4. Intellectual Property

4.1 DAVnSCI Content

All content on www.davnsci.co.in — including text, graphics, illustrations, course materials, templates, and digital products — is owned by or licensed to DAVnSCI.COM LLP and is protected under applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, adapt, or commercially exploit any such content without our prior written consent.

4.2 Deliverables

Unless a separate written agreement explicitly provides otherwise, all analyses, visualisations, reports, and other work products created by DAVnSCI in the course of a consultancy engagement remain the intellectual property of DAVnSCI.COM LLP until full payment is received, at which point ownership of the specific deliverable (but not of any underlying methodologies, tools, or templates) transfers to the client. Any proprietary methodologies, workflows, code libraries, or template assets developed or used by DAVnSCI remain exclusively owned by DAVnSCI regardless of client engagement.

4.3 Client Data and Materials

All data, documents, and materials provided by clients for the purpose of a project ("Client Materials") remain the sole property of the client. DAVnSCI will not use Client Materials for any purpose other than delivering the agreed services.

4.4 Digital Products

Purchased digital products are licensed to the individual purchaser for personal or organisational use only. Redistribution, resale, or sharing of purchased digital products is not permitted without explicit written authorisation from DAVnSCI.

5. Confidentiality

DAVnSCI treats all project-related information shared by clients — including research data, experimental results, business context, and unpublished findings — as strictly confidential. We will not disclose such information to any third party without the client's consent, except where required by law or a court order.

Clients are likewise expected to treat any proprietary methods, pricing structures, or non-public information about DAVnSCI disclosed during an engagement as confidential. Where a project requires a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), this may be arranged as part of the project agreement.

6. Payment Terms

6.1 Digital Products

Digital products purchased through Gumroad (international buyers) or Instamojo (buyers in India) are delivered electronically. All payments are processed entirely by those third-party platforms. DAVnSCI does not collect, store, or process any card, banking, or payment credentials. Each purchase is subject to the Single User License Agreement.

Digital product purchases are generally non-refundable. A refund may be considered if the product is technically defective or was materially misrepresented. Refund requests must be submitted to info@davnsci.co.in within 7 days of purchase with a description of the issue.

6.2 Consultancy and Training Services

Payment terms for consultancy and training engagements are defined in the applicable project agreement or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due within 14 days of issue. DAVnSCI reserves the right to pause or suspend work on engagements where payment is overdue. Advance payments or deposits, where collected, are non-refundable unless DAVnSCI is unable to deliver the agreed services for reasons within our control.

6.3 Taxes

Applicable Indian taxes (including GST, where applicable) will be stated on invoices. International clients are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies imposed by their own jurisdiction.

7. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use this website or our services to:

  • Engage in any unlawful activity or facilitate illegal conduct
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information in any inquiry or communication
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system, data, or account associated with DAVnSCI
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to extract content from this website without permission
  • Infringe upon the intellectual property rights of DAVnSCI or any third party
  • Harass, impersonate, or harm any individual or organisation

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

This website and all services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. DAVnSCI makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any content, analysis, or deliverable.

Scientific analysis and data interpretation involve inherent uncertainty. DAVnSCI's outputs represent professional judgement based on the information provided and should not be treated as definitive or infallible. Clients are responsible for validating results in the context of their own research and regulatory requirements.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Indian law, DAVnSCI.COM LLP's total liability to any client or user — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — shall not exceed the amount paid by that client to DAVnSCI in the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

DAVnSCI shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of data, or loss of research opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Third-Party Links and Platforms

This website may contain links to third-party platforms (including Gumroad and Instamojo for payment processing). DAVnSCI is not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of those platforms. Use of third-party platforms is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, including the Indian Contract Act 1872, the Information Technology Act 2000, and the Consumer Protection Act 2019 (where applicable). Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
