I would like to participate in the India Venture 2000 Business Plan Competition (the
"Competition") as a coach.
I understand that in the course of my participation in the Competition, I may have access to
the business plans of some Contestants for evaluation and to the discussions and business
plans of the teams I undertake to coach (collectively "Plans"). These Plans may contain
the ideas, inventions and concepts (collectively "Ideas") of the Contestants in the
Competition. I understand that all intellectual and other property rights of all Competition
entrants will remain unaltered as a result of entering the Competition. I also understand
that some of these Ideas may constitute trade secrets and that Contestants may not have yet
taken appropriate steps to patent, copyright or otherwise protect their Plans or Ideas.
In consideration of my participation in the Competition I agree, for the benefit of the
Organisers of the Competition and the individual Contestants involved in the Competition,
that only I will review the Plans submitted to the competition, that I will take
reasonable effort to hold the Plans and Ideas that I may receive in the course of the
competition in strict confidence and will not copy, reveal or disclose such Plans or Ideas
to others and that I will not use any such Plans or Ideas for my own benefit or the benefit
of any organisation to which I am affiliated. At the conclusion of the Competition I will
return the plans to the Contestants via the competition Organisers.
The above restrictions shall not apply to any Plans or Ideas that are in the public domain
at the time of disclosure or become publicly known through no wrongful act of mine, are known
to me at the time of disclosure or are independently developed by me, used or disclosed with
the approval of the Contestants involved, are furnished to a third party without similar
restrictions on the third party's rights, are received by me from a third party who has a
lawful right to disclose it to me or are disclosed pursuant to the requirement or request of
a governmental agency.
