1. Introduction
These Buyer Terms govern every purchase made on eBodhya Marketplace by a Buyer, including a Teacher, School, Institution, or individual buying for personal or classroom use. They explain how an Order is formed, what license you receive on purchase, how payment and tax work, when you can get a refund, and what Institution/School bulk-purchase terms apply. They supplement, and should be read together with, the Terms of Service.
2. Definitions
This document uses the shared definitions in Anomaa Studio's canonical definitions list and the Marketplace-specific terms defined in the Privacy Policy Section 2 and Terms of Service Section 2, together with:
- "Seat" — a single named or role-based user slot within a School-Wide or District/Institution License, entitling one individual to access the licensed Digital Product.
- "Purchase Order (PO)" — a procurement document issued by an Institution/School authorizing payment for an Order, used in place of upfront card/UPI payment where we offer PO-based billing.
3. Applicability
These Terms apply to every Buyer, including an individual Teacher purchasing for their own classroom and an Institution/School purchasing in bulk for its staff or students.
4. Legal Entity
eBodhya™ is a trademark owned and used by Anomaa Studio, a sole proprietorship business based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ("Anomaa Studio," "eBodhya," "we," "us," or "our"). Anomaa Studio owns and operates the entire eBodhya suite of platforms, comprising:
- eBodhya Studio — studio.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Marketplace — marketplace.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Schools — schools.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Workspace — workspace.ebodhya.in
(together, the "eBodhya Platforms").
Every account, subscription, order, listing, or agreement created or entered into through any eBodhya Platform is an agreement with Anomaa Studio directly. No eBodhya Platform is owned, operated by, or offered on behalf of any third party, franchisee, reseller, school district, or unrelated entity, unless we state so expressly and in writing. eBodhya™ and the eBodhya logo are trademarks of Anomaa Studio; no license to use them is granted except as expressly permitted in writing.
In this document, "the Platform" means eBodhya Marketplace (marketplace.ebodhya.in) specifically, and "eBodhya" or the "eBodhya Platforms" means the wider suite of products described above. Where this document imposes obligations on "Anomaa Studio," those obligations are undertaken by Anomaa Studio in its capacity as operator of the Platform.
5. Purchase Process and Order Confirmation
You place an Order by adding a Listing to your cart (or selecting "Buy Now") and completing checkout, including payment. Your Order is an offer to purchase on the Listing's stated terms. We (on the Seller's behalf, or directly for an Anomaa Studio-Published Product) accept your Order by sending an order confirmation, which forms a binding contract of sale for that Listing. We may cancel an unconfirmed Order — for example, if a Listing is withdrawn or mispriced — and will refund any payment already taken.
6. License Received on Purchase
Purchasing a Digital Product does not transfer ownership of it to you; it grants you a license to use it within the scope you purchased (for example, a Single-Teacher License, Classroom License, School-Wide License, or District/Institution License). The available license types, permitted and prohibited uses, and duration are set out in full in the Licensing Policy, which you should review before purchasing, since it — not this document — controls what you may do with a purchased Digital Product. Delivery mechanics, download limits, and file-format details are in the Digital Download Policy.
7. Accepted Payment Methods
We accept payment through the methods displayed at checkout, which may include credit/debit cards, UPI, net-banking, and, for eligible Institution/School purchasers, Purchase Order-based billing under Section 11. All card and bank payment data is handled by our Payment Processor as described in the Security Statement; Anomaa Studio does not receive or store your full card details.
8. Taxes and Invoicing
Listing prices are displayed inclusive of applicable taxes (including GST, where applicable) unless stated otherwise. On completing an Order, you will receive an invoice reflecting the price paid and applicable tax. An Institution/School purchaser that requires a GST-compliant invoice with its own GSTIN must provide accurate billing details at checkout or to sales@ebodhya.in before the invoice is issued; we are not responsible for reissuing an invoice due to inaccurate details you provided.
9. Refund Eligibility
Refund eligibility windows, the general rule that digital goods are non-refundable once downloaded or accessed (subject to stated exceptions), the refund process, and chargeback handling are set out in full in the Refund Policy, which governs every purchase you make on the Marketplace regardless of any additional terms a Seller may attempt to impose.
10. Buyer Conduct
As a Buyer, you must: provide accurate registration, billing, and payment information; use a purchased Digital Product only within the scope of your License; not attempt to circumvent platform fees by soliciting an off-platform transaction from a Seller; not post fake or incentivized Reviews; and comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines.
11. Institution/School Bulk-Purchase Terms
An Institution or School purchasing at scale is subject to the following additional terms:
- Seat counts. A School-Wide or District/Institution License specifies the number of Seats purchased. The Institution is responsible for provisioning Seats only to authorized staff or students within its own organization and for reallocating a Seat when a staff member leaves, consistent with the Licensing Policy.
- Procurement / PO-based billing. Where we offer it, an eligible Institution/School may complete an Order against a Purchase Order rather than upfront card/UPI payment, subject to credit and documentation checks and payment terms we specify (typically net 30 days from invoice). We may suspend access under a PO-based Order if payment is not received within the agreed terms.
- Renewal. A Seat-based Subscription Plan or time-bound License renews or expires as stated on the Listing; an Institution should manage its own renewal timeline to avoid a lapse in access for its staff.
- Single point of contact. An Institution should designate an authorized administrator to manage Seat allocation and billing communications with us.
12. AI
The recommendation engine and search ranking described in the AI Usage Policy may influence which Listings you see, but do not alter the terms of an Order you place. You may request human review of an adverse automated decision (for example, an automated fraud flag on your Order) as described in that Policy.
13. Data Processing
Your Personal Data collected in connection with an Order — including purchase history and, for Institution purchasers, bulk-purchase account data — is Processed under the Privacy Policy.
14. Cookies
The Marketplace uses cookies during browsing and checkout as described in the Cookie Policy.
15. Third-Party Services
Payment processing is performed by our Payment Processor; see the Privacy Policy and Security Statement.
16. Security
Keep your Account credentials and payment details secure, and notify us immediately of any unauthorized Order placed on your Account, as described in the Security Statement.
17. Retention and Deletion
Your order and invoice history is retained per the Data Retention Policy regardless of an Account deletion request, as described in the Data Deletion Policy.
18. Intellectual Property
The License you receive on purchase is governed by the Licensing Policy, not by these Terms; general IP ownership is described in the Intellectual Property Policy.
19. Prohibited Activities
You may not use a stolen or unauthorized payment method; resell, sublicense, or redistribute a purchased Digital Product beyond your License; or misuse Buyer-Seller Messaging to solicit an off-platform transaction. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Anomaa Studio's aggregate liability to you under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid for the Order giving rise to the claim, and Anomaa Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for the acts or Content of an independent Seller beyond the remedies in the Refund Policy. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or a right that cannot be waived under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or other Applicable Law.
21. Disclaimer
Listings (other than Anomaa Studio-Published Products) are provided by independent Sellers "as is," and Anomaa Studio does not warrant their curricular accuracy, quality, or fitness for a particular purpose beyond the remedies in the Refund Policy and Digital Download Policy.
22. Termination
We may suspend your Buyer Account for breach of these Terms as described in Section 20 of the Terms of Service. Termination does not affect a License you already validly hold over a previously purchased Digital Product.
23. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Marketplace Buyer Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, the Platform, or the Services (a "Dispute") is governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation for thirty (30) days after one party gives the other written notice of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within that period, it will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a sole arbitrator appointed by Anomaa Studio. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the seat and venue of arbitration will be Bengaluru, Karnataka. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief before a competent court at any time. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration and over any proceeding to enforce an arbitral award.
24. Jurisdiction
Without prejudice to the arbitration agreement above, the Platform is directed at Users in India, and Anomaa Studio makes no representation that the Platform or its Content is appropriate or lawfully available in other locations. Users who access the Platform from outside India do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
25. Changes to These Marketplace Buyer Terms
We may update these Marketplace Buyer Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, Applicable Law, or our practices. We will post the revised version on the Platform with an updated "Effective Date" and, for material changes, will provide reasonable advance notice through the Platform, by email, or by an in-product notice, as appropriate to the change and the audience of the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after the revised Marketplace Buyer Terms takes effect constitutes acceptance of the changes. Where Applicable Law requires your express consent to a change (for example, a material change to how we Process Personal Data of a Child), we will seek that consent before the change takes effect.
