Effective starting: August 1, 2017
PayMyVAT.com is a product by Taxviser Consulting Private Ltd (called PayMyVAT from
here onwards).
Here at PayMyVAT, our goal is to help you in automating the entire process of VAT
compliance by building an end to end VAT ecosystem thereby making VAT less taxing.
To do this, we need to keep our products and services running smoothly, quickly, and
without distraction. For this to happen, we need help from you, our users. We need you
not to misuse or abuse our products and services.
To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify such
transgressions, and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy.
Under this policy, we reserve the right to remove content that is inconsistent with the
spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not forbidden by the letter of the
policy. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here verbatim, but it looks or
smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.
You’ll see the word “services” a lot throughout this page. That refers to all websites
owned or operated by PayMyVAT (such as PayMyVAT.com and any related websites,
sub-domains and pages) as well as any hosted services operated by PayMyVAT.
Use your judgment, and let’s be kind to each other so we can keep creating great
things. You can find all the legal fine print at the bottom of this page.>
