Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Jinda POS ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not download, install, or use the Software. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you ("the User") and Jinda POS ("the Company", "we", "us"), the company behind Jinda POS.

• These terms apply to all versions of the Software, including the free trial and paid licenses.
• If you are using the Software on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to accept these terms on its behalf.
• If you do not agree, uninstall the Software and delete all copies from your computer.

License Grant

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Jinda POS on your computer for the duration of your active license or free trial. This license is subject to the restrictions in these terms and the plan you have purchased.

• The free trial license is valid for 7 days from first activation, with full features.
• Paid licenses are valid for the term you purchased (1, 2, or 3 years) from the activation date.
• The number of user accounts depends on your plan: Starter (1 user), Growth (2 users), Enterprise (5 users).
• This license is for your use only — it cannot be shared, sold, or transferred to another party without our written consent.

Your Account

When you activate a license, you create an account with a username and password. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

• Keep your username and password secure — do not share them with anyone.
• You are responsible for all actions taken under your account, including by employees or agents you grant access to.
• If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately so we can secure your account.
• Each user account should be used by one person only — do not share login credentials between staff.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that show suspicious or fraudulent activity.

Service Availability

Jinda POS is a desktop application that runs entirely on your computer. Unlike cloud-based software, it does not require an internet connection to function. However, certain features (license activation, software updates, cloud backups) do require internet access.

• Core features (sales, inventory, invoicing, accounting, printing) work fully offline.
• License activation and re-activation require a one-time internet connection.
• Software updates require internet access to download.
• Cloud backups to Google Drive or MEGA require internet and your configured credentials.
• We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to our licensing servers, but downtime does not affect your ability to use the Software offline.
