These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website msmeprime.com (the “Website”) and all advisory, representation, drafting and digital-product services offered through it (collectively, the “Services”) by MSME Prime (“the Firm”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and the Firm. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access the Website or avail any Service. Continued use of the Website after these Terms have been modified constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
The Firm offers specialist advisory and representation services in matters arising before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), Supreme Court of India and related fora, in particular under:
The Firm also offers (i) structured digital products (filing kits, eligibility reports, exposure assessments, limitation checks and similar documents) and (ii) an AI-assisted case-management capability used to produce first drafts of pleadings that are subsequently reviewed by senior counsel before filing or release.
Browsing the Website, sending an enquiry, downloading materials, or purchasing a digital product does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship between you and any advocate of the Firm.
A formal attorney-client relationship is established only on the execution of a written Engagement Letter identifying the matter, the scope of services, the responsible advocate, and the fee. The Initial Consultation creates a limited-scope advisory relationship for the duration of the consultation and the delivery of the written brief; it does not extend to representation in any forum.
To avail any paid Service you must be (a) at least 18 years of age, (b) competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and (c) authorised, if acting on behalf of a body corporate, partnership or other juridical entity, to bind that entity. By transacting on the Website you represent and warrant these matters to be true.
A sixty-minute consultation with a senior NCLT advocate or IBBI-registered Insolvency Professional. Includes review of any notice or documents you provide, a written brief summarising the recommended course of action, and a fixed-fee quote for any further representation. Scheduled within three (3) business days of payment, subject to your availability.
Same-business-day response with a four-hour service-level commitment. Includes immediate review of documents, draft reply to any Section 8, Section 9 or Section 95 notice, a strategy call with a senior advocate, and a full-matter quote within twenty-four hours. The Emergency Response fee is applied as deposit toward the full engagement fee if you proceed to engage the Firm for the matter within fifteen (15) days.
Full fixed-fee representation for any NCLT matter, including CIRP under Sections 7/9/10, mergers under Sections 230–232, oppression and mismanagement under Section 241, struck-off revival under Section 252, voluntary liquidation, NCLAT appeals and related litigation. Scope, deliverables and fees are recorded in a separate Engagement Letter. The ₹25,000 deposit is applied against the full fee.
Stand-alone digital filing kits, reports and reviews available through the Digital Services page (e.g., MSME Samadhaan Filing Kit, Personal Guarantor Exposure Self-Assessment, IBC Limitation & Default-Date Verification, Writ Petition Maintainability Report). These are document-preparation aids produced on the basis of inputs supplied by you. They do not, by themselves, constitute legal advice, a legal opinion under the Advocates Act, 1961, or a substitute for representation.
The quality and timeliness of any Service depends materially on the information and documents you supply. You agree:
The Firm reserves the right to withdraw from any engagement, refund any unearned fee, and decline any future engagement, if it determines in good faith that you have materially misrepresented facts, withheld documents critical to the matter, or are using the Services for any improper purpose.
All representation beyond the Initial Consultation is governed by a written Engagement Letter that sets out the scope, deliverables, fee, payment schedule, billing of disbursements, withdrawal rights, and termination conditions for the specific matter. In the event of conflict between these Terms and an Engagement Letter, the Engagement Letter prevails in respect of the specific matter.
Legal and insolvency proceedings are inherently uncertain. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, opposing positions, judicial discretion, statutory amendments, regulatory action and other factors outside the Firm’s control. The Firm undertakes to apply the standard of diligence and care expected of competent specialist counsel; we do not, and cannot, guarantee any particular outcome, recovery amount, plan approval, admission or dismissal, timeline or success.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Indian law.

On payment of the relevant fee, the Client receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use any document delivered by the Firm (whether a digital product, a pleading or an opinion) solely for the Client’s own legitimate purposes in connection with the matter for which it was prepared. No right is granted to resell, republish, redistribute, sub-licence or use such material for any third party or any unrelated matter.
The Firm treats all Client information and documents as confidential. Communications with advocates of the Firm engaged for representation are additionally protected by privilege under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and by the standards of professional conduct prescribed by the Bar Council of India. Further detail is set out in our Privacy Policy.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Firm, its partners, advocates, employees and associates from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) any breach by you of these Terms or of any Engagement Letter, (b) any misrepresentation by you, (c) your use of the Services in violation of any applicable law, or (d) any claim by a third party that arises from your wrongful conduct in relation to the matter.
The Firm shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by any event beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government restrictions, tribunal closures, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages or strikes affecting court functioning. The Firm will, however, take reasonable steps to inform you of the event and to resume performance as soon as practicable.
The Firm may terminate or suspend any Service immediately if (a) you breach these Terms or an Engagement Letter, (b) you fail to make any payment when due, (c) a conflict of interest arises, (d) you instruct the Firm to take any action that would breach the Bar Council Rules or any other law, or (e) the Firm in good faith determines that continued representation is professionally inappropriate.
You may terminate an engagement at any time by written notice. Fees for work already performed up to the date of termination remain payable; deposits are refunded only in accordance with the Refund Policy and the relevant Engagement Letter.
The Firm and its advocates practise in compliance with the Bar Council of India Rules under the Advocates Act, 1961, including the rules on professional standards, advertising and solicitation.

By accessing the Website you confirm that you are doing so of your own volition to obtain information about the Firm and its Services.
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or with any Service, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to mandatory consumer-protection rules, all disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals at Mumbai, Maharashtra.
Disputes may also be referred, by mutual written agreement, to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, by a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the President for the time being of the Bombay Incorporated Law Society or such other neutral institution as the parties may agree. The seat of arbitration shall be Mumbai and the language English.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a competent court or tribunal, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
The Firm may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified by e-mail to active Clients and by a prominent notice on the Website. The “Last updated” date at the top of these Terms indicates when the latest version became effective. Continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
