The Advisor is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Platform solely for the purpose of providing professional financial planning and advisory services to the Advisor's own clients. The Advisor shall not:

  • Sublicense, resell, or white-label the Platform outputs to third parties without ProKey's prior written consent

Nature of the Platform and Its Outputs

4.1 — Practice Management and Planning Tool

The Platform is a practice management and financial planning tool designed to assist qualified financial advisors in organising client data, generating plan documents, and communicating structured financial information. The Platform does not independently provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or portfolio management services.

4.2 — FHS as a Diagnostic, Not a Plan

The Financial Health Score (FHS) is an indicative diagnostic snapshot designed to support an Advisor's first-meeting conversation with a client. The FHS:

  • Uses standardised model assumptions (not actual market returns or client-specific historical performance)
  • Is not a financial plan, investment strategy, or suitability assessment
  • Does not constitute or substitute for the Advisor's independent professional judgement
  • Should be presented to clients with appropriate contextual explanation by the Advisor

The Advisor is solely responsible for interpreting FHS outputs and determining their relevance and suitability for each client's circumstances.

4.3 — Projections and Model Assumptions

Any projections, corpus estimates, or goal-funding analyses generated by the Platform are based on model assumptions entered by the Advisor. These are illustrative in nature. Actual outcomes will differ based on market conditions, client behaviour, regulatory changes, and other factors. ProKey makes no representation as to the accuracy or achievability of any projected outcome.

4.4 — Responsibility for Client-Facing Use

The Advisor is responsible for reviewing all Platform Outputs before presenting them to clients, ensuring that Outputs are appropriate to the client's profile and risk tolerance, making all disclosures required by Applicable Regulations when using Platform Outputs in client communications, and ensuring that the use of FHS scores or projections in client-facing materials complies with SEBI, AMFI, and FPSB India guidelines.

05

5.2 — ProKey's Data Obligations

ProKey shall process client data entered into the Platform solely for the purpose of providing the Platform's services to the Advisor, not use client data for any secondary commercial purpose including advertising or data monetisation, implement reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect data stored on ProKey's servers, and notify the Advisor of any data breach that materially affects client data within a reasonable timeframe.

5.3 — Local and Offline Data

Where the Advisor uses the Platform in a local-first or offline mode, the Advisor is solely responsible for the security, backup, and integrity of such data. ProKey has no obligation or liability in respect of data stored locally.

5.4 — Data Portability and Deletion

Upon termination of a subscription, the Advisor may export their data in the available export formats for a period of 30 days following termination. After this period, ProKey may delete the Advisor's data from its servers in accordance with its data retention policy. ProKey will not be liable for data loss following termination where the Advisor had the opportunity to export data during this window.
