Terms & Privacy

These terms and this privacy notice apply to the Indie AEC Collective website at indieaec.in. By using the site, you agree to them.

Terms of use

The Indie AEC Collective is a free, informational directory of India-based architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) startups. It is run mostly not-for-profit.

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss or damage that arises from your use of the site or from relying on anything published here.

Nothing on this site is investment, legal or professional advice. Before you hire anyone, invest, buy a product or otherwise rely on a listing, you must verify the information independently.

No endorsement and no affiliation

A listing, a “Featured” badge or a place in our analytics does not mean we endorse, partner with or rank that company. There are no paid placements on the site. If we ever introduce them, they will be clearly marked.

Trademarks and content

Company names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify those companies. Startup descriptions on this site are our own summaries, compiled from publicly available sources. Event details belong to the organisers; please confirm dates, venues and tickets with them.

For more on how listings are compiled, see our data disclaimer.

External links

The site links to company websites, news articles, social profiles and event pages we do not control. We are not responsible for those third-party sites or for anything you do there.

Corrections, takedowns and grievances

Any company or person can ask us to correct or remove a listing or other information. Email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 7 days, in line with India’s Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.

Grievance contact: IndieAEC Collective team, [email protected].

Privacy

When you use the submission or jobs-waitlist forms, we collect details such as your name, email address and startup or role information. These forms are submitted through Google Forms. We use the information only to review listings and to contact submitters. We do not sell it.

By submitting, you confirm that you are authorised to share the information you send us.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for cookie-free, aggregate visitor statistics. It does not identify individual visitors.

To ask us to delete your personal data, email [email protected]. We handle these requests in the spirit of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Jobs (coming soon)

A free job board is planned. We do not verify employers or candidates, and we are not a placement agency. We never charge candidates. Be cautious of fraud: we will not ask you for fees, OTPs or payment details, and you should treat unsolicited job offers with care.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
