Sir I take your opinion with due respects, this is not for any commercial purpose, nor I am a businessman. I am a student learning the finer points of law, I came across this T&C while trying to register at the BSNL website. I am not in anyway trying to compel any expert, if any expert has time and takes this as some kind of intellectual challenge, he may respond or else it is fine with me.
