Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the T-IDEAS website, including its pages, published material, enquiry facilities and other features made available through the website (“Website”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website. These Terms apply to website use only and should be read together with any specific terms or agreements that may apply to a separate service, assignment or transaction.

2. About T-IDEAS

T-IDEAS is a tourism development organisation focused on developing tourism appropriately and helping destinations, businesses, investors, institutions and stakeholders explore tourism potential and create viable opportunities.

The Website presents information about T-IDEAS, its areas of work, initiatives, perspectives and ways to make contact. References in these Terms to “T-IDEAS”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the organisation responsible for operating this Website.

The precise legal identity of the entity or person contracting for any particular professional assignment will be identified in the relevant proposal, invoice, agreement or other engagement document, as applicable.

3. Website Information and Its Use

Content on the Website is provided for general information, professional communication and discussion. It may include articles, observations, opinions, project perspectives, examples, descriptions of services, photographs, videos, illustrations, data or other material relating to tourism and associated sectors.

Although we make reasonable efforts to present information thoughtfully and keep it relevant, website content may be general, indicative, selective or time-sensitive. It may not reflect the latest position, circumstances or requirements of a particular destination, project, market, regulation or organisation.

You should independently assess the relevance and suitability of information before relying on it for a commercial, investment, operational, regulatory or other decision. Where a decision requires professional advice, project-specific investigation or current verification, obtain the appropriate advice and undertake the necessary due diligence.

Nothing on the Website is, by itself, an offer, invitation, recommendation, investment solicitation, financial advice, legal advice, technical certification or guarantee of a particular result.

4. Website Use Does Not Create a Consultancy Engagement

Accessing the Website, reading its content, contacting T-IDEAS, submitting an enquiry or participating in an initial discussion does not by itself create a client-consultant relationship, partnership, agency, joint venture, fiduciary relationship or other professional engagement.

Any consultancy assignment or other professional engagement will be subject to a separate written proposal, letter of engagement, contract or agreement accepted by the relevant parties. That document will define the agreed scope, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, payment terms, timelines, assumptions, exclusions, confidentiality arrangements and other applicable conditions.

Where a separate signed or accepted agreement conflicts with these Website Terms in relation to the specific engagement, the terms of that separate agreement will govern that engagement to the extent of the conflict. These Terms will continue to govern general use of the Website.

5. Enquiries and Communications

The Website may allow visitors to submit enquiries about tourism opportunities, projects, services, collaborations or other matters. By submitting an enquiry, you confirm that the information you provide is, to the best of your knowledge, accurate and that you are entitled to share it with us.

Submitting an enquiry does not oblige T-IDEAS to respond, accept an assignment, provide a proposal, undertake due diligence, reserve resources or enter into any commercial arrangement. Any response or preliminary discussion is subject to further consideration and, where relevant, a separate agreement.

Please do not send passwords, payment card details, government identity numbers, sensitive personal information or confidential commercial documents through a general enquiry form unless we have specifically requested the information and agreed an appropriate method for receiving it.

You are responsible for ensuring that the contact details you provide are correct and that you are authorised to act on behalf of any organisation you identify in your enquiry.

6. Intellectual Property and Website Content

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its content—including text, articles, graphics, photographs, illustrations, videos, branding, logos, page designs, compilations and other materials—are owned by T-IDEAS or are used with permission or under an applicable licence. They are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may access, view and use the Website for your personal, informational and legitimate business evaluation purposes. You may also share a link to a publicly accessible page, provided that the link is not presented in a misleading way and does not imply an endorsement or association that does not exist.

Except where permitted by law or expressly authorised by us in writing, you must not:

• Copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license or commercially exploit Website content as a whole or in substantial part.
• Modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works from Website content for publication or commercial use.
• Use T-IDEAS names, logos, marks or other brand elements in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation or authorisation without permission.
• Remove copyright, attribution, trademark or other proprietary notices.
• Systematically extract, scrape, harvest or compile Website content for a database, competing service, training dataset or other purpose without prior written permission.

Any permission to use a specific item of content must be obtained separately where required. Third-party material displayed on the Website remains subject to the rights and terms of its respective owner.

7. Acceptable and Prohibited Use

You agree to use the Website lawfully and in a manner that does not interfere with its operation, security or availability, or with the rights of others.

You must not:

• Use the Website for an unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory or otherwise prohibited purpose.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its server, database, hosting environment or connected systems.
• Introduce malware, malicious code, harmful scripts or content intended to disrupt or compromise the Website.
• Interfere with or bypass security, validation, rate-limiting or access-control measures.
• Submit false, misleading, abusive, irrelevant or unsolicited promotional material through the enquiry form.
• Use automated tools to overload, disrupt, copy or systematically collect information from the Website without our written authorisation.

We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe that these Terms have been breached or that the Website is being misused or exposed to a security risk.

8. Third-Party Websites, Services and Content

The Website may refer to or link to external websites, social media platforms, publications, maps, tools, service providers or other third-party resources. Such links are provided for convenience, reference or further information.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a link does not mean that T-IDEAS owns, controls, endorses or accepts responsibility for the external website, its content, products, services, availability, security or privacy practices. Your use of an external website or service is governed by its own terms and policies.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, continued availability or suitability of third-party content. You should review the relevant third party’s terms and privacy policy before using its services or providing information to it.

9. Initiatives, Collaborations and Other Organisations

The Website may describe initiatives, concepts, projects, platforms, collaborations or opportunities that T-IDEAS has originated, supported, advised on, participated in or is exploring. The nature and extent of T-IDEAS’ involvement may differ from one initiative to another.

Unless a page or separate agreement expressly states otherwise, information about an initiative does not mean that T-IDEAS owns, operates, manages, represents or guarantees the activities of every organisation, platform, project partner, vendor or service provider mentioned.

Any booking, purchase, investment, participation, service or other transaction involving a separate organisation or platform is subject to the terms, disclosures and arrangements applicable to that organisation or transaction. Please verify the relevant contracting party and terms before proceeding.

10. Website Availability and Changes

We aim to keep the Website accessible and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure or continuous availability. Access may occasionally be suspended, restricted or interrupted for maintenance, updates, technical issues, security reasons or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We may add, modify, suspend or remove pages, features, content or services at any time. We may also correct errors, update information or change the Website’s design and functionality without prior notice.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis, without a representation or warranty that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current, secure or suitable for every purpose.

T-IDEAS does not warrant that general information published on the Website will be sufficient for a particular project, investment, operational decision or professional requirement. Any examples, observations, indicative figures or perspectives are not a substitute for project-specific verification and due diligence.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, T-IDEAS will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, anticipated savings, data or goodwill arising from or connected with use of, or inability to use, the Website or reliance on its general content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted under applicable law, including liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any liability arising from a separately contracted professional engagement will be addressed under the agreement governing that engagement.

12. Responsibility for Breach or Misuse

If your unlawful use of the Website or your breach of these Terms causes loss, damage, claims or reasonable costs to T-IDEAS or others, you may be responsible to the extent provided by applicable law.

Nothing in this section requires you to indemnify T-IDEAS for losses caused by T-IDEAS’ own breach, negligence, wilful misconduct or other liability that cannot lawfully be transferred or excluded.

13. Privacy and Personal Information

Personal information submitted through the Website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains the information we collect, the purposes for which it is used, relevant service providers, retention and the choices available to visitors.

By using the enquiry facility, you should also review the Privacy Policy and the notices presented with the form. These Terms do not replace any consent or notice required at the point of collection.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of India, without prejudice to any mandatory legal protections that apply to a visitor under applicable law.

Any dispute concerning these Terms or general use of the Website will, where possible, first be addressed through good-faith discussions. Subject to applicable law and any mandatory rules on jurisdiction, the competent courts in India will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to these Terms.

If a separate written agreement applies to a professional engagement or transaction, the governing law and dispute-resolution provisions in that agreement will apply to that engagement or transaction.

15. Changes to These Terms and Contact

We may revise these Terms to reflect changes to the Website, our activities or applicable legal requirements. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms are published will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
