Terms of use
Last updated
These terms are between you and Harsh Thakar, who runs SchemeClock. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you use it for a company or for clients, you confirm you are allowed to accept them on their behalf.
1. What SchemeClock does
It keeps a record of your models, your applications under BIS CRS, WPC ETA and TEC MTCTE and the stages they pass through, and the registrations you are granted with their expiry dates. It emails reminders before a registration expires.
2. What it does not do
- It is not legal or regulatory advice. It organises your records and reminds you of dates. It does not tell you which schemes apply to a model, what an authority requires, or whether a model meets any requirement.
- It does not submit anything to BIS, WPC, TEC or any other authority, or act on any government portal for you. Filing stays with you.
- Regulatory information can be incomplete. Where the service shows anything about how a scheme works, it marks what has not been confirmed against the authority's own published sources. Check anything that matters with the authority or your consultant.
3. Your dates are your responsibility
Reminders are calculated from the dates you enter, so they are only as right as those dates. Email can be delayed, filtered as spam or not delivered, and the service can be unavailable. Treat reminders as a backup: keep the grant and expiry dates from your registration in your own records, and do not rely on SchemeClock as the only way you learn of a deadline.
4. Price
SchemeClock is free to use during this early period. If paid plans are introduced, you will be told by email in advance, and nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.
5. Your account and your organisation
- Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done with your account.
- An organisation's owners decide who is invited and with which role, and are responsible for those choices.
- Only enter information you are entitled to use, including about clients if you are a consultant.
6. Your data
What you enter belongs to you or your organisation. We use it only to provide the service, as the privacy notice describes. You can ask for a copy of it, or for it to be deleted, at any time.
7. Fair use
Do not use the service to:
- break the law, or store information you have no right to hold;
- try to reach another organisation's records, or to get around any security measure;
- overload it with automated requests, or copy it at scale;
- resell access to it.
We may suspend an account that does any of these, and will tell you why.
8. Changes and availability
The service is new and will change as people use it. It may sometimes be unavailable, and features may be added, changed or removed. If we ever close it, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and a copy of your organisation's records on request.
9. Liability
The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for a missed or late renewal or filing, for any penalty, seizure, stoppage of sale or lost business that follows from one, or for any indirect loss. Our total liability for anything else is limited to what you paid for the service in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits a liability the law does not allow to be limited.
10. Ending
You can stop using the service at any time and ask us to delete your organisation's records. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes will be handled by the courts of India.
11. Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, we will email account holders before the change applies. Using the service after that means you accept the new terms.
