Terms of Use

Version 1.2 · Last updated: 12 July 2026

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and ArthPulse (“ArthPulse”, “we”, “us”), operated by ArthPulse Labs, a sole proprietorship based in India that provides the ArthPulse personal-finance app and website. By creating an account or using ArthPulse, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use ArthPulse.

2. Eligibility — you must be 18 or older

ArthPulse is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old. By using ArthPulse you confirm that you are 18 or older. We ask for your date of birth at sign-up and do not allow registration by anyone under 18.

3. What ArthPulse does

ArthPulse reads the bank, card and UPI transaction-alert messages (SMS) on your device and turns them into a categorised record of your spending, with dashboards and insights. To do this, ArthPulse needs your permission to read SMS; how we handle that data is described in our Privacy Policy.

ArthPulse is an informational tool, not a bank or a financial adviser. We explain the important limits of the service in §7 and §8.

4. Your account

5. Your responsibilities

When using ArthPulse, you agree to:

(The duties above reflect the duties of a Data Principal under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and our acceptable-use rules.)

6. Your data and privacy

Your use of ArthPulse involves the processing of your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. We treat your personal data as confidential and do not disclose it except as described in the Privacy Policy or as required by law. You own your transaction data; we hold and process it to provide the service.

7. Accuracy — the service is provided “as is”

ArthPulse reads messages and uses automated AI models to interpret them. This process is not perfect: messages can be missed, mis-read, mis-categorised or duplicated, and the models are not deterministic. ArthPulse is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the transaction data, balances, categories or insights are complete or accurate.

You should always treat your bank's own statements and records as the authoritative source of truth about your money. Please review and correct your transactions in the app; corrections help the service improve.

8. Not financial advice

ArthPulse provides information about your own transactions for your personal money-management. It does not provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and nothing in the app should be relied on as such. Decisions you make based on ArthPulse are your own responsibility.

9. Third-party services

ArthPulse relies on your mobile network's SMS delivery, your device, and the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy (hosting, email, business-name lookup). We are not responsible for the acts, failures or availability of these third parties, or for the accuracy of the original messages sent to you by your bank or others.

10. Intellectual property

The ArthPulse app, website, branding, and software are owned by us and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use ArthPulse for your own money-management. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the app except as allowed by law. Your own personal data remains yours.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ArthPulse and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, or for any loss arising from your reliance on the accuracy or availability of the service. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Indian law.

12. Suspension and termination

13. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, at our discretion, to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal and regulatory requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the version above, and the changes take effect when the updated Terms are posted. Your continued use of ArthPulse after an update means you accept the updated Terms. We apply the same approach to our Privacy Policy.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any rights you have under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (including the grievance process below and recourse to the Data Protection Board of India), the courts at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh shall have jurisdiction over any dispute.

15. Grievances and contact

For any complaint or question about these Terms or your data, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the period required by law (no later than 90 days).
