3. Description of Services

VADA, through its Driskover platform and CaseRadar product, provides on-demand counterparty litigation intelligence services.

The Services currently cover publicly available records from District Courts, High Courts, the Supreme Court of India, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) and Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT), and Consumer Forums from national to district levels. Coverage scope is subject to change without notice.

VADA reserves the right to suspend or terminate access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including suspected breach of these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, design elements, software, data compilations, methodology, and reports (collectively "VADA Content"), is and shall remain the exclusive property of V A D A Business Services Private Limited or its licensors. Driskover™ is a trademark of V A D A Business Services Private Limited.

No right, title, or interest in any VADA Content is transferred to you by virtue of accessing the Services or receiving a report. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use VADA Content solely for your own internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms.

The underlying court and tribunal records referenced in VADA reports are publicly available government records. VADA's intellectual property subsists in the aggregation, structure, analysis, methodology, risk indexing, and presentation of such records, which is proprietary. You shall not attempt to reconstruct or replicate VADA's methodology.

This communication, any report, and all attachments thereto are confidential and may be privileged. Any unauthorised use, disclosure, copying, or distribution is strictly prohibited. All intellectual property herein is owned or licensed by V A D A Business Services Private Limited and/or its affiliates ("VADA"), and no rights are granted without prior written consent.

7. Fees, Payment, and Cancellation

Fees for the Services shall be as communicated by VADA from time to time through the platform, a quote, or a separate engagement letter. All fees are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST) unless expressly stated otherwise. Payment terms shall be as specified in the applicable quote or invoice.

Once a report request has been accepted and processing has commenced, fees are non-refundable, as the service constitutes the labour and proprietary methodology applied — not merely the delivery of an output. Cancellation of a request after processing has commenced will not entitle the Client to a refund.

VADA reserves the right to modify its fee structure at any time. Changes will not apply to reports already paid for and in progress.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

8.1 No Warranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, VADA disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and non-infringement, with respect to the Services, website, and all reports and outputs provided. The Services and all outputs are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

8.2 Source Limitations. VADA's reports are based on publicly available records as indexed by and accessible through official and public databases. VADA does not warrant that such databases are complete, accurate, current, or free from error. Court and tribunal records may be unavailable, inaccurate, delayed, or not yet digitised. VADA makes no representation that its reports capture every case or proceeding involving any counterparty.

8.3 Not a Substitute for Independent Advice. VADA's reports are inputs to your decision-making process and must not be used as the sole or determinative basis for any lending, investment, acquisition, legal, or other decision. You are independently responsible for verification, legal advice, and compliance with applicable law and regulatory requirements.

8.4 Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, VADA's aggregate total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the Services shall be strictly limited to the fees actually paid by you to VADA for the specific report or engagement that is the direct subject of the claim, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

8.5 Exclusion of Consequential Loss. In no event shall VADA, its directors, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or cost of substitute services, even if VADA has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This exclusion applies regardless of the legal theory under which such damages are claimed.

8.6 Third-Party Reliance. Reports and outputs are prepared for the sole and exclusive use of the commissioning Client. VADA accepts no liability to any third party who may access, receive, or rely upon any report or output. If you share a report with any third party, such third party does so entirely at their own risk, and VADA shall have no liability to such third party.

8.7 No Liability for Decisions. VADA shall not be liable for any decision taken by you or any third party in reliance on, or as a result of, any report, output, or communication from VADA, regardless of whether such decision results in loss, damage, or liability.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless V A D A Business Services Private Limited and its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and successors from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your use of the Services; (c) any misuse of a VADA report by you or any third party to whom you have disclosed it; (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; or (e) any inaccuracy in information you provided to VADA.

10. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential the other's proprietary and non-public information. You shall treat all VADA reports, pricing, methodology, and any non-public information shared in the course of the Services as confidential and shall not disclose the same to any third party without VADA's prior written consent, except as required by law or regulatory mandate. This obligation survives termination of these Terms.

11. Data Protection

VADA's collection, processing, and use of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy and the applicable provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"). By using the Services, you consent to such processing as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Third-Party Links and Content

This website may contain links to third-party websites or reference third-party sources. VADA does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, website, or service. Access to any linked website is entirely at your own risk.

13. Modifications to Terms and Services

VADA reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on this website. Your continued use of the Services after any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. VADA also reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without liability.

14. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you access or use the Services. VADA may terminate your access immediately and without notice if you breach any provision of these Terms or if VADA determines, in its sole discretion, that such termination is necessary or appropriate. Upon termination, all licences granted to you cease immediately. Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 16 survive termination.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in New Delhi. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties. The language of arbitration shall be English.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, VADA reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or to prevent irreparable harm, without waiving the right to arbitration.

For all matters not subject to arbitration, you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at New Delhi, India.

16. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and VADA with respect to the Services and supersede all prior representations, understandings, and agreements.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver: VADA's failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of its right to do so subsequently.

No Binding Obligation: Nothing in this website, any communication, or any report constitutes a binding obligation on VADA unless expressly agreed in writing by an authorised representative of V A D A Business Services Private Limited.

Force Majeure: VADA shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemic, government action, internet or infrastructure failure, or court system downtime.
