This End User License Agreement governs the use of software/platform of Consark Inc., Consark LLP, Consark Advisory Services LLP or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (together “We”, “Us”, “Our” or “Consark”) by You.
Please read this End User Licence Agreement (“EULA”) carefully as this EULA governs your use of the Consark software/platforms including the Unified Controllership Platform, its associated upgrades, patches, and updates and related services (the “Product”) currently provided or which will be provided by Consark Advisory Services LLP, or any one of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies (collectively referred to as “Consark”).
This EULA sets out the basis on which Consark makes the Product available to you (“User” or “You”) and on which platform/devices You may use them. The provisions of this EULA apply to and govern the use of and/or access to the website www.consark.ai, and the mobile/web applications of Consark, by the User. The Terms shall also apply to the User in relation to the relevant services availed with respect to the Product. Consark’s Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://new.consark.ai/policies/privacypolicy, forms an integral part of this EULA.

This EULA is applicable to both the company which is the customer of Consark and the company’s representatives who have been provided access to the software application as users. The terms “User” and “You” shall therefore refer to both the aforementioned, and wherever the context so requires, shall be interpreted accordingly, including whether to mean jointly or severally.
