MOST IMPORTANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The terms that matter most, in plain words.
SEBI requires every research analyst to publish these terms separately from the full agreement, so the points that most affect you are not buried. Read them before you subscribe — subscribing means you accept them.

Clients are advised not to permit the research analyst to execute any trade on their behalf.
Fees are capped by SEBI
The fee charged to a client is subject to the maximum amount prescribed by SEBI and the Research Analyst Administration and Supervisory Body (RAASB) from time to time. This applies to individual and HUF clients.

Assured return schemes are prohibited by law
Any assured, guaranteed or fixed return scheme, or any other scheme of a similar nature, is prohibited by law. No scheme of this nature will be offered to you by us.
If anyone — including someone claiming to represent us — offers you guaranteed returns, that is your signal that something is wrong. Report it to our compliance officer and to SEBI.
We cannot guarantee returns or accuracy
