Story Roots — Terms of Use
DRAFT — for review by a qualified Indian advocate before publishing. This is a starting
template, not legal advice. The limitation of liability and dispute-resolution clauses are drafted
to protect the company as far as Indian law allows, but note: under the **Consumer Protection Act,
2019 and food-safety law, certain consumer rights and product-liability claims cannot be
contracted away or capped, and consumer disputes are generally non-arbitrable** and may be
taken to consumer commissions regardless of these Terms. Have this reviewed before going live.

our consent. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable
control (force majeure).
