Terms of Sale and Licence
Version 1.0 · Effective 25 October 2026
These terms apply when you buy a digital product from beyondtheblackbox.in. The seller is Prashant Bhardwaj, 1006, Tower 9, Skyi Songbirds, Bhugaon, Pune 412115, Maharashtra, India ("we"). By completing a purchase you agree to them.
1. What you are buying
A digital product, such as the AI × DPDP Readiness Kit, delivered as files. The product page describes what is included. Prices are shown in Indian rupees. No GST is charged. International prices are shared on request.
2. Ordering, payment and delivery
You request a product through its page. We email you an invoice with payment details within one working day. Once your payment is received, we email you the product files. If you do not receive them within one working day of paying, email hello@beyondtheblackbox.in with your invoice number and we will resend them.
3. Your licence
We grant the purchasing organisation a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the product for its own internal purposes. You may:
- use, copy and adapt the files within your organisation
- share them with your own advisers, such as your lawyers or auditors, to help them advise you
You may not:
- resell, sublicense, publish or distribute the product or any adapted version of it outside your organisation
- present the product, or a version of it, as your own commercial offering
A Team Licence extends these rights to the group entities named on your order.
4. Not legal advice
Our products are practical readiness tools. They are not legal advice and do not create a lawyer–client relationship. They reflect the law as of the date stated in each product, and laws and regulatory guidance change. Using them does not make an organisation compliant with any law. You remain responsible for your own compliance decisions and should confirm your position with qualified counsel.
Beyond the Black Box is an independent organisation. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Data Protection Board of India or the Reserve Bank of India.
5. Updates
Buyers of the AI × DPDP Readiness Kit receive free updates to version 1.x issued before 13 May 2027, sent to the email used for the purchase.
6. Liability
We provide our products with reasonable skill and care, but we do not guarantee that they are complete, error-free or suitable for every organisation. To the extent the law allows, our total liability arising from a product is limited to the amount you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
7. Refunds
Because our products are digital, we do not offer refunds once the files have been delivered, except in these cases:
- Faulty or wrong file. If a file will not open or is not the product you bought, tell us within 7 days. We will replace it, or refund you in full if we cannot.
- Duplicate payment. If you paid twice for the same invoice, we refund the duplicate in full.
- Not delivered. If you never received working files and we cannot fix it, we refund you in full.
To request a refund, email hello@beyondtheblackbox.in with your invoice number. Approved refunds are paid to the account the payment came from within 7 working days of approval.
8. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Pune have jurisdiction, subject to any rights you have under consumer protection law.
9. Contact and grievances
Grievance officer: Prashant Bhardwaj, hello@beyondtheblackbox.in, 1006, Tower 9, Skyi Songbirds, Bhugaon, Pune 412115, Maharashtra, India. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and aim to resolve them within one month.
