These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website www.manojprabhu.com (“Website”), operated by Manoj Prabhu & Associates, a firm of Chartered Accountants based in Gurugram, India (“the Firm”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, visitors acknowledge the applicability of these Terms, subject to any mandatory rights and protections available under applicable law.
Users who do not agree with these Terms should refrain from using the Website or any optional digital facilities subject to them.
These Terms concern use of the Website and do not replace any separate written engagement letter, professional arrangement or other agreement entered into with the Firm.
2. Purpose and Scope of the Website
The Website provides general information concerning the Firm, its professional practice, service areas, contact arrangements, publications and other information or facilities made available from time to time.
The Website may also provide access to enquiry forms, recruitment information, professional resources or authorised digital facilities.
Availability of any particular feature or information does not constitute a representation that the corresponding service is available to every visitor or that the Firm has accepted any proposed assignment.
The nature, scope and availability of professional services remain subject to applicable law, professional requirements, relevant circumstances and the Firm's acceptance of an engagement.
3. General Information — No Professional Advice
Information made available on this Website is intended for general informational purposes.
It should not be treated as professional advice directed to any particular individual, organisation or transaction.
Taxation, accounting, auditing, corporate and regulatory matters depend on relevant facts, applicable laws, professional standards and the circumstances of the specific matter.
Visitors should obtain appropriate professional advice before taking or refraining from action based on information appearing on the Website.

4. No Professional Engagement or Client Relationship
Accessing the Website, reviewing its content, submitting an enquiry or communicating through an online form does not, by itself, establish a Chartered Accountant–client relationship or constitute the Firm's acceptance of a professional engagement.
Professional engagements are undertaken only after the relevant scope, responsibilities, applicable requirements and engagement arrangements have been appropriately considered and accepted.
Submission of information or documents through the Website does not automatically establish that the Firm has agreed to act in any matter.
Visitors should not assume that statutory deadlines, filing obligations, legal proceedings or other time-sensitive matters are being monitored or handled by the Firm merely because an enquiry has been submitted.
Where an engagement has been formally accepted, the relevant engagement terms and applicable professional requirements will govern that engagement.
