1. Scope of Free Listing

A Free Listing includes: business name, category, website URL, one contact email/phone, a short factual description (max 60 words), cities served, and your logo (where supplied). It does not include photos, case studies, testimonials, priority placement, or active recommendation to school operators. Those features require the Ignify Partner Agreement.

Ignify makes no representation that the Free Listing will generate enquiries, leads, or business. Inclusion is not an endorsement, certification, quality rating, or commercial relationship.

2. Licence to Use Your Name, Logo and Materials

You grant Ignify a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence (for the listing duration and 12 months thereafter) to use your name, logo, trademarks, brand identity, website screenshots, and any supplied marketing materials for: (a) displaying your listing in the Directory; (b) including you in vendor recommendations to schools via any medium; (c) referencing you in Ignify's own marketing — website, pitch decks, investor presentations, social media, case studies, and consulting proposals — to illustrate the Directory's scale; (d) promoting the Vendor Directory and Ignify Partner programme generally. You confirm you own these rights and that Ignify's use will not infringe third-party rights.

3. Your Representations and Warranties

You represent that: (a) you are duly registered under Indian law and the person submitting this form is authorised; (b) all information submitted is accurate, complete, and current; (c) you hold all regulatory licences required for your business (GST, PSARA, FSSAI, POCSO, POSH Internal Committee where you have 10+ employees, RPwD accessibility where applicable, Child Labour Prohibition Act, Minimum Wages Act, fire NOC, etc., as applicable); (d) your listing does not infringe any third-party IP, privacy, or publicity rights; (e) you will not submit any materials depicting or identifying minors (under 18) without verifiable parental/guardian consent per the DPDP Rules 2025 and POCSO Act 2012; (f) you are not subject to any undischarged order or regulatory action materially affecting your ability to serve schools.

4. Ignify's Editorial Discretion

Ignify reserves the absolute right to review, approve, decline, edit, reformat, suspend, or remove any Free Listing at its sole discretion, without notice and without stating reasons. Editorial decisions are final. You waive any right to contest such decisions.

5. No Commercial Relationship

This Agreement creates no partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or commercial relationship. No fee is payable either way. You must not hold yourself out as an "Ignify Partner," "Ignify-certified," "Ignify-verified," or "Ignify-recommended." Misrepresentation will result in immediate removal and possible legal action.

6. Your Obligations

You must notify Ignify within 7 business days of any material change (contact person, address, services, loss of licence, insolvency, regulatory action). You must conduct yourself professionally and lawfully with all school operators. You must not use the "Ignify", "Ignify Solutions", "Ignify Partner", or "Ignify Pre School" names or trademarks in your marketing except to truthfully state that you hold a Free Listing or Ignify Partner designation in the Vendor Directory.

7. Data Protection & Removal

You consent to Ignify processing your information for operating the Directory, verification, and sharing your business contact details with school operators who request recommendations in your category, in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025.

You may withdraw consent and request removal anytime by emailing sales@ignifysolutions.in. Ignify shall action legitimate removal requests within 30 (thirty) working days of receipt.

Retention: On removal, your data is retained only as needed for legal/tax/regulatory obligations (typically 7 years) or to defend live claims; all other personal data is deleted or anonymised within 90 days. Rejected applicants' data deleted within 90 days.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF MONETARY CLAIMS

The Free Listing is provided at no cost and with no consideration exchanged. You expressly waive any and all claims, demands, actions, or proceedings against Ignify for any money, damages, compensation, refund, indemnity, or any other pecuniary relief whatsoever, whether in contract, tort, negligence, statutory duty, restitution or otherwise, arising out of or connected with the Free Listing — including: removal, suspension, rejection, modification of the listing; errors or inaccuracies; unavailability or downtime; security incidents; not receiving enquiries; or any editorial or business decision of Ignify.

Your sole and exclusive remedy is removal of your listing. Nothing excludes liability for death/personal injury due to negligence, fraud, or liability that by law cannot be excluded.

9. Indemnity

You shall indemnify, defend, and hold Ignify, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates fully harmless (on a full-indemnity basis, including reasonable legal fees) against any claim, demand, action, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense arising from: (a) breach of this Agreement; (b) any inaccuracy or omission in your submitted information; (c) any claim by any third party (including school operators, customers, employees, regulators) arising from your goods, services, or conduct; (d) any infringement by your materials of any third-party IP, privacy, or publicity rights; (e) violation by you of applicable law (consumer protection, advertising, tax, data protection, sectoral safety including POCSO, FSSAI, PSARA); (f) any proceeding against Ignify connected with you or your listing.

This indemnity is in addition to the waiver in clause 8 — you have no right to claim money from Ignify but remain liable to pay Ignify for loss caused by you. The indemnity survives termination.

The "Ignify Partner" label is a disclosure of this commercial relationship and is not an independent quality rating, certification, audit, or endorsement.

8. Data Protection & Removal

You consent to Ignify processing your information for operating the Directory, verification, invoicing, recommendations, and promoting the Partner programme. School operator contact details shared with you for specific enquiries may only be used for that enquiry — not added to other marketing databases.

Removal requests actioned within 30 working days. Cancellation and refunds are handled under clause 4.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER

Ignify's aggregate liability (whether in contract, tort, negligence, statutory duty, restitution or otherwise) shall not exceed the total Partnership Fees actually paid in the 12 months preceding the claim, save for any pro-rata refund due under clause 4.

You expressly waive any claim for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, reputation, data, anticipated savings, or loss from not receiving any particular volume of enquiries.

Save for the express pro-rata refund in clause 4, you have no right to claim any refund, damages, compensation, or other pecuniary relief on any ground — including: the Directory not producing outcomes; removal of your Profile under this Agreement; errors, inaccuracies or downtime; security incidents; editorial decisions; or any other act/omission of Ignify.

This indemnity is uncapped and in addition to clause 9. It survives termination. Ignify indemnifies you only against claims that your use of the "Ignify Partner" badge strictly per guidelines infringes Ignify's own IP — this is capped by clause 9.1.

11. Confidentiality, Force Majeure & Non-Solicitation

Each Party keeps confidential any non-public business, financial, or technical information disclosed by the other. Obligations survive termination for 3 years.

Affected Party notifies within 7 days; Term extends by duration. If event continues beyond 60 days, either Party may terminate with pro-rata refund (no onboarding charge retained).

Does not prevent fulfilling unsolicited orders or engaging with pre-existing documented clients.
