Terms of Use

1. Operator and scope

These Terms govern access to and use of the Fractionalogic public website, its preview or staging versions, and its public resources. The operator is E. Muralidharan, trading as Fractionalogic, based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean that operator; “you” means the individual user and, where the user has authority, the organization they represent.

Please read these Terms before using the website. Where we ask you to accept them through a form or other feature, you must do so to use that feature. We rely on these Terms only to the extent that they have been fairly brought to your attention and are legally binding under applicable law. If you disagree, do not use the relevant feature or request permission for an alternative arrangement.

The Privacy Policy explains personal-data handling; acknowledging it does not, by itself, constitute consent to every processing activity. Our Disclaimer explains the limits and context of public content. Neither document overrides mandatory law.

2. Business audience and authority

The website is intended for adults acting in a professional or business capacity. Do not submit a service enquiry or partner application if you are under 18. If acting for an organization, provide accurate details and do not suggest that you have authority you do not hold.

Nothing in these Terms removes any consumer protection or other mandatory right that applies despite the website’s business focus.

3. No online service contract

Service descriptions, introductory conversations, and public resources are invitations to discuss an engagement, not a binding offer, appointment, or promise of availability. A form submission is a request for contact, not a confirmed booking or acceptance of a commercial proposal. Any automated acknowledgement confirms receipt only when the form has successfully delivered the information; it is not an acceptance of an engagement.

Paid services require a separately agreed written engagement agreement, statement of work, or equivalent contract. Scope, hours, fees, currency, taxes, expenses, invoicing, payment, cancellation, deliverables, ownership, confidentiality, liability, and termination must be addressed there. Website use does not create subscription charges, and these Terms do not impose service cancellation fees.

If documents conflict, mandatory law prevails first, then the signed engagement or data processing agreement for the relevant subject, then these Terms and the Disclaimer. The Privacy Policy and applicable law govern personal-data handling; a commercial term does not waive an individual’s statutory rights.

4. Fractional leadership and partner relationships

Fractionalogic may deliver work through its founder, authorized associates, or appropriately engaged partners. Fractional Twinning coordinates complementary leaders around an agreed mandate; it does not automatically make every listed professional an employee, agent, legal partner, director, or representative of Fractionalogic or of the client.

Unless a written appointment or applicable law provides otherwise, no user, applicant, or listed partner may bind Fractionalogic, commit a client’s expenditure, or represent that they can do so. Any authority, reporting line, conflict management, joint responsibility, and data access for an engagement must be agreed expressly.

Applying to the Twin Partner Network does not guarantee selection, public listing, referrals, assignments, income, exclusivity, or employment. We may assess fit through proportionate, human-reviewed checks. Public use of an applicant’s name, biography, photograph, or profile requires a separate agreement or permission; an application alone is not permission to publish it.

If we contract to provide a service and use a subcontractor, that arrangement does not remove our obligations under the engagement or applicable law. A partner engaged directly by you is responsible under its own agreement with you.

5. Permitted use of website content

Unless a page states otherwise, you may access the website, share links, and download resources offered for download for your personal professional reference and your organization’s internal evaluation. Keep copyright notices, attribution, and any stated resource restrictions intact. This is a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission, not a transfer of ownership.

You may not, without permission or a legal entitlement, republish substantial content, resell resources, remove attribution, redistribute editable frameworks as your own, or use our materials to market a competing service. A small attributed quotation or other use permitted by applicable copyright law remains permitted.

Do not use our name, logo, founder’s identity, client references, or partner marks to imply sponsorship, certification, or endorsement. Third-party marks and materials remain subject to their owners’ rights. Separately contracted client deliverables are governed by the engagement agreement, not this website-content licence.

6. Prohibited conduct

• Do not use the website for fraud, unlawful activity, impersonation, harassment, discriminatory abuse, or misleading representations.
• Do not introduce malware, attempt unauthorized access, defeat security or consent controls, or interfere with availability.
• Do not collect personal information from the website for unsolicited mass outreach or unlawful profiling.
• Do not use automated extraction that bypasses access controls, ignores applicable permissions, or places an unreasonable load on the service. Ordinary search indexing and use authorized by us remain permitted.
• Do not reproduce substantial protected content in commercial datasets or AI-model training without permission or a legal entitlement.
• Do not submit information you have no right to disclose, or use the website to infringe privacy, confidentiality, intellectual-property, or other rights.

7. Enquiries, applications, and submissions

You remain responsible for the accuracy and lawful disclosure of the information you provide. Submit only what is reasonably necessary. Do not send passwords, payment-card data, government identification, health records, customer exports, detailed employee records, source code, or trade secrets through a public enquiry form.

You retain ownership of your submissions. You give us only the permission reasonably needed to receive, review, store, and use them for the purpose of the enquiry or application, subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable confidentiality arrangement. This is not a licence to publish your submission, sell it, train a general-purpose AI model on it, or use it for unrelated promotion.

Please arrange a suitable confidentiality agreement and secure channel before sharing sensitive commercial material. An initial enquiry does not create legal professional privilege or a bespoke confidentiality contract, but this does not reduce our privacy, security, or other applicable duties. We will not publish an enquiry or application without an appropriate separate basis.

8. External services and specialist tools

The website may link to external publications, professional profiles, partner resources, and tools. Following a link may bring you under the third party’s own terms and privacy practices. Inclusion of a link does not guarantee availability, accuracy, suitability, or regulatory status.

If an engagement uses Magic Pencils instruments or another specialist platform, access rights, charges, data roles, confidentiality, ownership, and permitted use should be agreed before use. These Terms do not silently enrol you in a partner platform or authorize unrestricted sharing of enquiry data with the partner network.

9. Content and outcome qualifications

Our public information supports informed business discussions and does not replace advice tailored to your organization. Market research, projections, testimonials, case studies, and examples must be read in context, including their source dates, assumptions, and any prominent qualifications.

We do not guarantee a commercial outcome from using the website or adopting a general framework. A commitment to revenue-facing accountability is a commitment to the agreed mandate and measures, not an unconditional revenue warranty. Nothing in these Terms negates an express promise in a signed engagement agreement or permits misleading marketing.

10. Website operation and changes

We may update, correct, add, or remove public content and features. We may temporarily interrupt access for security, maintenance, or operational reasons and may restrict a user’s access where reasonably necessary to prevent misuse or comply with law. Where practical and appropriate, we will provide notice and a way to raise concerns.

These measures do not terminate a separate service agreement or remove rights to receive contracted services. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the public website will be continuously available, free of defects, or compatible with every device. You should use reasonable device and internet security precautions.

11. Liability and protected rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is unlawful, wilful misconduct or gross negligence where liability cannot be limited, or any non-excludable statutory obligation or remedy. Your enforceable privacy and data-protection rights remain unaffected.

Subject to that protection and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for business losses such as lost profit, revenue, anticipated savings, opportunities, or goodwill, arising from use of the free public website. This exclusion does not apply where the relevant loss must be recoverable under mandatory law.

Liability for paid services is determined by the signed engagement agreement and applicable law, not by a liability cap hidden in website terms. Nothing here makes you responsible for our own unlawful conduct or removes our responsibility for reasonable care where required by law.

12. Responsibility for unlawful business use

If you use the website on behalf of a business, you are responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for a third-party claim directly caused by your deliberate unlawful use, knowing infringement of another person’s rights, or materially false claim of authority. This does not cover claims caused by our fault, ordinary good-faith use, or the exercise of a lawful right.

We will notify you of such a claim, take reasonable steps to limit avoidable loss, and allow reasonable participation in its defence. No settlement imposing an obligation or admission on you will be made without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. This clause does not impose a general duty to reimburse regulatory fines or apply to an individual acting as a consumer.

13. Updates to these Terms

We will post revised Terms with an updated date. Revisions operate prospectively and do not retrospectively change an agreed service contract, an accrued claim, or the purpose of an earlier data collection. Material changes will be brought to users’ attention where appropriate; we will obtain fresh acceptance where required for an existing feature or relationship.

14. Law, disputes, and international users

Subject to mandatory local protections, these Terms are governed by Indian law. Courts having competent jurisdiction in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India will hear disputes about these Terms, except where applicable law gives you a right to bring proceedings elsewhere or requires another forum. This does not restrict complaints to regulators or other non-waivable remedies.

Please first contact murali.e@fractionalogic.com with a description of the concern so that we can try to resolve it. Informal contact is encouraged, not a condition that prevents urgent relief or causes a legal deadline to expire. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.

Access from another country does not establish a local office or an authorization to deliver a regulated service there. You and we must comply with laws applicable to our respective activities, including applicable sanctions and export restrictions.

15. General provisions and contact

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum necessary without affecting the rest. Failure to enforce a term immediately is not a waiver. These Terms concern website use only and do not replace separately agreed commercial terms.
