Confidentiality and Indemnity Clause

Confidentiality:

1. The only individuals who will have access to your submission pitch decks (in addition to the E-Cell Team) will be the assigned judges.

2. These judges will be entrepreneurs and investors who have agreed to maintain confidentiality of all submissions. We have asked them to treat your work product with care and respect for confidentiality. We also ask them to remove themselves from judging your plan if they do have a real conflict of interest. Feel free to mark your pitch deck - or any particular piece of it - as ''confidential,'' or to include any information you regard as truly proprietary.

3. Participants must be aware that it is not permissible for conducting "surveys" of companies who are potential competitors for your proposed venture under the guise of a "Student Project".You must be honest and open about your intentions. If you are working on your plan with any "outsider" from academia or industry, you have a responsibility to respect their intellectual property and to treat any information received from them as confidential.

4. Please note that the short description of your venture which you include with your entry form may be used in public documentation relating to the Competition.
