Terms and Conditions

Last updated 26 July 2026

These terms govern your use of chartford.in and any software tool you download or licence from us. By using the site or a tool, you accept them.

Who we are

What we provide

• Professional services — accounting, taxation, GST, audit and allied services, provided under a separate engagement letter which prevails over these terms.
• Software tools — add-ons and utilities for TallyPrime and Microsoft Excel, offered free or under a paid licence.
• Published articles — general information on tax and compliance.

Software licences

• A paid licence is granted to one named user on one computer. It is personal to you and may not be transferred, resold, sublicensed or shared.
• You may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer or attempt to defeat the activation of our tools.
• Where a free trial is offered, it is limited to one trial per computer.
• Moving to a new computer is fine — write to us and we will move your activation.
• We may suspend a licence obtained by misrepresentation, or used in breach of these terms.

Payment

Prices are shown in Indian Rupees on the relevant product page and are payable in advance through our payment gateway. Applicable taxes are charged as required by law. Access is granted once payment is confirmed.

Refunds

Set out in full in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Information on this site is general

Our articles, notes, calculators and guides are general information about tax and compliance rules. They are not professional advice for your situation, and not investment advice. Figures and rules change with government notifications. Chartford Consultancy is a chartered accountancy firm and is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser. Before acting on anything you read here, engage us or another qualified professional so the facts of your case can be considered.

Software is provided as it is

Our tools are supplied on an “as is” basis. They are aids to your work, not a substitute for review. You remain responsible for checking any figure, statement or return produced with their help before you rely on it or file it. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or compatibility with every version of third-party software.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of a tool or the content of this site is limited to the amount you paid us for that tool in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss of data. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud.

Intellectual property

The content of this site, our note cards, articles and software are owned by Chartford Consultancy. You may read, download and share our published articles and note cards with attribution. You may not resell them or present them as your own.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site or our tools unlawfully, to infringe anyone's rights, to transmit malware, or to attempt unauthorised access to our systems.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Vadodara, Gujarat have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date at the top of this page shows when. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
