Terms of use

Last updated October 21, 2026

These Terms of use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Arihaan Data Services LLC ("Arihaan", "we", "us") covering the Arihaan People API, its MCP server, the Arihaan People apps for ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants, this portal and the data we provide (the "Service").

BY SIGNING IN, USING AN API KEY, CONNECTING AN APP OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY AT https://people.arihaan.ai/privacy, AS EACH IS UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE. If you use the Service for an organization, you accept these Terms for it and confirm you have authority to do so. You must be at least 18.

1. We provide data only

Arihaan is a data provider. We compile business contact information and make it available to you. We do not control, review or endorse how you use the Service or its data, and we are not part of any decision, product, campaign, call, message, hiring process or other contact you make with it. You are solely responsible for how you and anyone using your account or connected apps use the Service and its data, for the results of that use, and for complying with all laws that apply to it. You use the Service and its data at your own risk.

2. Access

Access is by invitation and currently in beta. We may grant, limit, suspend or end access to the Service, any feature, key, connected app, contact-data approval or account, at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

3. Your account

Keep your API keys and sign-in secret. You are responsible for everything done with your account, keys and connected apps. One person or organization per account; do not share or sell access, or open extra accounts to evade limits, beta access, contact-data approval, billing, suspension or deletion. We may treat multiple accounts as one customer, close duplicates, and apply amounts due across them.

4. Limits, prices and changes

• We set and may change request limits, quotas, data coverage, refresh frequency, features, contact-data approval and plans at any time, including for individual accounts.
• The Service is free during the beta unless we agree otherwise. We may introduce or change prices and plans at any time. Changes apply from when we tell you, or from your next billing period if you already pay.
• If you pay, you authorize us and our payment processor to store your payment method and to charge it for all fees when due, including recurring charges, retries after a failed payment, and any other amounts you owe under these Terms, without asking you each time, to the extent permitted by law and card network rules. Fees are in U.S. dollars, exclude taxes, and are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise. We may suspend accounts with unpaid fees.
• We may change, add or remove any part of the Service, including data sources, fields and integrations, at any time.

5. Using the data

We give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the data returned by the Service for your own internal business purposes. Without our written permission, you may not:

• resell, redistribute or publish the data in bulk, or use it to build a competing dataset or service;
• scrape the Service, get around its limits, or try to break, overload or reverse engineer it;
• use the Service or data unlawfully, to deceive anyone, or to send spam.

The Service, our database as we compile it, and our software and brand belong to us. We give you no rights in the data beyond this license.

6. Contacting people

The index is about real people. When you use it, you must:

• comply with every law on contacting people and handling their data, including CAN-SPAM, the TCPA and telemarketing and Do Not Call rules, CASL, the GDPR and UK GDPR, the CCPA and other state privacy laws, and similar laws where the person is;
• get any consent the law requires before calling or texting, and never use autodialers, prerecorded messages or texts to a mobile number without it; numbers in the index may be mobile, reassigned or on a do-not-call list, and checking is your responsibility;
• identify yourself truthfully, include a working opt-out where the law requires one, and honor opt-out and removal requests promptly, including telling us when someone asks to be removed;
• keep contact data secure and use it only for legitimate business purposes.

You may not use the Service or data:

• to decide anyone’s eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws. Arihaan is not a consumer reporting agency and the data is not a consumer report;
• to stalk, harass, threaten, dox or discriminate against anyone, to contact people at home or about non-business matters, or to find people who do not want to be found;
• to infer or target sensitive traits such as health, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, immigration status or political views;
• for any person you know has opted out, or after we tell you a record was removed.

7. Third-party apps and AI assistants

Apps and AI assistants you connect, such as ChatGPT or Claude, are run by other companies under their own terms. They may misread, leave out or invent information when they present our data. We are not responsible for them or for anything they show, do or store. Products you build with our data, including outreach, dialing, messaging, recruiting or enrichment tools, are yours alone; Arihaan is not their operator and is not liable for what they do.

8. People you contact and outcomes

People and companies in the index are independent third parties, not Arihaan partners or agents. If you contact, recruit, sell to, hire or do business with anyone using information from the Service, that is solely between you and them. Arihaan is not responsible for anything that happens before, during or after any such contact, including complaints, regulatory actions, lost deals, failed hires, misrepresentation, harassment or safety issues. The Service is not legal, compliance or professional advice. You release Arihaan, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from claims arising out of or related to your contact with anyone in the index and any outcome of your use of the data, except for amounts you owe Arihaan under these Terms.

9. Monitoring and usage data

We may monitor all use of the Service and record, review and analyze every request made with your account, keys or connected apps, and the results returned, along with related technical data ("Usage Data"). We may use Usage Data to run, secure and bill for the Service, to detect fraud and abuse, to enforce these Terms, for analytics, and to improve the Service and develop new products, including by training models. You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Usage Data for these purposes, and we own any aggregated or de-identified data derived from it.

10. Enforcement

If we find or suspect fraud, abuse, misuse of contact data, a breach of these Terms, unlawful or harmful use, unusual activity, complaints from people you contacted, payment disputes, or anything else we believe puts us, our data, our users or anyone else at risk, we may, at our sole discretion and without notice: investigate, limit or block requests, withdraw contact-data approval, revoke keys, disconnect apps, suspend or close the account and any related accounts we treat as yours, cancel credits or discounts, and report it to and share information with the authorities and affected people. We have no liability to you for any of these actions.

11. No warranties

Contact data is compiled from many sources and may be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date; people change jobs, emails and numbers, and a record may belong to someone else. Always verify before relying on it. THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, DELIVERABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS. We do not promise that anyone in the index has consented to be contacted.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS: WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATIONAL HARM OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR HOW YOU OR ANYONE ELSE USES THE DATA, FOR ANY PERSON OR COMPANY YOU CONTACT, OR FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY APP; AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF WHAT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR US $100. THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND EVEN IF WE KNEW A LOSS WAS POSSIBLE. They do not apply only to liability that cannot legally be limited.

13. Your indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Arihaan and its affiliates, officers, employees and contractors against any claims, losses, fines and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or its data, anything you or your connected apps build or do with it, any call, text, email or other contact you make, any claim or complaint by a person you contacted or by a regulator (including under the TCPA, CAN-SPAM, privacy or data-protection laws), or your breach of these Terms or of any law, except to the extent a court finally holds that the claim was caused solely by our willful misconduct.

14. Payment disputes

You will not dispute or charge back fees that were properly earned under these Terms. A chargeback or payment dispute on earned fees is a material breach. We may suspend or terminate your account and any related accounts and pursue collection where permitted.

15. Ending

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access at any time as described in section 2. When access ends, your license to the data ends and you must stop using and delete contact data obtained from the Service, except what the law requires you to keep. Sections on data use, contacting people, outcomes, monitoring, warranties, liability, indemnity, payment disputes, changes and disputes survive termination.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms at any time by posting a new version here, and changes take effect when posted. If the changes are significant, we will tell account holders, and we may ask you to accept them when you next sign in. You agree to be bound by these Terms as they are updated from time to time, including future versions: using the Service after a change is posted means you accept it. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service.

17. Disputes and general terms

• These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict-of-law rules. You will first contact us at ashwin@arihaan.ai to try to resolve any dispute. If that fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in San Francisco, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND WAIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. If a waiver is unenforceable, that part is severed and the remainder stands. The Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration.
• If you use the Service as a consumer, nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under consumer laws that cannot be waived, including the right to bring a claim in your local courts where that law gives it.
• These Terms and our Privacy policy are the whole agreement about the Service. A separate written agreement signed by us wins where it conflicts. If any part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver. We may transfer these Terms; you may not without our consent. We are not liable for delays caused by events outside our control. You agree to receive notices by email or in the portal.
