Terms of Service

Last updated 2 October 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and Danish Shah, trading as Cusentra Mail ("we", "us") for Cusentra Mail (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

In short.

  • Cusentra Mail works on the Gmail mailbox you already have. Your mail stays yours, and we never use it to train AI models.
  • No email is ever sent without you pressing Send. AI drafts and summaries can be wrong, so read them before you use them.
  • Paid plans are sold by Paddle, renew monthly and can be cancelled at any time, with a 14-day money-back guarantee from your first payment. A price rise needs your agreement.
  • Use it lawfully: no spam, no harassment, no breaking into anything.
  • Indian law governs these Terms, but if you are a consumer you keep the protection of the law where you live, and your local courts.

1. Who we are and how this agreement works

1.1 Us. The Service is provided by Danish Shah, trading as Cusentra Mail. You can reach us at danish@cusentra.com.

1.2 What the agreement is made of. These Terms, our Refund Policy (which forms part of them) and, if you use the Service for an organisation, our Data Processing Agreement. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we handle personal data; they are information we owe you, not terms you are asked to accept.

1.3 Who sells you a paid plan. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. You buy a subscription from Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle") under Paddle's buyer terms, and we provide the Service to you under these Terms. Paddle handles payment, receipts, sales tax and refunds; we never see or store your card details.

1.4 Consumers and organisations. If you use the Service for a business, profession or organisation, you accept these Terms for it and confirm you may bind it; "you" then includes it. Some protections in these Terms, and in the law, apply only to consumers - people using the Service for their own personal purposes. The country terms in section 22 apply where you live.

2. The Service

2.1 What it does. Cusentra Mail is an email client and assistant for a Gmail mailbox you already have. It connects with a Google app password you create, keeps a working copy of your mail so the inbox is fast, sorts mail into categories and flags what needs attention, and offers AI features: summaries, drafted replies in your writing style, a chat about your mailbox, the Launch Agent and suggestions for your rules. Your Gmail mailbox remains the system of record: the copy we keep is described in the Privacy Policy, and it never replaces your mailbox.

2.2 Sorting uses rules, not AI. Categories and detections run on rules you can see and change. That matching never calls an AI model and never sends your mail to anyone.

2.3 You stay in control of what is sent. The Service never sends an email unless you press Send - for a reply, a forward, a new message or a batch of drafts from the review queue. Automations you set up can prepare drafts and summaries for you to review, and an arrival rule you create can post the envelope of a new email (sender, subject, date and a link, never the body) to your own Slack, Microsoft Teams or Discord, or save it as a note in your own Notion, Google Docs or OneNote. Nothing is sent anywhere else on its own.

2.4 Plans. There is a Free plan and paid plans (Starter at $15/month, Pro at $29/month), each with weekly allowances described on our pricing page. When an allowance runs out that feature pauses until it resets; you are never charged more.

3. Who can use it

  • You must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher (19 in South Korea, for example), and able to make a binding contract.
  • You must have the right to connect the mailbox you connect: your own, or one your organisation has authorised you to use.
  • You may not use the Service if you are in Russia or mainland China, or in a country or region under comprehensive sanctions (today Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and the occupied Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine), or if you are named on a sanctions list of the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States or India.

4. Your account

  • Give accurate details and keep them up to date.
  • Keep your Cusentra Mail password and your Google app password to yourself. We recommend 2-Step Verification on your Google account. You can revoke the app password at Google at any time, which disconnects the Service from your mailbox at once.
  • An account is for one person. Do not share your sign-in or sell access to the Service.
  • Tell us straight away at danish@cusentra.com if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what happens in your account unless it happened because we failed to keep it secure.

5. Your mailbox and the services you connect

Your use of Gmail stays subject to Google's terms. When you connect another service - Notion, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Drive, Docs or Calendar, OneNote - its own terms and privacy policy apply to it, we send it only what a feature you set up sends, and you can disconnect it at any time under Connections. We are not responsible for those services, and when one is unavailable a feature that depends on it may not work. How we use data we receive from Google is set out in the Privacy Policy, including Google's Limited Use requirements.

6. Paid plans, payment and renewal

6.1 Renewal. A paid plan is a monthly subscription. It renews automatically every month, on the date you first paid, and is charged at the price shown at checkout (with any tax Paddle adds) until you cancel. Once a year we email you a reminder that it renews and how to cancel.

6.2 Cancelling and withdrawing. You can cancel at any time with the Cancel contracts here button on the Plans page or on our Withdraw or cancel page, in Paddle's portal at paddle.net, or by emailing us. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep the plan to the end of the period you paid for. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, counted from your first payment: within those days, Withdraw from contract here ends the plan and refunds every payment in full. The full rules, including when else we refund, are in the Refund Policy.

6.3 Changing plans. You can move between paid plans at any time. An upgrade is charged pro rata for the rest of the current period and a downgrade is credited pro rata against the next bill; the exact amount is shown before you confirm.

6.4 Price changes need your agreement. If we want to raise the price of your plan, we email you 30 days before the new price would first apply and ask you to accept it. If you do not, your plan carries on unchanged to the end of the period you have paid for and then ends, and you are never charged a new price you did not agree to.

6.5 Failed payments. If a renewal cannot be collected, Paddle retries it. Your plan lasts to the end of the period you last paid for; after that the account carries on on the Free plan.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service, or let anyone else use it, to:

  • send spam, bulk unsolicited messages, phishing or malware. You are the sender of every email you send through the Service, and you are responsible for following the laws on electronic marketing that apply to you (for example CAN-SPAM in the US, CASL in Canada, and the GDPR and ePrivacy rules in Europe and the UK);
  • harass, threaten, defame or exploit anyone, or impersonate anyone, including by using AI drafts to deceive people unlawfully;
  • infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy, or process other people's personal data in a way the law does not allow;
  • make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on people - about employment, credit, housing, insurance, education or access to services - based on AI output without a person reviewing them;
  • break into, probe, scan or test the Service or any other system, except as our Security page allows for reporting a vulnerability;
  • get around plan allowances, rate limits or the protection of other users' data, or overload the Service;
  • copy, scrape or resell the Service, reverse engineer it except where the law allows that despite this rule, or use it or its output to build a competing AI model;
  • break the usage policies of the AI providers whose models power the Service (OpenAI's usage policies and Google's Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy, which bind our use of them);
  • store or send anything illegal, including child sexual abuse material, which we report to the authorities; or break any law, or your mail provider's terms.

If you break these rules we may limit a feature, suspend your account or end it, as section 15 explains. We act in proportion to what happened and tell you why, unless the law or someone's safety prevents it.

8. AI features

  • AI can be wrong. Summaries, drafts, chat answers and rule suggestions are produced by AI models and may be incomplete, out of date or simply wrong. Read them before you send or act on them. They are not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.
  • You decide what is used. AI text is shown to you - as a generated response, a summary or a chat answer - before you choose to use it, and nothing it writes is sent without your Send. An email you send is yours, whoever drafted it.
  • You can switch AI off. AI features read your consent first. Turned off under Settings, Privacy, the mail client carries on working: sorting, detections, search and your mailbox never need a model.
  • No training on your mail. We do not use your mail to train or fine-tune AI models, and the AI providers we use do not train their models on what we send them (Privacy Policy).
  • What you get back is yours. As between you and us, you own what you put in and the text the AI writes for you, to the extent the law allows anyone to own it.

9. Your content

Your mail, attachments, notes, rules and everything else you bring to the Service stay yours. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, copy, process, transmit and display that content only to provide, secure and support the Service for you, as the Privacy Policy describes, for as long as you use the Service and the retention periods it states. We do not use it to advertise, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train AI models. If you send us feedback or a suggestion, we may use it to improve the Service without owing you anything for it; that never covers your content.

10. Our software

We and our licensors own the Service, its software, design and brand. While you use the Service we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use it as these Terms allow. Open-source parts are licensed under their own terms (for example the PDF preview library, Apache 2.0, and the landing page's font, SIL Open Font License).

11. Privacy and data protection

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why, where it is stored (the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany)), who helps us process it, and your rights. If you use the Service for an organisation, our Data Processing Agreement applies automatically and governs how we process personal data in your mail on your behalf.

12. Services we rely on

The Service depends on others: Google for Gmail and sign-in to your connected Google services, Paddle for payments, our hosting and database providers, and the AI providers named in the Privacy Policy. We choose them carefully and are responsible to you for the Service, but we cannot control their availability, and a change they make may force a change in ours (section 14).

13. Availability and support

We work to keep the Service available and fast, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may pause it briefly for maintenance. If a fault on our side stops your paid features for a long time, the Refund Policy gives money back. Support is by email at danish@cusentra.com; we acknowledge within 48 hours.

14. Changes to the Service

We may change the Service for valid reasons: to keep it secure, to comply with the law or a regulator, because a provider we rely on (Google, Paddle, an AI provider) changes what it offers, to improve features or performance, or to stop a feature few people use. If a change materially reduces what a paid plan you hold gives you, we tell you by email 30 days before it takes effect (unless security or the law requires faster action), and you may cancel without charge within 30 days of that notice and get a refund for the unused part of the period you paid for. A change that only adds or improves needs no notice.

15. Suspension and ending the agreement

15.1 You can stop at any time: cancel your plan (section 6.2), or delete your account under Connections, which deletes your data as the Privacy Policy describes and cancels a paid subscription at once.

15.2 We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms (especially section 7), if a payment you owe is not made, if the law or a court requires it, or if your account puts the Service or other people at risk. Where we can, we warn you first and give you time to put things right. We may also stop offering the Service altogether, for any reason, with at least 30 days' notice. A Free account nobody has used for two years is deleted, after an email warning at least 30 days ahead, as the Privacy Policy explains.

15.3 Afterwards. If we end your account for any reason other than your breach of these Terms, we refund the unused part of the period you paid for and give you at least 30 days to download your data first, unless the law forbids it. Sections that by their nature should last - such as 9, 16, 17 and 19 - survive the end of the agreement.

16. What we do not promise

Apart from what these Terms say and what the law guarantees you, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we do not give other warranties, such as that the Service is fit for a particular purpose or that AI output is accurate. Nothing in this section limits a right a consumer has by law that cannot be limited - those rights always apply.

17. Liability

17.1 What we never limit. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for harm caused intentionally or by gross negligence, under product liability law, for our duty to give the refunds in the Refund Policy, or for anything else the law does not allow to be limited.

17.2 For consumers. We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence, or we both knew it might happen when you started using the Service. We are not responsible for losses you suffer in a business you run. The country terms in section 22 add to this where your law says so.

17.3 For organisations. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business or goodwill.

17.4 The cap. Subject to 17.1, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and US$100.

17.5 Your mailbox. Your mail lives in your Gmail mailbox, which we do not replace. Deleting a message in the Service deletes it in Gmail, as with any mail client, so take care with delete-forever actions.

18. Disputes, governing law and courts

18.1 Talk to us first. If you have a complaint, please write to us (section 23). We acknowledge within 48 hours and try to resolve it within 30 days. Neither of us goes to court during those days unless something urgent or a time limit makes it necessary.

18.2 Law and courts. These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute about them or the Service.

18.3 If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there; we can only bring a claim against you in the courts of the country where you live. We do not use arbitration, and nothing in these Terms stops you joining a claim with others where your law allows it.

19. Sanctions and export

You must not use the Service in breach of sanctions or export control laws, including those of the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and India, and you may not make it available to anyone those laws forbid.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for valid reasons: a change in the law or a regulator's guidance, a change to the Service (section 14), a new feature, security, or to make them clearer. If a change is worse for you, we email you 30 days before it takes effect, explaining what changes. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and cancel before then, and we refund the unused part of the period you paid for. If you keep using the Service after the date, the new Terms apply - except a price rise, which needs your agreement (section 6.4). Changes that are not worse for you can apply at once. The date at the top always shows the current version.

21. General

  • Whole agreement. These Terms and the documents in section 1.2 are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
  • If a part is invalid, the rest still applies.
  • Not enforcing a right straight away does not mean we give it up.
  • Transfer. You may not transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer it to a company that takes over the Service, and we will tell you; if you object, you may cancel and get a refund for the unused part of the period you paid for.
  • Events beyond control. Neither of us is responsible for a delay or failure caused by something outside reasonable control. If it stops the paid Service for more than 30 days, you may cancel and get a refund for the unused part.
  • Notices. We contact you at your account's email address and, for legal notices, from our notice address; you contact us at the addresses in section 23.
  • Language. These Terms are written in English. If we provide a translation and the two differ, the English version applies, unless the law where you live says the local language version must.
  • Nobody else can enforce these Terms, except Paddle for the parts that concern its role.

22. Country terms

If you live in one of these places, these terms also apply to you, and they prevail over anything above that says otherwise.

European Union, EEA and Switzerland

  • Withdrawal. As a consumer you may withdraw from a contract for a paid plan within 14 days of making it, without giving a reason. Use the Withdraw from contract here button, the form below, or any clear statement sent to danish@cusentra.com. On your first subscription the money-back guarantee refunds every payment in full. On a later one, if you asked for the Service to start before the 14 days ended, we may keep an amount in proportion to what you received up to your withdrawal; otherwise we refund in full. Refunds are made within 14 days of your withdrawal, to your original payment method, at no cost to you.
  • Conformity. The Service must match these Terms and what we say it does, for as long as you have it. If it does not, you have the legal remedies for digital services: to have it brought into conformity, and if that fails, a price reduction or to end the contract.
  • We are not obliged and do not offer to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board; the courts of your country remain open to you.

Model withdrawal form (complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract): To Danish Shah, trading as Cusentra Mail, danish@cusentra.com: I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the provision of the following service: Cusentra Mail subscription. Ordered on: ... Name: ... Address: ... Date: ...

Germany

  • Instead of section 17.2-17.4, we are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one whose fulfilment makes the contract possible and on which you may rely), and then only for the damage typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract.
  • The cancellation button required by section 312k of the German Civil Code is Cancel contracts here on the Plans page and the Withdraw or cancel page; it asks only for what identifies your contract and confirms with Cancel now.

United Kingdom

  • The Service must be provided with reasonable care and skill and as described. If it is not, you can ask us to put it right or, if we cannot, for some or all of your money back (Consumer Rights Act 2015). You may withdraw within 14 days as described for the EU above.
  • Our cap in section 17.4 is never less than the price you paid.

United States

  • Before you subscribe, the checkout states the price, that the plan renews monthly until you cancel, and how to cancel; we confirm by email after purchase (Paddle's receipt), and you can cancel online at any time without contacting anyone.
  • Some states do not allow certain limits on liability or warranties, so parts of sections 16 and 17 may not apply to you, and you may have other rights. Nothing here limits a right you have under your state's consumer protection law.
  • California: under Civil Code section 1789.3, the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210.

Australia and New Zealand

  • Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies those guarantees. Where the Service is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability for failing a guarantee is limited, where the law allows, to supplying the services again or paying for them to be supplied again.
  • In New Zealand, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies to you as a consumer; if you use the Service for a business, you agree it does not.

Canada and Quebec

  • If you live in Quebec, a change to these Terms or to the Service under sections 14 and 20 is notified to you in writing 30 days before it applies, describing the new clause and the old one, and you may cancel the contract without cost or penalty by giving notice within 30 days after the change applies. Clauses the Consumer Protection Act does not permit do not apply to you.
  • These Terms are available in English today; a French version will be published and will then prevail for consumers in Quebec.

India

  • The seller of a paid plan is Paddle.com Market Ltd, our reseller (section 1.3); the Service is provided by Danish Shah, trading as Cusentra Mail. Prices are shown with the tax that applies before you pay. Complaints go to our Grievance Officer (section 23), who acknowledges within 48 hours and resolves within 30 days, and you keep every right under the Consumer Protection Act 2019.

Brazil

  • You keep every right under the Consumer Defence Code, including withdrawal within 7 days of an online purchase - which our 14-day guarantee already exceeds.

Japan

  • Disclosures under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions: the seller is Paddle.com Market Ltd (our reseller) and the service provider is Danish Shah, trading as Cusentra Mail, contact danish@cusentra.com; the prices are on the pricing page, with tax shown at checkout; payment is taken by Paddle when you subscribe and on each monthly renewal; the Service is available as soon as payment is confirmed; cancellation and refunds are as in the Refund Policy. We will give our telephone number and the name of our representative without delay on request.
  • Where these Terms limit our liability, the limit does not apply to damage caused by our intent or gross negligence.

South Korea

  • You may withdraw within 7 days under the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, which our 14-day guarantee already exceeds; and a price rise for your subscription applies only with your express consent (section 6.4).
