Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of TerraCost (terracost.in, including TerraCost at terracost.in/app and Plant Explorer at terracost.in/plant-explorer) provided by SOW Business Solutions Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru, India. By using TerraCost you agree to them.
1. The service
TerraCost is a tool for preparing landscape bills of quantities, cost estimates and proposals. It calculates from the quantities and rates you enter. You are responsible for checking every estimate, rate and tax figure before sending it to a client, vendor or authority. TerraCost does not provide tax, legal or engineering advice.
2. Accounts
You must provide a valid email or mobile number and keep your login secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. One account per person.
3. Plans, pricing and contributions
TerraCost and Plant Explorer have a free plan and a paid Pro plan. Pro costs ₹475 per month or ₹4,550 per year, plus 18% GST added at checkout, and covers both tools. Prices may change for future purchases; we will tell you in advance on terracost.in.
We welcome contributions from all users, as listed at terracost.in/contribute: real rates, anonymised project data, plant knowledge, and feedback from real use. Contributions are anonymised before use, never include client details, and you keep ownership of what you send. By sending a contribution you allow us to use it, anonymised and combined with others, to improve TerraCost for all users.
4. When access changes
Projects you have created remain fully editable and exportable if plans or access rules change. Changes may restrict starting new projects, not access to existing ones.
5. Fees
There is currently no charge. Any future charge will be shown before you pay, exclusive of GST, and will not apply retroactively to work you have already done.
6. Your data
Your projects, rates, client details and exports belong to you. We store them to provide the service and may use anonymised, aggregated usage data to improve TerraCost. See the Privacy Policy.
7. Acceptable use
Don't resell or share paid features outside your organisation, attempt to bypass plan gating, scrape the plant or rate libraries, or use TerraCost for anything unlawful. The plant, material and scope libraries are licensed for use within TerraCost, not for extraction.
8. Availability and changes
TerraCost is under active development. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Keep your own backups (the Backup button exports a JSON copy of any project). We may change features and pricing with notice.
9. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TerraCost is provided "as is". We are not liable for losses arising from estimates, quotes or contracts prepared with the tool. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, with courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka having jurisdiction.
