects the mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under your local law.
