Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of this website and any services provided by Astral Studios ("we", "us"). By using the site or signing a proposal with us, you agree to them. These Terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

1. Services

We provide web development, software development, EdTech platform development, personal websites and business monitoring solutions. The exact scope, deliverables, timeline and fees for each engagement are set out in a written proposal or statement of work ("SOW"). If the SOW conflicts with these Terms, the SOW applies.

2. Quotes, fees and taxes

• Quotes are valid for 30 days and are exclusive of GST, which is charged at the applicable rate.
• Invoices are payable within 7 days unless the SOW says otherwise.
• Work may be paused if an invoice is more than 15 days overdue.
• Third-party costs (hosting, domains, paid APIs, licences) are billed to you or paid by you directly.

3. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide content, access and feedback on time, and confirm you have the rights to any material you give us. Delays on your side may move the timeline.

4. Changes to scope

Requests outside the agreed scope are quoted separately and start only after written approval.

5. Intellectual property

On full payment, ownership of the custom code, designs and deliverables made for you transfers to you. We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools and libraries and grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use them within the delivered work. Open-source components remain under their own licences. We may show the project in our portfolio unless you ask us not to in writing.

6. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential and use it only for the project. This survives the end of the engagement.

7. Warranty and support

We fix defects in delivered work reported within 30 days of launch at no cost. This does not cover changes made by others, third-party service failures or new features.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid for the relevant project in the 6 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits or data.

9. Termination

Either party may end an engagement with 15 days' written notice. You pay for work done up to the termination date, and we hand over that work once paid.

10. Website use

You may not misuse this site, attempt unauthorised access, or copy its content for commercial use without permission.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Parties will first try to resolve disputes in good faith within 30 days. Failing that, disputes go to arbitration by a sole arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, seated in our registered city. Subject to this, courts at that city have exclusive jurisdiction.
