Licence & Agreements (draft)
Every agreement between you and Hovarns, on one page, in plain words first.
1. How these agreements fit together
One page, every agreement. Each section starts with a plain summary; the numbered clauses are what counts.
- These agreements are between you and Registered company name (to be confirmed).
- The privacy notice and the terms of use for the Hovarns Account and tools are on their own pages: Privacy and Terms.
- We change an agreement only with notice. The version and date are shown at the top of this page.
2. Software licence
Self-hosted copies of Horvarn Edu Coaching run under a signed licence tied to your domain.
- The licence names your centre, your domain and the modules you may use.
- It is signed with ECDSA P-256 using a release key kept offline. The app verifies it; real enforcement is on our servers.
- An unreachable licence server never locks the app. Only a signed revocation or real expiry of the licence does.
3. Updates
Updates are signed. Anything unsigned or altered is refused.
- Each release has a signed manifest listing every file with its SHA-256.
- The app checks every file against the manifest before using it. An unsigned or invalid package is refused.
- Dated changes are published on the changelog.
4. Hosted service
If we host your centre, this covers where it runs, backups and support.
- Hosting is on the Hovarns cloud, on a Hovarns subdomain or your own domain.
- Hosting region: Hosting region (to be confirmed). Backups: Backup policy (to be confirmed).
- Support hours: Support hours (to be confirmed). Support is by phone on +91 99437 08347.
5. Data processing
Your centre owns its data. We process it only to run the service.
- We act as processor for the centre's student, parent and staff data.
- On exit, you get a full export and we delete our copy within Deletion window (to be confirmed).
- Grievance officer: Grievance officer (DPDP) (to be confirmed).
