Terms & Conditions

IP Shakti Sahayak is an AI-powered platform designed to provide informational and preliminary guidance on Ayurveda-related Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), regulatory requirements, Traditional Knowledge, Biodiversity, and Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS).

The information provided by IP Shakti Sahayak is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, regulatory, medical, or professional advice and does not replace a qualified lawyer, IP professional, or regulatory authority.

The platform uses Artificial Intelligence and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to generate responses. Although the system is designed to provide reliable information, AI-generated responses may contain errors, omissions, or incomplete interpretations.

Where available, responses will include references to official laws, rules, regulations, treaties, government databases, standards, and other authoritative sources. Users are encouraged to verify important information against the original source.

Users are responsible for providing accurate information and for independently verifying the guidance before making legal, regulatory, commercial, or intellectual-property decisions.

The guidance provided is primarily focused on Indian laws, regulations, and institutional frameworks, including the Patents Act, Biological Diversity Act, and Drugs and Cosmetics Act. International perspectives are provided solely for conceptual reference.

The platform does not guarantee any specific legal outcome, patent grant, trademark approval, regulatory license, or compliance certification.

Users should not enter unpublished inventions, trade secrets, proprietary chemical formulations, or other confidential business data into the platform.

Guidance related to Traditional Knowledge (TKDL), Biodiversity (BD Act), and Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) is educational and does not exempt users from statutory obligations.

All content, architecture, software, models, prompts, branding, and materials associated with IP Shakti Sahayak are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

Users agree not to misuse the platform, reverse-engineer its components, introduce malicious code, scrape bulk data, or use it for deceptive legal practices.

The platform may contain links or citations to external websites, government portals, or third-party databases. IP Shakti Sahayak is not responsible for external contents.

In complex, sensitive, or high-risk matters, the platform may suggest human expert consultation. Such suggestions do not constitute a formal endorsement or attorney-client relationship.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IP Shakti Sahayak and its developers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from platform use.

User queries and interactions are processed according to our Privacy Policy. Users acknowledge that queries are processed through AI models for query resolution.

The platform is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. Features may be modified, updated, or temporarily suspended without prior notice.
