Terms of Service

TERMS OF SERVICE

This Terms of Service (“TOS”) sets forth the general terms and conditions governing the professional relationship between eHands Technologies Private Limited (“eHands”) and the customer (“Client” or “Customer”) receiving services from eHands. This TOS constitutes a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) effective as of the date on which the Customer first purchases services from eHands. Any breach of this Agreement shall be considered a violation of contract and may result in termination of services.

By accessing the eHands website or purchasing services from eHands, the Customer acknowledges having read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service in full.

1 . Services

eHands shall provide the business support and virtual assistant services purchased by the Customer in a professional manner, consistent with industry standards. The scope of each service engagement will be detailed in a written “Work Order” or equivalent agreement, including project scope, timelines, deliverables, and payment terms. Services will begin only after the Customer electronically accepts the Work Order and completes the agreed payment.

eHands reserves the right to assign any employee, contractor, or sub-contractor to deliver the service, as deemed appropriate to fulfill the work scope effectively.

2 . Customer Responsibilities
a) Supervision of Assistant

The assistant assigned by eHands will operate under the instructions of the Customer. If the Customer delegates any decision-making authority, it is assumed that the assistant is executing such tasks under the Customer's direction and supervision. eHands may conduct its own internal quality checks; however, the Customer retains operational control of assigned tasks.

b) Credential Management

While eHands implements reasonable security protocols, the Customer is responsible for managing the access and credentials shared with any assigned assistant. Customers should limit exposure using role-based access, restricted timeframes, or non-critical system permissions.

c) Restricted Use

Customers must not use eHands services for any illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or unethical purposes. Any use that violates local or international laws or supports activities such as phishing, impersonation, or IP theft is strictly prohibited.

d) Copyright Compliance

If the Customer requires the assistant to use content, images, software, or material from paid or licensed sources, it is the Customer's responsibility to obtain the necessary rights. eHands will not be held liable for copyright infringement due to the Customer's failure to secure permissions.

e) Use of Information and Materials

The Customer may share business information, files, templates, software, or credentials required to execute the services. eHands will use such materials only to complete the tasks as defined in the Work Order. Any confidential information must be clearly marked and accompanied by handling instructions. eHands agrees to maintain confidentiality in accordance with its internal protocols and applicable laws.

f) Legal Compliance

eHands acts on instructions received from the Customer. It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that any third-party data shared with eHands has been lawfully collected and necessary consent has been obtained as per applicable data protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA, or other regional compliance requirements.

3 . Term and Termination

7 . Intellectual Property

All deliverables created specifically for the Customer are considered “work for hire” and belong to the Customer, provided they are within the scope of the engagement.
