RefIndia Terms of Use

Agreement

These Terms of Use govern your use of RefIndia on Any modern browser (the “Software”), including its documentation and updates. By installing or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use it.

Who provides the Software

RefIndia is developed by RatioJuris and published by RatioJuris (“we”, “us”).

Licence and source code

The source code of RefIndia is available on GitHub under the MIT licence. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights that licence gives you. If these Terms and the licence conflict, the licence prevails for the source code and anything you build from it.

The Software is provided free of charge unless its store listing says otherwise.

Using the Software

• Use the Software lawfully, and in line with the rules of the platform and websites you use it with.
• Do not present modified versions as official releases, or use our names or logos in a way that suggests we endorse them.
• You are responsible for your own data, devices and backups.

Terms specific to RefIndia

Check every citation

RefIndia follows the published citation styles closely, but universities, journals and courts often have their own rules, and looked-up metadata can be incomplete or wrong. You are responsible for checking every citation before you submit or file it.

Not legal advice

RefIndia formats references. It does not give legal advice.

Citation styles

Citation styles are the work of the Citation Style Language project and are used under the CC BY-SA 3.0 licence. RefIndia is not affiliated with the Indian Law Institute, the University of Oxford, the American Psychological Association, the Modern Language Association, IEEE or the University of Chicago Press.

Stores, platforms and third parties

If you get the Software from an app store, such as Google Play, the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons or Microsoft AppSource, that store's terms also apply to your download. The Software may work with websites, services and platforms run by others. We do not control them, and their own terms and policies apply.

Privacy

How RefIndia handles information is explained in the RefIndia Privacy Policy.

Updates and availability

We may update, change, suspend or stop developing RefIndia or any feature at any time. Updates to operating systems, browsers, websites or other software may affect how it works.

No warranty

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not promise that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, business or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Software. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or any rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.

Ending these Terms

You can stop using the Software at any time by uninstalling it. These Terms end when you do. The sections on warranty, liability and governing law continue to apply after that.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The new version will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and every past version is preserved in the public revision history. If you keep using the Software after a change, the updated Terms apply.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in India. This does not take away the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the country where you live.

General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any applicable open-source licence are the entire agreement between you and us about the Software.
