Merchant Responsibilities and Code of Conduct
As a merchant of Commmerce’s services, you are expected to adhere
to the following guidelines regarding the use of our platform and
services. First and foremost, you must not copy, duplicate, alter,
create derivative works, download, translate, or reverse engineer
any part of Commmerce’s website, services, content, or third-party
services without the explicit written consent of Commmerce, except
as allowed within these terms. You are prohibited from submitting
or displaying any user-generated content or licensed content that
may be considered defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise
harmful, and which violates the rights of Commmerce or any third
parties.
Additionally, you must refrain from engaging in any unlawful
activities, such as illegally obtaining login credentials for
other websites or collecting sensitive financial information
unless compliant with applicable laws. The uploading of malicious
content, spyware, or any harmful code onto Commmerce's services is
strictly forbidden, as is the unauthorized publication or use of
Commmerce's services or licensed content outside of our provided
channels.
You must not utilize automated devices or scripts to access or
monitor any portions of Commmerce’s services, nor should you
attempt to disrupt or compromise the integrity and performance of
the platform through probing or scanning for vulnerabilities. It
is essential to maintain the reputation of Commmerce; therefore,
any action that might damage our goodwill or bring disrepute is
unacceptable.
Furthermore, you may not purchase keywords that use Commmerce's
name or trademarks, impersonate any individual or entity, or
provide misleading information regarding your association with
Commmerce or any third party. Respecting the privacy of others is
paramount; thus, stalking or collecting personally identifiable
information without consent violates our terms.
Accessing Commmerce's services or accounts via unauthorized means,
including circumvention of security measures, is prohibited. You
must also avoid imposing an excessive load on our infrastructure
or engage in any form of unsolicited communications, such as spam
or phishing.
Additionally, you agree not to bypass, circumvent, or exploit any
technical limitations of the Services provided by Commmerce,
including using tools to enable disabled features. Decompiling,
disassembling, or reverse-engineering any part of the Services is
strictly prohibited. You also agree not to access the Services or
monitor any products or information from the Services using
automated means, such as robots, spiders, or scrapers.
Lastly, using our services for competitive analysis or
benchmarking with the intent to develop a competing product is
strictly forbidden. You are also not permitted to alter or erase
any copyright or trademark notices associated with Commmerce’s
licensed content. Adherence to these standards is critical to
maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all Commmerce
platform users.
-
Trial Period
Commmerce offers clients the opportunity to utilize a 3-day of
subscription free of charge, as announced and periodically updated
at Commmerce's discretion. At the conclusion of this trial period,
users will have the option to decide whether to continue using the
system under a paid license. Please be aware that Commmerce
reserves the right to modify the specified trial duration at any
time.
During the trial period, merchants' sites will be assigned
subdomains, which are owned by Commmerce. As such, Commmerce
retains full authority to cancel or suspend access to any
subdomain at its discretion and without any obligation to provide
reasons. Merchants acknowledge and accept that all subdomains
belong to Commmerce and that, at any time, Commmerce may terminate
or suspend a merchant’s account and associated subdomain. This
action may occur without notice or liability to the merchant or
any third parties, including immediate removal of any content
linked to the account.
It is important to note that Commmerce may later introduce a fee
for continued use of the system after the trial period, provided
that any such change will only apply after the initial trial
period has concluded.
In the event that a merchant fails to make timely payments after
the trial period, Commmerce may block or delete any information
associated with their account. Users who take advantage of the
trial period to create multiple sites for commercial use in an
inappropriate manner run the risk of having those sites locked or
removed without warning. Throughout the trial period, users may
receive various communications from Commmerce through email, text
messages, or other methods, keeping them informed of relevant
updates and promotions.
Store Ownership and Account Responsibilities
Subject to Section 1.1, the individual registering on Commmerce by
creating an Account will be recognized as the contracting party
(“Store Owner”) under our Terms of Service. The Store Owner will be
the person authorized to utilize any Account provided in connection
with Commmerce. It is your responsibility to ensure that the name of
the Store Owner (including the legal name of the business entity that
owns the Store, if applicable) is prominently displayed on your
Store’s website.
In the case that you are registering for the Services on behalf of
your employer, your employer shall be designated as the Store Owner.
In such instances, you must use an email address issued by your
employer, and you represent and warrant that you possess the necessary
authority to bind your employer to our Terms of Service.
Each Commmerce Store may only be associated with a single Store Owner.
However, a Store Owner is permitted to manage multiple Commmerce
Stores. The term “Store”
(hereinafter to be referred as “Store” or “Stores”) encompasses
the online storefront (whether hosted by Commmerce or a third-party
website).
Domain Names
When you acquire a domain name through Commmerce
(domains.commmerce.com), it is imperative to understand the
significance of timely renewal. Your domain name serves as your unique
online identity, and maintaining ownership is crucial to ensure
continuous access to your website and uninterrupted service. All
domain registrations come with an initial active period which varies
based on the specific domain extension chosen (e.g., .com, .net,
etc.).
To retain ownership of the domain name beyond the initial registration
period, you must renew it before the expiration date. Failure to do so
may result in the loss of ownership, rendering your website
inaccessible to users and potentially leading to loss of business.
Furthermore, when you register a domain with us, an auto-renewal
feature is provided for your convenience. This means that, unless you
disable this feature, your domain registration fees will be
automatically charged to your account at the end of each active
period, ensuring that your domain remains active without
interruptions. However, should you decide to deactivate the
auto-renewal function for any reason, it is your sole responsibility
to do so before the expiration date. We strongly recommend keeping
track of your domain’s registration status and renewal date to prevent
any lapses in service.
By acquiring a domain through Commmerce, you acknowledge and accept
these responsibilities regarding your domain management. Please
consult our support team if you have any questions or need assistance
in managing your domain settings.

due to laws, regulations, or court orders, the receiving party must,
if legally permissible, promptly notify the disclosing party in
writing and make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the
information is treated with confidentiality.

efforts to avoid sending sensitive personal data that may violate
privacy standards or regulations. By using the Email Services, you
acknowledge and accept these responsibilities, understanding that
any failure to comply with legal requirements may result in
penalties or account suspension.
When a customer subscribes to your newsletter, a default template
is automatically included in the email templates available to you
as a merchant. Additionally, you have the option to create a
customized newsletter that will be sent to subscribers upon their
registration. While you can personalize these newsletters to align
with your brand and message, it is essential to note that such
customization is limited in scope and must adhere strictly to
Commmerce’s policies to ensure compliance with all relevant
guidelines and best practices. Subscribers have the right to
opt-out of receiving these emails at any time, and you must ensure
that an easy and clear unsubscribe option is included in every
email sent, in accordance with anti-spam regulations. Furthermore,
while Commmerce offers a specific number of free emails as part of
your subscription, any email communications sent beyond this
allowance may incur additional charges, as detailed in your
pricing plan. By utilizing the email newsletter feature, you
acknowledge your responsibility to manage your communications
effectively while complying with all applicable regulations and
Commmerce’s policies regarding email usage.

Theme
As a merchant on Commmerce, you have the option to customize the
appearance of your Store by selecting a design template from
Commmerce’s Theme Store
(hereinafter to be referred to as “theme”). It is important
to understand that changing your website’s theme carries certain
risks, particularly the potential for data loss. Specifically,
when you switch themes, there is a possibility that your images
and content may be deleted, requiring you to re-upload them, which
Commmerce will not be able to assist you with. With this
understanding, you should proceed with the theme change only if
you fully acknowledge these risks and are comfortable with the
implications. Once you initiate the process and click "proceed,"
your Store’s theme will be updated within 60 minutes, during which
time your website will be temporarily unavailable. Therefore, we
strongly advise scheduling any theme changes during periods when
your business is least likely to be impacted. Additionally, please
be aware that Commmerce may periodically modify themes to
implement technical updates and improvements, which may include
necessary adjustments to maintain compatibility with our Services.
By proceeding with customization, you accept these conditions and
the associated risks of changing your Store’s theme.
Commmerce Marketplace
As a merchant on the Commmerce platform, you have the opportunity to
engage with industry experts to enhance various aspects of your Store.
You can work with an expert either directly or through the Commmerce
Marketplace, a dedicated resource designed to connect you with skilled
professionals who can assist with a wide range of services, including
design, development, marketing, and more. The Commmerce Marketplace
offers curated recommendations, making it easier for you to find the
right expert to meet your specific needs.
Through this platform, you can conveniently search for, hire, and
communicate with experts directly from your Account Admin interface,
streamlining the collaboration process. Please note that while
Commmerce provides this Marketplace as a valuable tool, it is your
responsibility to evaluate and select the expert that best fits your
requirements. Commmerce is not liable for any interactions or
agreements between you and the experts, including the quality of
services provided or any disputes that may arise. By utilizing the
Commmerce Marketplace, you acknowledge and accept these terms,
understanding that your engagement with experts is conducted
independently of Commmerce.
Copyright Infringement and Takedown Procedure
Commmerce is committed to upholding the protection of intellectual
property rights and encourages all merchants using our platform to do
the same. In alignment with the Indian Copyright Act of 1957, we
recognize our obligation to respond promptly to notices alleging
copyright infringement. If an individual believes that a merchant on
our platform is infringing upon their intellectual property rights,
they can submit a formal complaint under the provisions of the Act.
Such complaints should be directed to Commmerce’s designated agent
using the contact us form provided on our website. Upon receiving a
valid notice of copyright infringement, Commmerce may take appropriate
action, which may include the removal or disabling of access to the
materials identified in the notice. Merchants who receive a
notification of alleged infringement have the right to contest the
claim by submitting a counter-notification through our designated
form. Following the submission of a counter-notification, the original
complainant will have 14 business days to seek a court order to
restrain the merchant from continuing the alleged infringing activity.
If no such legal action is initiated within this timeframe, Commmerce
will promptly restore the materials in question to the merchant's
Store. By using Commmerce’s services, all merchants agree to comply
with these guidelines regarding intellectual property rights and
acknowledge the consequences of infringing upon the rights of others
as stipulated in the Indian Copyright Act.

Term and Termination
-
These Terms of Service will commence on the date of your successful
registration for access to our Services and will remain in effect
until terminated by either you or Commmerce, as outlined below
(hereinafter to be referred to as the "Term").
-
You may cancel your Account and terminate these Terms at any time by
contacting Commmerce’s Support Team or mailing us at
support@commmerce.com and following the specific instructions
provided in their response.
-
Without limiting any other remedies available to us, Commmerce
reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account or these
Terms of Service for any reason, without prior notice, and at our
discretion (unless otherwise mandated by law). This may occur, for
instance, if we have reason to believe you have engaged in
fraudulent activities related to the use of our Services, whether
through conviction, settlement, insurance claims, or otherwise. The
termination of these Terms will not affect any rights or obligations
that arose prior to the effective date of termination.
Upon termination of the Services by either party for any reason:
-
Commmerce will discontinue the provision of Services, and you will
lose access to your Account.
-
Unless specifically stated otherwise in these Terms, you will not be
entitled to any refunds for Fees paid, whether fully or on a pro-rata

-
If you have acquired a domain name through Commmerce, it is important
to understand that you are unable to cancel or terminate your
ownership of the domain until the end of the specified tenure for
which the domain was originally purchased. This means that the domain
name will remain active and under your ownership for the duration of
the registration period, which is typically set at one year or as
outlined in your purchase agreement. However, you do have the option
to resell your domain name before the tenure concludes, providing you
with the flexibility to transfer your rights to another party if you
choose to do so. Should you decide to pursue the resale of your
domain, it is your responsibility to ensure that you adhere to any
applicable laws and regulations governing such transactions, including
any terms specified by Commmerce and the domain’s registrar. Upon
successfully selling your domain, you will need to follow the
necessary procedures to transfer ownership to the new buyer while
ensuring that all obligations related to your original registration
are fulfilled. Please note that any actions regarding the resale of
your domain must be conducted in a manner that does not violate
Commmerce's policies or the terms of service provided by the domain
registrar. Commmerce will not be a part of such transfers and it will
be your sole responsibility.
Arbitration
This section outlines the agreed-upon processes for resolving disputes
between you and Commmerce. Before initiating any formal claims against
Commmerce, you agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the issue
informally. This could involve reaching out to our customer support
team to discuss your concerns and seek a mutually agreeable solution.
If, after these informal efforts, we are unable to resolve the
dispute, all formal claims must be submitted to arbitration, as
detailed in this section. However, you retain the right to opt out of
the arbitration requirement within 30 days of accepting this
Agreement; to do so, you must provide written notice to Commmerce
indicating your decision to opt-out. It is important to note that
whether a dispute is resolved through arbitration or in a court of
law, any claims must be brought individually. This means that you may
not pursue claims as part of a class action or representative action,
and each claim will be addressed on its own merits. By agreeing to
these terms, both you and Commmerce acknowledge and accept this
framework for dispute resolution, promoting a fair and efficient
process for handling any potential disagreements that may arise during
your use of our Services.
In the event of any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms
of Service, all legal proceedings shall be conducted in Bangalore,
India. You expressly agree that any hearings will take place
exclusively in the courts of Bangalore and not in any other
jurisdiction. This provision applies regardless of where the parties
are located or where the dispute occurred, ensuring that all legal
matters are resolved in the designated venue.
Modifications to Terms of Service
In the event that we implement a significant change to these Terms of
Service that materially impacts your rights or your ability to use our
Services, we will provide you with advance notice of such changes.
This notification will allow you to review the modifications and
understand how they may affect your use of the platform. However,
please be aware that if the changes are necessitated by legal
requirements or are essential to safeguard the integrity of our
Services—such as preventing abuse or ensuring compliance with
applicable laws—we may not be able to provide prior notice. In such
cases, we will make all reasonable efforts to inform you of the
changes as soon as practicable. By continuing to use our Services
after the changes have been communicated, you acknowledge and accept
the revised Terms. We encourage you to regularly review the Terms of
Service to stay informed about any updates. Your ongoing use of the
Services following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new
or modified Terms, reflecting our commitment to transparency while
protecting both your rights and the integrity of our platform.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Commmerce provides a comprehensive web-builder platform featuring a
variety of tools that you can utilize, with these tools offered on an
"as-is" basis. While we strive to continuously develop and enhance our
platform based on your feedback, Commmerce retains the discretion to
determine which tools are added and does not guarantee the
implementation of features the system does not currently support.
Additionally, we reserve the right to modify or discontinue the
system, including changes to its structure, appearance, and the
services and content available, without prior notification. You will
not have any claims or demands against Commmerce regarding such
modifications.
Although we endeavor to maintain uninterrupted service, Commmerce
cannot guarantee that the website builder and associated server will
operate flawlessly or be free from unauthorized access, hardware or
software failures, or other operational disruptions. Consequently,
Commmerce will not be liable for any direct or indirect damages or
losses incurred by you or your property resulting from such issues. We
will make every effort to ensure service continuity.
Please be aware that any information you submit through our system may
be accessible to all internet users and potentially through other
channels. You should exercise caution when sharing personal
information, such as your address or phone number, and when responding
to inquiries made via the platform. It is essential to maintain the
same level of vigilance when engaging in communication through digital
means as you would in person.
Payment for utilizing our services does not confer upon the payer any
ownership rights or responsibilities regarding Commmerce's system,
including its source code. Furthermore, Commmerce reserves the right
to implement changes that may impact the appearance and functionality
of your website at any time. As a commercial product, we are dedicated
to delivering exceptional performance for your site.
Without prior notice, Commmerce may alter the functionality or design
of the platform or temporarily or permanently remove features,
including but not limited to modules, layouts, styles, fonts,
third-party tools, plugins, and other functionalities within the
system. Regardless of the reasons for these changes, whether disclosed
or not, you acknowledge that you are bound by the terms and conditions
of this agreement.
Anti-Spam Policy
Commmerce maintains a strict no-spam policy across its services and
prohibits the sending of unsolicited messages through our platform or
any services associated with third parties. In the event of any issues
arising from spam activities on the Provider's servers or during the
operation of our services—whether due to internal or external
factors—Commmerce reserves the right to take various actions to
address the situation. These actions may include terminating the
services provided to you and, if necessary, removing the site from our
network without prior notice.
Certain apps within the Commmerce platform allow you to send messages
via advanced communication methods such as email and SMS. It is
strictly prohibited to misuse these apps for sending spam messages,
and Commmerce may terminate access to these functionalities at any
time if deemed inappropriate, without prior notification.
Our system also includes various features designed to manage outgoing
communications and handle user removal requests from mailing lists.
However, Commmerce does not warrant that these apps comply with the
legal requirements in your specific jurisdiction. It is solely your
responsibility to ensure that your use of these elements adheres to
all applicable regulations, and Commmerce shall not be liable for any
violations in this context.
Moreover, Commmerce encourages users and organizations across the
network to report any spam-related activities to help us identify and
mitigate such occurrences. Sending spam through any other servers is
also strictly prohibited; sites found engaging in such practices may
be blocked and held liable to indemnify Commmerce for any resultant
damages.
Additionally, our platform may provide tools for monitoring user
activities, including the management of mailing lists. However,
Commmerce does not guarantee that the data in these lists is current,
complete, or accurate, and we shall not be held responsible for the
quality or contents of this information should it be utilized by the
site owner.
Third-party sites or links:
Commmerce’s platform may contain links to third-party websites that
are not controlled or owned by us. As such, we do not assume any
responsibility for the content, security, functionality, or practices
of these external sites. These links are provided solely for your
convenience, and their inclusion on our platform does not imply
endorsement or approval by Commmerce or any affiliation with the
operators of those sites. Please be aware that these third-party
websites may be protected by copyright and intellectual property laws,
and they are the sole property of their respective owners. By using
our services, you acknowledge and agree that Commmerce reserves the
right to disable access to or remove any third-party links at our
discretion at any time. We encourage users to exercise caution when
interacting with third-party websites and to review their respective
terms and privacy policies before engaging with them.
General Conditions
These Terms of Service, along with any documents referenced within,
represent the complete agreement between you and Commmerce, regulating
your use of our services and your account. This agreement overrides
any previous arrangements or understandings you may have had with
Commmerce, including any earlier iterations of the Terms of Service.
The failure of Commmerce to enforce any right or provision within
these Terms of Service shall not be considered a waiver of that right
or provision. Should any provision of the Terms, including all terms,
conditions, and referenced documents, be deemed invalid or unlawful by
a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified and
interpreted to reflect the original intent of the provision as closely
as permissible under the law. All other provisions of the Terms of
Service will continue to remain in full effect.
Except for Commmerce and its affiliates, no individual or entity that
is not a party to these Terms of Service shall have any rights to
enforce any provision contained herein, unless explicitly stated
otherwise within these Terms. This includes individuals or entities
that may have been referred to by name or categorized in any way. To
be clear, this provision does not alter or affect the rights of any
authorized assignee or transferee of these Terms.
All terms and provisions contained in these Terms of Service will be
binding upon and benefit both parties, along with their respective
heirs, successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives.
Commmerce reserves the right to assign these Terms of Service at any
time without notifying you or requiring your consent. Conversely, you
do not have the right to assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights
or obligations outlined herein, to any third party without the prior
written consent of Commmerce, which may be granted or withheld at
Commmerce's sole discretion.
Should any provision or part of a provision in these Terms of Service
be deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such
determination will not impact the validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions or unaffected portions of the provision. In such
cases, these Terms of Service will be interpreted as though the
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been included.
This ensures that all other terms remain in full effect and
enforceable.
