Treasurechit Commercial Terms ("Commercial Terms”)
These Commercial Terms apply to access or use of the Treasurechit Products (or "Products"), for a business or commercial purpose (except where we state that separate terms, and not these Commercial Terms, apply to such access or use of a Treasurechit Product). Business or commercial purposes include using ads, selling products, developing apps, managing an account, managing a community for business purposes, or using our measurement services regardless of the entity type.
You agree that you will ensure that any third party on whose behalf you access or use any Treasurechit Product for any business or commercial purpose will abide by the applicable terms of use, including these Commercial Terms, the Treasurechit Terms of Service (“Terms”), and any applicable supplemental terms, and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that third party to such terms.
As more fully described below, if you reside in India or your business is located in India, these Commercial Terms require the resolution of most disputes between you and us by binding arbitration on an individual basis; class actions and jury trials are not permitted.
- Licenses: As described in “The permissions you give us” section in our Terms, you grant us a license to content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) you share, post, or upload on or in connection with our Treasurechit Products. For any access or use of the Treasurechit Products, that license applies to content you or someone on your behalf (such as your agency that places an ad for you or your service provider that manages your Page content for you) makes available on or in connection with any Treasurechit Product. You also will ensure that you own or have secured all rights necessary to grant the licenses and rights you (or someone on your behalf) grant to us under the Commercial Terms and any applicable supplemental terms, including permission to display, distribute and deliver your content within the Treasurechit Products.
- Compliance with Law: You represent and warrant that your access or use of the Treasurechit Products for business or commercial purposes complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You further represent that you will restrict access to your content and apps in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including geo-filtering or age-gating access where required. In addition to and without limiting the requirements about who can use the Treasurechit Products under our Terms, if you are located in a country that is subject to embargo under the laws of the India (or under similar laws applicable to you) you may not engage in commercial activities on the Treasurechit Products unless authorized by applicable laws. If you are on India's list of Specially Designated Nationals (or an equivalent list), you may not engage in commercial or business activities on the Treasurechit Products (such as advertising or payments). You also may not access or use the Treasurechit Products if you are prohibited from receiving products, services, or software under applicable law.
- Data Restrictions: You may not send us information prohibited by the supplemental terms or policies. In addition, you may not send to us, or use Treasurechit Products to collect from people, information that: (i) you know or reasonably should know is from or about children under the age of 13; or (ii) includes health, financial, biometrics, or other categories of similarly sensitive information (including any information defined as sensitive under applicable law); except in cases where (a) the terms for that Treasurechit Product specifically allow it or (b) you are sending financial information for the express purpose of effecting a financial transaction either with us or as enabled by a Treasurechit Product.
- Limits on Liability: In addition to and without limiting the scope of the “Limits on liability” section in our Terms, you agree that we are not responsible for the actions, services, content, or data of third parties and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties.
- You agree to waive Civil Code §, which says:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any access or use of the Treasurechit Products, the Terms (for any access or use of the Treasurechit Products for business or commercial purposes), or these Commercial Terms will not exceed the greater of one thousand rupees (1000) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.
6. Disputes:
- Third Party Claims: If anyone brings a claim, cause of action, or dispute against us related to your services, actions, content or information on Treasurechit or other Treasurechit Products or your use of any Treasurechit Products, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) related to any such claim, cause of action, or dispute.
- Commercial Claims: Sections 5.c and 5.d below apply to any claim, cause of action, or dispute that arises out of or relates to any access or use of the Treasurechit Products for business or commercial purposes (“Commercial Claim”) between you and Treasurechit.
- India Commercial Claims: If you reside in the India or your business is located in the India:
- You agree to arbitrate Commercial Claims between you and Treasurechit Platforms, Pvt. Ltd. This provision does not cover any commercial claims relating to violations of your or our intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, violations of the Brand Usage Guidelines, violations of your or our confidential information or trade secrets, or efforts to interfere with our Products or engage with our Products in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways). If a Commercial Claim between you and Treasurechit Platforms, Pvt. Ltd. is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the India District Court of Telangana or a state court located in Hyderabad, and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
- We and you agree that, by entering into this arbitration provision, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING COMMERCIAL CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. You may bring a Commercial Claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other parties. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Commercial Claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated according to the limitations of this Section 5.c, then only that Commercial Claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other Commercial Claims (or requests for relief) will remain subject to this Section 5.c. The National Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions. If any party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing. This notice of dispute to us must be sent to the following address: Treasurechit Platforms, Pvt. Ltd. 104/105, Surya Towers, 4th Floor, H-Block, Sardar Patel Rd, Secunderabad, Telangana 500003. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by these Commercial Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or the court will appoint a substitute. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations in which you are not a party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submissions made in arbitration will be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure. The arbitrator’s award will be maintained as confidential only to the extent necessary to protect either party’s trade secrets or proprietary business information or to comply with a legal requirement mandating confidentiality. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules, except that we will pay for your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your Commercial Claim for damages does not exceed Rupees 5,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you do not wish to be bound by this provision (including its waiver of class and representative claims), you must notify us as set forth below within 30 days of the first acceptance date of any version of these Commercial Terms containing an arbitration provision. Your notice to us under this Section 5.c must be submitted to the address here: Treasurechit Platforms, Pvt. Ltd. 104/105, Surya Towers, 4th Floor, H-Block, Sardar Patel Rd, Secunderabad, Telangana 500003. All Commercial Claims between us, whether subject to arbitration or not, will be governed by Telangana law, excluding Telangana’s conflict of laws rules, except to the extent that Telangana law is contrary to or preempted by National law. If a Commercial Claim between you and us is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the Telangana District Court for the District of Telangana or a state court located in Hyderabad, and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
- Commercial Claims outside the India: If you reside outside the India or your business is located outside the India, you agree that:

Ltd. must be resolved exclusively in the Indian District Court for the District of Telangana or a state court located in Hyderabad, that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and that the laws of the State of Telangana will govern these Commercial Terms and any such claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
