This flexible agreement governs arrangements between Tattnova and any external Speaker or Partner (“Collaborator”) who contributes to our events, courses, or content. It applies to paid engagements, volunteer efforts, or revenue-sharing partnerships. This agreement clearly sets out each party’s responsibilities, rights, and compensation.
The Collaborator agrees to deliver specific services (e.g., live talks, workshops, course content, panel moderation) as outlined in a separate engagement schedule. Tattnova may offer topic guidance and logistical support. The Collaborator agrees to maintain professional conduct and comply with all applicable laws during the engagement.
The compensation model will be one of the following, as pre-agreed in writing:
- Paid Fee: A fixed service or speaking fee (plus any agreed expenses). Payment terms will be detailed in an addendum (e.g., 50% on contract, 50% post-delivery).
- Volunteer: No monetary payment; however, Tattnova may offer non-monetary benefits such as certificates, publicity, or complimentary access to programs.
- Revenue Share: A mutually agreed percentage of net revenues (after direct costs) from the relevant program. Transparent accounting will be provided. Payouts will be made (e.g., within 30 days) after revenue is collected.
Unless specified, each party bears its own costs. If Tattnova agrees to cover travel or event-related expenses, they must be pre-approved and supported by receipts.
Each party retains ownership of their pre-existing IP. The Collaborator grants Tattnova a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to record, distribute, and promote delivered content (e.g., videos, slides, materials) in connection with Tattnova’s educational services.
Tattnova grants the Collaborator a limited license to use its trademarks/logos for promotional purposes related to the joint program. Jointly developed materials may be co-owned or otherwise agreed upon in writing.
Tattnova may record live sessions. The Collaborator consents to being filmed/recorded and authorizes the use of their name, photo, and biography in promotional materials. All publicity materials will be mutually approved.
Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality regarding any non-public information (e.g., business plans, participant data) obtained through the collaboration. This obligation survives termination of the agreement.
The Collaborator warrants that they have rights to all content provided and that it does not infringe third-party rights or contain unlawful material. Tattnova represents that it has authority to engage the Collaborator and use its platform for intended purposes.
Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other against any claims, damages, or liabilities resulting from breaches of these terms, negligence, or willful misconduct.
This agreement is effective for the duration of the specified engagement. Either party may terminate for cause with written notice. Upon termination, any unpaid fees or revenue shares for work already delivered remain payable.
This agreement is governed by Indian law. Disputes will be resolved through mutual negotiation or arbitration in Delhi under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. Parties may mutually agree to a neutral arbitration venue elsewhere. Punitive damages are waived to the extent permitted by law.
This agreement (including any annexed schedules) is the entire understanding between the parties. Any amendments must be in writing. Neither party may assign their rights without written consent from the other.
These terms are designed in alignment with best practices and legal standards for Indian and international collaborations in education and events, ensuring clarity, fairness, and mutual respect.
