Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of startuppabna.com (the “site”) and to taking part in Startup Pabna’s community, directory, programmes and events. By using the site or submitting a form, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. About Startup Pabna

Startup Pabna is a community-led entrepreneurship and innovation platform based in Pabna, Bangladesh. Membership is currently free. If we introduce paid services in the future, we will announce them in advance, and you will never be charged without your clear agreement.

2. Who can join

Anyone interested in ideas, startups and business can apply. If you are under 18, you may register only with the permission of a parent or guardian.

3. Registration and approval

• The information you submit must be accurate, current and your own.
• Every application is reviewed by our admins. We may approve, reject, edit or remove any application or listing at our discretion, for example if it is incomplete, false or inappropriate.
• One registration per person.
• Keep your account password safe. You are responsible for activity on your account.

4. Community conduct

Be respectful. You must not:

• harass, threaten, discriminate against or abuse anyone;
• post or share false, misleading, hateful or illegal content;
• run scams, spam or unsolicited bulk messaging, including using information found on the site;
• impersonate another person or organisation;
• share other people’s personal information without their permission;
• try to harm, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

5. Content you submit

You keep ownership of the photos, logos and text you submit, and you confirm you have the right to share them. You give Startup Pabna a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, display and format this content on the site, in the directory, on your member share card and on our official social media pages to promote the community, for as long as your profile is active. You can ask us to remove it at any time. Copies that have already been shared on social media may remain there.

6. Directory and listings

Directory information is provided by members. We review listings before they go live, but we cannot verify every detail. A listing is not an endorsement or recommendation by Startup Pabna. Use your own judgement when dealing with other members or businesses, and report any problem to us.

7. Programmes, events and mentorship

• Dates, speakers and formats may change or be cancelled.
• Mentors and speakers share their views for learning purposes. This is not professional legal, financial, tax or investment advice.
• Photos and videos may be taken at events and used to promote Startup Pabna. Tell the organisers if you prefer not to appear.

8. Campus Ambassadors and contributors

These are voluntary roles, not employment. There is no salary or payment unless agreed in writing. Ambassadors and contributors must represent Startup Pabna honestly and may not make commitments, collect money or sign agreements on its behalf without written permission. Either side can end the role at any time.

9. Donations

• Donations are voluntary and support community activities.
• Please send money only to the bKash details shown on our official form. Each payment is checked manually before a receipt is sent.
• Donations are non-refundable, except in case of an error (such as a wrong amount or a duplicate payment) reported to us within 7 days.
• We will never ask for your bKash PIN or OTP.

10. Intellectual property

The Startup Pabna name, logo, design and site content belong to Startup Pabna or its licensors. Do not use them in a way that suggests a partnership or endorsement without our written permission.

11. Other websites and services

The site links to other websites and uses third-party services (such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and bKash). Their own terms apply, and we are not responsible for them.

12. Disclaimer

The site and its information are provided “as is”. We try to keep everything accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that it is error-free or always online. Taking part in Startup Pabna does not guarantee business results, funding, jobs or investment.

13. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Startup Pabna and its team are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the site, or for agreements and dealings between members, businesses or other users.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or remove an account or listing that breaks these Terms. You can leave at any time by asking us to delete your account.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh.
