All Service Fees for Legacy Guard, Integrity Guard, Custom Sanctuary and Sovereign Vault are benchmarked against the United States Dollar (USD). To ensure transparency and eliminate "Hidden Charges," the Service Provider presents and invoices fees in the local currency of the Customer’s registered business domicile ("Invoiced Currency") as identified by the ISO Country Code in the Service Provider’s database.

• System-Only Airlock (Monthly Sync): To ensure global consistency, the E-SafeDoc™ Global Price Manifest is synchronized on the 1st of every month at 06:00 IST. This "Airlock" process fetches real-time mid-market rates and secures them within our JSON Vault.
• The De-escalation Buffer (Milled Rates): Pricing is calculated using a Sovereign Safety Valve. We apply a buffer_multiplier (currently 5%) to the raw exchange rate. This "mills" the volatility out of the market, ensuring that customers are not subjected to sudden "Jitters" or price spikes unless a significant "Melt" occurs in the global currency market.
• Quote Stability: Any formal online quote or issued via a "Sovereign Vault" consultation or written proposal is guaranteed for fifteen (15) calendar days. This duration protects the Customer’s internal Procurement and Purchase Order (PO) process from any mid-month market volatility or automated sync updates.
• Billing Cycle Lock: Once an invoice is generated and paid, the exchange rate is Hardened. No retroactive "Currency Adjustment Surcharges" or "Forensic Adjustments" will be applied for that specific billing period (Annual or Bi-Yearly). This ensures total cost predictability for the duration of the subscription.

• The Proforma Sentinel (Payment Challan): Upon order confirmation or successful sandbox validation, the Service Provider shall issue a Proforma Invoice. As a non-tax instrument, this document is valid for exactly three (3) business days. It remains outside the GST portal ecosystem and serves exclusively as the authoritative trigger for the Customer's internal procurement or Purchase Order (PO) sequence.
• The Infrastructure Lock: Provisioning of secure architecture and the mandatory 7-day hardening cycle are strictly contingent upon the verified credit of the full Proforma amount. Activation sequences commence ONLY when funds are successfully realized within the Service Provider’s designated bank account.
• Final Tax Hardening: A formal GST-compliant invoice (Domestic) or a Zero-Rated Export Invoice (International, under LUT ARN: AD200326000279L) will be generated and dispatched ONLY AFTER payment realization. This protocol enforces an absolute 1:1 "Institutional Match" between capital receipt and regulatory tax reporting, ensuring zero-defect compliance.

• Business-Only Restriction: For all regions outside of India, the Service Provider operates strictly as a B2B entity. Access to various plans, including the Sovereign Vault and infrastructure deployment, is contingent upon the provision of a valid Business Tax ID (e.g., VAT, EIN, TRN, or regional equivalent).
• Manual Validation Protocol: The Service Provider will manually validate the Tax Reference Number through official government portals. If the Tax ID is found to be invalid, expired, or fails the Institutional Integrity Check, the Service Provider reserves the right to immediately cancel the Proforma Invoice and suspend the deployment cycle without further liability.
• Tax Responsibility (RCM): International prices are exclusive of local taxes. Under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), the Customer is solely responsible for accounting for and remitting any local VAT/GST/Sales Tax within their own jurisdiction.
• The Proforma Challan: Upon order confirmation, the Service Provider will issue a Proforma Invoice (Digital Challan). This is a preliminary demand for payment and does not constitute a tax-point. It is valid for three (3) business days and serves as the primary document required for the Customer to initiate a SWIFT, Wire, or Bank Transfer.
• Payment Realization Lock: The "Sovereign Vault" deployment and infrastructure hardening will ONLY trigger once the full amount is successfully credited and reflected in the Service Provider’s bank account.
• The Zero-Rated Sentinel: A formal, GST-compliant Zero-Rated Tax Invoice (under LUT) will be generated and dispatched ONLY AFTER successful payment realization. This ensures an exact 1:1 match between inward remittance and tax filings, maintaining total regulatory integrity.

• Statutory GST Levy: All domestic prices are exclusive of statutory GST (currently 18%) under SAC Code 997331. This code specifically reflects the Licensing Services for the right to use the proprietary E-SafeDoc™ SaaS, preferably hosted on the MilesWeb Cloud Computing Infrastructure; the Intellectual Property remains the exclusive asset of the Service Provider.
• Legal Identity Verification: The Service Provider will manually verify the Customer's GSTIN through the official government portal prior to issuing a Proforma Invoice. This ensures the "Place of Supply" is accurately mapped for valid institutional tax reporting.
• Proforma Invoicing (The Digital Challan): Upon verification, a Proforma Invoice will be issued to initiate the payment cycle. This document is a non-tax instrument valid for three (3) business days; it serves exclusively to facilitate your internal procurement and fund transfer.
• The ITC Gateway (B2B): Upon successful payment realization, registered businesses providing a valid GSTIN will receive a formal tax invoice. This document is engineered for seamless GSTR-2B reconciliation, enabling the Customer to claim 100% Input Tax Credit (ITC) against their outward liabilities.
• B2C Provisioning: For individual consumers or unregistered entities (B2C), the 18% GST will be applied as a final cost. These transactions will be reported under the B2C (Others) category, and no tax credit will be available to the end-user.
• Institutional Alignment: Formal GST-compliant Tax Invoices are strictly generated ONLY AFTER payment realization. This protocol ensures an absolute 1:1 match for your company's tax audit trail and institutional transparency.

• Pre-Purchase Validation: To ensure absolute technical alignment, the Service Provider offers a 7-Day Sandbox (Free Trial) and/or a comprehensive Product Demonstration. These facilities allow the Customer to achieve full functional satisfaction and verify all system capabilities prior to the commitment of institutional funds.
• Formal Acknowledgment of Satisfaction: By remitting payment, the Customer formally acknowledges that they have verified and are satisfied with the software’s Sovereign security protocols, non-custodial logic, and performance—regardless of whether they utilized the trial, attended a demonstration, or elected to waive these opportunities.
• No-Refund Finality: Due to immediate, non-recoverable deployment costs—including dedicated server provisioning (Preferably MilesWeb), domain registration, and manual 64-Hexa security hardening—all payments are Final and Non-Refundable. The availability of pre-purchase validation serves as the definitive point of technical acceptance.

• Right to Amend: The Service Provider reserves the absolute right to modify, refine, or introduce Supplemental Clauses to these terms at any time. These adjustments ensure the continued hardening of the service against evolving global tax regulations, shifting financial market conditions, or advanced infrastructure requirements.
• Digital Publication: Any such amendments or refinements shall be deemed effective immediately upon their official publication within the E-SafeDoc™ Digital Portals.
• Continued Alignment: Continued use of the Service or the initiation of a new Proforma Sentinel sequence following such updates constitutes the Customer's formal acceptance of the most current Institutional Terms and Conditions.
