Terms of Use

1. About these terms

This website is operated by FOBICA INTERNATIONAL LLP ("FOBICA", "we", "us"). These terms apply to everyone who visits or uses it. By using the website you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Disclaimer form part of these terms.

2. What this website is for

The website describes FOBICA, our expert advisory services and the food and beverage manufacturing industry, and lets you contact us about a project. Our insights articles and guides are published for general information.

3. Information, not advice

Nothing on this website is professional advice for your specific project, whether legal, regulatory, financial, engineering or food safety advice. Requirements, costs and timelines depend on the product, capacity, site, market and the rules in force at the time.

Please do not act on website content alone. Advice is given only within a written engagement, after we have understood your situation.

4. Enquiries and consultations

Sending a form, booking a consultation or messaging us does not create a client relationship or oblige either side to work together. An engagement begins only when both parties agree its scope, fees and terms in writing.

Please make sure the information you send us is accurate and that you are entitled to share it. Do not send confidential information belonging to someone else without their permission.

5. Regulatory approvals

FOBICA provides expert advice and coordination support. Licences, registrations and certifications, including those under FSSAI, BIS and Legal Metrology, are granted by the relevant authorities at their discretion. We do not issue them and cannot guarantee that they will be granted or when.

6. Intellectual property

The FOBICA name and logo, the text, illustrations, graphics and design of this website, and our insights articles belong to FOBICA or are used with permission. They are protected by copyright and trade mark law.

You may view the website, print or save pages for your own reference, and share links to our pages. You may not copy, republish, sell or adapt our content or brand, or present it as your own, without our written permission.

7. Acceptable use

When you use the website, you agree not to:

• break any law or infringe anyone's rights;
• try to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers or any connected system;
• introduce malware or interfere with how the website works;
• scrape, copy or collect content or data from the website by automated means;
• send false, misleading, offensive or unsolicited material through our forms; or
• pretend to be someone else when contacting us.

8. Other websites and services

The website links to services run by others, such as WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and map providers. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.

9. Availability and changes

We work to keep the website accurate and available, but we may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time without notice. We do not promise that it will always be complete, current, secure or free of errors.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, FOBICA is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website, or from reliance on its general content, including loss of profit, business, revenue or data.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law. Our liability for services you engage us to provide is set out in the engagement contract, not in these terms.

11. Indemnity

If you misuse the website or break these terms, you agree to compensate FOBICA for any reasonable loss or cost that results, including legal costs.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute about them will be subject to the courts of competent jurisdiction in India.
