Terms of use — SignReady
Brainy Accountant Solutions Pvt Ltd ("PracticeGuru", "we", "us"). Version 1.1, effective 1 October 2026.
These terms apply to the firm that uses SignReady ("you", "the firm") and everyone it gives access to. By creating an account or ticking "I agree" you accept them, together with the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Addendum.
1. The service
SignReady is a software utility for finalisation, review and documentation work. It processes the information you supply (trial balances, financial statements, answers and inputs) and applies predefined calculations, comparisons, checks and prompts, and it produces drafts such as review points, statements, reports, letters and working papers.
2. No professional advice; you verify and decide
- Every output is draft assistance only. It is based on the data you supply and on predefined logic, and it may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date or unsuitable for a particular engagement — for example because of the data, the mapping of ledgers, imported figures, templates, changes in law or professional standards, or limits of the logic.
- Outputs are not audit evidence, an audit opinion, a certification or assurance, and are not legal, tax, accounting or compliance advice. They do not establish that any law, standard or ICAI guidance has been complied with.
- SignReady is not designed to detect every error, misstatement, fraud or non-compliance, and the absence of a review point or alert does not mean there is none.
- You and your engagement partner must independently verify all inputs, outputs, applicability, disclosures, procedures, conclusions and documents before you use, rely on, issue or sign them, and you remain solely responsible for your professional work, judgements, reports and every document you issue.
3. Your responsibilities and assurances
- You will use SignReady only for your firm's professional work, keep logins confidential and not misuse, copy, reverse-engineer or disrupt the service.
- You confirm that you have all notices, consents, permissions and authority needed to upload your clients' information to SignReady and to have it processed as described in the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Addendum.
- You are responsible for everyone you give access to — partners, staff and people from the client (such as the client's accountant) — and for what they do. Give access only to people who are entitled to see that client's information, and remove access when it is no longer needed.
- You will keep your own copies of source documents, working papers and final signed documents. SignReady is not an archive or backup: data is deleted as set out in the data retention policy, and deleted data cannot be recovered.
4. Plans, trial and finalisations
- Free trial: your first 3 finalisations, one-time per firm.
- Starter plan: ₹2,999 per year plus GST, up to 15 finalisations in the subscription year. Plus plan: ₹5,999 per year plus GST, up to 30 finalisations in the subscription year. Firm plan: ₹11,999 per year plus GST, up to 60 finalisations in the subscription year. Growth plan: ₹24,999 per year plus GST, unlimited finalisations for the firm's own clients (fair use: not for reselling or processing on behalf of other firms). The same limit also applies to each financial year of accounts: Starter allows at most 15, Plus at most 30 and Firm at most 60 paid finalisations for any one financial year, across subscription years. Free-trial finalisations do not count towards this.
- Discounts shown on the website (such as the additional 10% for young CA / tax firms of less than 3 years and for women proprietorships) are given on request, after verification, and are not combined unless stated.
- A plan can be upgraded to a higher plan during the year by paying the difference between the plan prices (plus GST); the plan end date does not change. Subscriptions bought before the current price list keep their finalisation limit until they are renewed.
- Subscriptions belong to the firm. Partners manage the subscription, the team and access.
- One finalisation = one client + one financial year. It is counted on first use (first upload or document) and remains counted even if deleted.
- After a plan ends, finalisations remain viewable and downloadable for 90 days. If the plan is not renewed, all client data of the firm is permanently deleted 180 days after the plan ended; Partners are emailed 30, 7 and 1 days before.
5. Availability
We aim to keep SignReady available, secure and accurate, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may change, suspend or discontinue features, with reasonable notice where practical.
6. Limitation of liability
- To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill or data, business interruption, penalties or fines imposed on you or your clients, or claims by your clients or other third parties — however caused.
- To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to SignReady is limited to the fees you paid for SignReady in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
- Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
7. Indemnity
You will indemnify us against third-party claims, and the reasonable costs of defending them, to the extent they arise from: (a) client or other information you or your users upload, including any lack of authority to upload it or to give someone access; (b) your use of, or reliance on, SignReady's outputs; or (c) your professional services and the documents you issue. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our breach of these terms or of the Data Processing Addendum.
8. Data and privacy
How we handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy; for your clients' data we act on your behalf under the Data Processing Addendum, which forms part of these terms. Retention periods are in the data retention policy.
9. Refunds
See the refund policy.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Each version has a number and an effective date. For a material change we notify Partners by email and in the app before it takes effect, and users are asked to accept the new version when they next log in. Earlier versions are available on request.
11. Law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, the courts at Mumbai shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
