Effective date: 21 April 2026 · Truffaire Private Limited
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Truffaire Private Limited("Truffaire", "we", "our", or "us"), governing your access to and use of the ARCORAagricultural intelligence platform ("Service") at arcora.truffaire.in. By creating an account, purchasing credits, or using any part of the Service, you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ARCORA, you represent that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872; (c) if accessing the Service on behalf of an organisation (such as an FPO, cooperative, or institution), you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms; and (d) your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify registered users of material changes by email where reasonably practicable.
2. Description of Service
ARCORA is an AI-assisted agricultural intelligence platform that provides:
- Automated crop disease diagnosis and health assessment using computer vision and large language models
- Structured diagnostic reports including disease identification, severity assessment, and treatment recommendations
- Historical report storage and retrieval through a user dashboard
- Credit-based access to diagnostic scans under subscription plans (Scout, Cooperative, Alliance, Enterprise)
The Service is provided as a software-as-a-service ("SaaS") platform. Truffaire reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the Service in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice.
3. Account Registration and Eligibility
3.1 Registration
You must register for an account to access diagnostic features. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update it as necessary. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.2 Organisational Accounts
FPOs, cooperatives, and institutions using the Cooperative, Alliance, or Enterprise plan must designate an authorised representative who accepts these Terms on behalf of the organisation. The organisation is jointly and severally liable for all use of the Service under that account.
3.3 Account Security
You must immediately notify us at one@truffaire.in if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. Truffaire is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised account access where you have failed to maintain reasonable credential security or to promptly notify us of a suspected breach.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree that you will not:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract the source code, algorithms, or AI models underlying the Service
- Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the platform using automated means
- Upload images that contain personal data of individuals without their consent, obscene content, or material that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
- Attempt to circumvent credit limits, payment obligations, or access controls
- Use the Service to develop competing products or services
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any organisation
- Introduce malware, viruses, or any code designed to harm the platform or its users
- Resell or sublicense access to the Service without express written permission from Truffaire
Truffaire reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these acceptable use provisions, without notice and without refund of unused credits.
5. AI Diagnosis — Critical Disclaimer
The diagnostic outputs generated by ARCORA, including disease identifications, severity assessments, treatment recommendations, and economic impact estimates, are produced by artificial intelligence systems and are inherently probabilistic. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or inapplicable to your specific farm conditions.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- ARCORA diagnoses are for informational and decision-support purposes only and do not constitute certified agronomic advice
- You must independently verify any diagnosis and treatment recommendation with a qualified agronomist before applying chemicals, making crop management decisions, or taking any action that could affect your crop, soil, or livelihood
- You bear sole and exclusive responsibility for all crop management decisions made in reliance on or informed by ARCORA outputs
- Truffaire makes no warranty that ARCORA diagnoses are accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular farm condition, crop variety, soil type, or geographic region
- Agricultural outcomes depend on numerous factors beyond the scope of the Service, including weather, soil microbiome, pest pressure, and local agronomy — factors that ARCORA cannot fully account for
- Treatment product recommendations are illustrative only; always follow product label instructions, local pesticide regulations, and advice from a licensed agronomist
- Any crop loss, yield reduction, financial loss, or damage to land, livestock, or human health arising from reliance on ARCORA outputs is solely your risk and responsibility
