Compliance and disclosures

What Astrosia Protect is

Astrosia Protect is software for contract workflows and receivables follow-through, a membership mark, and commercial support services, from Astrosia Technologies LLP (LLPIN ACL-6072), Bengaluru.

Astrosia Technologies LLP is not a law firm, does not practise law, and does not give legal advice. It does not solicit for, advertise, rank or rate any advocate. Protect is not insurance. It does not guarantee a signature, a payment, or the outcome of any matter.

Legal help

• Legal work is done only by independent enrolled advocates, under a separate engagement between you and the advocate. The advocate acts for you and owes their professional duties to you.
• Member rates are starting rates for the advocate’s fee, agreed with participating independent advocates. The advocate confirms the fee for your matter before you agree, and may decline a matter. You pay the advocate directly. Astrosia takes no share of that fee and no referral or success fee from either side.
• Court fees, stamp duty, postage, arbitrators’ and institutions’ fees and other third-party costs are extra. Arbitration is available only where your contract provides for it.
• You are free to decline a quote, or to use any advocate of your own.
• Legal notices are written, signed and sent by the advocate, on the advocate’s letterhead. Astrosia does not issue them.
• The comparison with market rates is a general estimate. Market fees vary widely, and in some cases are about four times the member rate.
• Member rates also apply when you need to defend a claim, notice or dispute brought against you. This is access to independent advocates at member rates. It is not legal-expenses insurance: you pay the advocate’s fee, and any costs, damages or other amounts ordered against you remain yours.
• “Legal shield” is a description of the membership’s layers of support. It is not insurance, and it is not a promise of legal cover or of any result.

Negotiation support

• Negotiation support and a seat on your calls are commercial services. They cover price, scope, timing and payment terms.
• Our staff are not advocates. They do not interpret clauses, assess legal rights or give a view on a dispute’s merits.
• They act only inside limits you set in writing. They cannot bind you; you decide and you sign.
• They introduce themselves by their real name and say that they are working with you. They do not claim to be a lawyer, a court or a government body.

Payment follow-up

• Protect is not a collection agency and does not hold your money. Your client pays you, into your account, and Astrosia takes no cut of what you are paid.
• Reminders go in your name, in business hours, in a commercial voice, to the business contacts you provide.
• There are no threats, no contact with anyone else, and no public naming of late payers.
• Anything firmer than a scheduled reminder waits for your approval. A disputed invoice stops being followed until you restart it.

The member badge

The badge confirms an active membership. It is not a rating, a certificate of quality or a credit reference, and it is not a promise by Astrosia about any business or any payment. It does not name or rate any client.

Electronic signing

Agreements are signed electronically and a signing record is kept. Some documents cannot be signed electronically under Indian law, and Protect will tell you before you send one. Stamp duty, where it applies, is your responsibility.

Statutory rights

The rights described on our site under the MSMED Act, 2006 belong to micro and small enterprises with Udyam registration, for goods supplied or services rendered. Some businesses, including traders, are treated differently, and your buyer’s position matters. The description of these rights, and of the related income-tax treatment, is general information and not advice on your situation. An advocate can tell you where you stand.

Figures and examples

The MSME Samadhaan figures are national totals and are not a claim about any member. Worked examples, names and screens are illustrations, not results or a forecast. Prices can change before launch. The workspace screens are a design preview with sample data.
