Terms of Service

Effective Date: 28 April 2026 · Operated by AlgoLayer Technologies Private Limited

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you ("Customer", "you") and AlgoLayer Technologies Private Limited ("AlgoLayer", "we", "us"), a company incorporated under the Companies Act 2013, with its registered office in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, operating the Fencemaker geofencing API platform at fencemaker.app.

By creating an account, using an API key, or otherwise accessing the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Fencemaker provides:

  • Point-in-polygon (PiP) API: synchronous checks whether a given latitude/longitude falls within a defined polygon
  • Webhook Geofencing: boundary monitoring that fires HTTP webhook callbacks when a tracked device enters or exits a defined zone
  • Device / Asset Management: APIs and dashboard to register and manage tracked assets
  • Geofence Management: tools to draw, import, and manage polygon zones
  • Batch API: bulk PiP checks and import operations

3. Accounts & API Keys

3.1 Registration

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and API keys.

3.2 API Key Security

API keys are equivalent to passwords. You must not share them publicly, commit them to public repositories, or embed them in client-side code. AlgoLayer is not liable for any unauthorised use of your API keys. If you suspect a key has been compromised, rotate it immediately from the dashboard.

3.3 One Account Per Entity

Each organisation may maintain one primary account unless you subscribe to a Premium or Enterprise plan that includes sub-accounts.

4. Subscription Plans & Billing

4.1 Plans

Fencemaker offers the following subscription tiers: Free, Standard ($29/mo or INR equivalent), Advanced ($79/mo), Premium ($249/mo), and Enterprise (custom). Plan features and limits are as published on the pricing page at the time of subscription.

4.2 Free Tier

The Free tier is provided without charge and without a service level commitment. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Free tier with 30 days' notice.

4.3 Paid Subscriptions

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance.

4.4 Top-Up Packs

One-time top-up packs provide additional PiP checks and webhook events with 6-month validity. Top-up credits are consumed before base plan quota. Unused credits expire at validity end and are non-refundable.

4.5 Quota & Overages

When your plan quota is exhausted, additional requests will return a 429 (quota exceeded) response. We do not auto-charge overages. To continue service beyond quota, upgrade your plan or purchase a top-up pack.

4.6 Refunds

Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time from the dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we do not provide pro-rated refunds for partial months. If you experience a service failure attributable to us, contact support@fencemaker.app within 7 days and we will evaluate a credit at our discretion.

This refund policy applies to the extent permitted under the Consumer Protection Act 2019. Statutory rights under Indian consumer law are not excluded.

4.7 Startup Program

Acceptance into the Startup Program grants 6 months of the Advanced tier at no charge. The program is non-transferable, limited to one application per organisation, and converts automatically to a paid Advanced subscription ($79/mo or INR equivalent) at the end of the free period unless cancelled.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service:

  • To track individuals without their knowledge or consent

  • To attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract our underlying map data, polygons, or database
  • In any application involving safety-critical systems (air traffic control, medical devices, nuclear infrastructure) where API unavailability could cause physical harm
  • In violation of any applicable Indian or international law

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms without prior notice in cases of serious breach.
