5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER

5.1 No Guarantee of Intellectual Property Legitimacy

MYCrave Consultancy & Services, through its Intellectual Property Bank (IPBANK INDIA), provides a digital platform for intellectual property (IP) transactions, allowing users to buy, sell, license, or share patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, industrial designs, and other forms of legally recognized IP assets. However, it is expressly stated that MYCrave Consultancy & Services does not verify, validate, authenticate, or guarantee the legitimacy, enforceability, or marketability of any intellectual property asset listed on IPBANK INDIA. The responsibility of ensuring that an IP asset is valid, legally sound, and free of encumbrances rests entirely with the IP Owner and the Buyer/Licensee engaging in the transaction.

Users acknowledge and agree that the presence of an IP listing on IPBANK INDIA does not indicate or constitute any legal validation, endorsement, or certification by MYCrave Consultancy & Services. All claims regarding the ownership, originality, and validity of IP assets are made solely by the listing user, and IPBANK INDIA does not conduct independent audits, legal reviews, or regulatory compliance checks on the submitted assets. As a result, MYCrave Consultancy & Services shall not be held liable for any disputes, claims, or challenges arising from the legality, authenticity, or enforceability of an IP asset listed on IPBANK INDIA.

Users further acknowledge that intellectual property rights are jurisdictional, meaning that an IP right granted in one country does not automatically grant rights in another jurisdiction unless specifically filed and approved under that country’s laws. It is the sole responsibility of the IP Owner, Buyer, or Licensee to conduct due diligence, seek legal advice, and verify the applicability, territorial scope, and validity of the listed IP asset before engaging in any transaction. 

5.2 No Guarantee of Successful Transactions

MYCrave Consultancy & Services does not guarantee, promise, or assure that any intellectual property asset listed on IPBANK INDIA will be successfully sold, licensed, or otherwise transacted. Listing an IP asset on IPBANK INDIA does not create an obligation on MYCrave Consultancy & Services to find buyers, investors, or licensees for the listed asset.

The success of an IP transaction depends on various external factors, including but not limited to:

·         Market demand for the IP asset

·         The valuation, perceived utility, and commercial viability of the IP

·         The legal standing and registration status of the intellectual property

·         The willingness of potential buyers, investors, or licensees to engage in a transaction

·         Regulatory and legal barriers in the jurisdiction where the transaction is intended to take place

Users explicitly understand that IPBANK INDIA operates only as an intermediary and that MYCrave Consultancy & Services is not responsible for facilitating, negotiating, or ensuring the completion of transactions between parties. All agreements, payments, and obligations related to IP transactions must be independently managed and executed by the parties involved.

5.3 No Warranty on Accuracy of Information Provided by Users

The details provided in any listing, including descriptions, ownership claims, legal status, associated documentation, and transaction terms, are the sole responsibility of the IP Owner creating the listing. MYCrave Consultancy & Services does not verify, edit, or validate the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information provided by users.

Users agree that MYCrave Consultancy & Services shall not be held liable for any false, misleading, or inaccurate information posted by users on IPBANK INDIA. If an IP Buyer or Licensee suffers losses, damages, or legal consequences due to reliance on incorrect or fraudulent information provided by an IP Owner, the affected party shall seek recourse directly from the listing user and not from MYCrave Consultancy & Services.

5.4 No Liability for Legal Disputes or Ownership Challenges

Users understand and agree that MYCrave Consultancy & Services is not responsible for resolving legal disputes, ownership challenges, or third-party claims regarding an intellectual property asset listed on IPBANK INDIA. Any dispute arising from alleged infringement, ownership conflicts, competing rights, or regulatory objections must be resolved exclusively between the involved parties, including the IP Owner, Buyer, Licensee, and any third-party challengers.

MYCrave Consultancy & Services shall not be a party to any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal proceeding arising from an IP transaction conducted on IPBANK INDIA. Furthermore, in cases where a listed IP asset is found to be fraudulent, stolen, misrepresented, or otherwise invalid, MYCrave Consultancy & Services reserves the right to remove the listing and terminate the associated user account without liability.

If an IP dispute arises after a transaction has been completed, MYCrave Consultancy & Services shall not be liable for financial losses, damages, or reputational harm suffered by either party. It is strongly advised that both IP Owners and Buyers/Licensees conduct comprehensive legal due diligence before finalizing any transaction.

5.5 No Legal or Financial Advice Provided

MYCrave Consultancy & Services does not offer legal, financial, investment, or valuation advice regarding intellectual property transactions on IPBANK INDIA. Users acknowledge that IPBANK INDIA is a marketplace platform and not a legal advisory service. Any information, resources, or general guidance provided on IPBANK INDIA does not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice, and users should consult qualified legal professionals, financial advisors, or patent attorneys before making any decisions related to the buying, selling, or licensing of intellectual property.

MYCrave Consultancy & Services disclaims any responsibility for financial losses, failed investments, or strategic business decisions based on information obtained from IPBANK INDIA. Users are solely responsible for assessing market risks, legal risks, and financial risks before engaging in transactions.

5.6 Indemnification and Release of Liability

By using IPBANK INDIA, users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MYCrave Consultancy & Services, its employees, officers, directors, affiliates, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, legal actions, or losses arising from:

·         Regulatory violations or non-compliance with intellectual property laws

·         Third-party infringement claims against an IP asset

Users further release MYCrave Consultancy & Services from any liability arising from indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages related to their use of IPBANK INDIA. This limitation of liability extends to financial loss, business interruptions, reputational harm, and legal expenses incurred due to disputes, failed transactions, or intellectual property challenges.

5.7 No Liability for Third-Party Services or Payment Processing

IPBANK INDIA may integrate third-party payment processing services, escrow accounts, legal consultation partners, or valuation services to facilitate transactions. MYCrave Consultancy & Services does not control, manage, or take responsibility for these third-party services. Users agree that any technical failures, transaction errors, delays, fraudulent payments, or chargeback issues arising from third-party service providers must be addressed directly with the respective provider and not with MYCrave Consultancy & Services.

IPBANK INDIA users must comply with the terms and conditions of third-party service providers, and MYCrave Consultancy & Services shall not be held liable for service interruptions, financial discrepancies, or compliance failures related to external services.

5.8 Acknowledgment of Risks by Users
