Definitions
The words "we", "us", "our" in these Terms of Service refers to the creators of this community; which includes Sabu Francis and the four additional moderators appointed by him.

The word "Member" refers to that person who has taken an account in this system.

The word "panelist" is such a member who has been accorded a special badge by us. The rules for earning such a badge is described in our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) We reserve the right to remove the badge of any panelist from a member's profile, in case the said panelist did not make corrections or continue to disagree to any of our requests; beyond three times.

Contents
None of the contents from this community system can be reused without a written permission from us and/or the concerned member whose contents you want to copy.

All contents appear here through a process of "crowd-sourcing" with no real central control or direction. That means, each member is not guided or biased in any manner by the creators of this community. Each member has complete freedom to write what he or she deems correct with the only condition that they have to adhere to the guidelines mentioned here.

There is no guarantee of the correctness of any of the content here.

However, do let us know via direct message to one of the moderators in case you see anything that is incorrect. We respect all verifiable take-down notice for unlawful use of verifiable copyrighted content.

All advice given here (paid or otherwise) are based on best effort by the member or members who provided the advice. We do not have any legal binding to support any advice or content given here. Please use your own discretion.

We are not liable to any direct or indirect consequence of anyone using the information placed in this system.

Almost all the "spaces" where discussions happen in this community are placed free of cost and can be used by the members free of cost too; except for one where we charge money for placing an advice request.

Charges at the AEC Advisory space:
We charge some money on AEC Advisory space for letting any member place an advice request there. The moderators will make their comments based on the replies given by one or more of the panelists who answered the advice request.

We would send the collected money, to the chosen panelist (or panelists) after deducting an operating expense of 15% and all applicable taxes, once all the following conditions are met:

a) once the amount due to that panelist reaches Rs 1000/- (Indian Rupees) or more;
and
b) at least 30 has passed after the first time the moderators' comments were added for the said advice.

The payment will done either as credits added to the selected panelist/s or the money will be paid to their Indian UPI handle -- so only Indians are allowed to become a panelist here.

We have no means to verify the correctness of the UPI handle entered by any member on their profile. It is hereby assumed that the member is responsible for entering the correct UPI in his or her profile.

If the member who placed the advice utilized the free credits we had given for part/full of the charges levied, the same will not be counted for the payment to be made to the selected panelist/s.

Refund policy
Money charged here; such as the amount we charge for placing an advice request, will usually not be refunded. We have a detailed question answered in the FAQ regarding Refunds.

NOTE: Any FREE credits given to any member are non-refundable. Neither are they convertible to actual money for the member to withdraw.
