Introduction
BlupX Private Limited, (“Blup,” “Company,” “us,” or “we”), provides blup.in and the other websites under the blup.in domain (collectively, the “Sites”), and our SaaS product, design-to-app software, tools, and related services (together with the Applications, the “Service”) subject to your compliance with all the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein (the “Terms of Service” or the “Agreement”).
We've tried hard to keep this Agreement as readable and straightforward as possible. We’ve also added a series of short explanations of the legal language in plain English (they all start with "Basically...") to aid in understanding, but that part isn’t legally binding. If you have suggestions that can help us improve it or any questions about this Agreement, please email us and let us know. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us. Except as noted otherwise below, this Agreement is the entire Agreement between us. By using the Sites and the Service in any way, you are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Service, and any other legal notices or conditions or guidelines posted on the Sites.

Rules
Your obligations to End Users
Roles
Blup is a “service provider” to you, and you are a “customer” of our Services irrespective of whether you pay fees to obtain the Services. Any natural persons accessing or using your Blup account, the websites, pages, features, or content created by you on our Services are deemed your “End Users.” Blup does not have a direct relationship with any of your End Users, therefore Blup is not responsible for how you handle End User information.
Applicable laws
You may have additional obligations under local law other than those described in this Terms of Service, particularly if you or your End Users are located outside of India. Such obligations may be more restrictive than this Terms of Service. Use of the Services does not ensure compliance with such laws, nor is Blup responsible for your compliance with such laws. To the extent Blup has any obligations to assist you with handling End User information, such obligations are enumerated within a Data Processing Agreement executed between Blup and you.
Security safeguards
You will use all reasonable efforts to protect information collected from End Users via your use of the Services, including any personal information obtained from unauthorized access or use. In the event you discover that the End User information collected by you has been breached, compromised, or inadvertently exposed to non-authorized third parties, you shall notify Blup promptly of such a breach or exposure including the root cause, remediation steps, and compensating controls to ensure such a breach does not occur in the future.

For clarity, you are directly responsible (or, the “data controller”) for the information processed by your use of the Services, including any information processed via third-party applications available on the Services.

Dispute resolution
Informal negotiations: To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Blup agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Blup. Blup’s address for such notices is BlupX Private Limited, K 76, Ganga Nagar, Mawana Road, Meerut, India 250001.
Binding arbitration: If you and Blup are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the THE ARBITRATION AND CONCILIATION ACT, 1996 at www.indiacode.nic.in and, where appropriate, the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 at http://ncdrc.nic.in/ . Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the ARBITRATION AND CONCILIATION ACT, 1996 Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the Consumer Protection Act, 1986). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Blup will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose . The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party.
The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Blup may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Exceptions to alternative dispute resolution. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a Court of New Delhi located within the New Delhi, India with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.
Waiver of right to be a plaintiff or class member in a purported class action or representative proceeding. You and Blup agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Blup and you individually. You acknowledge and agree that you and blup are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Blup otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” Section will be deemed null and void.
Location of arbitration: Arbitration will take place in New Delhi, India. You and Blup agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Court of New Delhi located in New Delhi, India have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Blup agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
