Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing, or using BillSnap, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not install or use BillSnap.

These terms apply to the BillSnap desktop application and this website (billsnap.vercel.app).

2. What BillSnap is

BillSnap is a free, offline desktop application for Windows that allows small shop owners to create invoices, manage inventory, and generate reports. It runs entirely on the user's own PC with no internet connection required and no external server involvement.

3. License to use

BillSnap is open-source software released under the MIT License. The full license text is available at github.com/iAdityaSharma2912/billsnap/blob/main/LICENSE.

In plain terms, the MIT License means:

• You can use BillSnap for any purpose, including commercial use
• You can copy, modify, and distribute BillSnap
• You can use BillSnap in your own software
• The only requirement is that you keep the MIT License notice intact in any copies or derivative works

You do not need to ask permission to install BillSnap on multiple PCs, use it across multiple shops, or modify it for your own needs.

4. Your data and content

You own all data you enter into BillSnap. Customer records, invoices, inventory items, company settings — all of it is yours. It is stored locally on your PC at %APPDATA%\BillSnap\ and is never transmitted to us or any third party.

We make no claim over any data you create using BillSnap. We have no ability to access your data, and we accept no responsibility for data loss resulting from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or other events on your own PC. We strongly recommend using BillSnap's built-in Backup feature regularly.

You may use BillSnap to:

• Create and manage invoices for your shop or business
• Track inventory and manage customer records
• Generate and print PDF bills
• View sales reports and export data
• Install BillSnap on multiple PCs across multiple shop locations
• Modify the source code for your own use under the MIT License
• Share BillSnap with others (link to the official website or GitHub)

6. Prohibited use

You may not use BillSnap to:

• Create fraudulent invoices or misrepresent transactions
• Generate invoices for goods or services that do not exist (fictitious billing)

7. Disclaimer of warranties

BillSnap is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

We make no warranties that:

• BillSnap will be error-free or uninterrupted
• BillSnap will meet your specific requirements
• Any errors will be corrected
• BillSnap's output (invoices, reports, exports) will be accepted by any tax authority, bank, or regulatory body

BillSnap generates Cash Memo / Delivery Challan format invoices. It does not currently generate GST Tax Invoices with GSTIN and HSN codes. You are responsible for determining whether BillSnap's output meets your legal and regulatory obligations.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the BillSnap developers shall not be liable for any:

• Loss of data resulting from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or software bugs
• Financial loss arising from errors in invoices generated by BillSnap
• Tax penalties or compliance issues arising from use of BillSnap
• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages of any kind

Your use of BillSnap is entirely at your own risk. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of all invoices before printing or sharing them, and for maintaining backups of your own data.

9. Updates and changes

We may update BillSnap from time to time. Updates are distributed as new installer versions on the GitHub Releases page. There is no automatic update mechanism — you choose when to install a new version. Older versions will continue to work as long as your Windows PC supports them.

We may update these Terms of Use. Material changes will be noted in the GitHub repository's release notes. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Delhi, India.
