TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective Date: 29 August 2026

Welcome to the Aspirational Entrepreneurs Club (AEC).

By accessing or using the AEC website, submitting an idea, making an enquiry, joining our community, participating in discussions, or using any AEC service, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

Please read them carefully before using the platform.

1. About AEC

Aspirational Entrepreneurs Club (AEC) is a platform designed to give aspiring entrepreneurs a place to share, discuss, refine, evaluate, and structure early-stage ideas.

AEC aims to provide a constructive environment where ideas can be explored before they are developed into formal businesses, pitch decks, or investment opportunities.

AEC does not guarantee that any idea submitted will become commercially successful, receive funding, attract collaborators, or result in the creation of a business.

2. Eligibility

You may use AEC only if you are legally capable of entering into these Terms & Conditions under applicable law.

By using AEC, you confirm that the information you provide to us is reasonably accurate and that you are responsible for your activity on the platform.

3. Idea Submission

AEC allows users to submit business ideas, concepts, questions, and entrepreneurial proposals for discussion and evaluation.

You remain responsible for the content and information you submit.

You represent that:

You have the right to submit the information you provide.
Your submission does not knowingly infringe the intellectual property or other rights of another person.
You will not knowingly submit illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or misleading material.

AEC may review, organize, moderate, or evaluate submissions in accordance with the purpose of the platform.

4. Ideas Are Not Automatically Confidential

AEC is intended to create a supportive environment for discussing early-stage ideas.

However, submission of an idea does not automatically create a confidential relationship, NDA, or guarantee of secrecy.

Users should avoid submitting trade secrets, confidential business information, proprietary technology, unpublished intellectual property, or other highly sensitive information unless appropriate legal protection is already in place.

AEC cannot guarantee that an idea shared through the platform will remain completely confidential.

5. Community Discussions & Feedback

AEC encourages honest and constructive discussion.

Feedback provided by AEC members, mentors, collaborators, or other participants represents their individual opinions and should not automatically be considered professional, legal, financial, investment, technical, or business advice.

AEC does not guarantee that feedback provided through the platform is accurate, complete, or suitable for your particular circumstances.

You are responsible for deciding what advice or feedback to act upon.

6. No Guarantee of Success

AEC provides a platform, community, structure, and guidance to help ideas develop.

However, AEC makes no guarantee regarding:

Market demand
Commercial viability
Revenue or profitability
Funding or investment
Business partnerships
Customer acquisition
Employment or career outcomes
Successful launch or execution of an idea

Your entrepreneurial outcomes ultimately depend on many factors beyond AEC's control.

7. Mentors & Experts

AEC may provide access to mentors, entrepreneurs, professionals, or subject-matter experts.

Their participation does not mean that AEC guarantees their qualifications, recommendations, availability, or results.

Information shared by mentors or experts should be considered guidance rather than a substitute for professional advice where such advice is legally or practically necessary.

8. User Conduct

You agree to use AEC responsibly and respectfully.

You must not:

Harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against other members.
Submit deliberately false or misleading information.
Steal, copy, misuse, or misrepresent another person's work or idea.
Upload malicious software or attempt to disrupt the platform.
Use AEC for unlawful or fraudulent activities.
Deliberately disclose another member's private information.
Engage in abusive, defamatory, or inappropriate behaviour.

AEC may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where a user violates these Terms or creates a risk to the community.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you retain ownership of intellectual property that you independently create and submit to AEC.

By submitting content to AEC, you grant AEC a limited, non-exclusive permission to use, store, reproduce, display, and process that content to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the platform and provide the services you requested.

AEC does not automatically acquire ownership of your business idea merely because you submit it.

AEC's own website, branding, designs, written content, software, graphics, trademarks, and other original materials remain the property of AEC or its respective licensors unless otherwise stated.

10. Collaboration Between Members

AEC may facilitate introductions and collaboration between members.

AEC does not guarantee the conduct, reliability, qualifications, financial position, or intentions of another member.

Any business relationship, partnership, employment arrangement, investment, contract, or collaboration entered into between members is undertaken at the participants' own risk and responsibility.

11. External Links & Third-Party Services

AEC may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, tools, or services.

AEC does not control those third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms and policies.

12. Payments & Paid Services

Certain AEC services, programs, workshops, reports, memberships, or other offerings may be paid services.

Where applicable, the price, payment terms, cancellation conditions, and refund policy will be communicated separately before purchase.

AEC reserves the right to change pricing or introduce new paid services in the future.

13. Platform Availability

We aim to keep AEC available and functioning reliably, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

AEC may temporarily suspend or modify portions of the website or services for maintenance, security, upgrades, operational requirements, or other reasons.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AEC will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential, or business losses arising from your use of the platform or reliance on information, feedback, discussions, introductions, or services provided through AEC.

You remain responsible for your own decisions, actions, investments, business activities, and use of information obtained through the platform.

15. Indemnification

You agree to take responsibility for claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from your unlawful use of AEC, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights through content or activity you submit to the platform, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Changes to These Terms

AEC may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time as the platform, services, or applicable requirements evolve.

Updated Terms will be published on the website with a revised effective date.

Your continued use of AEC after the updated Terms are published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Termination

AEC may suspend or terminate your access to the platform if you violate these Terms, misuse the community, engage in unlawful behaviour, or create a risk to AEC or its members.

You may also stop using the platform at any time.

Certain provisions, including intellectual property, confidentiality limitations, liability, and dispute-related provisions, may continue to apply after termination.

18. Governing Law
