12. Intellectual Property in Reports and Consulting Materials

Certain materials prepared by Sukhitva in connection with its consulting services may contain proprietary methodologies, analysis, templates, checklists, reports, processes or other intellectual property.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of a report or consulting document does not automatically transfer Sukhitva’s underlying intellectual property rights to the recipient.

A client may use a deliverable for the specific purpose for which it was provided, subject to the terms of the applicable engagement, proposal, quotation, invoice, agreement or other written arrangement.

Unauthorised resale, republication, commercial redistribution or reproduction of proprietary Sukhitva materials is prohibited, subject to applicable law and contractual rights.

13. Copyright and AI-Generated or Digitally Assisted Content

Sukhitva may use digital tools, software and artificial-intelligence-assisted technologies in the preparation, editing, design or presentation of certain materials.

Where third-party tools, licensed materials or externally sourced content are incorporated into a deliverable, their respective licence terms and intellectual property rights may apply.

Sukhitva will seek to use such materials in accordance with applicable licences, permissions and laws.

The use of technology or AI tools does not by itself transfer ownership of Sukhitva’s proprietary business materials or confidential information to website visitors.

Does not falsely suggest sponsorship or endorsement;
Does not misrepresent the relationship between the linking website and Sukhitva;

Does not place Sukhitva content within a misleading frame or context.

Sukhitva may request removal of a link where it reasonably believes that the link creates confusion, misrepresentation or infringement of its rights.

15. No Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights

Access to or use of the Sukhitva website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property from Sukhitva to the website visitor.

Except for rights expressly granted under this Policy or under a separate written agreement, all rights are reserved by the respective intellectual property owner.

16. Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement

Sukhitva may take appropriate measures to protect its intellectual property where it identifies unauthorised copying, reproduction, distribution, commercial exploitation, impersonation or other infringement.

Depending on the circumstances, available remedies may include requesting removal of infringing material, issuing notices, seeking contractual remedies, or pursuing other remedies available under applicable law.

Under the Copyright Act, 1957, certain unauthorised acts may constitute copyright infringement. Statutory exceptions, including specified forms of fair dealing, may apply depending on the circumstances.

Sukhitva reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Policy.

Nothing in this Policy should be interpreted as granting any licence or permission beyond what is expressly stated.

Sukhitva may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in its business, website, technology or applicable law.
