Terms of service

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of this website and set out the general framework applying to services provided by MOJ Consulting Group, First & Second Floor, No. 4/1 and 1/2, Brunton Road, Off M. G. Road, Opposite Old Passport Office, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560025, India.

By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Where you engage us, a signed engagement letter sets out the specific scope, fees and terms of that engagement. If anything in the engagement letter conflicts with these terms, the engagement letter prevails.

2. Use of this website

The content of this website is provided for general information about our services. It is not accounting, tax, legal or any other professional advice, and it must not be relied on as advice about your own circumstances. No client relationship is created by your reading this site or by your submitting an enquiry through it.

You agree not to use this site unlawfully; not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to it or to any system connected to it; not to introduce malicious code; not to scrape, harvest or systematically extract its content; and not to use it in any way that impairs its operation for others.

3. Nature of our services

Our services are limited to bookkeeping and accounting support, payroll processing, GST compliance, TDS and income tax compliance support, internal management reporting, and books clean-up and migration — each as described on our services page and bounded by our scope of services.

We do not provide, and no engagement will extend to: investment, securities or portfolio services; lending, credit facilitation or deposit-taking; insurance or pension distribution or advice; payment, remittance, escrow or foreign exchange services; dealings in virtual digital assets; statutory audit or any assurance or attest engagement; representation before any authority; or legal advice.

We do not receive, hold, pool or transfer client money at any time. Payments arising from our work are authorised and executed by you from your own bank account.

We provide services only to registered business entities. We do not accept individual consumers as clients.

4. Engaging us

An engagement begins only when a written engagement letter is signed by both parties. It records the services in scope, anything expressly excluded, the fee, the billing cycle, the notice period, and the named contacts on each side.

We may decline an enquiry or an engagement at our discretion, including where the work requested falls outside our scope, where we cannot complete the client identification checks we apply, or where accepting would create a conflict.

5. Your responsibilities

Because we work from the records and information you supply, you agree to:

• provide complete, accurate and timely records, documents and information, and tell us promptly if anything you have given us was wrong or has changed;
• grant and maintain the system and portal access we need to perform the work, and to revoke it promptly when it is no longer needed;
• review and approve filings, computations and payment files before they are submitted or executed, within the timeframes we agree;
• authorise and make all payments — statutory dues, salaries and vendor payments — from your own accounts;
• maintain the software licences, subscriptions and registrations required for your own operations; and
• appoint and pay directly any independent auditor, legal adviser or representative you require.

Where a delay or an error results from information that was late, incomplete or inaccurate, or from an approval that was not given in time, we are not responsible for the consequences of that delay or error.

6. Our responsibilities

We will perform the agreed services with reasonable skill and care, to the timetable set out in the engagement letter; keep your information confidential; tell you promptly if we identify an error in our own work and correct it at no additional charge; and tell you if something you need falls outside our scope.

7. Fees, invoicing and taxes

• Fees are those set out in the engagement letter. No fee is published on this website; every fee is quoted in a written proposal specific to your business.
• Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance. Project work is invoiced as set out in its own quote.
• All fees are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax, which is charged in addition at the applicable rate.
• Invoices are payable within seven days of the invoice date by bank transfer to the account named on the invoice.
• Third-party costs — software subscriptions, portal charges, statutory fees, taxes and government dues — are yours and are paid by you directly to the provider or authority.
• Fee revisions are proposed in writing at least 30 days in advance and take effect only if you accept them.
• We receive no commission, referral fee, revenue share or other incentive from any third party in connection with your engagement.

Refunds and cancellations are governed by our refund and cancellation policy.

8. Confidentiality and data

Each party will keep the other’s confidential information confidential and use it only for the engagement. This obligation continues after the engagement ends and does not apply to information that is public through no breach, was already lawfully held, or must be disclosed by law.

Personal data is handled as described in our privacy policy. Where we process personal data on your behalf, we do so on your instructions and under the terms of the engagement letter.

9. Intellectual property

The content, design and layout of this website belong to MOJ Consulting Group and may not be reproduced without permission, other than for your own non-commercial reference.

Your books, ledgers, records, filings and the deliverables we prepare for you belong to you. Our internal templates, checklists, working methods and tooling remain ours, and nothing in an engagement transfers them to you.

10. No warranty of outcome

We give no guarantee of any financial or regulatory outcome. In particular we do not guarantee any tax saving, refund or tax position; the approval or grant of any application, registration or claim by any authority; any level of revenue, profit, cost saving or cash position; or that no query, notice, demand, assessment or penalty will arise.

Our obligation is to perform the agreed work competently and on time from the information you provide. Except as expressly stated in these terms or in an engagement letter, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other warranties, express or implied, are excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings or data; and
• our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement, whether in contract, tort, negligence, statute or otherwise, is limited to the total fees paid by you to us for that engagement in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for interest, penalties or other consequences arising from information that was inaccurate, incomplete or provided late, from approvals not given in time, from payments you did not make or made late, from decisions you took, or from acts or omissions of third parties including software providers and authorities.

12. Suspension and termination

Either party may terminate an engagement on 30 days’ written notice. Either party may terminate immediately on written notice if the other commits a material breach that is not remedied within 15 days of notice, or becomes insolvent.

We may suspend services where an invoice remains unpaid more than 30 days after its due date, having given you seven days’ written notice; or where we are unable to obtain information or approvals essential to the work; or where continuing would in our reasonable view breach applicable law.

On termination, fees are payable for services performed up to the effective date, we complete the current period’s agreed work where practicable, and we provide a handover file at no additional charge. Access we hold to your systems is revoked and our copies of your data are returned or deleted, subject to any retention we are required by law to maintain.

13. Third-party services and links

This website may link to third-party sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, practices or availability. Accounting, payroll and filing platforms used in an engagement are supplied by third parties under their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy or performance.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The current version is always published at this address with the date it took effect. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance. Changes affecting an existing engagement take effect only as agreed in writing with that client.

15. Governing law and disputes

These terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction, save that either party may seek urgent interim relief in any competent court.

Before commencing proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by discussion between senior representatives within 30 days of written notice of the dispute.
