2. Nature of the Platform and Facilitation Services

2.1 Intermediary Status

Leadzo operates as an Information Technology Intermediary within the meaning of Section 2(1)(w) of the IT Act, providing the Platform as a technology-based marketplace to facilitate connections between Buyers and Sellers. Leadzo's role is limited to providing Facilitation Services. Leadzo does not provide, supervise, direct, monitor, or control the End Services provided by Sellers to Buyers. Leadzo's liability as an intermediary is governed by and limited in accordance with Section 79 of the IT Act and the IT Rules, 2021.

2.2 Nature of the Relationship

Important: Sellers are independent business owners and independent contractors. No relationship of employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or principal-and-agent is created or implied between Leadzo and any Seller by virtue of this Agreement or use of the Platform. Leadzo does not perform End Services and does not engage Sellers to perform End Services on its behalf. Sellers are solely responsible for all obligations applicable to them as independent businesses, including statutory registrations, tax compliance, insurance, and professional licensing.

2.3 Lead Distribution Model

Leadzo operates a two-tier lead distribution mechanism as follows:

(a) Platform-Matched Leads

Upon a Buyer submitting a service request, Leadzo's proprietary algorithm identifies Sellers whose registered service categories and location preferences match the Buyer's stated requirements and sends a Lead alert to all such eligible Sellers. A maximum of three (3) Sellers may unlock and access that Lead. Once three (3) Sellers have unlocked the Lead, it is automatically removed from the Seller dashboard and is no longer available to other Sellers.

(b) Buyer-Initiated Contacts

Buyers who have completed identity verification on the Platform may browse the Seller Listings and independently select and contact specific Sellers by requesting a quotation or a callback. No Lead Distribution Cap applies to Buyer-Initiated Contacts. A Seller selected through this mechanism may access the Buyer's contact details upon redemption of the applicable Credits.

(c) Concurrent Application

Both mechanisms may apply to a single Buyer's requirement simultaneously. A Buyer may receive outreach from up to three (3) Sellers through the Platform-Matched mechanism and, concurrently, from any number of Sellers directly contacted through the Buyer-Initiated mechanism. The Lead Distribution Cap applies exclusively to Platform-Matched Leads.

2.4 Effect of Lead Purchase

Upon a Seller's redemption of Credits for a Lead, Leadzo shall provide the Seller with the Buyer's contact details. The Seller may thereafter communicate with the Buyer directly through any mutually agreed channel. The purchase of a Lead does not constitute a guarantee of any conversion, engagement, hire, or business outcome. Leadzo's sole obligation upon Lead purchase is to provide valid Buyer contact details, subject to the Credit return provisions of Clause 6.

2.5 Seller Contract Independence

Important: Any agreement entered into between a Seller and a Buyer for the provision of End Services constitutes an independent Seller Contract between those parties alone. Leadzo is not a party to any Seller Contract. Leadzo does not supervise, direct, control, or bear responsibility for the performance of any Seller Contract or any End Services provided thereunder. All rights and obligations arising from a Seller Contract, and all liability for deficiency, negligence, or non-performance of End Services, vest exclusively in the contracting Seller and Buyer.

3.3 Verification and Background Checks

Leadzo reserves the right to subject any Seller's application and ongoing use of the Platform to such verification and background check procedures as Leadzo deems appropriate, including identity verification, proof of business registration, validation of professional qualifications and licences, and such other checks as may be required for specific service categories. Leadzo may engage third-party verification service providers for this purpose. The completion of any verification procedure does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or warranty by Leadzo as to the quality, professional standing, suitability, or legal compliance of the Seller or the End Services offered.

3.4 Seller Code of Conduct

Each Seller shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement:

3.4.1 Conduct all interactions with Buyers and with Leadzo's personnel with professionalism, courtesy, and good faith.

3.4.2 Respond to Leads with reasonable promptness and provide Buyers with accurate, complete, and non-misleading information regarding the Seller's qualifications, experience, and the End Services offered.

3.4.7 Refrain from posting, submitting, or soliciting false, fabricated, or incentivised ratings or reviews on the Platform.

The following conduct is strictly prohibited. You must not, and must ensure that no employee, agent, sub-contractor, or other person acting on your behalf:

3.5.1 Solicits, diverts, or conducts transactions with Buyers whose contact details were obtained through the Platform in a manner that circumvents, bypasses, or avoids Leadzo's Credit system or the payment of applicable fees.

3.5.2 Discloses, transfers, sells, licenses, or otherwise makes available Buyer contact details or Personal Data obtained through the Platform to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.

3.5.3 Registers or maintains more than one (1) account on the Platform for the same business entity or offers the same category of End Services through multiple accounts.

3.5.4 Attempts to re-register on the Platform following the suspension or termination of an account by Leadzo.

3.5.9 Uses the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful under applicable Indian law or that violates these Terms.

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Leadzo under this Agreement or at law, a breach of Clause 3.5 may result in immediate suspension or termination of the Seller's account and forfeiture of unused Credits. In addition, Leadzo reserves the right to impose a contractual penalty of up to five (5) times the Lead Cost of the Lead in connection with which the breach occurred. Such penalty constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of the administrative costs, reputational harm, and operational disruption caused to Leadzo by such breach and is automatically charged to the Seller's registered payment method.

4. Communications, Marketing Consent, and Data Outreach

4.1 Express Consent to Commercial Communications

Notice: By registering on the Platform and furnishing your mobile number and email address, you freely, expressly, specifically, and unambiguously consent, within the meaning of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and in compliance with the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018 ('TCCCPR') issued by TRAI, to being contacted by Leadzo Technologies Private Limited, its authorised sales representatives, customer success personnel, account managers, and third-party service providers authorised by Leadzo, through the following channels:

4.3 DND Registry and TRAI Compliance

By registering on the Platform and providing your mobile number, you acknowledge and confirm that you have opted in to receive commercial communications from Leadzo as described in Clause 4.1. This express opt-in constitutes sufficient prior written consent under the TCCCPR, 2018 to authorise Leadzo to contact you even where your mobile number is registered on the National Customer Preference Register ('NCPR') or Do Not Disturb ('DND') database maintained by TRAI, to the extent permitted under applicable TRAI regulations in respect of services you have subscribed to or requested from Leadzo.

4.4 Withdrawal of Consent to Marketing Communications

You may withdraw your consent to marketing and promotional communications at any time by submitting an unsubscribe request to support@leadzo.co.in with the subject line 'UNSUBSCRIBE', by following the unsubscribe mechanism included in any marketing communication, or by updating your communication preferences through your account settings. Leadzo shall process such withdrawal within ten (10) business days of receipt.

The withdrawal of consent to marketing and promotional communications shall not affect your receipt of transactional, account management, Lead notification, compliance, and legal communications, which form an integral part of the Facilitation Services and from which you may not opt out while you remain a registered Seller on the Platform.

4.5 Call Recording

Leadzo may record outbound and inbound telephone calls involving Sellers for the purposes of quality assurance, employee training, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution. By accepting these Terms, you provide your consent to the recording of calls made to or received from Leadzo. You may withdraw consent in respect of a specific call by notifying Leadzo's representative at the commencement of that call, provided that such withdrawal may limit the nature and scope of assistance that Leadzo is able to provide during that call.

5. Credits, Payments, GST, and Invoicing

5.1 Credit-Based Access to Leads

Access to Platform-Matched Leads and Buyer-Initiated Contacts on the Platform is governed by Leadzo's credit-based system. A Seller must redeem the applicable number of Credits from their Platform account in order to access a Lead. The Lead Cost applicable to each Lead is dynamically determined by Leadzo based on the service category, geographic parameters, Lead demand, estimated service value, and such other factors as Leadzo may determine from time to time, and is displayed on the Platform prior to redemption. By proceeding with redemption, the Seller accepts the displayed Lead Cost. Credits are non-transferable between Sellers, are not encashable, and have no monetary value outside the Platform.

5.2 Credit Pricing

The price per Credit, Credit Pack composition, and any applicable volume discounts are as published on the Platform from time to time and may be revised by Leadzo at its sole discretion with reasonable prior notice to Sellers through the Platform or by email. A Seller's continued use of the Platform following the communication of any price revision shall constitute the Seller's acceptance of the revised pricing.

5.3 Lead Distribution Cap

Lead alerts for Platform-Matched Leads are sent to all eligible Sellers based on their registered service categories and location preferences. A maximum of three (3) Sellers may unlock and access any single Platform-Matched Lead. Once three (3) Sellers have unlocked a Lead, it is automatically removed from the Seller dashboard and Credits will not be deducted from any further Seller's account in respect of that Lead. The Lead Distribution Cap does not apply to Buyer-Initiated Contacts as described in Clause 2.3(b).

5.4 Payment Terms

All Credit Pack purchases and Subscription fees are payable in full, in advance, at the time of purchase. Leadzo accepts payment through UPI, debit cards, credit cards, net banking, and such other Reserve Bank of India-compliant payment instruments as are made available on the Platform from time to time. All payment transactions are processed through RBI-regulated and PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways. Leadzo does not store, access, or retain complete payment card details.

5.5 Goods and Services Tax

All transactions on the Platform, including Credit Pack purchases and Subscription fees, are subject to Goods and Services Tax at the rate applicable under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. Leadzo shall issue a valid GST-compliant tax invoice in respect of each taxable transaction. Sellers who are GST-registered are required to ensure that their GSTIN is accurately recorded in their Platform account to facilitate availment of input tax credit where eligible. Sellers are solely responsible for the filing of returns and discharge of all tax obligations, including income tax and professional tax, arising from their revenue from End Services.

5.6 Credit Validity and Expiry

Credits purchased on the Platform are valid for twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. Credits that are not redeemed within this period shall automatically expire and be forfeited without refund, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable Indian law. Leadzo shall endeavour to provide advance notification of impending Credit expiry through available communication channels.

6. Credit Return Policy

6.1 General Non-Refundability

All Credits purchased on the Platform are non-refundable in cash or monetary equivalent, except to the extent expressly provided in this Clause 6 or as mandated by applicable Indian law. Leadzo will not, for example, offer any return of Credits where the contact details provided are correct but the Buyer chooses not to respond to the Seller's introduction, or where the Seller does not secure the engagement. There may be cases where a Buyer decides not to choose any of the Sellers introduced to them — this is entirely at the Buyer's discretion and no Credit return applies in such cases. Where a Credit return is approved by Leadzo, the return shall be effected solely by reinstatement of the applicable Credits to the Seller's Platform account. No monetary refund shall be issued in any circumstances, save where required under applicable Indian law. Submitting a Credit return request does not guarantee that a return will be granted — any return is conditional on meeting the criteria in Clause 6.2 or 6.3, as applicable. Leadzo's determination as to the eligibility of a Credit return request shall be final and binding, subject only to the grievance redressal process set out in Clause 10.3.

6.2 Grounds Entitling a Seller to a Credit Return — Platform-Matched Leads

In respect of Platform-Matched Leads, a Seller shall be entitled to request a Credit return only where all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Seller notifies Leadzo within seven (7) calendar days of the date on which the Lead was accessed; and (ii) the request demonstrates, to Leadzo's reasonable satisfaction, that one of the following circumstances applies:

6.2.1 A phone number provided in the Lead is invalid — for example, where it says 'calls are not being connected to this number' or equivalent — such that the contact is permanently unreachable, and not merely temporarily unavailable or engaged.

6.2.2 An email address provided in the Lead is not functioning and the Seller receives a bounce-back when using that address.

6.2.3 Leadzo is able to verify that the contact details provided are not for the person who submitted the service request.

6.2.4 The Lead has been submitted to the Platform fraudulently or in bad faith and is confirmed as such upon Leadzo's investigation.

6.3 Grounds Entitling a Seller to a Credit Return — Buyer-Initiated Contacts

In respect of Buyer-Initiated Contacts, a Seller shall be entitled to request a Credit return only where the Seller notifies Leadzo within seven (7) calendar days of the Lead being accessed and one of the following circumstances applies:

6.3.1 The Buyer-Initiated Contact was ostensibly spam or otherwise fraudulent, as confirmed upon Leadzo's investigation.

6.3.2 Leadzo is able to verify that the contact details provided are not for the person who submitted the Buyer-Initiated Contact.

6.4 Circumstances in Which Credit Returns Are Not Available

No Credit return shall be available in any of the following circumstances, regardless of the Seller's subjective assessment of the quality or utility of the Lead:

6.4.1 The Buyer elects not to respond to the Seller's outreach or communication.

6.4.2 The Buyer selects another Seller in preference to the requesting Seller.

6.4.3 The Buyer's stated budget, timeline, or scope of requirement does not align with the Seller's service offering, notwithstanding that the contact details provided were accurate.

6.4.4 The Seller fails to make reasonable and timely contact with the Buyer following Lead purchase.

6.4.5 The Buyer withdraws, cancels, or modifies their service request after the Lead has been purchased.

6.4.6 The Seller is dissatisfied with the Lead for any reason that does not fall within the grounds specified in Clauses 6.2 or 6.3.

6.4.7 A Buyer exercises their discretion not to engage any Seller introduced to them through the Platform. The mere fact that a Buyer does not proceed to engage any Seller does not, of itself, constitute grounds for a Credit return.

6.5 Procedure for Credit Return Requests

A Seller seeking a Credit return must submit a written request by email to support@leadzo.co.in within seven (7) calendar days of the date on which the relevant Lead was accessed. The request must specify the Lead reference identifier, the nature of the ground relied upon, and such supporting documentation or evidence as Leadzo may reasonably require. Leadzo shall investigate the request and communicate its determination to the Seller within ten (10) business days of receipt of a complete request.

6.6 HireShield Guarantee

The HireShield Guarantee is Leadzo's exclusive conditional assurance provided to first-time Sellers in connection with their initial Starter Pack purchase on the Platform.

Subject to the conditions specified below, where a first-time Seller has: (i) purchased a Starter Pack as their first Credit Pack on the Platform; (ii) redeemed all Credits comprised in that Starter Pack; (iii) responded to Leads and engaged in good faith with Buyers in the manner reasonably expected of a professional Seller; (iv) has not entered into any Seller Contract or been engaged by any Buyer during the validity period of the Starter Pack Credits; and (v) three (3) days have passed since the final Credits in the Starter Pack were redeemed — that Seller may submit a claim to Leadzo requesting reinstatement of Credits equivalent to the Credits comprised in the original Starter Pack.

Upon verification of a valid HireShield claim, Leadzo shall reinstate the applicable Credits to the Seller's Platform account. Reinstated Credits under the HireShield Guarantee shall not be subject to any expiry period for so long as the Seller's account remains active. The HireShield Guarantee is subject to the following conditions:

6.6.1 Is available only once per Seller and only in connection with the Seller's first Starter Pack purchase.

6.6.2 Is not transferable and may not be assigned to any other Seller or account.

6.6.3 Does not apply to any subsequent Credit Pack purchases.

6.6.4 Does not guarantee any specific business outcome, hire, or conversion.

Claims under the HireShield Guarantee must be submitted to support@leadzo.co.in following redemption of all Starter Pack Credits. Leadzo shall assess each claim at its reasonable discretion and notify the Seller of its determination within ten (10) business days.

7. Leadzo Advantage — Subscription Plan

7.1 Nature and Availability

Leadzo Advantage is an optional paid subscription plan available to all registered Sellers on the Platform. Subscription to Leadzo Advantage is not a condition of registration or continued use of the Platform.

Important: Leadzo Advantage is not a mechanism for purchasing priority treatment in a manner that undermines the integrity of the marketplace. The Lead Distribution Cap of three (3) Sellers per Platform-Matched Lead applies equally to all Sellers, including Leadzo Advantage subscribers. Subscribing to Leadzo Advantage does not guarantee the allocation of any Lead, any conversion, any hire, or any specific business outcome.

7.2 Subscription Plans and Pricing

Leadzo Advantage is offered on a Monthly Plan and an Annual Plan. The pricing, billing frequency, and features applicable to each Subscription Plan are as published on the Platform from time to time.

The benefits associated with a Leadzo Advantage subscription, as published on the Platform from time to time, include the following:

7.3.1 Credit Discount. Leadzo Advantage subscribers shall receive a discount on all Credit Pack purchases at the percentage rate published on the Platform from time to time.

7.3.2 Weekly Complimentary Leads. Subscribers shall receive complimentary Leads on a weekly basis, the number and frequency of which are as published on the Platform from time to time. These Leads are sourced from Lead inventory that has been available on the Platform for a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours. Complimentary Leads do not consume Credits from the Seller's account. Complimentary Leads that are not accessed within the applicable weekly period shall not carry forward or accumulate. Complimentary Leads are provided only for so long as the Seller's Subscription Plan remains active.

7.3.5 Priority Support. Leadzo shall endeavour to respond to support requests submitted by Leadzo Advantage subscribers via email within the response time published on the Platform during standard business hours. This commitment is an operational target and does not constitute a contractual guarantee. Leadzo shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a failure to meet this response time in any particular instance.

7.3.6 Monthly Performance Reports. Subscribers shall receive a monthly report summarising available performance metrics in respect of their Platform activity. The content, format, and frequency of performance reports may be amended by Leadzo at its discretion.

Monthly Plan subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly basis, commencing on the date of first subscription. Annual Plan subscriptions are billed in full at the commencement of each annual subscription period. All Subscription fees are payable in advance. By subscribing to Leadzo Advantage, you authorise Leadzo and its designated payment processors to automatically charge your registered payment method on each billing date for the applicable Subscription fee plus GST. In the event of payment failure, Leadzo reserves the right to suspend Subscription benefits until payment is received and, if payment remains outstanding for more than five (5) business days, to cancel the Subscription.

Leadzo reserves the right to suspend a Seller's access to Leadzo Advantage benefits, without refund of Subscription fees, in the event that: (i) the Seller's account is suspended pursuant to Clause 12.3; (ii) the Seller is in breach of these Terms; or (iii) the Seller's payment for the applicable Subscription period has not been received.

Leadzo reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or discontinue any feature, benefit, pricing, or other term of the Leadzo Advantage subscription at any time. Where any such amendment materially reduces a benefit available to existing subscribers, Leadzo shall provide not less than fourteen (14) days' prior written notice to affected subscribers by email. Where the amendment is a price increase, existing subscribers shall be notified and the increase shall take effect from the commencement of the next Subscription billing period following the notice. If a subscriber does not accept a material amendment, the subscriber may cancel their Subscription in accordance with Clause 7.6 before the amended terms take effect.

8. Seller Profile, Ranking Algorithm, and Reviews

8.1 Seller Profile

Each Seller is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, currency, and legal compliance of all information and content comprised in their Seller Profile. Leadzo reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without notice or liability, to edit, suspend, or remove any Seller Profile or any element thereof that Leadzo determines to be inaccurate, misleading, offensive, unlawful, or in breach of these Terms or Leadzo's published content guidelines. Where a Seller has provided a link to their own website or digital profile, Leadzo shall display such link on the Seller Profile but accepts no responsibility or liability for the content, accuracy, or legal compliance of any linked third-party website.

8.2 Ranking Algorithm

When a Buyer submits a service request, Leadzo's algorithm generates a ranked list of Sellers whose profiles correspond to the Buyer's stated requirements. The ranking algorithm considers such factors as Leadzo determines relevant from time to time, which may include the completeness and currency of the Seller Profile, the Seller's ratings and review score, the Seller's Lead response rate and speed, the Seller's Platform engagement, the Seller's verification status, and the Seller's Leadzo Advantage subscription status. Leadzo reserves the right to modify the parameters and weightings of the ranking algorithm at any time without notice. The existence of the ranking algorithm does not preclude a Buyer from independently selecting any Seller through the Buyer-Initiated Contact mechanism.

8.3 Buyer Reviews and Ratings

The Platform enables Buyers to submit ratings and written reviews in respect of Sellers with whom they have engaged. Such reviews and ratings represent the personal views of the individual Buyer and do not in any manner represent the views, opinions, or endorsement of Leadzo. Leadzo reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to remove or disable reviews that it determines to be in breach of its content guidelines, to be demonstrably false, or to contain personal or sensitive information. Sellers must not post, solicit, or incentivise the submission of false, fabricated, or misleading reviews or ratings.

8.4 Intellectual Property in User Content

A Seller retains all intellectual property rights in and to their User Content. By uploading User Content to the Platform, the Seller grants Leadzo a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, and perpetual licence to use, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt, and create derivative works from the User Content for the purposes of operating, maintaining, promoting, and marketing the Platform. The Seller represents and warrants that it owns or has all necessary rights and licences in respect of all User Content uploaded, and that such User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party.

9.4 TRAI Compliance in Buyer Outreach

When contacting Buyers using contact details obtained through Lead redemption, Sellers must comply with all applicable TRAI regulations, including the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018.

Schedule 1 — Data Processing Obligations (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023)

This Schedule forms part of and is incorporated into the Terms and Conditions for Service Professionals and sets out the obligations of the Seller as an independent Data Fiduciary in respect of Buyer Personal Data received through the Leadzo Platform, in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ('DPDP Act') and any rules and regulations made thereunder.

S1.1 Classification of Roles under the DPDP Act

Leadzo Technologies Private Limited acts as a Data Fiduciary within the meaning of Section 2(i) of the DPDP Act in relation to Buyer Personal Data collected through the Platform. Upon Leadzo sharing Buyer contact details with a Seller consequent to a Lead redemption, the Seller assumes the status of an independent Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act in respect of such Personal Data. The Seller's processing of Buyer Personal Data is independent of and separate from Leadzo's own data processing activities.

S1.2 Obligations of the Seller as an Independent Data Fiduciary

In its capacity as an independent Data Fiduciary, the Seller shall:

S1.2.1 Process Buyer Personal Data only for the specific, lawful purpose of pursuing the commercial engagement opportunity arising from the Lead in connection with which such data was furnished, and for no other purpose.

S1.3 TRAI Compliance in Outreach Communications

When contacting Buyer Data Principals using contact information received through Lead redemption, the Seller must comply with all applicable TRAI regulations, including the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018. The Seller must not employ auto-diallers, robocalling systems, or bulk SMS platforms for contacting Buyers unless the Seller has obtained the requisite authorisation under applicable TRAI regulations and the prior express consent of the Buyer.

S1.4 Liability

The Seller is solely responsible for its own compliance with the DPDP Act, applicable data protection laws, and this Schedule in respect of its processing of Buyer Personal Data. Leadzo shall bear no liability for any breach of data protection obligations by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties in accordance with Clause 11 of these Terms in respect of any penalty, fine, loss, damage, or claim arising from the Seller's non-compliance with its obligations as an independent Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act or this Schedule.
