The terms we work under.
These Terms govern your use of taxkitab.com and any services, training programmes or digital publications you obtain from TaxKitab. Where we issue an engagement letter, that document prevails over these Terms.
Reading this website does not create a professional relationship. That arises only on an accepted engagement letter.
1. Who we are
"TaxKitab", "we", "us" and "our" refer to TaxKitab, an accounting, tax and compliance practice established in 2017, with its principal office at Office No. 322, 3rd Floor, Amanora Chambers, Magarpatta Road, Hadapsar, Pune, Maharashtra 411028, India. MSME registration UDYAM-MH-26-0052802.
"You", "your" and "Client" refer to the person or entity using this website or engaging our services.
Services means professional accounting, bookkeeping, taxation, payroll, compliance, advisory and related services; Programmes means training offered under TaxKitab Academy; and Publications means digital guides and books sold through this website.
2. Acceptance and precedence
Using this website constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
Where we issue a separate engagement letter, proposal or service agreement for professional Services, that document prevails over these Terms to the extent of any inconsistency. These Terms apply to everything not covered there.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The version published on this website at the time of your use applies. Material changes affecting an ongoing engagement will be communicated to you.
3. Scope of Services
Services are provided only within the scope set out in the applicable engagement letter or proposal. Anything not expressly included is outside scope.
We do not undertake the following, and no communication should be read as our agreeing to:
- excise duty compliance, liquor licence applications or licence renewals;
- legal representation before courts, or any work reserved to advocates;
- audit or attestation work where we are not eligible to be appointed;
- filings or compliance under the laws of any country other than India, unless expressly agreed in writing.
For clients based outside India, our scope is the India-side work only. Compliance in your home jurisdiction remains your responsibility or that of your local adviser.
Any change to scope takes effect only when agreed in writing, along with any consequent change in fees.
4. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for providing complete, accurate and timely information, records and documents. We are entitled to rely on what you provide without independent verification, unless the engagement expressly includes verification.
You remain responsible for:
- the accuracy and completeness of the underlying records;
- reviewing and approving returns, statements and filings before submission;
- making payment of taxes and statutory dues within the applicable time limits;
- retaining statutory records as required by law.
Where you provide us with access credentials to government portals, banking platforms or accounting software, you are responsible for the authority to grant that access. You should revoke access on termination.
Delay in providing information may make it impossible to meet a statutory deadline. We are not responsible for consequences arising from information supplied late, incompletely or inaccurately.
5. Fees and payment
Fees are set out in the applicable engagement letter or proposal and are agreed before work commences.
Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, government fees, statutory levies and third-party charges, which are payable by you.
Invoices are payable within 7 days of issue. We may suspend Services where fees remain unpaid beyond 30 days.
Fees already earned are not refundable on termination. Work in progress at termination is chargeable.
6. Digital Publications — no refunds
Publications sold through this website are digital products delivered by download. Payment is processed by our payment gateway partner.
All sales of Publications are final. No refunds, exchanges or cancellations are offered once payment is completed. This is stated at the point of payment, and by completing payment you accept it.
Publications are licensed to you for personal, non-transferable use. You may not resell, redistribute, reproduce or share them, in whole or in part, in any form.
Each Publication states inside the edition it reflects. Tax positions change. Publications are general information, not advice on your circumstances, and do not create any professional relationship between us.
7. TaxKitab Academy — Programmes
Enrolment is confirmed only once payment is received and we have confirmed your seat.
Programme fees are non-refundable. Where we cancel a Programme entirely, we will offer a seat in the next available batch or a refund of the fee paid, at your election.
We may change batch dates, timings, mode of delivery or faculty where reasonably necessary. Material changes will be communicated to enrolled participants.
Programme materials are our intellectual property and are provided for your personal learning only. Recording, reproduction or redistribution is not permitted.
Programmes are training. We do not offer or promise placement, employment or any professional outcome. Certificates issued confirm participation and completion only, and are not a professional qualification or licence.
8. Website content
Content on this website — including due dates, thresholds, rates and procedural descriptions — is general information published for the date stated on the relevant page.
Statutory positions change, and extensions and amendments are notified through the year. Content may become out of date after the stated verification date.
Nothing on this website is advice on your specific facts, and reading it does not create a professional relationship between us. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of website content without obtaining advice appropriate to your circumstances.
Where our website links to third-party websites or portals, those are provided for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.
9. Confidentiality
We treat client information as confidential and do not disclose it to third parties except:
- with your consent;
- to our personnel and sub-contractors bound by equivalent obligations, for the purpose of delivering the Services;
- where required by law, regulation, a court or a competent authority.
Confidentiality obligations survive termination of the engagement.
Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may state that you are a client, without disclosing details of the work.
10. Data protection
We collect and process personal data to deliver Services, comply with legal obligations and communicate with you. How we do that is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
For clients outside India, your data may be processed in India. Where the UK GDPR, EU GDPR or another regime applies to you, we will agree the appropriate terms in the engagement documentation.
We retain records for the period required by law and for a reasonable period thereafter.
11. Intellectual property
All content on this website, and all Publications, Programme materials, templates, checklists and working papers created by us, remain our intellectual property.
Deliverables prepared specifically for you under an engagement become yours on payment of the applicable fees, except that our underlying methods, templates and know-how remain ours.
You may not reproduce, republish or commercially exploit our content without written permission.
12. Limitation of liability
We provide Services with reasonable skill and care. We do not warrant any particular outcome, including the outcome of an assessment, appeal, application or refund claim.
We are not liable for:
- consequences of information supplied by you that is inaccurate, incomplete or late;
- changes in law, or retrospective amendments;
- failure, downtime or error of a government portal or third-party platform;
- decisions of any authority;
- indirect, consequential or economic loss, including loss of profit, business or reputation.
Subject to the paragraph below, our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the fees paid by you for the Services in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Any claim must be notified to us in writing within 90 days of the date you became aware of the circumstances giving rise to it.
13. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and costs arising from your breach of these Terms, from information you supplied that was inaccurate or incomplete, or from your use of our deliverables for a purpose other than that for which they were prepared.
14. Term and termination
Either party may terminate an engagement by 30 days written notice.
We may terminate immediately where fees remain unpaid, where we are asked to act in a manner inconsistent with law or professional obligations, or where the relationship of trust has broken down.
On termination we will, on request and subject to payment of outstanding fees, provide a reasonable handover of records and inform you of pending filings.
15. Force majeure
We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, including portal outages, natural events, strikes, civil disruption, or changes in law or government direction.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of India.
The courts at Pune, Maharashtra have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any engagement, and both parties submit to that jurisdiction. This applies equally to clients located outside India.
Before commencing proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through discussion.
17. General
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under an engagement without our written consent. These Terms, together with any engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between us on their subject matter.
