Software Licence
GreenBaskeet runs on proprietary software owned and licensed by Lacspace Corporation Pvt. Ltd.. This page sets out what that licence grants, what it forbids, and the Indian law it rests on.

01In short
Licensed, not sold.
The GreenBaskeet platform — its source code, design, database schemas, AI models and content — is the exclusive property of Lacspace Corporation Pvt. Ltd.. Operating the service does not transfer ownership of any part of it. The licence is limited, revocable, and granted for internal business use only.If you are a customer buying groceries, this page does not affect you — your agreement is the Terms of Service. This page matters to anyone operating, integrating with, auditing or considering copying the platform.
02Who owns this software
Lacspace Corporation Pvt. Ltd. is an AI-powered software engineering company established in 2021, incorporated in India, with offices across Nagpur, Delhi, Patna.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Legal entity | Lacspace Corporation Pvt. Ltd. |
| Incorporated in | India |
| CIN | U46511DL2025PTC079972 |
| Established | 2021 |
| Licensor of | GreenBaskeet platform — API, storefront, mobile app, operations console |
GreenBaskeet is the licensee and the operator of the service. The two are separate parties: Lacspace owns and licenses the software, GreenBaskeet runs the grocery business on top of it.
03What the licence covers
“The Properties”, in the language of the Lacspace Master Licence, means everything below — not merely the parts you can see.
- Source code across every surface: the REST API, the customer storefront, the mobile application and this operations console.
- Database schemas, migrations, seed data and the data model itself.
- User interface design, layout systems, component libraries, iconography and the design tokens behind them.
- AI and machine-learning models, prompts, weights, and the pipelines that train or serve them.
- Documentation, runbooks, deployment scripts and infrastructure-as-code.
- APIs, their schemas, and the responses they return.
Trade marks are separate. The GreenBaskeet name and logo belong to GreenBaskeet; the Lacspace name and marks belong to Lacspace Corporation Pvt. Ltd.. Neither licence grants any right to use the other party’s marks.
04What the licence grants
Under §6 of the Master Licence, Lacspace grants a licence that is limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable, for internal business use only, conditional on continued compliance and payment.
- Run the platform to operate the GreenBaskeet business.
- Use it within the licensed seat count and edition limits.
- Use outputs of the AI features for lawful business purposes (§16).
- Use it lawfully and in line with the Acceptable Use Policy (§10).
What the grant explicitly excludes
The licence “confers no right to resell, white-label, or build a competing service.” Operating the platform is not the same as owning it, and the right to use it ends when the licence does.05What it prohibits
§11 of the Master Licence restricts the following. These are absolute.
- No redistribution. Resale, sublicensing, leasing, lending or redistribution of the software in any form.
- No reverse engineering. You may not “reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to reconstruct source code”, nor circumvent technical protections.
- No derivative works without explicit written consent.
- No competing product. The software may not be used to build, train or benchmark a competing service or model.
- No unlawful use. Nothing “illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, malicious, or unethical”.
- No scraping or unauthorised API access. Automated extraction of data or bypassing of rate limits and authentication.
Breach terminates the licence automatically under §28, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy.
06Not open source
No open-source licence applies to this software.
Per §4 of the Master Licence: “Under no circumstances is any Lacspace proprietary software provided under an MIT, GPL, Apache, or any other open-source licence.”Publication of code — in a private repository, a deployment artefact, or a JavaScript bundle a browser downloads — does not place it in the public domain and confers no licence. The absence of a copyright notice on a file does not waive copyright, which subsists automatically under §13 of the Copyright Act, 1957.
Open-source dependencies bundled with the platform keep their own licences and are unaffected — see §8.
07Your data stays yours
§18 of the Master Licence is unambiguous: “You own your Customer Data. We claim no ownership of it.” Lacspace processes it only to provide the service, never for its own purposes, and never to train models for other customers.
Tenant isolation is structural rather than procedural — every record carries a tenant, and the platform runs one database per application inside the shared cluster, so a query cannot accidentally cross a boundary.
Feedback is the one exception (§5): suggestions you send about the product may be used and incorporated freely, without compensation. That covers ideas about the software, and expressly not your customer data.
How personal data is handled is set out in the Privacy Policy.
08Third-party components
The platform is built on open-source components — among them Node.js, Express, MongoDB drivers, React, Next.js, React Native and Expo — each governed by its own licence, principally MIT and Apache 2.0. Those licences continue to apply to those components, and nothing on this page overrides them.
What is proprietary is the original work: the application code, schemas, design system, models and documentation written by Lacspace. A proprietary application built with open-source libraries does not become open source, and the permissive licences those libraries use expressly allow this.
09The Indian legal framework
Software in India is protected primarily by copyright and contract rather than by patent. These are the instruments this licence relies on.
| Statute | What it does here |
|---|---|
| Copyright Act, 1957 | A computer programme is a “literary work” under §2(o). Copyright subsists automatically on creation — registration is optional and not a precondition. §14(b) reserves to the owner the rights to reproduce, adapt, distribute and commercially rent the programme; §51 makes unauthorised exercise of those rights an infringement, with civil and criminal consequences under §§55 and 63. |
| Patents Act, 1970 | §3(k) excludes “a computer programme per se” from patentability. This is precisely why the protection here is copyright plus contract rather than a patent grant — and why the contractual restrictions in §5 above carry the weight they do. |
| Indian Contract Act, 1872 | Makes the licence enforceable as an agreement. Acceptance by conduct — deploying and operating the software — binds the licensee just as a signature would. |
| Information Technology Act, 2000 | Recognises electronic records and digital acceptance (§§4 and 10A), so a click-through or deployment-based acceptance is valid. §43 provides remedies against unauthorised access, downloading, or damage to computer source code; §65 makes concealing or altering source code an offence. |
| Trade Marks Act, 1999 | Protects the GreenBaskeet and Lacspace names, logos and get-up. The software licence grants no trade-mark rights. |
| DPDP Act, 2023 | Governs personal data flowing through the platform. GreenBaskeet is the Data Fiduciary; Lacspace acts as a Data Processor on its instructions. |
| Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 | Governs the arbitration mechanism in §13 below. |
10Built for Nagpur, Maharashtra
GreenBaskeet was designed and built for Nagpur, Maharashtra — the city the brand is headquartered in and the market the platform was specified around. That is not incidental to the software; it is written into it.
- Serviceability is geographic. Dark stores carry a Nagpur pincode set and a service radius, and orders are routed to the nearest store that can actually reach the address.
- Money is Indian. Amounts are integer paise end to end, prices are displayed in the Indian numbering system, and no floating-point value ever touches the money path.
- Pricing is compliant. MRP is stored and displayed alongside the selling price, and the platform will not sell above it — the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 requirement, enforced in code.
- Catalogue and language. Categories, units and product data follow Indian retail conventions, and content is written in Indian English.
- Data stays in India. Databases and object storage are hosted in the Mumbai (ap-south-1) region.
Lacspace maintains a presence in Maharashtra alongside its other offices, which is how the platform is supported in the market it serves.
11Term, termination and exit
The licence runs while the agreement is in force and payment is current. Under §28 it terminates automatically on breach, and Lacspace may suspend or terminate for non-payment, Acceptable Use Policy violations, legal risk, or for convenience on reasonable notice.
On termination the right to use the software ends and copies must be discontinued. §29 provides a limited post-termination window to export Customer Data; after that window the data may be deleted. Exporting before the window closes is the licensee’s responsibility.
12Warranties and liability
§30 provides the software “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, and expressly disclaims implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
§31 caps liability: total aggregate liability for all claims “shall not exceed the total amount you paid for the applicable licence in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.” Consequential, incidental and indirect damages are excluded entirely.
Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited under Indian law.
13Governing law and arbitration
The Master Licence is governed by the laws of India, and under §36 the courts at Delhi, India have exclusive jurisdiction. §37 refers any dispute not resolved between the parties to arbitration seated in Delhi and conducted in English, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
This is not the same forum as the Terms of Service.
Consumer disputes about an order are governed at Nagpur, Maharashtra under the Terms of Service. Software licensing disputes between GreenBaskeet and Lacspace are governed at Delhi, India. They are separate agreements between different parties.14Enforcement
Unauthorised copying, decompilation, redistribution or use of this software is infringement under §51 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and may attract civil remedies under §55 — injunction, damages and account of profits — as well as criminal liability under §63. Unauthorised access or extraction additionally engages §43 and §66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Lacspace monitors for unauthorised deployments and pursues infringement. If you believe your rights have been infringed by this platform, or you wish to report misuse of it, write to hello@lacspace.com.
