Terms of Service

AppSaaz Automated GST Invoice, by AppSaaz Labs · Last updated July 28, 2026

These terms govern your use of AppSaaz Automated GST Invoice ("the app", "we", "us"), a Shopify app that generates GST-compliant tax invoices, credit notes, debit notes, and GSTR-1/GSTR-3B return filing exports for Indian merchants. By installing the app you agree to these terms and to Shopify's own Merchant Terms of Service, which govern the underlying platform.

What the app does — and does not do

The app automates the mechanical work of GST document generation and return-export formatting based on the order, customer, and product data your Shopify store provides, and settings you configure (GSTIN, HSN codes, tax rates, numbering format).

Accounts and eligibility

You must be a Shopify merchant with a valid Shopify account to install this app, and you're responsible for keeping your store's connection to the app secure. You represent that any GSTIN, business name, and address you enter in Settings are accurate and that you have the authority to configure tax settings for the store.

Plans and billing

• The Free plan is the only plan, and it is fully functional at no charge: unlimited invoice, credit note and debit note generation, unlimited PDF downloads, report exports (CSV/PDF/XLSX), GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing exports, per-product HSN and GST rate mapping, automatic invoice emailing, every PDF layout, packing slips and shipping labels. No watermark, no footer, no usage limits.
• We charge nothing today and hold no payment details. If we introduce a paid tier in future, it will be billed and managed entirely through Shopify's own Billing API — card details would go to Shopify, never to us — and you would have to actively choose it. Nothing becomes chargeable automatically.
• Stores that install during our early-access period are recorded as permanently free at the time they install. If a paid tier is introduced later, those stores keep full access at no charge rather than losing features they already had.

Your data

You own the data you put into the app and the documents it generates for your store. We process it only as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. Generated invoices, credit notes, and debit notes are retained even after uninstalling or requesting data erasure, because Indian GST law requires merchants to keep these records for several years — see the Privacy Policy for the full explanation.

Data processing agreement

This section forms our data processing agreement (DPA) and applies whenever the app processes personal data of your customers on your behalf.

• Roles. For your customers' personal data, you are the data controller and we (AppSaaz Labs) act as your data processor. We process that data only on your documented instructions — namely, to provide the app's invoicing, credit/debit note, and GST return-export functionality — and for no independent purpose of our own. We never sell it, and never use it for marketing, advertising, analytics, or profiling.
• Subject matter and scope. The data processed is limited to what's needed to generate your GST documents: customer name, email, and shipping/billing address; customer GSTIN where provided; and order, product, and tax details. We do not request or process customer phone numbers or payment card data.
• Confidentiality. Access to personal data is restricted to personnel who need it to operate or support the app, and they are bound to keep it confidential.
• Security. We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest, encryption of sensitive credentials, and tenant isolation so one store's data is never exposed to another. See our Privacy Policy and Security practices for detail.
• Sub-processors. We use a limited set of sub-processors (currently our cloud host and, only if you enable customer emailing, our email provider), listed in the Privacy Policy. We remain responsible for their compliance and will give notice of material changes to that list.
• International transfer. Data is hosted on cloud infrastructure in the Singapore region, as disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
• Data-subject requests and breach. We assist you in responding to your customers' data-subject requests and to Shopify's mandatory privacy webhooks (data request, customer redact, shop redact), and we will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal-data breach affecting your data.
• Deletion. On uninstall we automatically delete your operational data as described in the Privacy Policy, except statutory tax records (invoices, credit notes, debit notes) that Indian GST law requires to be retained.
• Shopify terms. This DPA operates alongside Shopify's API License and Terms of Use and the Shopify Protected Customer Data requirements, which also govern how we access and handle this data.

Acceptable use

You agree not to: reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the app's source code beyond what Shopify's platform itself allows; use the app to generate fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate tax documents; interfere with the app's operation or attempt to bypass plan limits through technical means; or use the app in a way that violates Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy or applicable law.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that generated documents or filing exports are error-free, complete, or accepted by the GST portal or any tax authority — you are responsible for verifying them before relying on them for compliance or filing purposes.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any penalties, interest, or losses arising from inaccurate GST filings, missed deadlines, or reliance on documents generated by the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim arose (which is $0 on the Free plan).

Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it from your Shopify admin. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms, misuse the app, or fail to pay for a subscribed plan. On uninstall, operational data is deleted automatically per our Privacy Policy; statutory tax records are retained as required by law.

Changes to these terms

We'll update the "Last updated" date above whenever these terms change. For any change that materially affects your rights or obligations, we'll email connected merchants at their Shopify-registered account email at least 14 days before the change takes effect.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer or data-protection rights you may have under the law of your own country.
