Business & bulk order terms

These terms cover ordering through a Studymaxx business account — verification, quotes and proforma invoices, payment and GST documents, freight, and how cancellations and bulk returns work.

Effective August 3, 2026 · Version 1.0

Who these terms are for

These terms apply to schools, bookstores, coaching institutes, distributors, and other organisations ordering through a Studymaxx business account. They work alongside our general Terms & Conditions — for anything not covered here, those apply.

Learn how business ordering works

Business accounts

Institutional pricing and bulk ordering are available through a verified business account. Retail orders placed on the storefront follow our standard policies, not these terms.

One account per organisation

A business account represents one organisation and should be operated by people authorised to order on its behalf. Activity under the account is the organisation’s responsibility.

Registration and verification

Accurate details

You agree to provide accurate organisation details at registration — legal name, address, contact information, and GSTIN where applicable — and to keep them current. Invoicing follows the details on the account.

Verification

We review every business registration and bulk request, usually within one working day. We may ask for supporting documents, and may decline or suspend accounts that misrepresent their identity or misuse institutional pricing.

Pricing confidentiality

Institutional pricing, quotes, and credit arrangements are provided for your organisation and should not be shared publicly or with other resellers.

Quotes, proformas, and payment

Quote and proforma first

Bulk requests receive a quote and a proforma invoice before any payment is due. The proforma lists the titles, quantities, pricing, taxes, and freight for your order.

Quote validity

Quotes and proformas are valid for the period stated on them. Prices, discounts, and freight may be re-quoted if an order is confirmed after the validity lapses or quantities change.

Payment

Orders are confirmed on settlement of the proforma by bank transfer or another accepted mode, or against credit terms approved in writing for your organisation. Where credit applies, invoices are payable within the agreed period.

GST invoicing and documents

Your GST invoice, purchase order reference, and delivery challan are available from your business account at dispatch. Please ensure your GSTIN is correct before payment — invoice corrections after filing may not be possible.

Freight and delivery

Freight quoted upfront

Bulk freight is consolidated and quoted on the proforma before you pay. Re-shipping or re-routing costs caused by incorrect delivery details may be charged additionally.

Delivery and inspection

Delivery timelines are estimates and may vary with distance, season, and logistics conditions. Please count cartons and inspect the consignment on delivery, and report transit damage or shortages with photos within 48 hours of receipt.

Cancellations and bulk returns

Cancellation

Confirmed bulk orders can be cancelled before dispatch for a full refund of amounts paid. Once dispatched, cancellation is not available and the return conditions below apply.

Eligible returns

Returns on bulk orders are accepted for damaged, defective, missing, or incorrect items — not for change of mind or unsold stock, unless agreed in writing beforehand. Approved returns follow the verification and refund process in our Return Policy.

Resale rules for booksellers

Bookstores and distributors reselling Studymaxx titles agree to a few rules that protect students and the trade alike.

Sell genuine, sell fairly

  • Resell only genuine Studymaxx books purchased through Studymaxx or an authorised channel, at or below the printed MRP.
  • Do not tamper with, copy, or separately sell QR codes, access credentials, or any digital-resource entitlements — these are governed by our Digital Resources Terms of Use.
  • Do not rebind, relabel, photocopy, or bundle the books in a way that misrepresents them.

Relationship

Buying at trade pricing makes your organisation a customer, not an agent, franchisee, or exclusive distributor of Studymaxx. No right to use the Studymaxx name or marks is granted beyond truthfully advertising that you stock the books.

General

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the business program evolves. The version in force when your order is confirmed applies to that order.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes are subject to the competent courts and forums with appropriate jurisdiction in India.
