Argus GST Billing

Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 October 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern use of Argus (the website at argusinvoicing.com and the Argus mobile application) operated by B&L Softwares and Logistics ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Argus you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have authority to bind the business, firm, company, or client whose records you enter. You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of all data you create or import.

2. What Argus is (and is not)

Argus provides software tools for invoicing, books, inventory, khata, and GST summaries and export files to help you prepare for compliance. Argus does not provide legal, tax, audit, or accounting advice. Argus is not a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP). It does not file GST returns, generate e-invoice IRNs, or create e-way bills on government systems, and it never asks for your GST portal password. You remain solely responsible for what you upload or file on the GST portal and for any tax consequences. Check figures with your accountant before filing.

3. Accounts and acceptable use

  • Keep credentials confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account
  • Use Argus only for lawful business purposes; do not issue false or fake invoices
  • Do not attempt to bypass paywalls, trial limits, or security controls
  • Do not abuse APIs, scrape, or interfere with service integrity

4. Free plan and subscriptions

The Free plan on Android lets you make up to 20 bills per calendar month; its bills carry a small "Made with Argus" watermark. Drafts and quotations do not count. We will give at least 30 days' notice in the app before reducing what the Free plan includes.

Paid plans and prices are shown on the website or in the app store before you pay, and are inclusive of all taxes. Monthly and yearly Business plans auto-renew until you cancel. Website (Razorpay) plans: cancel in one click from your profile or from the app. Google Play plans: cancel in Play Store > Payments & subscriptions (the app takes you there). Your bank or card issuer sends a pre-debit notice before each renewal as RBI e-mandate rules require. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period already paid for.

No refund on cancellation. If you cancel a subscription, fees already paid for the then-current billing period are non-refundable, and you will not receive a prorated refund for unused time, except where Indian law requires otherwise or our Refund Policy allows it.

Users. The Business plan includes 2 users: you and one more person. Each extra user costs ₹50 per month (inclusive of taxes), paid on the website in one payment up to the end of your current extra-user or plan period. Extra users end with that period unless you pay again; if they lapse, the users you added first keep access. Payments for extra users are not refunded if you remove a user or cancel, except where Indian law requires otherwise.

5. Free trial

Where offered, a Business trial is limited (for example 14 days) and may be restricted to one per account, device, and network. Website trials do not ask for a card and do not turn into a paid plan on their own. If a Google Play plan includes a free trial, Play shows the date it becomes paid; cancel before that date to avoid being charged. Misuse of trials may result in suspension.

6. Lifetime Business licence

"Lifetime" (one-time purchase on the website, where offered) means a licence to use the then-current Argus Business product generation for as long as we operate that generation, up to a maximum of twenty-five (25) years from your purchase. It is not your personal lifetime, and not a promise that every feature will exist forever. If we stop operating that generation, we will give you at least 90 days' notice and a way to export all your data.

Lifetime is offered only to our first 200 early adopters. Once they are taken it is no longer sold; licences already bought are not affected.

Lifetime includes, while we operate that generation:

  • Access to Business features of the current product generation you bought (Android app + web app under the same login, as we then offer them)
  • Maintenance updates, bug fixes, and incremental improvements we choose to ship to that generation

Lifetime does not include:

  • Add-on services sold separately (for example paid support packs, SMS, WhatsApp business APIs, GSP/e-invoice connectivity, premium AI quotas, or other products we introduce later)
  • New major versions or successor products that we clearly announce as a new generation. Those may require a new purchase or subscription
  • Transfer, resale, or sharing of the licence across unrelated organisations

Lifetime purchases are non-refundable once access is granted, except where Indian law requires a refund or as stated in the Refund Policy for non-delivery of access.

7. Cloud sync, users and CA portal

Cloud sync requires an active Business (or valid trial/Lifetime) plan. When it is on, your books are stored on Google Cloud (encrypted at rest by Google) so your phone, the web app and your CA can see them. A CA you invite gets read-only access until you stop sharing, which you can do at any time in Settings. You are responsible for whom you invite.

You can add people to your books (Settings > Users). They act for your business: you are responsible for what they do in your books, for the access you give them, and for removing them when they should no longer have it. Issued bills cannot be deleted by anyone; they are cancelled or corrected with a credit or debit note, and every change is kept in the edit log.

If you use the CA portal as an accountant, the portal is free and read-only. You may open a client's books only while that client shares them with you, and use them only to give that client your professional services. You keep them confidential and do not share them except as the client allows or the law requires. You are responsible for the returns and advice you give; Argus does not check or file them.

8. Your data and your customers' data

Our Privacy Policy describes what we process, our service providers (including Google Cloud in us-central1), retention, and your rights. For details you enter about your own customers, suppliers or staff, you decide why and how they are used (you are the Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act) and we process them only on your behalf to run Argus. You must have a lawful basis to enter that data.

9. Automated features

Voice entry, bill scanning, HSN and GST rate suggestions, compliance checks and Ask Argus are automated and can be wrong. Review their results before saving, sending or filing. Ask Argus sends a short summary of your books to an AI provider only when you use it.

10. Intellectual property

Argus software, branding, and documentation remain our property. You retain all rights to your business data. You grant us a limited licence to host and process that data solely to provide the service to you.

11. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided as is and as available. We work to keep it accurate and available but do not promise it will be error-free or uninterrupted. Keep your own exports or backups of records you must retain.

To the extent permitted by Indian law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, tax penalties or interest, filing errors, or lost profits. Our total liability for all claims relating to Argus in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us for Argus in that period. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

12. Your responsibility to us

If someone makes a claim against us because of invoices you issued, data you entered without a lawful basis, or your breach of these Terms or the law, you will cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent it was caused by you.

13. Events outside our control

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages at our cloud, payment or app-store providers, internet or power failures, natural disasters, or government action. Your books on your phone keep working offline during such outages.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts for serious or repeated breach of these Terms, fraud, non-payment, or risk to the service. Where reasonable we will tell you first and give you a chance to export your data. You may stop using Argus and delete your account at any time from Settings or the account deletion page.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms. For material changes we ask you to review and accept the new version before you continue; we do not treat silence or continued use as acceptance. If you disagree, you can stop using Argus, export your data, and cancel auto-renew.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and courts in India have jurisdiction. Please contact the Grievance Officer first so we can try to fix the problem. Nothing here limits your right to approach a Consumer Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
