Terms of use.

Using this website

The pages on this site describe our services. They are an invitation to talk, not an offer that forms a contract when you read them or submit the contact form. You may not misuse the site, attempt to break it, or scrape it in a way that degrades it for other visitors.

Maatara Consulting has teams in Bengaluru, India and Concord, California, USA. Questions about these terms go to info@maatara-consulting.com.

Engagements

Consulting, engineering, security and related work starts only when both sides have agreed a written statement of work. That document names the scope, the timeline, the fees and the assumptions. Anything not written there is not in scope.

We work with clients in India and in other countries. A local law that cannot be waived still applies to you. These website terms do not replace a master services agreement you have already signed with us.

Intellectual property

You keep ownership of the materials you provide. Deliverables named in the statement of work are assigned to you once the fees for that work are paid, unless the statement of work says otherwise.

Maatara Consulting keeps its pre-existing tools, libraries, templates and know-how, and a licence to use them inside your deliverables. We do not claim ownership of your product, your data or your brand. You may not copy the text or design of this website for your own marketing.

Confidentiality

Each side will keep the other’s non-public information confidential and use it only for the engagement. This duty does not cover information that is already public, that was already known without a duty of confidence, or that a law or court requires to be disclosed. The statement of work may set a longer or stricter duty, and that document controls.

Fees

Fees, expenses and payment timing are those named in the statement of work. The currency is the one that document names, whether Indian rupees, US dollars or another currency. Invoices are due as stated there. We may pause work if an undisputed invoice remains unpaid past its due date, after notice to you.

Liability

The website is provided as it stands. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, our total liability arising from use of the website is limited to the direct damages you actually incur, and not to indirect or consequential loss.

For a paid engagement, our aggregate liability is capped at the fees you paid us for that engagement under the statement of work, except where liability cannot legally be limited, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Nothing on this page excludes a right that Indian law, or a mandatory law in your country, does not allow us to exclude.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Bengaluru have jurisdiction, without cutting out a mandatory protection you have in the country where you live or where your organisation is established. A statement of work may name a different governing law for that engagement, and that choice applies to the work it covers.

Changes

We may update these terms by publishing a new version on this page and changing the date above. The version in force when you use the site is the one that applies to that use. An engagement already under a statement of work continues on that document’s terms.
