Use of the Website

You agree to use this website lawfully and responsibly.

You must not use the website for unlawful purposes, attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or its systems, introduce malicious software or harmful code, copy or distribute website content without permission, misuse information obtained through the website, submit false or misleading information, or interfere with the operation or security of the website.

Shenati Minds reserves the right to restrict or terminate access where misuse of the website is suspected.

Website Information

The information provided on this website is intended for general informational purposes.

Although Shenati Minds aims to provide accurate and useful information, we do not guarantee that all information on the website will always be complete, current, accurate, or suitable for every particular purpose.

Information on the website should not automatically be interpreted as professional, financial, legal, investment, accounting, or other regulated advice.

Where professional advice is required, you should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Business Opportunities and Ideas

Shenati Minds may identify, develop, assess, structure, commercialize, or facilitate business opportunities and ideas.

Information relating to a business opportunity does not constitute a guarantee that the opportunity will be commercially successful.

Business outcomes may depend on factors including market conditions, funding availability, customer demand, competition, regulatory requirements, management capability, strategic execution, economic conditions, and third-party decisions.

Shenati Minds does not guarantee the success, profitability, funding, investment, acquisition, licensing, or commercialization of any particular business opportunity.

Investment Opportunity Facilitation

Shenati Minds may facilitate introductions or connections between business opportunities and potential investors or other relevant parties.

Shenati Minds is not necessarily the investor, lender, purchaser, funder, or financial institution involved in an opportunity.

Any investment, funding, acquisition, partnership, or financing arrangement is subject to separate discussions, due diligence, negotiations, and written agreements between the relevant parties.

Shenati Minds does not guarantee that an investment will be secured, funding will be provided, an investor will proceed with an opportunity, a business will achieve a particular return, or a transaction will be completed.

Potential investors and other parties are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and obtaining appropriate professional advice before entering into any transaction.

Strategic Partnerships

Shenati Minds may facilitate introductions between businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, organisations, and strategic partners.

A referral, introduction, or connection does not guarantee that a partnership will be established.

Any partnership or commercial relationship is subject to the independent agreement of the parties involved.

Shenati Minds is not responsible for the actions, decisions, representations, performance, or conduct of third parties introduced through its services, except where otherwise agreed in writing or required by applicable law.

Commercialization of Opportunities

Shenati Minds may develop opportunities, concepts, business models, strategies, or solutions for potential commercialization.

Commercialization may include licensing, sale or transfer of rights, strategic partnerships, investment, joint ventures, acquisition, pilot projects, or other agreed commercial arrangements.

Any commercialization arrangement will be subject to a separate written agreement defining the applicable rights, responsibilities, ownership, fees, revenue-sharing arrangements, royalties, or other commercial terms.

Intellectual Property

All intellectual property belonging to Shenati Minds remains the property of Shenati Minds unless otherwise agreed in writing.

This may include methodologies, frameworks, research systems, business models, strategies, processes, written materials, presentations, innovation systems, commercialization structures, internal tools, the Insight Method, and related intellectual-property assets.

Client-provided intellectual property remains subject to the applicable agreement between the client and Shenati Minds.

Where intellectual property is jointly created, ownership and commercial rights will be determined by written agreement.

For further information, please refer to the Shenati Minds Intellectual Property, Innovation & Commercialisation Policy.

Confidentiality

Shenati Minds respects the confidentiality of commercially sensitive information.

However, submitting information through a general website form does not automatically create a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Where appropriate, Shenati Minds may require an NDA or other confidentiality agreement before receiving or sharing sensitive information.

Users should avoid submitting highly confidential information, passwords, financial credentials, or sensitive intellectual property through general website forms unless specifically requested.

Client Engagements

Where a person or organisation formally engages Shenati Minds for services, the engagement may be governed by a separate written agreement.

Such an agreement may specify the scope of work, deliverables, fees, payment terms, responsibilities, intellectual-property ownership, confidentiality, timelines, commercialization rights, termination, liability, and dispute resolution.

Where a separate written agreement exists, its terms will apply to the relevant engagement.

Fees and Payments

Where Shenati Minds provides paid services, applicable fees and payment terms will be communicated to the client before the engagement begins.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees must be paid according to the agreed payment terms. Additional work outside the agreed scope may incur additional fees. Third-party costs may be charged separately where applicable. Commercialization, licensing, revenue-sharing, or success-based arrangements may be governed by separate agreements.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Shenati Minds website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, social-media services, or other external resources.

These links are provided for convenience and do not necessarily constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the third party.

Shenati Minds is not responsible for the content, availability, security, privacy practices, or conduct of third-party websites.

Website Availability

We aim to keep the website available and functioning properly.

However, Shenati Minds does not guarantee that the website will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted, or free from viruses or harmful components.

The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, updates, hosting problems, or circumstances outside our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Shenati Minds will not be liable for losses arising from reliance solely on general information provided on the website, business decisions made without appropriate independent assessment, investment or commercial decisions made by users, third-party actions or failures, loss of business opportunities, loss of profits, market changes, business failure, or unauthorised access resulting from circumstances beyond reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

User-Submitted Information

When submitting information through our website forms, you confirm that the information you provide is reasonably accurate, that you have the right to provide the information, that you will not knowingly provide fraudulent or misleading information, and that your submission does not knowingly violate another person’s rights.

You remain responsible for the information you submit.

The handling of personal information is governed by the Shenati Minds Privacy Policy.

Marketing and Communications

Changes to These Terms

Shenati Minds may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect new services, changes in business operations, changes to the website, changes in technology, changes in applicable law, or changes in commercial practices.

The updated version will be published on this website.

Your continued use of the website after changes are published may constitute acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Suspension or Termination

Shenati Minds may suspend or restrict access to the website where necessary, including where the website is being maintained, security concerns arise, misuse is suspected, legal requirements require restriction, or a user violates these Terms & Conditions.

This does not affect rights or obligations arising under a separate written agreement.

Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the applicable laws of the Republic of South Africa, unless otherwise agreed in writing or required by applicable law.

Dispute Resolution

Where a dispute arises concerning the use of the website or services, the parties should first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith communication.

Where appropriate, the parties may pursue direct negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or legal proceedings where necessary.

Any specific dispute-resolution process contained in a separate written client agreement will take precedence for that engagement.
