Website Terms of Use

1. Website Purpose

The Website provides information concerning speaking and moderation, operating leadership, media appearances, The INDUStry Show, ASAN and community activities, professional background and experience, business working sessions, articles, interviews, recordings, and media resources, and methods for submitting inquiries and scheduling time.

Website content is provided for general informational purposes.

2. No Professional Advice

Nothing on the Website constitutes legal advice, tax advice, financial or investment advice, accounting advice, medical or mental-health advice, immigration advice, employment advice, securities advice, a valuation, a recommendation to buy, sell, invest in, operate, acquire, or dispose of a business, or a guarantee of business, professional, financial, legal, or personal results.

Statements regarding businesses, acquisitions, growth, operations, leadership, fundraising, community-building, or other experience are contextual and should not be treated as instructions for a particular situation.

You are responsible for conducting your own evaluation and consulting qualified advisers before making significant decisions.

3. No Engagement or Relationship Created

Accessing the Website, submitting an inquiry, scheduling a call, sending information, or participating in an introductory conversation does not create a consulting relationship, advisory relationship, employment relationship, operating-leadership engagement, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, agency relationship, confidential relationship, attorney-client relationship, commitment to provide services, or guarantee that an inquiry will be accepted.

A professional engagement exists only when its material terms have been expressly accepted in a written agreement or other clear written confirmation.

Do not send confidential information before an appropriate relationship and method of communication have been established.

4. Inquiries

The Website allows users to submit inquiries concerning speaking, moderation, operating leadership, media, ASAN or community partnerships, and other matters.

You agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorized to submit.

Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee a response, a meeting, acceptance, availability, a proposal, an introduction, a speaking or media engagement, an operating-leadership engagement, a partnership, or any particular outcome.

An inquiry may be accepted, declined, redirected, or left unanswered based on fit, availability, completeness, timing, capacity, or other reasonable considerations.

Statements regarding typical response times are goals rather than guarantees.

5. Scheduling

The Website may provide links for scheduling introductory telephone calls, invited video calls, approved recordings, paid working sessions, and other identified appointments.

You agree to select only the appointment type that accurately matches the purpose of the conversation.

A booking may be declined, cancelled, or rescheduled when you were not invited or authorized to use the selected calendar, you selected the wrong appointment type, the stated purpose is inaccurate or incomplete, the request is not a fit, a conflict, emergency, illness, travel issue, or technical problem occurs, or other reasonable circumstances require a change.

Scheduling a call does not create an obligation to pursue an engagement or transaction.

6. Paid Business Working Sessions

A paid business working session is a limited conversation focused on a specific business problem, decision, or opportunity identified by the purchaser.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a working session does not include advance research, written deliverables, legal, tax, accounting, investment, medical, or other regulated professional advice, implementation, ongoing support, follow-up work, introductions, fundraising, a business valuation, review of extensive documents, or a guarantee of any outcome.

You remain responsible for all business decisions and actions taken after the session.

Information provided during the session should be sufficient to discuss the issue but should not include unnecessary trade secrets, personal data, privileged material, regulated information, or highly sensitive records.

Any cancellation, rescheduling, transfer, no-show, or refund terms displayed during booking or payment are incorporated into these Terms.

When no separate terms are displayed, a purchaser should provide reasonable notice of a requested change, rescheduling is subject to availability, missed sessions and late cancellations may be nonrefundable, and a refund may be provided when the session is cancelled by Nitin and cannot reasonably be rescheduled.

7. Speaking and Moderation

Website descriptions of speaking or moderation services are general and do not create a binding offer.

The scope of a speaking or moderation engagement may be governed by a separate written agreement addressing matters such as date and location, format, session length, preparation, participants, fees, travel, recording, content use, cancellation, force majeure, promotion, and technical requirements.

No date is considered confirmed until it is expressly confirmed in writing and any required agreement or payment has been completed.

Event organizers are responsible for providing accurate event information, appropriate facilities, lawful working conditions, and any permissions needed for recording, promotion, or participant participation.

8. Operating Leadership

Information concerning operating leadership is descriptive and does not constitute an offer to invest, acquire, manage, operate, advise, or become employed by a business.

Any operating-leadership engagement requires independent diligence and a separate written agreement.

Until such an agreement is executed, no duty to investigate or act exists, no exclusivity exists, no authority to represent or bind a business exists, no fiduciary or employment relationship exists, no confidential relationship should be assumed, and no compensation arrangement is established.

Statements about preferred company size, business profile, industries, compensation structure, or engagement duration are general guidelines and may change based on the circumstances.

9. Media and Recordings

The Website may provide information and materials for journalists, producers, podcast hosts, conference organizers, and other media professionals.

Approved biographies, headshots, topic documents, and press materials may be used only for legitimate editorial, event, interview, or promotional purposes directly related to Nitin Bajaj’s participation or coverage.

You may not materially alter a photograph or biography in a misleading manner, use an image or quotation to imply endorsement of an unrelated person, organization, product, service, political campaign, or cause, sell or sublicense press assets, use press assets for merchandise, or use materials after permission has been withdrawn where continued use is not otherwise legally permitted.

Recording, publication, ownership, editing, distribution, promotional use, and reuse may be governed by a separate written or recorded agreement.

An approved interview or recording may be cancelled or withheld from publication when material terms have not been honored, subject to applicable agreements and law.

10. Testimonials, Quotations, and Third-Party References

The Website may include testimonials, quotations, client or participant names, company names, event names, publications, university names, logos, and references to third parties.

Testimonials reflect the views and experiences of the individuals quoted. They do not guarantee that another person will receive the same result.

Third-party names, trademarks, and logos belong to their respective owners and are used for identification, commentary, biographical context, or to describe prior participation or experience.

Their appearance does not necessarily imply sponsorship, endorsement, employment, partnership, or an ongoing relationship.

11. Experience and Performance Statements

Statements concerning professional experience, revenue, acquisitions, fundraising, geographic operations, audience reach, events, partnerships, media reach, or other outcomes are based on records and information considered reasonable when published.

These figures may reflect cumulative results across multiple organizations, roles, projects, or periods; be rounded; include work completed with teams and organizations; change as new activity occurs; and not be independently audited unless expressly stated.

Past experience and results do not guarantee future performance.

12. ASAN and The INDUStry Show

The Website may refer or link to the American South Asian Network, Antha Prerna Foundation, The INDUStry Show, and other organizations, publications, or initiatives.

Those organizations, platforms, and initiatives may have separate ownership, governance, privacy policies, terms, participation requirements, and operational practices.

An inquiry submitted through this Website concerning ASAN or a community partnership may be referred to ASAN or Antha Prerna Foundation for review.

Use of an external ASAN or The INDUStry Show website is governed by the terms and policies displayed on that website.

13. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its content, including text, graphics, designs, photographs, videos, audio, downloadable materials, presentations, documents, logos, and software, are owned by Nitin Bajaj or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may share ordinary links to public Website pages and quote limited excerpts with appropriate attribution, subject to applicable law.

14. User-Submitted Materials

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions and limited analytics.

Dismissing a cookie notice does not waive privacy rights or create consent where consent is legally required.
