Terms of Service

Who You Are Contracting With

VidhiSar is operated by Swaraj Layek, an individual proprietor carrying on business in India. There is no company behind the product at present, and we would rather say so here than let a logo imply one. When these terms say "we", "us" or "VidhiSar", that is who is meant. Customer care reaches the same person: infovidhisar@gmail.com, or +91 7810909767 on WhatsApp. A correspondence address for service of notice is available on request at that email, and is supplied within one working day. By creating an account, or by using any part of the service without one, you accept these terms. If you are using VidhiSar for a business, you confirm you are authorised to accept them on its behalf, and "you" means that business as well as yourself.

What VidhiSar Is, and What It Is Not

VidhiSar is software. It answers questions about Indian business law against statutory text, drafts documents from templates, reviews contracts for risk, and tracks statutory deadlines with the exposure attached to each. Everything it produces is generated by a machine from the information you give it.

• We are not a law firm. Using this service does not create an advocate-client relationship between you and us, and nothing it produces is legal advice or a legal opinion. No communication with us attracts legal professional privilege.
• We are not your chartered accountant or company secretary. The compliance calendar, the penalty figures and the filing record are information about what the law provides. They are not certification, and they do not discharge any filing obligation you hold.
• Drafts need review before you rely on them. Every document VidhiSar generates says on its face that it is an AI-assisted draft requiring review by a qualified professional before execution. That is not a formality: a document you sign is your document, whatever produced the first version.
• The law moves, and we may be behind it. Rates, thresholds and dates are stated as at the time of publication and can change with a notification we have not yet reflected. Where a figure matters to a decision, confirm it against the current notification or with a professional.

Advocates and Other Professionals

You can hand a matter to an advocate from any plan, including the free one. What we provide is the introduction and the context — the advocate receives the conversation you have already had, so you do not start again.

• You engage them, not us. Any advocate you are put in touch with acts for you directly. They set their own fee, agree it with you, and invoice you for it. We are not a party to that engagement and we do not receive any share of a legal fee.
• Your subscription does not buy legal services. What you pay us is for this software. No plan includes an advocate's time, and no tier unlocks access to one, because that is not ours to sell or to meter.
• We do not supervise their advice. An advocate is responsible for their own work and owes you their own professional duties. We are not liable for the advice they give, the fee they charge, or the outcome of a matter they conduct.
• The same applies to any other professional. A chartered accountant, company secretary or other adviser you invite into your workspace, or are introduced to, is engaged by you on their own terms.

Your Account

You need to be eighteen or older to hold an account. Keep your login to yourself: anything done through your account is treated as done by you, so tell us promptly at infovidhisar@gmail.com if you think someone else has access to it. A seat is a person you invite into a business — your CA, your HR lead, your advocate — with their own login and the access their role needs. You are responsible for who you invite and for revoking access when it is no longer appropriate. You can close your account at any time from your profile, and we will delete your data on the terms set out in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or close an account that is being used in breach of the section below, and where we do, we will tell you why and refund any unused portion of a paid period.

Plans, Payment and Refunds

Prices are shown on the pricing page in Indian rupees and are charged in advance for the period you choose. Each plan carries a monthly allowance of documents, questions and scans; you can also buy a single document on its own, without a plan.

• No GST is added. We are not registered under GST, so no tax is collected on these prices and no GST invoice is issued. If that changes, the pricing page will say so before you are charged under the new position.
• Renewal and cancellation. A subscription runs until you cancel it. Cancelling stops the next charge and leaves your access in place until the period you have paid for ends.
• Refunds. A single-document purchase is refundable in full if the document failed to generate or was generated wrongly through our fault. For subscriptions, write to us within seven days of a charge if the service has not worked for you and we will refund it. Beyond that we do not refund unused allowance, because the allowance is the thing being sold.
• Price changes. We may change prices, and where we do, the new price applies from your next renewal and never retrospectively. A launch price stated as ending on a date holds until that date for anyone who has already subscribed at it.

How You May Use It

Use VidhiSar for your own business or your clients' work. Do not use it to:

• break the law, or help someone else to
• upload personal data or documents you have no right to share with us — you are the Data Fiduciary for what you put in, and we process it for you
• present its output to a third party as legal advice, as the work of an advocate, or as certified by a professional who has not in fact reviewed it
• resell, sublicense or white-label the service, unless we have agreed that in writing
• scrape it, reverse-engineer it, or run automated volume against it beyond your allowance

Your Documents, and Our Materials

What you upload stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to run the service for you — to store your documents, process them, and produce what you asked for. We do not sell your content, and we do not use the documents you upload to train models. A document VidhiSar generates for you is yours to use, adapt and execute for your own business or your client's. The templates, the software, the compliance data and the name remain ours; a licence to draft from a template is not a licence to redistribute the library.

Availability, Accuracy and Liability

We work hard to keep VidhiSar available and correct, and we do not promise it is either. The service is provided as it stands. We do not warrant that an answer, a figure, a deadline or a generated document is accurate, complete, current, or fit for the particular use you have in mind — which is why every one of them tells you to have it reviewed. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of profit, business, goodwill or data, or for a penalty, interest or adverse outcome arising from a filing you made, did not make, or made late. Where we are liable, our total liability for all claims in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period, or ₹5,000, whichever is higher. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud or for anything the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 does not permit us to contract out of.

Grievance Officer

Complaints about the service, about content on it, or about how your data has been handled go to our Grievance Officer, appointed under rule 3(2) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 and section 13 of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Write in whatever language you are comfortable in — Hindi, English or Hinglish. Tell us what happened and what you would like done about it, and you will get a reply from a person, not a ticket number.

• Grievance Officer — Swaraj Layek
• Email — infovidhisar@gmail.com
• WhatsApp — +91 7810909767
• Acknowledgement — Within 24 hours of receipt
• Resolution — Within 15 days of receipt

Governing Law, and Changes to These Terms

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of competent jurisdiction in India will hear any dispute arising out of them. Before either of us goes to court, we would both rather you wrote to the Grievance Officer above — most of what reaches a dispute could have been settled by an email. We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date, and where a change affects what you pay or what you may do, we will tell account holders directly rather than relying on you to notice.
