Before you read the legalese: Citare is an AI visibility service, not a guarantee. We help your business become more visible to AI search engines. We cannot guarantee that any specific AI model will cite you. Subscriptions renew monthly. You own your business data. We own the generated assets while your subscription is active.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing citare.in, registering for an account, or using any Citare service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Customer”, “you”) and Ravi, trading as Citare (“Citare”, “we”, “us”).

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. If you do not accept these Terms, do not use Citare.

2. Description of Service

Citare provides software tools to help local Indian businesses improve their citation visibility in AI-generated search responses. Our service includes:

3. Subscription and Billing

3.1 Subscription Plans

Citare offers multiple subscription plans as described on citare.in/pricing (when available). Each subscription covers a single business location unless otherwise specified. Subscriptions are billed in Indian Rupees (INR).

3.2 Auto-Renewal

All subscriptions are monthly and auto-renewing. Your subscription automatically renews on the same date each month unless you cancel before the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorise Citare to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis via Razorpay.

3.3 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' written notice to your registered email address. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price.

3.4 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will attempt to retry the charge. If payment is not received within 7 days of the due date, your subscription may be suspended. Data is retained for 90 days after suspension before permanent deletion.

4. Refund Policy

Summary: 7-day refund for first-time subscribers if no assets have been generated yet. No refund after assets are delivered.

4.1 First-Time Subscriber Refund

If you are subscribing to Citare for the first time and no content assets have been generated or delivered for your business, you may request a full refund within 7 days of your initial subscription date. To request a refund, email ravi@citare.in with the subject line "Refund Request" within this window.

4.2 No Refund After Asset Delivery

Once Citare has generated and delivered content assets for your business (including any of: llms.txt file, JSON-LD schema, AI Profile Page, or first visibility report), no refund will be provided for that billing period. This applies regardless of whether you have reviewed or used the delivered assets.

4.3 Renewal Billing

Refunds are not available for renewal billing periods. If you do not wish to renew, you must cancel your subscription before the renewal date.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard or by emailing ravi@citare.in. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to the service until then.

5. AI Citations — No Guarantee

Important: Citare improves the probability that AI search engines will cite your business. We do not and cannot guarantee any specific citation outcome. AI model responses are probabilistic and outside our control.

Citare's service is designed to increase the likelihood that AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and others) will cite your business in relevant queries. However:

Citare makes no warranties, express or implied, that use of the service will result in any specific number of AI citations, increased business enquiries, or revenue growth.

6. Data Ownership

6.1 Your Business Data

You retain full ownership of all business data you provide to Citare, including your business name, address, services, photos, and any other information about your business. You grant Citare a limited licence to process this data solely for the purpose of providing the service.

6.2 Generated Assets

Content assets generated by Citare using your business data (including llms.txt files, JSON-LD schema, AI Profile Pages, and report content) are owned by Citare during the period your subscription is active. Upon cancellation of your subscription, you lose the right to use these assets and they will be deleted after the 90-day retention period.

You may export your data and assets at any time while your subscription is active by requesting an export via the dashboard or by emailing ravi@citare.in.

6.3 Aggregate & Anonymised Data
