Terms of Use

Effective Date: February 5, 2026

Welcome to BusinessMind

BusinessMind is a cloud-based business management platform designed for jewelry retailers and artisan manufacturers. The platform provides integrated point-of-sale, inventory management, customer relationship management, workshop and repair tracking, consignment management, appraisals, and custom manufacturing workflows, all accessible through a web browser.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the BusinessMind platform and related services. By registering for an account or using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the platform on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

DCIT Corporation ("DCIT," "we," "us," or "our") reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

5. Confidentiality

Each party will maintain the confidentiality of the other party's Confidential Information and will not disclose it to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives termination of these Terms.

This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party, was independently developed, or was received from a third party without restriction.

6. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Platform, including its design, code, documentation, and branding, remain the exclusive property of DCIT or its licensors. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

All Data entered into the Platform remains your property. You grant DCIT a limited license to use, process, and store your Data solely for the purpose of providing the Platform and related services. Your access to your Data is contingent on current payment of the Access Fee.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of Data entered into the Platform. DCIT follows industry best practices for data protection, including regular backups, but does not guarantee against data loss. DCIT expressly excludes liability for loss of Data regardless of cause.

You warrant that you have the authority to enter into these Terms and to bind any business entity on whose behalf you use the Platform.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. DCIT does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Access may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DCIT disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

DCIT is not an accountant, tax advisor, or legal advisor. Use of the Platform does not constitute professional advice of any kind. It is your sole responsibility to determine that the Platform meets your business needs and to comply with all applicable laws, including accounting, tax, and record-keeping requirements.

You warrant that you are using the Platform for business purposes and that consumer protection laws intended to protect non-business consumers do not apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DCIT's total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform is limited to the Access Fees paid by you in the four (4) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

DCIT shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunity, regardless of the cause of action or theory of liability. If you are not satisfied with the Platform, your sole remedy is to terminate these Terms in accordance with Section 10.

10. Termination

13. General Provisions

  • Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the BusinessMind Privacy Policy and any applicable Solutions+ agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and DCIT regarding the Platform.
