Terms of Participation

1. About these terms

These Terms govern your use of VentureFlo's website, applications, events, and startup support services. VentureFlo is a program operated by SA Consulting, referred to in these Terms as "VentureFlo," "we," "us," or "our."

By creating an account, submitting an application, purchasing a service, or accepting these Terms, you agree to the provisions applicable to your participation. Investor participation is also governed by our Investor Terms.

These Terms apply from your acceptance and do not retrospectively change an earlier agreement.

2. Eligibility and authority

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into an agreement. If you represent a startup or organization, you confirm that you are authorized to submit information and accept applicable terms on its behalf.

Information you provide must be accurate, current, and supplied with the necessary permissions.

3. Applications and selection

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Paying a registration fee does not guarantee a pitch slot, funding, an investor introduction, or a particular business outcome.

Applications may be assessed against published eligibility criteria, business readiness, event relevance, and available capacity. We may request clarification or supporting information.

Where an event offers a guaranteed presentation slot, that entitlement must be expressly stated in the applicable booking terms.

4. Fees and service scope

The startup registration fee is PKR 11,500.

Your order confirmation will identify the registration services included and delivery arrangements.

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

5. Events and participation

Participants must follow reasonable venue, safety, presentation, and conduct requirements. Presentation times and submission deadlines must be observed.

We may adjust an event's agenda, speakers, delivery format, date, or venue. Material changes affecting a paid booking will be handled under the Refund Policy.

Harassment, discrimination, fraud, unauthorized solicitation, and disruption are prohibited.

6. Funding and investor discussions

Funding awards, investments, loans, grants, and other financial arrangements require separate written terms.

An expression of interest, judging decision, public announcement, or introduction is not proof that funds have been transferred.

Unless VentureFlo expressly undertakes a payment obligation in a separate agreement, the party making the funding commitment is responsible for fulfilling it.

Registration does not transfer equity in your startup. Any equity arrangement requires a separate agreement.

7. Your materials and confidentiality

You retain ownership of your business materials. You grant VentureFlo permission to use them as reasonably necessary to review your application, deliver purchased services, and make introductions you authorize.

Public pitches and livestreams are not confidential. Do not include trade secrets or information you are not entitled to disclose.

Private supporting documents will be handled according to the Privacy Policy and applicable sharing permissions. A confidentiality agreement must be separately agreed where required.

8. Photography and recording

Event notices will explain whether photography, recording, or livestreaming is planned. Identifiable interviews, testimonials, and promotional features will be handled through the relevant notice and permission process.

Contact us before the event if you have concerns about appearing in recordings. We will explain available arrangements and any limitations associated with a public broadcast.

9. Accounts and acceptable use

Keep your account credentials secure and notify us of suspected unauthorized access.

Do not impersonate another person, submit fabricated records, misuse participant information, interfere with the website, or use VentureFlo to promote unlawful activities.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to investigate misconduct, protect participants, or comply with law. Refund eligibility remains subject to the Refund Policy and applicable rights.

10. Responsibility and disputes

We will exercise reasonable care in delivering our agreed services. Business decisions, investment outcomes, and third-party conduct remain outside our complete control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. We do not exclude responsibility for our fraud or other liability that applicable law requires us to retain.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan. Please contact us first so we can attempt to resolve a complaint. Unresolved disputes may be brought before the courts having jurisdiction under applicable law.

11. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms prospectively. Material changes affecting existing participation will be communicated where appropriate. Updated terms will not remove an accrued refund entitlement or alter an existing investment agreement.
