Terms of use

There is no checkout here, no account, no licence to activate and no support desk. Nothing on arhas.in is an offer to sell you anything. It is a set of pages that describe what Arhas builds, how we build it, and what we refuse to claim.

So these terms are short, and they are honest about their own reach:

• Read the site, quote the site, link to the site. All of that is fine and it is what the site is for.
• Do not attack it, and do not misrepresent us with it. Section 04 says what that means.
• If you bought a product, these are not the terms you are looking for. The terms you agreed to are on that product’s own site, and nothing here changes them.

“Arhas”, “we” and “us” mean the company that publishes this website and builds BRUTAL Optimizer, MedOS and LabOS. That company’s registered name, registered office and identification number are being confirmed against the certificate of incorporation, and until they are, we print a pending marker rather than a plausible-looking name. Section 09 has the detail, and an explanation of why it is there.

By using arhas.in you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site. Nothing here requires an account, so leaving costs you nothing — which is the correct amount for a page you did not agree with.

Every purchase, subscription, licence, trial, renewal, refund and service commitment lives under the terms published on that product’s own site. Pricing, billing, cancellation, data export, support scope, service levels: all of it is there, and none of it is here.

Nothing on arhas.in varies those terms, and nothing on arhas.in is an offer. If a description on this site and a product’s own documentation ever disagree, the product’s documentation is the one that governs — it is closer to the code, and the code is what actually runs.

When you use this website, you agree not to:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the systems that serve it, or any account or network connected to it;
• interfere with the site or degrade it for other people — including by automated traffic heavy enough to do so;
• introduce anything malicious, or attempt to circumvent a security control (testing us in good faith is a different thing, and it is welcome — the route for that is on our trust page);
• use our name, marks or content to imply an endorsement, partnership, affiliation or certification that does not exist; or
• reproduce this site, or a substantial part of it, as your own.

Quoting us is not on that list, and it never will be. We publish a press kit precisely so that a journalist, a competitor or a buyer can take our numbers and check them. Every figure in it carries the file it was counted from. Quote them with their source attached, which is the same thing we ask of ourselves.

The names and logos Arhas, BRUTAL Optimizer, MedOS and LabOS, and the text, layout, design and source of this website, belong to us unless something on the page credits somebody else. You may not use our marks as your own, or in a way that suggests we stand behind a product or a claim that we do not.

The names that are not ours matter more. Where a third party’s name appears anywhere on this site or in our products — an analyzer manufacturer in the LabOS instrument library, a payment provider, an infrastructure vendor — that name belongs to its owner, and its appearance means one thing only: our software works with theirs. It is a compatibility statement. It is not a partnership, not a customer relationship, and not an endorsement of us by them. We say that here, in the terms, because dressing a compatibility list up as a customer list is one of the most common lies in enterprise software and we intend to be held to not telling it.

Reference use of our logos and wordmarks — in an article, a review, a comparison or a slide, unmodified and not implying endorsement — needs no permission from us. The assets are on the press page for exactly that purpose.

The figures on this site are counted out of shipping code and printed with the file they came from. We hold ourselves to that harder than anyone is likely to hold us to it. It still makes them information, not advice, and not a guarantee of a result on your machine, in your clinic or in your laboratory.

Software changes. A number that was true of a build in July may be true of a different number of modules by December. Where this site and a product’s own documentation disagree, the product’s documentation governs.

The site itself is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be available without interruption or free of error, and we publish no uptime figure for it, because we do not measure one — which is the same reason you will not find one anywhere else on this domain.

If you find a claim on this site that you cannot check, or one that is wrong, tell us. We would rather delete a sentence than defend one.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website — lost profit, lost data, lost opportunity, or loss arising from a decision you took on the basis of a page here rather than on the basis of the product itself.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. And nothing here caps a liability that arises under a product’s own terms: if you bought something, that contract stands on its own and this page does not shrink it.

This site links out — to brutaloptimizer.com, med-os.in and lms.med-os.in, and occasionally elsewhere. We choose what we link to. We do not control what sits at the other end afterwards, and a link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination.

We may change these terms. The date at the top of this document is the version you are reading, and a material change gets a note saying what changed rather than a quietly bumped date. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the changed terms.

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of arhas.in, are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Hyderabad, Telangana, India have exclusive jurisdiction.

Our privacy policy covers the other half: what this site collects, which is nothing, and where your data actually lives if it is in one of our products.

A legal document needs a party: a registered name, a registered office, and a mailbox that answers. Ours have not been checked against the certificate of incorporation, and no mailbox on this domain is monitored yet. So they are not printed here.
