Legal / terms
Terms of Service
These are the foundation terms. Tier-specific agreements control Society, Boardroom, Spotlight, Build Lab, Council, and royalty-specific engagements.
Claim discipline
Premium does not mean reckless.
This page separates current controls, roadmap targets, illustrative tools, gated economics, and agreement-controlled terms so senior leaders can evaluate Maitro without mistaking posture for guarantee.
Agreement hierarchy
Specific signed agreements control specific engagements. These terms provide the base layer.
Application content
Application content remains yours until signed venture documents say otherwise.
Commercial terms
Royalty, ownership, IP, and exit terms are agreement-defined and exact economics remain gated.

Presentation has been upgraded for readability. Legal meaning should remain subject to founder/legal review before being treated as final advice.
1. Who is bound
"Maitro" means Talpro India Private Limited. "You" means an individual using the site, applying to any tier, or accepting participation in a Maitro program.
2. Agreement hierarchy
| Agreement | Purpose | Controls |
|---|---|---|
| Terms of Service | Base public-site and participation terms | Default layer |
| Society Membership | Community app and member conduct | Society participation |
| Boardroom Invitation | Event and dinner participation | Boardroom attendance |
| Spotlight Retainer | Done-for-you editorial or outreach work | Written scope and deliverables |
| Named Ideator Agreement | Build Lab venture role and IP structure | Specific venture engagement |
| Royalty Agreement | Rate, cap, term, definitions, payment conditions | Royalty economics |
3. Eligibility
Maitro is intended for senior business leaders. Society may require a working CXO-level email address. Build Lab applications may require peer references and a conflict review before any engagement proceeds.
4. Your content and submitted ideas
Application content remains yours until a signed Named Ideator Agreement or other signed instrument covers a specific venture. If no agreement is signed, content is used for review and conflict scanning under the stated confidentiality posture and deletion process. Maitro does not train AI models on application content.
5. Build Lab commercial boundary
Build Lab commercial terms are defined in separate signed documents. Public terms should not be read as a guarantee of acceptance, revenue, royalty payout, employer conflict clearance, tax treatment, or media outcome. Ownership, IP assignment, royalty cadence, audit/review rights, and attribution are as defined in signed agreements.
6. Code of conduct
Maitro may remove or terminate participation for harassment, discrimination, deceptive conduct, misuse of confidential conversations, fraud, or material breach of the applicable agreement.
7. Liability, termination, and governing law
Liability caps, termination rights, dispute process, mediation, and governing law remain as stated in the legal terms and applicable signed agreements. Current public terms state Indian law and Bangalore courts, with good-faith mediation before litigation where applicable.
FAQ
Terms of Service FAQ
Which agreement controls?
These Terms are the base layer. Tier-specific agreements and signed Build Lab documents control the specific engagement.
Who owns Build Lab IP?
Maitro/Talpro ownership and any ideator rights are defined in the signed Named Ideator and Royalty documents.
Does Maitro clear employer conflict?
No public page should promise clearance. Maitro can run a review process, but applicants may need independent counsel and their employment contract controls.
