Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 18/04/2025

Welcome to Alpha Shelf, where students come to unlock their money-making mojo. Before you explore or purchase any of our digital products (aka eBooks), we need to lay down some ground rules. By accessing or using our website, you’re agreeing to the following Terms & Conditions. It’s your responsibility to read and understand them but don’t worry, we’ve kept things simple.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Due to the fact that all Alpha Shelf products are digital and immediately accessible after purchase, we do not offer refunds once the product has been downloaded or accessed. Digital content, once delivered, is considered consumed. However, if there has been a genuine error—such as a duplicate charge, a broken file, or an incorrect item delivered—we will investigate the issue. In such cases, you must contact us within seventy-two hours of the purchase and include proof of the transaction. Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to maintain fairness and uphold the quality of your experience.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Everything on Alpha Shelf from our eBooks to website design, graphics, logos, and content  belongs exclusively to us. You don’t own any of it just because you bought or viewed it. You’re getting a limited, non-transferable license to use our digital content for personal educational use only. You cannot redistribute, modify, sell, publish, or share our content anywhere, even if you’re trying to be helpful. Plagiarism, piracy, and unauthorized commercial use are strictly prohibited. Violating our intellectual property rights may result in account termination and legal consequences. Respect the hustle and the copyright.

3. Digital Product Usage

Once you purchase an eBook, you’ll receive instant access to it in a downloadable digital format (PDF or similar). You can read it across devices, save it for offline learning, and print it for personal use. But you cannot share it online, send it to friends, or upload it to platforms like Telegram, YouTube, or forums. Each copy is for individual use only,  just like your student ID card. Our system may track downloads and prevent misuse. We’re serious about protecting our authors’ work, and expect you to be, too. Think of it like Netflix,  you can use it, but you can’t leak it.

4. Payments & Pricing

All payments made on Alpha Shelf are secure and processed via trusted payment gateways. Prices are listed in INR (Indian Rupees) and may change based on seasonal offers or updates to content. Once you pay and receive the download link, the sale is considered final. We don’t charge any hidden fees or subscription costs. The price you see is what you pay. We don’t store your card, UPI, or banking information that’s handled entirely by our payment processor. If a discount or coupon is available, use it before checkout. We cannot apply it retroactively. Pricing fairness is important to us, and we always try to keep it student-budget friendly.

5. Refunds & Cancellations

Since our products are digital and instantly delivered, we do not offer refunds or cancellations once the product is accessed or downloaded. We encourage you to read product descriptions and previews carefully before making a purchase. In rare cases where a transaction error occurs (like double payments or failed downloads), contact us within 72 hours for support. We’ll review each case individually and assist you accordingly. But in general, all sales are final. Just like with movie tickets, once you’ve entered the theatre (aka downloaded the book), there’s no going back. If you ever face access issues, we’ll happily resend your product.

6. User Conduct

We expect users of Alpha Shelf to be respectful, honest, and responsible. You’re not allowed to post spam, offensive content, or engage in any illegal or harmful activity through our platform. You must not attempt to hack, alter, or damage the website or its content. Creating fake accounts or using stolen payment info will result in immediate bans and possibly legal action. If we introduce a community space, discussions should stay respectful, hustle-positive, and inclusive. We reserve the right to remove users who break these rules. We built this platform to empower students, not to babysit bad behavior, so let’s keep it clean.

7. Third-Party Links

Some of our eBooks and resources link out to other tools or platforms; like Shopify, Canva, Upwork, or stock-trading apps. These links are only for educational and reference purposes. We don’t own or control these third-party sites, and we’re not liable for any experience you may have with them. Please review their terms, privacy policies, and safety features before you use them. While we do our best to recommend only legit resources, you access external websites at your own risk. Our job is to guide you, not to guarantee their performance. If you spot a broken or suspicious link, let us know!

8. Limitation of Liability

While our guides aim to empower you financially and creatively, Alpha Shelf is not responsible for your results. We do not guarantee that you’ll make a specific income or build a successful business. These are educational resources, not magic formulas. Your results depend on how you apply the knowledge, your skills, your timing, and your consistency. We’re not liable for any direct or indirect losses, business failures, or academic consequences based on your actions. Use our products wisely and always do your own research before investing or launching. Your hustle, your responsibility; we’re just your guide.

9. Modifications to These Terms

We may update or revise these Terms from time to time without notice. When we do, we’ll change the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. It’s your responsibility to review the Terms regularly. By continuing to use the website or access any Alpha Shelf content after changes, you agree to the revised Terms. Major changes; like payment policies or refund conditions may be announced via email or a site notice. Minor changes will simply be reflected on this page. We recommend bookmarking this page for reference. Don’t worry, we won’t change things just for fun, only to make things better and clearer.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these Terms, your access to the website, or any transaction with Alpha Shelf will be handled under the jurisdiction of the courts located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. By using this website, you consent to these legal boundaries. We believe in resolving issues amicably, so if there’s a disagreement, we encourage you to contact us first before taking legal action. We’re students-turned-creators ourselves, and we value communication and fair treatment. But legal stuff? Let’s avoid it by just playing fair.

11. Contact Us

We’re always here to help, support, or just cheer you on in your side-hustle journey. If you have any questions about these Terms, want clarity about a product, or are facing issues with access or payment, hit us up.
