Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms carefully. By using TrustScore™ services, you agree to these Terms.

Effective Date: February 14, 2026

1Service Description

1.1 TrustScore™ evaluates business digital credibility by analyzing publicly available information across five pillars (Digital Presence, Brand Identity, Customer Trust, Legal Compliance, Tech Modernization) for a maximum score of 700 points.

1.2 TrustScore™ measures digital credibility only — not business performance, product quality, or future viability. Scores are assessment tools, not guarantees.

2Eligibility

2.1 Services available to legally registered businesses and sole proprietorships. You must be 18+ years old with legal authority to bind the business.

2.2 We reserve the right to refuse evaluation to businesses engaged in illegal activities, fraud, hate speech, discrimination, violence, child exploitation, pyramid schemes, or intentional misinformation.

3Pricing & Payment

3.1 Pricing:

  • First verification: ₹49
  • Re-verification before 90 days: ₹299 (urgent update)
  • Re-verification after 90 days: ₹199 (standard)

3.2 All payments due upfront via credit/debit card, UPI, net banking, or approved payment methods. Prices in Indian Rupees (INR), exclusive of applicable taxes (GST).

3.3 We reserve the right to change pricing at any time. New prices apply to new purchases.

4Evaluation Process

4.1 Scores based solely on publicly available information at time of evaluation (websites, Google Business Profiles, social media, review platforms, government databases).

4.2 Reports delivered within 48 hours to email and WhatsApp provided at signup.

4.3 Scores may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged during re-verification based on current digital credibility status. We do not guarantee score improvement.

5Score Validity & Re-verification

5.1 Badges valid for 90 days from verification date. After 90 days, badge expires and displays "EXPIRED" status on verification page.

5.2 Re-verification required every 90 days minimum to maintain valid badge and public directory listing.

5.3 Re-verification Pricing:

  • Before 90 days: ₹299 (for urgent updates after major improvements or for loan/tender applications)
  • After 90 days: ₹199 (standard maintenance re-verification)

Minimum 60 days must pass between verifications.

6No Score Manipulation

6.1 Scores determined by objective evaluation. You cannot pay for higher scores. Attempts to manipulate evaluators result in permanent ban and legal action.

6.2 Our AI detects fake reviews, bought followers, stock photos passed as original work, and falsified certifications. Detected manipulation results in penalty points (50–150 point reductions) and notation in report.

6.3 Legitimate improvement (improving actual website quality, generating authentic reviews, enhancing legal compliance) is encouraged and not considered manipulation.

7Badge Usage Rights

7.1 You receive non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to display badge on your website, storefront, social media, marketing materials, business cards, and proposals.

7.2 Badge must not be altered (design, colors, score, date). Digital badges must link to your verification page.

7.3 Upon expiry (90 days), you must immediately remove badge from all locations. Displaying expired badge is fraudulent misrepresentation resulting in score invalidation and potential legal action.

8Public Directory

8.1 Businesses scoring 300+ automatically listed in public directory at trustscore.sevorse.com (you may opt out by emailing privacy@sevorse.com).

8.2 Directory includes business name, category, score, verification date, location, and brief description.

8.3 Removed from directory if badge expired, score dropped below 300, or you requested opt-out.

9Refund Policy

9.1 Full Refund Available If:

  • Evaluation not completed within 48 hours (excluding delays caused by you)
  • Payment error resulting in double charge
  • Cancellation within 2 hours of purchase AND evaluation not yet begun

9.2 No Refund After:

  • Report delivered to your email
  • 48 hours passed and evaluation in progress
  • You provided incorrect information requiring re-evaluation

9.3 Low score is NOT grounds for refund. Scores reflect objective reality. If you believe score is inaccurate due to data errors, dispute per Section 10 (not refund).

9.4 Refund Process: Email refunds@sevorse.com with Order ID, business name, and reason. Approved refunds processed within 7–10 business days to original payment method.

9.5 Chargebacks: Initiating chargeback without contacting us first results in immediate account suspension, badge invalidation, permanent ban, and chargeback fee (₹500 + processing costs).

10Dispute Resolution

10.1 If you believe your score is inaccurate due to outdated information, incorrect data interpretation, or technical error, email disputes@sevorse.com within 7 days with verification code and evidence.

10.2 We'll review within 5–7 business days and either uphold score (with explanation) or adjust score and issue updated report at no charge.

10.3 Our determination is final. Subjective opinions ("score lower than expected") are not valid dispute grounds.

11Disclaimers & Warranties

11.1 TrustScore™ provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee scores perfectly reflect business quality, predict success, or that third parties will accept scores.

11.2 TrustScore™ reports are informational only — not legal, financial, or business advice.

11.3 We rely on third-party data sources (Google, social media, government databases). We are not responsible for errors or delays in third-party data.

11.4 To maximum extent permitted by law, Sevorse's total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid (₹49–299). We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost opportunities, or damage to reputation.

12Intellectual Property
