Terms of Service

By accessing or using any ProofChain product — including ProofScript, ProofBooks, ProofSound, ProofLegal, and ProofVerify — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use our services.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ProofChain Pvt. Ltd. ("ProofChain", "we", "us", or "our").

ProofChain provides blockchain-anchored timestamp verification services. When you upload a file, a cryptographic hash (SHA-256) is generated locally on your device and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via the OpenTimestamps protocol.

Important: Our service creates evidence of when a file existed at a specific point in time. It is NOT copyright registration and does not constitute legal proof of ownership or authorship.

ProofChain certificates may be used as supporting evidence in legal or professional disputes. We recommend consulting a legal professional for matters relating to copyright protection and intellectual property.

Payments are processed securely through Razorpay. All prices are listed in Indian Rupees (INR) and include applicable taxes.

No refunds are provided. Before completing payment, you are given the opportunity to preview your certificate free of charge. This preview ensures you know exactly what you are paying for.

Credit bundles, where available, are non-refundable but do not expire. Subscription cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.

ProofChain offers AI-powered analysis services ("ProofIntelligence") across its products. These services process user-submitted text through third-party AI models, including but not limited to Anthropic Claude and OpenAI.

• Your submitted text is sent to third-party AI providers for processing. These providers do not store your text beyond the duration of the request.
• Analysis results (scores, insights, Cinema DNA, market positioning) are stored in your account and may be used to improve the service.
• AI-generated outputs are for informational and entertainment purposes only. They do not constitute professional screenplay, literary, legal, or financial advice.
• Analysis accuracy is not guaranteed. Scores and insights reflect AI interpretation and may not align with industry professional opinions.
• Free analysis is available without creating an account. Pro (₹999) and Premium (₹2,499) tiers require payment through Razorpay before results are delivered.

ProofChain offers free AI-powered entertainment tools ("AI Script Lab" or "Viral Tools") including Roast My Script, Dream Cast, Box Office Predictor, Writing DNA, and OTT Fit Score.

• These tools process user-submitted text through third-party AI models to generate entertainment-oriented results.
• Results may be shared publicly via generated links. Shared results are viewable by anyone with the link and may appear on public showcase pages.
• Results are cached for up to 1 hour. Identical submissions within this window return the same cached result.
• AI Script Lab is provided free of charge with no account required. ProofChain reserves the right to modify, limit, or discontinue these tools at any time.

ProofChain operates a marketplace where creators can list their protected works for discovery by industry professionals (producers, studios, publishers, and OTT platforms).

• Only works with confirmed blockchain protection can be listed on the marketplace.
• Listing metadata (title, genre, language, AI scores) is visible to all logged-in users. Full content is never uploaded to our servers.
• Industry professionals may request time-limited read access to listed works. Creators approve or decline these requests at their discretion.
• ProofChain does not mediate transactions, negotiations, or disputes between creators and industry professionals. We are a discovery platform, not a talent agency or rights marketplace.
• Public writer profiles display the creator's name, portfolio, AI analysis scores, and protection history. Creators can control their profile visibility in settings.

In addition to Bitcoin blockchain anchoring via OpenTimestamps, ProofChain may submit proof hashes to a certified RFC 3161 Time Stamping Authority (TSA) for dual-layer protection.

• TSA submission is provided on a best-effort basis. Failure of TSA submission does not invalidate the Bitcoin blockchain anchor and does not constitute a service failure.
• TSA tokens are stored alongside blockchain proofs and included in protection certificates where available.
• Certificates reference compliance with Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA) for electronic record admissibility. TSA timestamps may additionally support admissibility under Section 85B of BSA 2023.

You retain all ownership of your files and creative works. ProofChain does not claim any ownership of content you protect using our services.

Your files are hashed locally on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. Only the cryptographic hash is transmitted and stored.

The ProofChain platform, branding, logo, and underlying technology are the intellectual property of ProofChain Pvt. Ltd. and may not be reproduced without written permission.

ProofChain provides timestamp verification services "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied.

We are not responsible for the legal enforceability of blockchain timestamps in any specific jurisdiction. The admissibility of electronic evidence varies by court and jurisdiction.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from the use of our services is limited to the amount you paid for the specific service in question.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services.

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Maintenance windows may be required and will be communicated in advance when possible.

Blockchain confirmation times depend on the Bitcoin network and are outside our control. Typical confirmation takes 1-24 hours.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may delete your account at any time by contacting support@proofchain.in.

Upon termination, your existing blockchain timestamps remain valid and independently verifiable on the Bitcoin blockchain. Blockchain records are immutable and cannot be deleted by any party.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

We may update these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

Continued use of our services after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in India.

The provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its amendments, including the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, apply to the use of our services.
