TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date : 15 October 2026

Updated On : 10 November 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to the Aale mobile application ("Aale", "the app"). Aale is published by Tukracraft ("we", "us", "the developer"), an individual developer based in India. By installing or using Aale you agree to these Terms and to the Aale Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app.

1. What Aale is

* Aale turns your Android phone into a soundbox: it speaks your received UPI payments aloud by reading the payment notifications shown by supported UPI apps, keeps a list of those payments on your phone (Collections), and can show a QR code for your own UPI ID.

* Aale is an announcement and record-keeping tool. It is NOT a bank, a payment app, a payment service or a wallet. It cannot send, receive, hold or move money.

2. Who can use Aale

* You must be 18 or older.

* Aale is meant for shop owners, vendors and others who receive UPI payments for their business.

3. Always confirm payments in your UPI or bank app

Announcements depend on your UPI app showing a notification, on your phone's settings (notification access, battery saving, volume, voice language), and on your phone working normally. Aale may sometimes miss, delay or mis-read an announcement.

* Before handing over goods or cash for an important payment, confirm it in your UPI app or bank statement.

* Aale is not responsible for losses that come from relying only on an announcement - including fake payment screenshots, fake sounds or fake messages shown by others.

* Keep payment notifications turned on in your UPI apps, keep notification access turned on for Aale, and keep your phone's volume up.

4. Your QR code

* If you set up a QR code in Aale, you are responsible for entering your own correct UPI ID and checking it once with your own UPI app.

* Money paid through the QR goes from the customer's bank straight to yours; Aale never handles it.

* Your bank or UPI app may set limits on payments to your UPI ID.

5. Your licence to use Aale

* We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Aale on devices you own or control, for your business.

* Do not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell or redistribute Aale, and do not use it for anything unlawful or to harm others.

6. Free use, subscription and payments

* Aale gives a number of free announcements each day, shown in the app. Payments after that are still saved in Collections but are not spoken unless you have a paid plan. The free amount and what is free may differ between users and may change; the app always shows what applies to you.

* Aale Unlimited is a paid subscription bought through Google Play. The price, the billing period, any first-period offer and the renewal price are shown in the app and on Google Play before you pay.

* All payments are made through Google Play. We never receive your card, UPI or bank details. If you pay with UPI, Google Play may set up a UPI AutoPay mandate for renewals, which you can see and manage in your UPI app and in Google Play.

* Subscriptions renew automatically through Google Play until you cancel. You can cancel any time in the Google Play Store app (Profile > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions). Cancelling stops future renewals; uninstalling the app or deleting your backup does NOT cancel a subscription.

* If a first-period offer is free, you will not be charged if you cancel before it ends.

* If we change the price, Google Play will tell you before the new price applies to your subscription.

* Refunds follow Google Play's refund policies. For any problem with a charge, write to us at tukracraft.app@gmail.com and we will help you.

7. Optional backup and your account

* Backup is optional. If you turn it on, you sign in with your Google account and Aale keeps a copy of your daily payments (amount, UPI app and time - no payer names) and your settings on our server, as described in the Privacy Policy.

* Keep your Google account secure; anyone who can sign in to it can restore your backup.

* You can delete your backup and account at any time: Settings > Back up my payments > Delete my backup and account, or by email as the Privacy Policy explains. Aale keeps working on your phone after deletion.

8. Third-party services

Aale relies on services we do not control: your UPI apps (to show notifications), Android, your phone's text-to-speech engine, Google Play (for downloads and payments), and Google Firebase (usage and crash information, app settings, sign-in and backup). Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for their availability or changes.

9. Intellectual property

Aale, its name, logo, design and content belong to Tukracraft. Names of UPI apps, banks and NPCI belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.

10. Not affiliated

Aale is independent. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with NPCI, any bank, or any UPI app, including GPay, PhonePe, Paytm and BHIM.

11. Changes, updates and ending access

* We may update, change or stop features, or stop offering Aale, and we may update these Terms. We will update the "Updated On" date above and show important changes in the app.

* You can stop using Aale at any time by uninstalling it (remember to cancel any subscription in Google Play).

* If you break these Terms, we may stop providing Aale to you.

12. No warranty and limitation of liability

* Aale is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

* We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by missed, delayed or incorrect announcements, or by a backup that could not be made or restored.

* Where the law does not allow these limits, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Aale in the 3 months before the claim.

* Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under Indian consumer protection law.

13. General

* If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest still applies.

* These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the full agreement between you and us about Aale.

14. Law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka.
