Terms & Conditions

These are the same Terms & Conditions shown inside the app (About → Terms & Conditions). By installing or using the app you accept them. When the version changes, the app asks you to accept the new version before you continue.

1. Who we are

BooksOn HSN ("the App") is published by ARISHIMETO Technologies Private Limited (CIN U58200TN2026PTC196842), a company registered in India with its registered office at No. 3/9 (2/9), Flat No. 9, II Floor, Unique Apartment, Nehru Nagar 1st Street, Adyar, Chennai – 600 020, Tamil Nadu, India ("ARISHIMETO", "we", "us").

2. A search aid, not advice

The App only makes it easier to search the HSN/SAC codes and the GST rate notifications issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), and suggests a code, a rate and the notification entry they come from. It is NOT legal, tax, accounting or professional advice, and it is not an official publication of the Government of India. Classification of goods and services and the applicable rate depend on facts that the App cannot know (nature of the supply, packaging, value thresholds, conditions of the entry, the recipient, the place of supply and the date of supply).

3. Your duty to verify

Before you classify a supply, issue an invoice, file a return, claim input tax credit, or take any other decision, you must check the relevant CBIC notification and circular yourself (each rate card cites them) and, where appropriate, consult a qualified professional. Rates, conditions and exemptions change; a rate shown as in force may have been amended, superseded, clarified or struck down after the dataset was published. The dataset version and publication date are shown on the home screen and on every card.

4. The decision is yours

Choosing the HSN/SAC code and the rate for your goods or services is your own decision and your own responsibility. Every suggestion in the App must be confirmed by you from the notification on the government portal (taxinformation.cbic.gov.in) before you rely on it. The App's data is compiled from the notifications and their amendments and may contain errors or omissions; the App does not certify any code or rate.

5. No liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ARISHIMETO, its directors, employees and contributors are not liable for any loss, tax demand, interest, penalty, denied credit, dispute or damage of any kind arising from use of, or reliance on, the App or its data, including from errors, omissions, delays in updating, or unavailability. You use the App entirely at your own risk.

6. Free service; changes

The App is provided free of charge, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We may change, suspend or withdraw the App or the dataset feed at any time without notice.

7. Intellectual property

Statutory texts belong to the Government of India. © 2026 ARISHIMETO Technologies Private Limited · BooksOn®. All rights reserved. BooksOn® is a registered trade mark of ARISHIMETO Technologies Private Limited under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The compilation, structure, curation and software are © ARISHIMETO Technologies Private Limited. You may share rate cards generated by the App for non-commercial reference provided the attribution and disclaimer they carry are not removed.

8. Data and privacy

The App works offline and needs no account. It connects to the internet only:

1. to www.bookson.co.in, to check for and download signed dataset updates (daily on any network, a full new dataset only on Wi-Fi, or when you tap "Check for updates now") and the nationwide due-date extensions (twice a day on any connection); these requests carry no identifier, and the user-agent they send gives only the app version;
2. only if you allow it, to send app-usage statistics (including any star rating you give) and crash reports to Google Firebase, which never include your search text, name or contact details and which you can switch on or off in About → Your data; and
3. to read the Google Play Install Referrer once for attribution.

A BooksOn sign-up request or a suggestion reaches us only if you send it yourself: the App opens your own email app with a message to support@bookson.in filled in, and the message is sent only if you send it from there. Your "About you" details (name, profession, place), the "Prepared by" details (usage statistics note only the profession shown on a share, never the name or firm) and the ratings and suggestions saved in the App stay on this device and are excluded from device backups. "Delete my data" (About → Your data) clears them and resets the App's analytics identifier (the Firebase app-instance ID); to have emails you sent us deleted, write to grievance@bookson.in. Details are in the Privacy Policy at https://www.bookson.co.in/privacy. Grievance Officer: Subramani S, grievance@bookson.in.

9. BooksOn links

Links to BooksOn open the BooksOn website or app, which are governed by their own terms at https://bookson.in/terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu have exclusive jurisdiction. If any clause is held unenforceable the rest remain in force.

11. Contact

ARISHIMETO Technologies Private Limited, No. 3/9 (2/9), Flat No. 9, II Floor, Unique Apartment, Nehru Nagar 1st Street, Adyar, Chennai – 600 020, Tamil Nadu, India. Email support@bookson.in · https://www.bookson.co.in. Terms version 1.3 (1 November 2026).

Use of this website

This website (www.bookson.co.in) describes the App and publishes its policies. It is provided on the same basis as the App: for information only, without warranty, and subject to clauses 2 to 7 and 10 above. The website shows no advertising and runs no Google Analytics. To measure whether visits from our Google ads lead to taps on a Google Play link, it loads the Google tag from Google LLC, which uses Google Ads cookies, but only if you choose Accept in the cookie banner; you can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page. On pages with a video, the thumbnail comes from YouTube, and the video loads only when you press play. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, time and page requested) for security and troubleshooting; see the Privacy Policy. Links to government and store websites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content. This paragraph was last updated on 1 November 2026 (Google tag and cookie banner); that update did not change the App's Terms version.
