This three-hour IF session is educational and exploratory. It introduces possible ways to develop your skills into experiences or businesses.
Participation does not guarantee earnings, employment, business success, customers, funding, platform listing, or future opportunities with IF. Examples illustrate possibilities, not promised results.
Your ticket covers only the session and expressly stated inclusions. Any subsequent programme, partnership, listing, or commercial opportunity may require separate selection, terms, and fees.
Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
I am 18 or older and have read and accept the Terms and Conditions and cancellation policy. I understand that this is an exploratory session and that income, business success, and future opportunities are not guaranteed.
Event and organizer details
Event title: [Origin]
Organizer and contracting party: [ InnoFellowship], referred to below as “IF”, “we”, or “us”.
1. What you are purchasing
Your ticket purchases admission to the approximately three-hour session and the specific services described on the event page when you book. The session is intended for education, discussion, networking and exploration of how skills might be developed into experiences, projects or businesses.
The session may include group activities, examples, questions, feedback and introductions. Its duration includes any scheduled breaks. It is not a business launch service, recruitment programme, investment product, franchise, or sale of a business opportunity with assured earnings.
We must provide the services actually promised at booking with reasonable care and skill. Describing the event as exploratory does not excuse failure to provide those services.
2. Exploration, not an outcome promise
Participation does not guarantee any income, minimum earnings, recurring revenue, financial independence, job replacement, employment, clients, bookings, audience growth, business success, investment, funding, travel assignment or career transition. You may earn nothing from ideas discussed at this session.
Examples involving travel businesses, storytelling, academies, workshops, retreats, communities or creative getaways illustrate possible directions. They are not an assurance that a direction is suitable, feasible, profitable or available to every participant.
Any financial illustration must identify its assumptions and distinguish revenue from profit. Outcomes depend on factors including demand, ability, time, expenditure, pricing, execution, competition and legal compliance. Testimonials reflect individual experiences, not typical or guaranteed results unless supported and expressly identified as such.
You are not required to resign from employment, invest in a business, borrow money, or buy another IF offering to participate. Do not make a financial or career commitment solely because a possibility was discussed.
3. Resources, introductions and future opportunities
References to IF’s mentors, venue connections, community, platform or other resources describe the support that IF actually has and the access expressly included in your booking. A connection with a venue is not a promise of a free venue, an available date or a discounted rate.
Unless specifically included in writing at booking, the ticket does not purchase:
individual or ongoing mentoring;
guaranteed access to a named person or venue;
platform publication, promotion, customer acquisition or a minimum number of bookings;
funding, equipment, accommodation, travel, marketing spend or operating capital;
admission to a fellowship, a paid assignment, a partnership, revenue share or continuing support.
Future opportunities may require applications, suitability assessments, capacity checks, verification, additional fees and separate written agreements. Selection is not guaranteed. Any criteria and costs will be disclosed before you commit. We will not collect an additional fee without your agreement.
If future opportunities are promoted as part of the event, we will accurately describe their current status, material eligibility requirements, and any known limitations. An idea under development will be identified as such.
4. No accredited qualification or professional advice
Unless accreditation is specifically identified and verifiable on the event page, the session is not an accredited academic qualification, degree, MBA, professional licence or employment credential. Any attendance certificate confirms attendance only.
General business, marketing and career discussions are educational. They do not replace legal, tax, financial, investment, immigration, medical or other regulated professional advice. Participants should obtain appropriate independent advice before acting on matters requiring it.
Guest speakers may express their own opinions. This does not remove IF’s responsibility for its own representations, materials or legally attributable acts.
5. Eligibility, registration and admission
Participants must be at least 18 and legally capable of entering this agreement. Any narrower advertised age range or other eligibility requirement must be disclosed before booking. An advance form or expression of interest alone does not reserve a seat.
Registration is confirmed only after the required payment and written confirmation. For an approval-based event, follow the approval process shown before payment. If IF declines an application after collecting a fee, we will refund the amount collected in full.
Provide accurate registration details and an accessible contact address. We may request proportionate proof of age or booking identity, without routinely retaining identity-document copies. Tickets are valid only for the specified session and number of participants. Personal assistants needed for accessibility will be addressed separately and reasonably.
6. Payment and additional costs
The total payable price, taxes and compulsory charges will be visible before payment. Optional purchases must be separately identified and chosen. Payment is through the payment provider identified at checkout; never share an OTP or banking password with staff or participants.
Travel, parking, accommodation, personal equipment, business expenses and future programme fees are excluded unless expressly included. IF will provide a receipt or invoice as applicable. A duplicate or wrongly collected payment will be investigated and refunded where confirmed.
Declining an optional purchase does not remove access to services already included in your paid ticket. Reporting a payment problem to IF does not waive payment-provider or statutory dispute rights.
7. Participant cancellation, transfers and refunds
Proposed policy: publish the final policy prominently before payment.
Requests must be sent to the listed contact using booking details. Time is measured against the advertised session start in IST.
When IF receives the cancellation Proposed refund
At least 72 hours before the session 100% of the amount collected for the booking
At least 24 hours but less than 72 hours before 50% of the amount collected for the booking
Less than 24 hours before, or failure to attend No ordinary change-of-mind refund
Any retention must remain reasonable and lawful; it is not a penalty and must not produce disproportionate recovery. If the cancelled place is resold, IF will consider the avoided loss and refund accordingly, less reasonable demonstrable administration costs where lawful.
You may request one transfer to another eligible person at least 24 hours before the session, without a transfer charge. IF must confirm the transfer to prevent duplicate admission. Commercial resale without authorisation is prohibited.
Late arrival, early departure, nonparticipation or disappointment that a hoped-for business outcome did not occur does not itself entitle you to a change-of-mind refund after the service is properly delivered. This does not restrict remedies for misrepresentation, non-delivery, deficient service or other statutory rights.
Approved refunds will normally be initiated to the original payment method within seven business days. Provider settlement may take additional time; IF will provide a status update if delayed. Required statutory deadlines take priority. No double recovery is available for the same payment.
8. Organiser cancellation, postponement and changes
IF may make reasonable agenda adjustments that preserve the booked service. We will communicate significant changes promptly using the registration contact details.
If IF cancels, we will refund all amounts collected for the affected booking, including taxes and compulsory charges collected by us. A credit or alternative date is optional, not a compulsory substitute for a refund.
If a material change is made to the date, city, in-person format, core programme or an expressly guaranteed speaker, you may accept the replacement or obtain a full refund for the affected booking. We will provide a reasonable period to choose and will not treat silence as agreement to a materially different service.
IF does not ordinarily reimburse independently arranged travel, accommodation or loss of time for a cancellation; this is subject to section 17 and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. No term excuses refunds or remedies required by law.
9. Participation, safety and accessibility
Participation in an activity is voluntary. You may decline to disclose personal matters, pitch an idea, appear on stage or take part in an exercise. Follow reasonable venue, fire-safety and staff instructions. Immediately report hazards, injuries or harassment to the event team.
Request accessibility arrangements through the listed contact as early as practical. IF will discuss reasonable arrangements and confirm any material limitations before payment where known. For refreshments, ask about ingredients and tell us about relevant dietary needs; we will not promise an allergen-free environment unless it can actually be provided. You need not disclose diagnoses or unnecessary medical details to the group.
IF will take reasonable steps to maintain a safe event and obtain assistance during an emergency. Emergency treatment may involve independent providers and ordinarily carries its own charges, without excluding any legal responsibility IF may have.
This session ticket does not include an actual retreat, excursion, adventure activity or travel experience merely because these are discussed. Any separately organised activity needs its own accurate description, safety arrangements and agreement before participation.
10. Conduct and removal
Harassment, discrimination, threats, unsafe behaviour, intoxication, illegal activity, unauthorised recording, fraud, and repeated unwanted solicitation are prohibited. Respect other participants’ boundaries and privacy.
IF may refuse admission or remove a participant for a substantiated serious breach, proportionately and with an explanation where safe and practicable. A warning will be given where appropriate. Any refund decision will reflect the circumstances, services delivered, actual reasonable loss and applicable law; removal is not an automatic right to retain every fee.
Removal for IF’s convenience, without participant breach, will carry a refund for undelivered services and any other remedy required by law. Participants remain free to make honest reviews and good-faith complaints or reports to authorities.
11. Networking, independent dealings and conflicts
Meeting another participant, mentor or venue representative is not a background check or endorsement of their reliability, financial standing or promises. Independently verify credentials and arrangements before entering a deal, transferring money or sharing sensitive information.
IF is not automatically a party, employer, agent, fiduciary, partner or guarantor in an independent arrangement between participants or third parties. IF remains responsible where required by law for its own selection, representations or conduct. Event attendance does not create an employment, agency, franchise, partnership or joint-venture relationship with IF.
Speakers and organisers must disclose material commercial interests relevant to recommendations. A referral or separate paid service should be identified as such. No participant is obliged to purchase it.
12. Ideas, confidentiality and intellectual property
You retain rights in your pre-existing work and original contributions. Participation does not transfer ownership of your business, idea, content, brand or future revenue to IF. Sharing an idea alone does not create an exclusive business opportunity or ownership in similar ideas independently developed by others.
Group discussions are not confidential by default and IF cannot guarantee that others will keep information private. Do not disclose trade secrets, confidential employer/client information, passwords or material you are not entitled to share. Obtain a separate agreement before disclosures requiring confidentiality. Do not use someone else’s private material without permission.
IF and speakers retain rights in their original slides, templates and teaching materials. You may use materials supplied for personal learning and your own business planning, subject to clearly disclosed licences. Redistribution, resale, publication, recording or use to train AI models requires the relevant owner’s permission or a legal right to do so. This does not restrict use of general skills and knowledge learned.
IF may use your contributions as reasonably needed to conduct the session. Public display, publication or promotional reuse of your identifiable work, pitch or testimonial requires separate permission. Any future co-created project will need a separate agreement covering roles, ownership, compensation and responsibilities.
13. Photography, recording and testimonials
Marketing photography and recording are optional and require a separate choice. Buying a ticket is not consent to public use of your face, voice, name or testimonial. IF will identify planned recording and provide a reasonable way to avoid it, such as a no-filming identifier or seating arrangement.
An optional media consent should state what will be captured, where it may be published and how to request withdrawal for future use. Refusal does not affect participation or future opportunity selection. Withdrawal requests will be acted on prospectively where reasonably possible; third-party copies already shared may not be fully recoverable.
Participants may not record or publish identifiable attendees, private discussions or protected materials without the relevant permissions. Any recording for delivery to attendees or operational purposes must also be disclosed in advance and handled under the privacy notice.
14. Personal information and communications
IF uses necessary registration information, booking records and submitted answers to administer the event, tailor session content, handle payments/refunds, provide support, address incidents and meet legal obligations. The privacy notice must identify the responsible organiser, data collected, purposes, providers, retention approach and contact for requests.
IF may share the minimum information necessary with venue staff, payment providers and service providers involved in delivering the event, subject to appropriate restrictions. Attendee contact details will not be given to other participants, mentors or prospective collaborators for independent contact without your permission, except where legally required.
Joining a WhatsApp or similar networking group is optional; group members may see your phone number and profile. Event administration messages are distinct from optional marketing and future-opportunity messages. You can decline or unsubscribe from the latter without affecting the ticket.
Records will be retained only as needed for disclosed purposes, legal accounting requirements and legitimate dispute handling, according to the published privacy notice; optional marketing records will be reviewed when consent is withdrawn. Privacy requests and withdrawals can be sent to the listed contact. Applicable legal retention duties may prevent immediate deletion of some records.
15. Responsibility for later business decisions
Any later business launch or commercial experience is a separate undertaking. Its creator must assess suitability, demand, costs, taxes, registrations, licences, insurance, customer terms, intellectual property permissions, safety and other applicable obligations. Discussion at this session does not supply those approvals or authorise use of a venue, brand or content.
Do not treat an introductory conversation, illustrative model or positive feedback as funding approval, professional clearance, validation of profitability or permission to incur costs on IF’s behalf.
16. Events outside reasonable control
Extreme weather, public emergencies, government restrictions, venue closure, serious illness and major infrastructure failure may affect delivery. IF will take reasonable steps to mitigate disruption and inform participants. Cancellation, postponement and material-change remedies in section 8 continue to apply. There is no automatic right to retain a payment merely because disruption was outside IF’s control.
17. Liability: limited where lawful, not eliminated
Participants accept the ordinary uncertainties of education, networking and independently pursuing business ideas. IF does not insure a participant against failure to earn or failure of an independently undertaken project merely because an idea was discussed at the session.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, IF will not be responsible for remote or indirect commercial losses, lost expected profits or lost opportunities arising from independent decisions after the session. For ordinary contractual claims about the session that can lawfully be limited, IF’s aggregate liability is limited to the amount paid by the affected participant for the affected session. Refunds already paid for the same loss count toward that amount.
These exclusions and the cap do not apply to death or personal injury caused by IF’s negligence; fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or gross negligence; statutory refund duties; consumer, privacy or other statutory remedies that cannot lawfully be restricted; or any liability that applicable law does not permit IF to exclude or limit. They do not waive reasonable care and safety obligations.
A participant is responsible for direct loss or third-party claims to the extent caused by that participant’s unlawful acts, wilful misconduct, negligent damage or infringement of others’ rights. Any reimbursement must reflect proven responsibility and reasonable costs, without shifting IF’s own fault to the participant. IF will promptly notify the participant of a claim and will not agree a settlement imposing obligations on them without consent. There is no blanket indemnity for attending, making a complaint or exercising legal rights.
18. Complaints and disputes
Contact [Grievance contact] with your booking reference and concern. IF will acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and aim to resolve them within 30 days, or sooner if law requires. Urgent safety complaints will be prioritised. These service targets do not create a shorter legal deadline for your claim.
Indian law applies. Ordinary courts with lawful territorial jurisdiction over the event or contracting organiser may hear disputes, without restricting a consumer’s right to approach a competent consumer commission, regulator or other forum, including any forum available where the consumer resides or works under applicable law. There is no compulsory waiver of proceedings, short claim-expiry period or organiser-appointed sole arbitrator.
19. The agreement and later changes
The booking confirmation, event description, disclosed inclusions and these terms form the booking agreement. They do not invalidate actionable representations or legal rights arising from advertising, communications or applicable law. An event-specific improvement to your rights that IF agrees in writing remains effective.
IF may clarify administrative details with notice, but may not retrospectively remove material rights, add compulsory costs or reduce booked services by changing a webpage. Material changes to an existing booking need your agreement or the remedies in section 8.
If a clause is unlawful or unenforceable, it will apply only to the lawful extent, or be severed where appropriate, without removing statutory protections. The remainder continues where legally possible. Failure to enforce a clause once does not permanently waive it.
20. Acceptance at checkout
Before payment, make the full terms and privacy notice accessible and display the total price and cancellation policy. Use a required, unticked agreement box with the following wording:
I am 18 or older and have read and accept the event Terms and Conditions and cancellation policy. I understand that this three-hour session is educational and exploratory. Payment is for the stated session; income, employment, business success, platform listing and future opportunities are not guaranteed. My statutory rights remain unaffected.
Use separate optional, unticked choices for:
Future opportunities: “I would like IF to contact me about future programmes and opportunities. I can unsubscribe at any time.”
Promotional media: “I agree to the photography/video uses described in the separate Media Consent notice. Declining does not affect my participation.”
Networking group: “I would like to join the optional networking group and understand that members may see my phone number and profile.”
Organiser implementation notes — remove from the published participant terms
Replace every bracketed field. Identify the actual contracting party; a brand name alone is insufficient for clear contracting and complaints. Do not assume IF is a registered college or accredited business school.
Approve the proposed refund policy, staffing commitments, grievance timelines, privacy notice and media process before publishing. Do not promise processes you cannot run. Review cancellation charges against actual costs and applicable consumer/e-commerce requirements.
Display a short disclosure near registration and payment: “An exploratory business and creator session. No guaranteed earnings, employment, listings or future selection. Ticket covers the stated three-hour session.” Avoid presenting this as a complete substitute for the full terms.
Keep advertising consistent. “Explore ways to earn through your skills” is different from “Attend and replace your salary.” A disclaimer cannot repair a misleading headline or an unsupported earnings claim. Explain selection, additional costs and availability before payment when material to the offer.
Evidence the resources you describe: actual platform functionality, permission to identify venues/mentors, and realistic access terms. Do not imply travel placements, free venues, guaranteed demand, free lifelong mentorship or automatic listings unless genuinely provided and written into the offer.
Retain the exact accepted terms version, event-page snapshot, timestamp, booking record, total-price disclosure and separate consent choices. Provide the participant a confirmation or downloadable copy. Use proportionate data collection and security.
Obtain venue and speaker agreements covering responsibilities, permissions, safety and cancellation. Consider appropriate event/public-liability cover; these terms do not replace insurance or safe operations.
Treat higher-risk travel, overnight retreats, physical activities and later commercial partnerships separately. They require operational assessment and appropriately tailored agreements, not just this session’s disclaimer.
Have local counsel review limitation, indemnity, refunds, privacy, tax and jurisdiction wording against the actual operator and delivery model. This draft is a starting point, not an assurance of enforceability or exhaustive legal coverage.
