Regulatory & Compliance Statement
This statement sets out, in one place, the legal status of cyfare.net and how each service offered on the Platform complies with applicable Indian law.
1. Business Structure & Taxation
- cyfare.net is owned and operated by [Proprietor Full Name], an individual resident in India, trading under the name "CYFARE" as a sole proprietorship;
- it is not a company under the Companies Act, 2013, nor an LLP or partnership; no corporate registration is required for a sole proprietorship, and the proprietor is personally responsible for all obligations of the business;
- all business income is declared and assessed as the proprietor's individual income under the Income-tax Act, 1961, and applicable taxes are duly paid;
- CYFARE is not registered under GST as its aggregate turnover is below the threshold prescribed under the CGST Act, 2017; where a purchase involves partner-sold goods, GST (if applicable) is charged, collected and remitted by the registered partner seller under their own GSTIN;
- statutory registrations applicable to a sole proprietorship of this nature (e.g., Shops & Establishments, where required by the State) are maintained by the proprietor.
2. Information Technology Act, 2000 — Intermediary Compliance
To the extent the Platform qualifies as an "intermediary" under Section 2(1)(w) of the IT Act, 2000, CYFARE observes due diligence under Section 79 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, including: publication of rules, privacy policy and user agreements; appointment of a Grievance Officer (legal@cyfare.net) with acknowledgement of complaints within 24 hours and resolution within 15 days; action on lawful takedown orders within prescribed timelines; preservation of records as required; and cooperation with lawfully authorized government agencies.
3. Data Protection
Personal data is processed in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the SPDI Rules, 2011, as detailed in the Privacy Policy.
4. Cybersecurity Content & Tools
Vulnerability advisories, exploit references, malware scanning and threat-intelligence data are published bona fide for defensive security, research and education — activities recognized as legitimate under Indian law. Publication does not authorize any unlawful act; use is governed by the Acceptable Use Policy, and nothing on the Platform permits unauthorized access under Sections 43/66 of the IT Act, 2000.
5. S32 — Restricted Law-Enforcement Service
S32 is a restricted platform offered only to verified Indian law-enforcement personnel, using open-source and publicly circulating data, as described in the S32 Restricted Platform Terms. CYFARE does not conduct interception or unauthorized access, and provides no service to private or foreign persons.
6. Defense Products — Licensed-Partner Model
All defense-related products listed in the shop are offered strictly in partnership with registered middlemen, dealers and shops holding the licences required under applicable law, including (where applicable) the Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules, 2016. Under this model:
- CYFARE does not itself manufacture, stock, transfer or sell any licensed/ regulated article; it provides listing, marketing and order-facilitation services to licensed partners;
- every regulated sale is concluded and invoiced by the licensed partner, is conditional on the buyer's statutory eligibility and documentation, and follows the channels prescribed by law;
- no regulated article is exported; any export would occur only under valid authorization under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, SCOMET controls and the WMD Act, 2005;
- any listing found not to meet these conditions is removed, and the associated order cancelled and refunded.
7. Consumer Protection
Shop operations follow the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, including disclosure of seller identity for partner-sold goods, transparent pricing, and the grievance/refund mechanisms described in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
