Terms of Service

Who you're dealing with

This website (niteshpadghan.com) and the services described on it are operated by Storifex Media (“Storifex Media”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in India and operated by Nitesh Padghan, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

In these Terms, “you” and “Client” mean the individual or business that uses this site or engages us for work. You can reach us at hello@niteshpadghan.com.

The services we offer

We provide done-for-you marketing infrastructure for consultants, founders, and fractional executives. The packages currently offered are:

• The Website — positioning, copy, and a custom design + build (Next.js, deployed to Vercel), with one round of feedback. Priced from US$2,000, typically delivered in about two weeks.
• The Newsletter — Beehiiv setup and templating, a welcome sequence, an Educational Email Sequence, and four written issues. Priced from US$1,500, typically delivered in about two weeks.
• The Authority System — the full engagement: positioning, website, LinkedIn ghostwriting, newsletter, and launch, delivered as one system. Priced from US$4,500 over a four-week timeline.
• The Engine: an ongoing monthly retainer covering LinkedIn posts, newsletter issues, and engagement management. Priced from US$2,500 per month, billed monthly, available after a build has shipped.

The exact deliverables, price, and timeline for your project are confirmed in writing (by email or proposal) before work begins. That written confirmation, together with these Terms, forms our agreement. Where they conflict, the written project confirmation controls for that project. Prices on the website are indicative and may change; the price quoted to you in writing is the one that applies.

Booking, slots, and acceptance

We take on a limited number of projects at a time. Booking a fit call does not reserve a slot or guarantee that we will take on your project. An engagement begins only when we have confirmed scope in writing and you have paid the deposit described in Section 4.

We may decline or end any engagement that falls outside our expertise, conflicts with an existing client, or that we reasonably believe is unlawful, misleading, or harmful.

Fees, deposits, and payment

All fees are quoted and payable in US dollars (USD) unless we agree otherwise in writing. Unless your project confirmation says otherwise, projects are billed:

• 50% deposit to start — payable before work begins. This reserves your slot and covers the front-loaded positioning work.
• 50% balance at launch — payable once the work is built and you have approved it (see Section 7).

Invoices are due on receipt unless stated otherwise. Bank transfer, card, or processor fees are your responsibility. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or withholdings applicable in your own jurisdiction; our fees are exclusive of any such taxes, and where Indian GST or other taxes apply they will be added to the invoice.

If the balance is not paid within 14 days of approval, we may pause work, withhold delivery of files or logins, and charge reasonable interest on overdue amounts. Final deliverables, source files, and account access are handed over only after full payment is received (see Section 8).

What we need from you

A fixed timeline only works if both sides move. You agree to:

• provide content, brand assets, access, and account logins we reasonably request, promptly;
• give consolidated, written feedback within the windows we agree (typically 2–3 business days per deliverable);
• name a single point of contact who can make decisions and sign off; and
• ensure that anything you give us — copy, images, logos, data, testimonials — is accurate, lawful, and yours to use.

You are solely responsible for the legality and accuracy of claims, figures, and testimonials you ask us to publish. We may rely on the materials and instructions you provide without independently verifying them.

Revisions and scope

To keep projects moving and priced honestly, the following rules apply to every engagement:

• One round of feedback per deliverable. Each deliverable includes a single consolidated round of revisions. We don't do open-ended “infinite tweaks.”
• Fixed timeline. Project timelines (for example, the four-week Authority System) are a hard stop, assuming you meet your feedback windows.
• No scope creep. Anything outside the agreed deliverables — extra pages, additional revision rounds, new channels, work beyond your current retainer — is quoted and agreed separately before we start it.

Change requests are welcome; they're just priced and scheduled as their own work. Delays caused by late feedback, missing assets, or unavailability on your side may push timelines and are not our responsibility.

Approval and sign-off

You review and approve the work before the final payment. Approval may be given in writing or implied if you begin using the deliverables in production or do not raise written objections within five business days of delivery. Once approved, the deliverable is considered accepted, and further changes fall under Section 6.

Intellectual property

On receipt of full payment, we assign to you the ownership of the final, delivered work product created specifically for you — the website copy, custom design, and code; the newsletter templates and written issues; and the LinkedIn and launch content.

Until full payment is received, all rights in the work remain with us. The following are excluded from any transfer and remain owned by their respective owners:

• our pre-existing know-how, methods, frameworks, internal tools, and reusable code components;
• third-party assets — software, fonts, stock media, libraries, and platforms (e.g. Next.js, Vercel, Beehiiv) — which remain subject to their own licenses, and which you are responsible for licensing and maintaining going forward; and
• materials you supply, which remain yours.

You grant us a license to use your name, logo, and the work we produced for you for our own portfolio, case studies, and marketing, unless you ask us in writing not to. You grant us a license to use the materials you provide solely to deliver your project.

Third-party services and accounts

Your project relies on third-party platforms — for example Cal.com for scheduling, Beehiiv for email, Vercel for hosting, your domain registrar, and payment processors. Where we set these up, we do so inside accounts you own or that we hand over to you.

You are responsible for your own subscriptions, fees, renewals, and compliance with those providers' terms after handover. We are not responsible for the availability, pricing, changes, outages, or acts of any third-party service, and our work depends on their continued operation.

Confidentiality

Each side may receive non-public information from the other. We'll keep your confidential information private and use it only to deliver your project, and we expect the same of you regarding our pricing, methods, and proposals. This doesn't apply to information that is public, already known, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. This survives the end of the engagement.

No guarantee of results

We bring craft and experience, but we cannot and do not guarantee any specific outcome — revenue, sales, subscribers, followers, search rankings, conversion rates, or growth of any kind. Results depend on your offer, market, effort, and many factors outside our control.

Any figures, estimates, calculators, or examples on this website or in our materials are illustrative only and are not a promise or projection of your results. See our Refunds & Results Disclaimer for detail.

Warranties and disclaimers

We'll perform the services with reasonable skill and care. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and the services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to a project or these Terms will not exceed the total fees you actually paid us for that project. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from the materials you supply, the claims and content you ask us to publish, your use of the deliverables, or your breach of these Terms.

Cancellation and refunds

Deposits, cancellation rights, and refund eligibility are set out in our Refunds & Results Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms. In short: the deposit reserves your slot and becomes non-refundable once work begins, and either side may end an engagement on written notice with payment due for work completed to that point.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control — including illness, internet or platform outages, power failures, natural events, or government action. Affected timelines extend by a reasonable period.

Acceptable use of the website

You agree not to misuse this website — no attempting to breach its security, scrape it at scale, introduce malicious code, or copy its content, design, or code for competing commercial use without permission. The site's content, design, and code are owned by us and protected by applicable law.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

We'd always rather sort things out directly first, so both sides agree to attempt to resolve any dispute by good-faith discussion before starting formal proceedings.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force for your project is the one published when your project is confirmed. Changes to the website terms take effect when posted, with the “last updated” date revised above.

General

These Terms, plus your written project confirmation, are the entire agreement between us and replace any prior discussions. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign your agreement without our consent; we may assign ours to a successor of the business. Notices should be sent to hello@niteshpadghan.com.
