Terms of Service

QuantaVectra Labs is a technology and AI advisory firm operated by Nishant Nagwani, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. We work with early-stage startup founders across India.

We offer the following advisory services, each subject to a separate engagement agreement or statement of work:

• AI Foundations: business process workflow mapping, data quality assessment, AI strategy, and investor and founder reports for pre-seed founders
• Cloud Cost Optimisation: infrastructure audit, savings identification, implementation support, and FinOps governance for Seed and Series A startups
• Agentic AI Audit: audit layer design, build, and governance handoff for startups with AI agents in production
• Additional services including Technical Assessment, Product Development, and Fractional CTO engagements

The specific scope, timeline, deliverables, and fees for each engagement are set out in a written engagement agreement. These Terms apply alongside that agreement. In the event of a conflict, the engagement agreement takes precedence.

You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Use the website in any manner that violates applicable Indian laws or regulations
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its underlying infrastructure
• Scrape, copy, republish, or create derivative works from website content without our prior written permission
• Transmit any harmful, misleading, or disruptive content through the website or to us via email

Free consultations booked through our website or by email are provided at no charge and without obligation. A consultation does not constitute a formal engagement, does not create a client relationship, and does not obligate either party to proceed further.

We reserve the right to decline any consultation or engagement request at our discretion, without providing a reason.

A formal advisory engagement begins only when both parties have signed a written engagement agreement or statement of work. Verbal agreements, emails, or conversations — including consultations — do not constitute a binding engagement.

All engagement agreements will specify: scope of work, deliverables, timeline, fees, payment schedule, and any specific confidentiality or data access terms relevant to that engagement.

6.1 Client information

We treat all information shared by clients as strictly confidential — including business operations, financial data, infrastructure details, team information, product strategy, and customer data. We do not disclose client information to third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy or as required by law.

6.2 Our methodologies

Clients agree to treat any proprietary methodologies, frameworks, templates, audit approaches, or tools shared by QuantaVectra Labs during an engagement as confidential and not to reproduce or share them with third parties without our written consent.

6.3 End-user data

Where a client's systems contain personal data of their end users, and such data is accessible during an engagement, the client warrants that they have a lawful basis to permit our access for the agreed engagement purpose. We handle such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and will not use, retain, or share it beyond what is strictly necessary.

For engagements requiring access to client infrastructure or systems:

• Access is strictly limited to what is agreed in the engagement scope
• All access is read-only unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing
• Access credentials are stored securely and revoked upon completion of the relevant engagement phase
• We will not access, modify, or delete any client systems, databases, or data beyond the agreed scope
• The client is responsible for granting and revoking access and for ensuring appropriate permissions are in place

8.1 Our content

All content on this website — including text, service descriptions, frameworks, and structure — is the intellectual property of QuantaVectra Labs. You may not reproduce, adapt, or distribute it without our prior written permission.

8.2 Engagement deliverables

Reports, roadmaps, findings documents, and other deliverables produced during an engagement are licensed to the client for their own internal business use upon receipt of full payment. QuantaVectra Labs retains the right to apply learnings, methodologies, and anonymised insights to future engagements.

8.3 Client materials

All materials, data, and systems shared by the client remain the property of the client. We claim no rights over client data, infrastructure, code, or intellectual property.

Payment terms are set out in the relevant engagement agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date
• We reserve the right to pause work if payment is overdue by more than 30 days, with written notice
• All fees are in Indian Rupees (INR) unless otherwise specified and are exclusive of applicable GST
• No refunds are provided for work already completed and delivered

Our services constitute professional advisory provided in good faith, based on the information available at the time of engagement. We make no guarantee of specific financial outcomes, cost savings, fundraising results, or business performance improvements.

Results referenced on our website (such as cost reduction percentages or savings figures) reflect outcomes from prior engagements and are illustrative only. They are not a guarantee of future results. Every business is different and outcomes will vary.

Content on our website is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Indian law, QuantaVectra Labs and Nishant Nagwani shall not be liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages
• Any loss of revenue, profit, data, or business opportunity
• Decisions made by the client based on our advisory recommendations
• Any third-party claims arising from the client's use of our deliverables

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from a specific engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for that engagement.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless QuantaVectra Labs and Nishant Nagwani from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: your use of our website or services; your breach of these Terms; your violation of any applicable law; or any claim by a third party relating to data you provided to us.

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing written notice as specified in the engagement agreement. On termination:

• The client is liable for fees for all work completed and delivered up to the date of termination
• We will deliver any completed phase outputs upon receipt of outstanding payment
• All infrastructure access will be revoked within 24 hours of termination notice
• Confidentiality obligations of both parties survive termination indefinitely

These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of India. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any engagement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of at least 30 days from written notice of the dispute.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with any signed engagement agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and QuantaVectra Labs with respect to the subject matter herein, and supersede all prior discussions, representations, or agreements.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on our website with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website or services after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
