3. Acceptable Use Policy

✅ Intended Use — Personal Learning & Skill Development Only

Oppex is an AI coding copilot designed exclusively for individual learning, algorithm practice, and personal skill development. It is intended to help developers and students understand complex logic, debug code, and improve programming competencies independently. The Platform is strictly NOT designed, licensed, or endorsed for use during any active, live, or proctored examinations, institutional tests, academic assessments, hiring assessments, or live employment interviews. Users who deploy Oppex in unauthorized examination or assessment settings do so in direct violation of these Terms and entirely at their own legal and academic risk.

The following uses are STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

  • (a) Using the Platform during any active, live, or proctored examination, academic test, institutional evaluation, formal hiring assessment, or live employment interview of any kind;
  • (b) Submitting assessment content on behalf of another individual for academic credit, certification, or employment qualification;
  • (c) Unauthorized account sharing, resale, or sublicensing of access credentials across multiple individuals;
  • (d) Automated, scripted, bot-based, or high-volume scraping of the Platform;
  • (e) Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract underlying source code, system prompts, or proprietary routing algorithms;
  • (f) Submitting illegal, malicious, or abusive content;
  • (g) Using the Platform to violate any local, state, national, or international law, or infringing upon third-party intellectual property.

Consequences of Violation & Notice of Suspension:
If we determine, based on objective telemetry, audit logs, or verified third-party notice, that an account has violated this Acceptable Use Policy:

  • Access will be suspended or terminated, and unauthorized automation will be blocked.
  • Fair Appeal Mechanism: Users subjected to account suspension will receive notice at their registered email and may submit an appeal or clarification within 14 (fourteen) calendar days to support@oppex.io.
  • Statutory Cooperation: Oppex cooperates with law enforcement agencies, statutory bodies, or regulatory authorities as mandated by applicable law pursuant to valid legal summons, court orders, or statutory notices. User data and usage logs will not be disclosed to private third-party institutions without the user's explicit consent or a binding judicial mandate, in strict accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

4. Disclaimers & AI Limitations

Oppex utilizes state-of-the-art third-party and proprietary Artificial Intelligence models. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI models generate probabilistic outputs and may occasionally produce inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or hallucinated responses. Oppex does not guarantee accuracy, correctness, or completeness. You are solely responsible for verifying any code, algorithm, or text before relying upon it.
  • Not Certified Advice: AI Outputs do not constitute certified academic instruction, legal advice, financial advice, or professional engineering certification.
  • "As-Is" Service: The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

5. Payments, Pricing, & Cancellation & Refund Policy

All prices displayed on the Platform are inclusive of applicable taxes, including Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Credits Model & Final Purchases:
Oppex operates on a consumption-based platform credits system. Computing resources and third-party AI inference capacity are allocated and consumed upon each solve request. Consequently, once an AI request has been successfully generated and delivered, credits consumed are non-refundable, and voluntary change-of-mind requests are non-refundable in cash.

Mandatory Statutory Refund Exception (Failed, Duplicate, or Erroneous Transactions):
In strict compliance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) payment aggregator regulations:

  • Failed or Unfulfilled Transactions: If your bank account, card, or UPI wallet is debited but the transaction fails, credits are not provisioned, or the service cannot be rendered due to a platform outage, the full debited amount will be reversed and refunded directly to your original payment source within standard banking turnaround timelines (typically 5 to 7 business days).
  • Duplicate Charges: In the event of an accidental duplicate charge caused by network delays or payment gateway glitches, upon verification by our billing team, the duplicate transaction will be refunded to the original payment method.
  • Technical Remedies: For eligible mid-session disruptions where credits were deducted without delivering an AI response, our automated engine restores credits immediately. For detailed terms, review our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

6. Privacy & Screen Capture Architecture

Your use of the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy. The Oppex desktop client utilizes an explicit user-initiated capture mechanism:

  • The software captures solely the specific bounding box or display region manually designated by the user.
  • The Platform does not passively record your screen, background windows, microphones, or files without active user commands.
  • All personal data is processed in strict compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

7. Intellectual Property & AI Data Processing

Platform Ownership: All intellectual property rights in the Oppex application, brand, design, logos, user interfaces, documentation, and proprietary software architecture are owned exclusively by Oppex or its licensors.

User Content Ownership: You retain all ownership rights in the code snippets, text, and images you submit ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant Oppex a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive license solely to process, transmit, and display such content for the purpose of generating the requested AI Outputs.

AI Training & Third-Party Processing Commitments:

  • No AI Model Training on Your Data: Oppex does not use your submitted code, problem text, or User Content to train its own proprietary AI models. We also use third-party AI providers (such as OpenRouter commercial API tiers) that do not train on your data.
  • Zero-Retention Commercial API Access: All AI inference queries are routed through enterprise commercial endpoints configured with strict zero-data-retention safeguards for API requests.
  • Cross-Border Processing: You acknowledge that AI inference computation and cloud server operations may be executed on secure cloud infrastructure located outside the Republic of India, subject to standard industry encryption and contractual data safeguards.

8. Limitation of Liability

Statutory Carve-Out: Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude Oppex's liability where such liability cannot be limited or excluded under applicable Indian law, including liability arising from fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury resulting from proven negligence, or statutory penalties mandated under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Aggregate Liability Cap: Subject to the statutory carve-out above, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Oppex's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Platform shall be strictly capped at the total amount paid by you to Oppex during the 30 (thirty) calendar days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

If you disagree with the amended Terms, you must stop using the Platform prior to the effective date. Continued access after the 15-day notice period constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Amicable Negotiation: In the event of any dispute or claim, the parties shall first endeavor to resolve the matter amicably through good-faith discussions for a period of 30 (thirty) calendar days following written notice.

Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved amicably through negotiation, it shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be Chilakaluripet / Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The language of arbitration shall be English.

Statutory Consumer Protection Carve-Out:

12. Force Majeure & Third-Party Vendor Outages

Oppex shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, strikes, natural disasters, telecommunications outages, cyber-attacks, or regulatory restrictions.

While unscheduled outages of upstream infrastructure vendors (such as Google Firebase, OpenRouter, or Razorpay) constitute force majeure events beyond our direct technical control, Oppex is committed to user fairness: any credits deducted for a solve or request that failed due to an upstream vendor disruption will be promptly credited back to the user's platform balance upon verification.


13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Oppex, its founder, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable legal expenses arising out of:

  • Your violation of any third-party intellectual property or privacy rights;
  • Your deployment of the Platform in prohibited, unauthorized, or examination settings in breach of Section 3;
  • Any User Content uploaded or transmitted through your account.

14. General Provisions

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

No Waiver: No failure or delay by Oppex in exercising any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cancellation & Refund Policy, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and Oppex governing your use of the Platform.


15. Age Requirements & Protection of Minors

The Platform is intended exclusively for individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

Furthermore, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, processing personal data of children requires verifiable parental consent.

If we discover or have reason to believe that an account has been registered by an individual under the age of 18 without verifiable parental consent:

  • We will immediately suspend the account and restrict further access;
