This Disclaimer ("Disclaimer") applies to the website located at www.tdsdesk.in ("Website"), the TDS Desk software application ("Software"), and all related services, tools, features, content, and communications (collectively, the "Services") provided by TDS Desk ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing, browsing, using, or interacting with any part of our Services, you ("User," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Disclaimer in its entirety.
The Services provided by TDS Desk are designed solely as software tools to assist in the preparation and filing of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) returns. The Services do not constitute, and shall not be construed as, professional tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, accounting advice, or any form of professional consultation.
TDS Desk is a technology platform, not a chartered accountancy firm, tax consultancy, legal practice, or financial advisory service. No fiduciary relationship, attorney-client relationship, or professional advisory relationship is created between you and TDS Desk by virtue of your use of the Services.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of all data you input, all returns you file, and all compliance decisions you make. You should always consult a qualified chartered accountant, tax professional, or legal advisor before making any tax-related decisions.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TDS DESK, ITS FOUNDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS, AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "TDS DESK PARTIES") SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
THIS LIMITATION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTORY LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF TDS DESK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE TDS DESK PARTIES EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO TDS DESK DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED INDIAN RUPEES (₹100), WHICHEVER IS LESS.
While TDS Desk endeavors to provide accurate TDS calculations, FVU file generation, PAN verification, and other outputs, we make no representation, warranty, or guarantee — express, implied, or statutory — that any output, calculation, file, report, or data generated by the Software is accurate, complete, error-free, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Tax laws, rates, rules, and regulations are subject to frequent changes by the Government of India, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the Income Tax Department, NSDL, TRACES, and other authorities. TDS Desk may not immediately reflect such changes. You are responsible for independently verifying all outputs against the latest applicable regulations.
The Services may integrate with or provide links to third-party services, including but not limited to TRACES, NSDL, income tax portals, payment gateways, and cloud storage providers. TDS Desk has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, availability, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. Your interaction with third-party services is governed solely by their respective terms and policies.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TDS DESK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the TDS Desk Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of or inability to use the Services; (b) any violation of this Disclaimer, Terms of Use, or applicable law; (c) any data, content, or materials you submit through the Services; (d) any tax liability, penalty, or action by any government authority arising from returns filed using the Software.
TDS Desk is a private software product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of India, the Income Tax Department, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), NSDL, TRACES, or any other government or quasi-government body. Any references to government forms, processes, or regulations are for informational purposes only.
If you are using a beta, pre-release, early access, or development version of the Software, you acknowledge that such versions may contain bugs, errors, and incomplete features. Beta software is provided for evaluation purposes only and should not be relied upon for actual tax filing without independent verification.
TDS Desk shall not be liable for any loss of data, regardless of cause. You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all your data, returns, and files. While we implement reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute safety of your data.
TDS Desk reserves the right to modify, amend, or update this Disclaimer at any time without prior notice. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Website. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Disclaimer.
This Disclaimer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Disclaimer shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
If any provision of this Disclaimer is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
