Terms and Conditions

Using this site

The Cinema Chair publishes written and video analysis of how films and series are made. Reading it is free and requires no account. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not, the remedy is simple: stop using it.

The site is operated by The Cinema Chair, from Bengaluru, India. Full business details are at the foot of this page.

What you may and may not do

You are welcome to read, quote with credit, link, and share.

You may not:

• Republish whole articles as your own, or without a visible credit and link
• Scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other people
• Use it to break the law, harass anyone, or infringe someone's rights

• Submit anything through the form that is unlawful, abusive, or deliberately misleading

The writing and design

The original writing, the design, the layout, the logo and the name The Cinema Chair belong to Rohan Mehindrakar. Quoting a passage with credit is fine and encouraged. Wholesale copying is not.

Film stills and clips

Screenshots from films and series remain the property of their respective studios and rights holders, and are credited on the page where they appear. They are used here for criticism, review and commentary. No claim of ownership is made over any of it, and no affiliation with or endorsement by any studio is implied.

If you hold rights to an image on this site and want it removed, write to contact@thecinemachair.in and it will be taken down promptly while the claim is looked at.

Opinions, not facts

Analysis is interpretation. Readings of a scene are argument, not reporting, and reasonable people disagree. Nothing here is professional advice of any kind. Reasonable care is taken to be accurate, but no guarantee is made that anything on the site is complete, current or correct.

Links out

The site links to Instagram, YouTube, X and other places. Those are not run by The Cinema Chair, and their content and privacy practices are their own.

The shop

Prices in the shop are in Indian rupees and include all taxes. The Cinema Chair is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged and no tax invoice bearing a GSTIN can be issued.

Putting something in the basket is not an order, and an order is not accepted until we confirm it. If something is out of stock, mispriced, or cannot be delivered to your PIN code, we will tell you and refund you in full rather than quietly substituting something else.

Payments are handled by Razorpay. Card and bank details are entered on Razorpay's systems and are never seen by, or stored on, this site.

Putting something in the basket reserves nothing. Availability, prices, coupon codes and the products themselves can change or be withdrawn at any time, and prices are re-read from the catalogue when you send your list, so what you see at that point is what applies. A coupon code has no cash value, may be limited by date, minimum order or number of uses, and can be withdrawn before it is used.

See the refund and cancellation policy for what happens when money is not involved, and what would change if it ever is.

Accounts

An account is optional. It exists so you do not have to retype your name, phone number and address, and it can be deleted on request. Keep your password to yourself, give accurate delivery details, and do not attempt to reach an account or an administrator area that is not yours. Accounts can be suspended for abuse, and access can be withdrawn at any time.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute.
