Terms of service.

What the app is

Ainkosh shows the laws of Bangladesh in Bangla and English, with search, bookmarks and notes, plain-language guides, calculators (inheritance, court fee, stamp duty, limitation, traffic fines and land units), a legal dictionary, help-line numbers and practice questions for the Bar Council and Judicial Service exams.

Information, not legal advice

Everything in the app is general information about the law. It is not legal advice for your situation and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Laws change, and the right answer often depends on facts the app cannot know. Before you act on anything that matters, such as a case, a deadline, a deed or the division of property, talk to a lawyer. If you cannot afford one, the government legal aid line is 16430.

Calculators state the rule and the law they apply, and what they do not cover. Their results are estimates; courts, sub-registry offices and other authorities may apply different values, later rates or other rules.

Source of the law text; not a government app

The text of laws is taken from the official Laws of Bangladesh website, bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd ↗, published by the Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division, Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs. Each law in the app shows its source link and the date its text was taken. Where the app’s text differs from the Bangladesh Gazette, the Gazette prevails.

Ainkosh is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for the Government of Bangladesh or any court.

The guides, dictionary, practice questions and calculators are my own original work. If you find a mistake, please write to me so I can correct it.

Using the app

You may install and use the app on your own devices. Please do not copy, resell or redistribute the app or its original content, remove its notices, or interfere with the adverts it shows.

Adverts, purchases and other services

The app is free and shows adverts served by Google AdMob on some screens. I do not choose or endorse individual adverts. How advertising data is handled is explained in the Ainkosh privacy policy.

“Remove ads” is an optional one-time purchase made through Google Play under Google Play’s terms, including its refund policy. It removes adverts on the devices where you use the same Google account. Watching an optional reward advert can unlock more practice sets or a day without adverts.

Some buttons open other apps or websites, such as the official law website, Google Play, your email app or your phone dialler. Those services are run by other parties under their own terms.

No warranty

The app is provided as is. I work to keep it accurate and up to date, but I do not promise that it is free of mistakes, that a law shown is the latest version, that it will always be available, or that it suits a particular purpose.

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for loss or damage that results from using the app or relying on its content, including a missed deadline or a wrong calculation. Nothing in these terms limits rights that the law gives you as a consumer and that cannot be set aside by agreement.

Changes and contact

The app may be updated, changed or withdrawn. If these terms change, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions and corrections can be sent to [email protected].
