1. About Anavrta
Anavrta is a long-form reading platform developed and operated from India. The platform is designed to help users focus on, consume, and engage with long-form textual content — including articles, books, documents, and personal notes. Anavrta offers both a free tier and paid subscription tiers, with features varying accordingly.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Anavrta web application and any related services (collectively, the "Platform"). The Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Anavrta ("we", "us", or "our").
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
2.1 Eligibility

- You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under applicable law
- The information you provide during registration is accurate, current, and complete
- You will maintain the accuracy of your information and update it as necessary
2.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not share your username or password with any other person. Any activity that occurs under your account will be your responsibility, whether or not authorised by you.
If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, you must notify us immediately at admin@anavrta.com. We will not be liable for any loss arising from unauthorised use of your account prior to your notification.
2.3 One Account Per User
Each user may maintain only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, suspensions, or other restrictions is a violation of these Terms.
3. Free and Paid Subscription Tiers
3.1 Free Tier
Anavrta offers a free tier that provides access to core reading features, including Flow Mode, URL import, file upload, Text-to-Speech, and basic reading customisation. Free tier users also have limited access to Focus Mode (AI-assisted reading features), subject to usage caps that may change at our discretion.
3.2 Paid Subscription
Paid subscribers receive enhanced access including, but not limited to, extended Focus Mode usage, advanced AI interactions, and additional storage. Specific features and limits applicable to each tier will be published on the Platform and may be updated from time to time.
3.3 Billing
- Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at the time of purchase
- Payments are processed through Razorpay or Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis
- All fees are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise
- We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing with at least 30 days' written notice to existing subscribers
3.4 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at admin@anavrta.com. Upon cancellation, your paid access will continue until the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged for subsequent periods.
3.5 Refund Policy
Refund terms for voluntary cancellations are currently being finalised. Until a formal refund policy is published on the Platform, all refund requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please contact admin@anavrta.com to raise a refund request. Accounts terminated for violations of these Terms are not eligible for any refund.
4. Acceptable Use Policy
Anavrta is built for personal, lawful reading and idea development. The following behaviours are strictly prohibited on the Platform:

5. User Content
5.1 Your Content, Your Responsibility
You retain ownership of all content you upload, import, or create on Anavrta — including files, notes, highlights, and annotations. By uploading or creating content, you represent and warrant that:
- You own or have the necessary rights and licences to that content
- Your content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party
- Your content complies with all applicable laws
5.2 Licence to Anavrta
By uploading User Content, you grant Anavrta a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Platform's services to you. This licence does not extend to selling, sublicensing, or commercially exploiting your content.
We do not use your User Content to train AI models or to generate insights for third parties.
5.3 Content Sharing (Planned Feature)
Anavrta plans to introduce features that allow users to optionally share notes, highlights, or curated reading lists with other users. When this feature becomes available, additional terms governing shared content will be published. Sharing will always be an explicit, opt-in action — your content will never be shared without your deliberate choice to do so.
5.4 Content Removal
We reserve the right to remove any User Content that, in our reasonable judgement, violates these Terms or applicable law. We will endeavour to notify you before removal except where immediate action is required to protect users or the Platform.
6. Focus Mode and AI Features
6.1 Nature of AI Outputs
Focus Mode integrates AI-powered features including content summarisation, question answering, concept clarification, and quiz generation. These outputs are generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or current.
AI-generated content on Anavrta is intended to support your reading and comprehension — not to replace primary sources, professional advice, or verified research. Always exercise independent judgement when acting on AI-generated summaries or explanations.
6.2 Usage Limits
Focus Mode is available on both free and paid tiers. Free tier users are subject to monthly usage limits. Paid subscribers receive extended access. Limits are subject to change and will always be communicated clearly within the Platform.
6.3 Your Data in Focus Mode
When you use Focus Mode, the text you are reading may be sent to an AI processing service to generate responses. This processing is governed by our Privacy Policy. We do not use your reading content to train AI models without your explicit consent.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Anavrta's Property
All elements of the Anavrta Platform — including its design, interface, source code, trademarks, logos, and proprietary features — are owned by or licensed to Anavrta. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Anavrta's intellectual property to you.
7.2 Restrictions
You must not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without our prior written consent. This includes the Platform's visual design, feature architecture, and any Anavrta-authored content.

Anavrta allows users to import content from external URLs and third-party sources. We do not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for any third-party content accessed through the Platform. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of third-party content complies with the rights holder's terms and applicable copyright law.
