Terms of Service

The agreement between you and DealZap.

Last updated: 17 April 2026 (v2.0)

By creating an account on DealZap or using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

DealZap provides an AI-powered deal discovery, scoring, and publishing platform including: automated deal discovery across Indian e-commerce platforms, AI-powered deal scoring (0-100) and caption generation, multi-platform publishing (Telegram in production; Instagram and WhatsApp in private beta), affiliate link generation with tracking and commission management, click fraud detection and prevention, and analytics dashboard with earnings reporting.

You must provide accurate information when creating your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must not use the platform for fraudulent click generation or commission manipulation. You must comply with the terms of service of platforms you publish to (Telegram in production today; Instagram and WhatsApp connectable in private beta).

The Starter plan is free and requires no payment information. Paid plans (Growth, Pro, Add-ons) are billed monthly or annually as selected. Upgrades take effect immediately with pro-rated billing. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. All prices are in INR and inclusive of applicable taxes.

DealZap generates affiliate links using platform accounts or your own accounts (with the Own Account Add-on). Platform commission rates are determined by your subscription plan: Starter 50%, Growth 15%, Pro 5%. Commission rates at the time of each earning are snapshot-recorded and immutable. Earnings identified as fraudulent via our 6-signal fraud detection will be excluded from payouts. Minimum payout threshold is ₹500 and payouts are processed monthly.

DealZap maintains a zero-tolerance policy for click fraud. Our automated fraud detection system analyzes every click using velocity analysis, geographic anomalies, device fingerprinting, referrer validation, time pattern analysis, and IP reputation scoring. Accounts found to be engaging in fraudulent activity will be suspended and earnings forfeited.

Each plan includes specific limits on channels, posts per day, and AI captions per month. Usage is tracked monthly and resets at the start of each billing cycle. Exceeding limits will result in soft-blocking until the next period or an upgrade.

Deal content sourced from e-commerce platforms remains the property of those platforms. AI-generated captions are provided as a service and may be freely used by you for publishing purposes. The DealZap platform, brand, and technology are proprietary.

You may terminate your account at any time through your dashboard settings. DealZap reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Upon termination, pending earnings above the minimum threshold will be paid out within 30 days.

DealZap is provided "as is." We are not liable for lost earnings due to affiliate network changes, platform API outages, or deal availability. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the preceding 12 months.

PAN Requirement. To receive affiliate commission payouts, you must submit a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) issued by the Income Tax Department of India. Your PAN is verified in real-time against the NSDL database via Cashfree Payments India Pvt Ltd. Submitting a PAN that does not belong to you is a violation of these terms and may result in account suspension.

TDS Deduction (Section 194H). DealZap is required by law to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on commission payments. TDS is deducted at 2% on commissions exceeding ₹15,000 in a financial year (April 1 to March 31) where a valid PAN has been verified. Where no valid PAN is on record, TDS is deducted at 20% as required by Section 206AA of the Income Tax Act. A TDS certificate (Form 16A) will be issued annually.

Bank Account Verification. You authorise DealZap to verify your bank account through Razorpay Software Pvt Ltd using the Fund Account Validation service (penny-drop). This process deposits and immediately reverses ₹1 to confirm that the account is active and belongs to you. The NPCI-registered name returned by this process must reasonably match your account name; a significant mismatch will require manual review.

Name Matching. We use automated name-matching (Jaro-Winkler algorithm) to compare your account name against the name registered on your PAN and bank account. A score below our threshold triggers a manual review queue. Accounts where both verifications fail may be restricted from requesting payouts until resolved.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
