Terms of Use
1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Kartikay Agarwal, an individual based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, who runs Bas at bas2minute.com. They apply together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Bas.
2. A satire app: what that means
- Every store, counter, rider, call, excuse and order in Bas is a joke. No food, alcohol, tobacco, paan, product or service is sold, prepared or delivered. Delivery never happens, by design.
- "Bas Money", coupons, wallets, cards, UPI apps and banks in the app are pretend. They cannot be bought for real money, withdrawn, transferred or exchanged.
- Characters, riders and stores are fictional. Any resemblance to real people or businesses is a coincidence. The jokes target the system and the culture of instant delivery, never customers or delivery workers.
- All voices and jingles, and the Jo Bikta Nahi store photos, are made with AI; no real person's voice is used. Other pictures are licensed stock photos (Unsplash), credited in Profile → Photo credits.
- Bas never asks for a real card number, UPI PIN, OTP or password.
3. Who can use Bas
You must be 18 or older; the app asks you to confirm this with one tap. The Daru Theka and Paan Shop are for 21 or older only and ask again before you enter. The legal age for alcohol differs from state to state in India: please follow your state's rule. These are self-declarations; please answer truthfully.
4. Alcohol and tobacco content
The Daru Theka, Cigarettes and Paan Shop counters exist to make fun of the urge and to discourage use. They carry statutory warnings in English and Hindi on every item, card, share card and order screen:
चेतावनी: धूम्रपान से कैंसर होता है। तंबाकू से दर्दनाक मौत होती है।
Alcohol WARNING: Consuming alcohol causes cancer. Alcohol consumption is injurious to health. Don’t drink and drive.
चेतावनी: शराब के सेवन से कैंसर होता है। शराब स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक है। शराब पीकर गाड़ी न चलाएं।
After every order in these sections: Want to quit? Free help is available. National Tobacco Quitline: 1800-11-2356. Tele-MANAS (mental health & addiction support): 14416.
Bas does not sell, supply, advertise or promote tobacco, alcohol or any harmful product. We have no ties with any tobacco or alcohol brand, and no real brand names, logos or products appear in the app.
5. No account
Bas has no sign-up or sign-in. Your progress lives only in your browser on your phone. Clearing browser data or changing phones loses it, and we cannot restore it.
6. Price
Bas is free. There are no plans, subscriptions or purchases. Prices and checkouts in the app are pretend. If we ever offer anything paid, we will update these terms and ask for your clear consent first.
7. What you must not do
- Use Bas prank links (Bhejo) to trick anyone into paying, sharing an OTP or giving personal details. Pranks must stay a joke that the receiver can see is satire.
- Put a real person's name, phone number or private details in a nickname or share.
- Pretend to be Bas, a Bas employee or another person.
- Copy, scrape, reverse-engineer or resell Bas, its scripts or pictures, or try to break its security.
8. Content and ownership
The Bas name, app, characters, scripts, pictures and design belong to Kartikay Agarwal. Voices are made with AI4Bharat Indic Parler-TTS (Apache 2.0) and jingles with ACE-Step (MIT); their licences are respected. You may use Bas for personal fun and share prank links and screenshots as the app allows. If you send ideas or feedback, we may use them without paying you.
9. A changing app
Bas is new and keeps improving. Features, counters and characters can change, pause or stop at any time. Some features are marked "Jald aa raha hai" (coming soon) and are not available yet.
10. Limits of our responsibility
Bas is provided as it is. As far as Indian law allows, we are not liable for any indirect loss, or for any loss caused by relying on something in a satire app as if it were real. Nothing in these terms limits a right you have under consumer protection law that cannot be limited.

12. A note from us
Bas is a work of satire and humour, made to help you take a light break from the pressures of daily life.
All names, characters, voices, places, businesses and situations in this app are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or to real organisations is purely coincidental. Regional accents and characters are portrayed with affection, as a celebration of India’s diversity.
We never intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, beliefs or sentiments, or to target any community, region, religion, gender or profession. Our humour is aimed at systems, false promises and everyday frustrations, never at people.
If anything in Bas has hurt you, we sincerely apologise. Please tell us at support@bas2minute.com. We read every message and will review and improve.
Awaazein AI4Bharat ke open-source Indic Parler-TTS se, jingles ACE-Step se — sab apne computer par banayi gayi.
