LEGAL & COMPLIANCE

Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: October 9, 2026 • Last Updated: October 17, 2026

01.Introduction & Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Snippets by PrepMonitor ("Platform", "Service", "we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using our website located at upsc.one or any affiliated applications, APIs, and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms").

If you do not agree to these Terms, please refrain from accessing or subscribing to our Services. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and the operators of PrepMonitor.

02.Services & Educational Purpose

Snippets by PrepMonitor provides a curated daily UPSC Civil Services Examination current affairs synthesis. Services include digital A4 magazine editions, interactive mind maps, daily 10-question Prelims quizzes, bilingual English and conversational Hindi Opus audio briefs, and study revision vaults.

All materials provided are for educational and academic preparation purposes only. While we strive for rigorous accuracy, we do not guarantee examination outcomes or recruitment results.

03.User Accounts & Authentication

Access to Pro features requires authentication via Clerk (Google OAuth or verified Mobile OTP). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

Account sharing, credential distribution, or reselling of Pro access to third parties or coaching institutes is strictly prohibited and results in immediate account revocation without compensation.

04.Subscription & Payments

Without an applied coupon, standard prices are ₹2,999 for Yearly access (365 days), ₹3,999 for Lifetime access, ₹999 for 1 Month (30 days), and ₹1,999 for 6 Months (180 days). Eligible coupons reduce these to ₹999, ₹1,999, ₹499, and ₹799 respectively. Eligible coupons apply automatically for the selected plan and do not stack. When the daily schedule is enabled, coupons pause briefly after midnight IST; the default pause is ten minutes (12:00–12:10 a.m.), and its duration can be changed by the administrator. The checkout shows the current server-controlled availability and countdown. During the pause, standard pricing applies. The Lifetime launch coupon has a separate fixed end: 21 October 2026 at 6:01 p.m. IST. It does not restart after that deadline; Lifetime access may still be purchased at the standard price. The server rechecks the price before creating a payment order; already-created orders retain their quoted amount. All payments are processed through Razorpay; these access plans do not automatically renew.

By initiating a transaction, you authorize our payment processor to charge the stated amount to your selected payment method (UPI, Debit Card, Credit Card, or Net Banking). Prices are inclusive of applicable taxes unless specified otherwise.

Lifetime access and included updates

Lifetime access has no annual expiry or renewal charge. It includes access to the purchased PRO study features and updates to those features while the Snippets service operates. It does not promise perpetual operation, examination results, or access to separately sold future products. Content and source-clipping availability may change with publisher licensing.

The refund policy linked below applies to both yearly and lifetime purchases. Please try the free article and audio sample before choosing a plan.

05.Cancellation & Refund Policy

Yearly and lifetime subscriptions include a 7-day money-back guarantee for unresolved technical issues, subscription non-activation, or materially unreliable news. Contact [email protected] or submit the refund form within 7 days of payment. Qualifying issues receive an easy refund after verification; the guarantee does not cover a simple change of mind.

7-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Submitting a request creates a review ticket, not an automatic refund. Duplicate charges are also eligible for review. Please refer to our complete Refund Policy for full details and qualifying conditions.

06.Intellectual Property Rights

All software, design tokens, algorithms, audio narrations, mind maps, questions, and editorial commentaries generated by PrepMonitor are the exclusive intellectual property of PrepMonitor. Newspaper trademarks referenced (*The Hindu*, *The Indian Express*) belong to their respective copyright holders and are cited for academic commentary and educational reference.

You may not scrape, reverse-engineer, mass-download, or redistribute Platform assets without prior written consent.

07.Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Indian law, PrepMonitor and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to access the Platform.
