Legal
Terms of use and sale.
Plain-language terms for this website, the shop and the online reader. Last updated 19 October 2026.
Who we are
This website, the shop and the Learning Hub are run by Bhagirath Basnet, a photojournalist and photography educator based in Jaipur, India ("we", "me"). Contact: hello@bhagirathbasnet.com.
Your account
You need an account to buy and to read or learn online. Keep your password private. One account is for one person. If we see an account being shared or used to copy our material, we may switch it off.
Digital products and courses
The online reader (ebook) and courses are digital products. You get access in your account after your payment is confirmed. Access is personal and not transferable. You may read and learn for yourself only. You may not copy, record, screenshot for sharing, resell, publish or share the material or your login. Each page of the reader carries your name or email as a watermark so that misuse can be traced.
Payments and access
Prices are shown in rupees (₹) or US dollars ($) depending on your location. At present payments are confirmed by us by hand after you tell us your payment reference, and access is switched on when we confirm. The annual membership lasts one year from the day we switch it on and includes the services described on its page, including every language edition of the book we publish during your membership.
No refunds
Because digital products and courses can be used immediately, they are not refundable. Once you buy, you keep the service for the period or product you paid for. We may switch access off at any time if these terms are broken. If we switch off a service that you paid for without a fault on your side, contact us and we will put it right.
Paperback
The printed book is sold and shipped by Amazon under Amazon's own terms and refund rules. We do not take payment for it on this site.
Affiliate links
Some pages link to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Opinions are my own. Always check price and availability on Amazon before you buy.
News and articles
Articles are for information. We try to be accurate and credit our sources, but product details, prices and availability change. Announcements are labelled and are not tests. Some articles are drafted with the help of AI tools and are reviewed before they are published.
Photographs
Photographs by Bhagirath Basnet are protected by copyright. Do not copy or use them without written permission. Pictures from other creators are credited where they appear.
Liability and changes
The site is provided as it is. We are not responsible for losses that arise from using it, to the extent the law allows. We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
