Terms and Conditions

1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Ventana platform (the "Service"), operated by Ventana LLC ("we," "us," or "Company"), you ("Customer," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

2 Description of Service

Ventana is a white-label customer portal platform that provides businesses with a branded interface to their Zoho ecosystem. The Service is delivered on a managed basis, meaning Ventana builds, configures, and maintains each portal on behalf of its customers.

3 Account Registration

You must provide accurate and complete information and are responsible for maintaining account security. You must notify us of any unauthorized use.

4 Free Trial

Ventana offers a fifteen (15) day free trial with full functionality and no payment required. After the trial, a paid subscription is required to continue access.

5 Pricing and Fees

Consulting & Customization

Additional work beyond the standard platform is billed hourly at a pre-agreed rate. These services are optional and scoped in advance.

6 Third-Party API Usage

The Service connects to and communicates with your Zoho ecosystem (including but not limited to Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho WorkDrive, and Zoho Desk) through application programming interfaces ("APIs"). All API calls made by the Service on your behalf consume your Zoho API credits, as allocated under your Zoho subscription plan.

Ventana does not provide, subsidize, or otherwise bear the cost of any third-party API credits consumed through your use of the Service. You are solely responsible for maintaining a sufficient allocation of API credits under your Zoho account to support the Service's operation.

If your API credits are exhausted, certain features of the Service may become unavailable or experience degraded performance. Ventana is not liable for any loss of functionality, data synchronization delays, or service interruptions resulting from insufficient API credits on your Zoho account. It is your responsibility to purchase additional API credits or upgrade your Zoho plan as needed to ensure uninterrupted use of the Service.
