1. Business-use platform
1.1 B2B purpose
The Portal is intended primarily for wholesale and business-to-business transactions.
By using the Portal, you confirm that:
- you are acting for a business or commercial purpose;
- Products are being purchased for resale, distribution, installation, trade or another business use;
- you are legally competent to enter into a contract; and
- you are at least eighteen years old.
1.2 Mandatory statutory rights
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Where a transaction qualifies for protection under mandatory law despite the Portal’s B2B purpose, the applicable mandatory rights will continue to apply.
1.3 No automatic distributorship
Registration, account approval, ordering history or access to customer-specific prices does not automatically grant:
- distributorship;
- dealership;
- territorial exclusivity;
- protected territory;
- sole-selling rights;
- franchise rights;
- agency status;
- minimum supply entitlement; or
- authority to represent or bind us.
Any appointment, territory, primary distributorship or exclusivity arrangement must be contained in a separate written document expressly approved by us.
2. Account application and approval
2.1 Registration information
You may be required to provide:
- business name;
- proprietor, partner, director or company details;

- email address;
- billing and delivery addresses;

- business category;
- authorised-user details; and
- other reasonably required verification information.
2.2 Accuracy
You must ensure that all information submitted is:
- accurate;
- complete;
- current;
- not misleading; and
- lawfully provided.
You must promptly update any change to:
- business constitution;
- GST registration;
- billing address;
- delivery address;
- contact person;
- authorised users;
- mobile number;
- bank information; or
- other material account details.
2.3 Approval discretion
Submitting an account application does not guarantee approval.
We may reasonably:
- verify the information provided;
- request additional information;
- contact the business or authorised representative;
- approve the account subject to conditions;
- assign a customer category;
- limit available features;
- reject an application; or
- suspend approval while verification remains incomplete.
2.4 PAN information
We do not ordinarily require a separate PAN document unless it is reasonably required for tax, accounting, verification or legal compliance.
PAN-related information may nevertheless appear in GST or other statutory business records.
3. Authorised Users
3.1 Authority
The Business Customer is responsible for ensuring that each Authorised User:
- is genuinely authorised;
- uses the account only for business purposes;
- has appropriate authority to submit Orders;
- follows these Terms; and
- does not disclose access credentials or OTPs.
3.2 Binding actions
An Order, instruction, acknowledgement or approval made through an Authorised User’s account will be treated as an action of the Business Customer unless:
- you notified us of unauthorised use before the action occurred; or
- the unauthorised activity resulted from a failure in our systems attributable to us.
3.3 Removal of access
You must promptly remove or request removal of access where an Authorised User:
- leaves your organisation;
- changes role;
- is no longer permitted to order;
- loses a registered device; or
- is suspected of unauthorised activity.
4. Account security
You must:
- keep passwords, OTPs and devices secure;
- not share OTPs or authentication information;
- use only your authorised account;
- notify us promptly of suspected unauthorised access;
- maintain control over registered mobile numbers and email accounts; and
- log out of shared devices.
We may require:
- OTP verification;
- device verification;
- password reset;
- re-authentication;
- business verification; or
- stronger authentication for sensitive actions.
We are not responsible for loss caused by your voluntary disclosure of an OTP, password or account access, except to the extent that the loss was materially caused by our failure to apply reasonable security safeguards.
5. Product information
5.1 Product listings
We aim to provide accurate information concerning:
- Product name;
- SKU;
- category;
- model;
- module size;
- colour;
- pack quantity;
- electrical rating;
- technical characteristics; and
- availability.
5.2 Images and colours
Product images are intended to assist identification.
Actual appearance may vary slightly because of:
- screen settings;
- lighting;
- photography;
- material batches;
- manufacturing tolerances; or
- minor design improvements.
A variation that materially changes the approved Product specification will not be treated as a minor visual variation.
5.3 Specifications
Applicable ratings, installation requirements and safety information appearing on the Product, packaging or authorised technical literature must be followed.
Where a Portal description conflicts with a mandatory safety marking or specification on the Product, contact us before installation or resale.
5.4 Availability
Displaying a Product on the Portal does not guarantee that it is:
- in stock;
- available in the requested quantity;
- available in the selected colour;
- immediately dispatchable; or
- available at a previously displayed price.
Availability is confirmed during Order review.
6. Prices and taxes
6.1 Customer-specific prices
The Portal may display prices based on:
- customer category;
- Product category;
- quantity;
- pack size;
- distributor status;
- payment terms;
- active schemes;
- negotiated commercial terms; or
- other approved pricing factors.
Customer-specific prices and schemes are commercially confidential.
6.2 GST
Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed B2B prices are exclusive of applicable GST.
GST will be charged according to:
- Product classification;
- place of supply;
- delivery location;
- applicable tax rate; and
- law in force on the relevant date.
6.3 Additional charges
The Order may separately identify:
- freight;
- special packing;
- insurance;
- handling;
- private marka costs;
- customisation costs;
- payment-processing charges;
- statutory levies; or
- another agreed charge.
No undisclosed arbitrary charge will be added after Order approval.
6.4 Estimated values
A cart value or preliminary Order estimate is not necessarily the final Invoice value.
The final value may change because of:
- stock confirmation;
- applicable scheme conditions;
- quantity changes;
- approved substitutions;
- GST;
- freight;
- special packing;
- customisation; or
- agreed payment terms.
Any material change will be communicated before final approval or dispatch.
6.5 Pricing errors
Where an obvious pricing, tax, calculation or data-entry error is identified before Order acceptance, we may:
- correct the error;
- provide a revised Order summary; or
- reject the Order.
Where an error is identified after acceptance, we will not unilaterally increase the accepted price. We may request your agreement to a correction or cancel the affected item in accordance with the applicable cancellation provisions and policies.
7. Order submission
7.1 Order as purchase request
Submitting an Order constitutes your request to purchase the selected Products.
It does not by itself mean that we have accepted the Order.
7.2 Review
We may review:
- Product availability;
- requested quantity;
- packing requirements;
- pricing;
- customer status;
- outstanding payments;
- Order Confirmation Amount;
- payment terms;
- delivery details;
- commercial eligibility;
- special instructions; and
- compliance concerns.
7.3 Order approval
An Order becomes an Approved Order only when we expressly confirm acceptance through:
- the Portal;
- WhatsApp;
- email;
- an authorised written message; or
- another approved channel.
An automated acknowledgement that an Order was received is not necessarily approval.
7.4 Revised Order
Where we propose a material change to:
- Product;
- quantity;
- price;
- colour;
- packing;
- delivery schedule;
- payment terms; or
- another important condition,
the revised Order will require your acceptance before it becomes binding.
7.5 Refusal
We may reasonably decline an Order because of:
- lack of stock;
- Product discontinuation;
- payment default;
- incomplete verification;
- commercial-risk concerns;
- suspected fraud;
- pricing error;
- legal or regulatory restriction;
- delivery limitations;
- minimum Order requirements;
- previous misuse; or
- another legitimate business reason.
8. Approved Order and document precedence
For a particular transaction, the following order of precedence applies:
- A specific written commercial agreement signed or expressly approved by both parties;
- The final Approved Order and Invoice for Product, quantity, price, tax and payment details;
- The Warranty, Returns & Refund Policy for warranty, returns and refund matters;
- The Privacy Policy for personal-data processing;
- The Terms of Service for technical use of the Portal;
- These Terms & Conditions for general ordering and sale matters.
A handwritten or verbal alteration is not binding unless confirmed by an authorised representative of Marine Switchgear Private Limited.
9. Order Confirmation Amount
9.1 Requirement
We may require an Order Confirmation Amount before:
- reviewing a new customer’s Order;
- reserving stock;
- beginning packing;
- beginning customisation;
- processing private marka instructions; or
- confirming an Approved Order.
The amount will be displayed or communicated before payment.
9.2 Adjustment against Order value
Unless expressly disclosed otherwise, the Order Confirmation Amount will be adjusted against the final amount payable for the Approved Order.
9.3 Cancellation treatment
The treatment of an Order Confirmation Amount following cancellation will be governed by:
- the stage at which cancellation occurs;
- work already completed;
- stock reserved;
- customisation undertaken;
- costs reasonably incurred;
- the Approved Order; and
- the separate Warranty, Returns & Refund Policy where applicable.
9.4 No automatic forfeiture
The Order Confirmation Amount will not be automatically forfeited merely because an Order is cancelled.
Any deduction must relate to a disclosed charge or a reasonable and documented cost connected with the cancellation.
10. Order changes and cancellation
10.1 Before approval
You may request amendment or cancellation before Order approval through the Portal or by contacting us.
10.2 After approval
An Approved Order cannot be amended or cancelled without our written agreement.
We may accept or reject a requested change depending on:
- production status;
- packing status;
- stock reservation;
- Product customisation;
- private marka work;
- Invoice generation;
- dispatch status; and
- costs already incurred.
10.3 Revised price or timeline
An accepted amendment may result in:
- repricing;
- revised GST;
- revised freight;
- additional packing charges;
- a revised dispatch date; or
- a fresh payment requirement.
10.4 After dispatch
An Order cannot ordinarily be cancelled after dispatch.
Any claim concerning Products after dispatch will be governed by the separate Warranty, Returns & Refund Policy.
11. Minimum quantities and packing
We may apply:
- minimum Order values;
- minimum Product quantities;
- carton multiples;
- standard box quantities;
- minimum custom-colour quantities;
- private marka minimums; or
- other packing requirements.
The applicable requirement will be displayed or communicated before approval.
Minor quantity adjustments may be proposed where Products are packed in fixed box or carton quantities. A material quantity change requires your approval.
12. Schemes, discounts and promotional offers
12.1 Eligibility
A scheme or discount may depend on:
- Order value;
- carton quantity;
- Product category;
- customer eligibility;
- payment terms;
- advance payment;
- promotional period;
- sales target;
- repeat Order;
- Product launch;
- available stock; or
- another stated condition.
12.2 Combination of offers
Offers cannot be combined unless expressly permitted.
12.3 Recalculation
Where an Order is amended, partially cancelled or otherwise becomes ineligible, the related discount or scheme may be recalculated.
This may affect:
- Product price;
- free quantity;
- scheme entitlement; or
- account balance.
12.4 Errors and misuse
We may withdraw a scheme or reject a benefit where there is:
- a clear publication error;
- duplicate use;
- account manipulation;
- fraudulent ordering;
- artificial splitting of Orders;
- misuse of customer-specific terms; or
- failure to satisfy the stated conditions.
A benefit already validly applied to an Approved Order will not be withdrawn merely because a general promotion subsequently ends.
13. Payment methods
Payments may be accepted through:
- bank transfer;
- UPI;
- payment gateway;
- cheque, where approved;
- Customer Credit Balance;
- another method expressly approved by us.
Payment is treated as received only after the amount is successfully credited and available to us.
You should not make payment:
- to an unauthorised person;
- into an unverified personal account;

Depending on the customer and Order, we may require:
- full advance payment;
- partial advance payment;
- payment before packing;
- payment before dispatch;
- payment against Invoice;
- payment within an expressly approved period after Invoice or delivery; or
- another transaction-specific arrangement.
The payment stage applicable to the Order will be communicated through the Portal, Invoice, Approved Order or authorised written communication.
15. Deferred-payment arrangements
15.1 No permanent entitlement
Where we permit payment after Invoice, dispatch or delivery, that permission:
- is transaction-specific;
- does not create a permanent credit facility;
- does not require us to extend the same terms for future Orders; and
- may be revised, reduced, suspended or withdrawn based on payment conduct and commercial risk.
15.2 Due date
You must pay the full amount by the due date stated in the Invoice, Approved Order, account statement or written payment terms.
15.3 Overdue amounts
Where an amount becomes overdue, we may:
- suspend Order approval;
- hold packing or dispatch;
- reduce or withdraw deferred-payment terms;
- request immediate payment;
- suspend the account; or
- begin lawful recovery proceedings.
15.4 Collection costs and interest
Interest, late-payment charges or reasonable recovery costs will apply only where:
- stated in the Approved Order, Invoice or separate written agreement; and
- permitted under applicable law.
15.5 Disputed Invoice
A genuine Invoice dispute must be raised promptly with:
- the Invoice number;
- disputed amount;
- reason;
- supporting records; and
- the undisputed amount, which remains payable.
Raising an unsupported dispute does not automatically suspend the payment obligation.
16. Order and dispatch holds
We may place an Order, dispatch or account on hold where:
- payment is incomplete;
- an earlier Invoice is overdue;
- GST or account information is inaccurate;
- verification is incomplete;
- a security concern exists;
- the Order requires clarification;
- a legal restriction applies;
- the account has been misused; or
- there is a material commercial risk.
We will ordinarily communicate the principal reason for a hold unless disclosure would compromise security, fraud prevention or a legal investigation.
17. Invoices and GST information
17.1 Invoice details
You are responsible for providing accurate:
- legal business name;
- GSTIN;
- billing address;
- delivery address;

Requests for Invoice correction must be submitted promptly.
A correction can be made only:

17.3 Input Tax Credit
You are responsible for:
- confirming eligibility for Input Tax Credit;
- correctly reporting purchases;
- reconciling Invoice information;
- making adjustments required under applicable law; and
- complying with GST requirements applicable to your business.
We do not guarantee that Input Tax Credit will be available where the issue results from:
- inaccurate information provided by you;
- your non-compliance;
- delayed reporting by you; or
- a legal restriction outside our reasonable control.
18. Private marka and customisation
18.1 Customer instructions
Where we accept a request for:
- private marka;
- customer branding;
- special packaging;
- custom colour;

you must provide complete and accurate instructions.
18.2 Approval
We may require written approval of:

Production may begin after approval.
18.3 Customer responsibility
You confirm that you have the right to use every:
- trade mark;
- logo;
- brand name;
- image;
- design;
- artwork;
- text; and
- instruction
provided for private marka or customisation.
18.4 Refusal
We may refuse content that:
- infringes another person’s rights;

- falsely represents Product certification;
- creates a safety concern;
- conflicts with mandatory labelling; or
- could expose us to legal or reputational risk.
18.5 Cancellation restrictions
Customised and private-marka Products cannot ordinarily be cancelled after production begins.
Any exception concerning a defective, incorrectly manufactured or incorrectly dispatched Product is governed by the separate Warranty, Returns & Refund Policy.
18.6 Minor production variation
Reasonable manufacturing variation in colour, printing placement or finish will not constitute non-conformity unless it materially differs from the approved sample or specification.
19. Dispatch estimates
A dispatch or delivery date is an estimate unless expressly agreed as a guaranteed deadline in writing.
The estimate may be affected by:
- stock availability;
- manufacturing;
- packing;
- private marka work;
- payment confirmation;
- transporter availability;
- public holidays;
- regulatory requirements;
- force majeure; or
- circumstances outside our reasonable control.
We will make reasonable efforts to communicate a material delay.
20. Partial dispatch
We may propose partial dispatch where:
- only part of the Order is ready;
- some Products are temporarily unavailable;
- the Order is large;
- a customer requests urgent partial supply; or
- separate consignments are operationally reasonable.
A partial dispatch that creates material additional freight or materially changes the Order requires your approval.
Each partial dispatch may have a separate:
- Invoice;
- e-way bill;
- delivery document;
- payment requirement; and
- dispatch record.
21. Delivery details
You must provide:
- complete delivery address;
- contact person;
- working mobile number;
- access instructions;
- transporter preference, where applicable;
- unloading restrictions; and
- any legally required delivery details.
You are responsible for additional costs caused by:
- incorrect delivery information;
- refusal of a valid delivery;
- unavailable receiving personnel;
- repeated delivery attempts;
- unauthorised route changes; or
- failure to arrange unloading where required.
22. Transport arrangements and risk
22.1 Company delivery
Where we expressly agree to deliver Products using our own delivery arrangement to the stated destination, risk ordinarily passes upon delivery or attempted delivery in accordance with the Approved Order.
22.2 Customer-selected transporter
Where you select, nominate or directly engage the transporter, risk ordinarily passes when the correctly packed consignment is handed over to that transporter.
22.3 Transporter booked on customer instructions
Where we book a transporter at your request, for your convenience or on freight-to-pay terms, the Approved Order may provide that risk passes upon handover to the transporter.
We remain responsible for:
- reasonable packing;
- correct quantity handed over;
- correct dispatch documentation; and
- reasonable care in following the agreed transport instructions.
22.4 Different agreed point
A different point of risk transfer stated in the Approved Order or separate written agreement will prevail.
22.5 Title
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, legal title to Products remains with us until the full amount due for those Products has been received.
Risk may pass before title.
You must not create an adverse charge or security interest over unpaid Products where title remains with us.
22.6 Transit insurance
Responsibility for transit insurance will depend on the Approved Order.
Where insurance is not included, you may request insurance before dispatch, subject to availability and payment of the applicable cost.
23. Delivery documents and proof
Delivery or handover may be evidenced by:
- signed delivery receipt;
- transporter receipt;
- lorry receipt;
- goods receipt;
- e-way bill record;

You must communicate relevant:
- Product ratings;
- safety instructions;

- recall notices
to retailers, installers and onward customers where appropriate.
25. Product recall and safety action
Where we issue a recall or safety notice, you must:
- stop selling the affected stock;

- preserve relevant records;
- identify available onward sales where reasonably possible;
- notify onward customers where directed;
- cooperate with collection or corrective action; and
- follow disposal or safety instructions.
Failure to follow a communicated recall or safety instruction may result in account suspension and may make you responsible for avoidable loss caused by continued sale or use after notice.

31. Intellectual property

- anticipated profit;
- resale margin;
- business opportunity;
- goodwill;
- downtime;

37.3 Portal-related loss
Subject to Clause 37.4, we are not responsible for loss arising solely from:

To the extent permitted by law, you will compensate us for a direct third-party claim, loss, penalty or reasonable expense arising from:

- unlawful private marka content supplied by you;
- infringement caused by your logo, artwork or instructions;
- unauthorised alteration or relabelling of Products;
- false representation of our certification or commercial terms;
- sale of counterfeit or substituted goods as our Products;
- continued sale after a recall notice; or

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the claim was caused by our own breach, negligence, defective Product or unlawful conduct.
We will provide reasonable notice of a covered third-party claim and allow reasonable participation in its defence.

40. Notices
Notices may be provided through:
- the Portal;
- registered email;
- registered WhatsApp number;
- registered mobile number;
