Terms of Use — NextGen Forge Technologies
Last updated: 24 July 2026

1. ABOUT US

NextGen Forge Technologies ("Company," "we," "us," "our") is an early-stage, India-based technology services business offering software development, AI integration, and technology consulting services, and operating a fee-based industry simulation internship program ("Program") for students and recent graduates. These Terms apply to the Company regardless of its business or organizational structure at any given time.

2. NOT AN EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

Participation in the Program, as currently structured (candidate-paid, no stipend), does not create any employer-employee relationship. The Program is educational and skill-development focused and does not entitle participants to wages, statutory employee benefits, or any guarantee of future employment with us or any third party. Should NextGen Forge Technologies in the future introduce a separate, stipend-paid internship track, that arrangement will be governed by its own distinct terms, which may carry different characteristics under applicable labor law, and will be communicated separately to participants of that track.

3. THE PROGRAM — WHAT YOU GET, AND WHAT THE FEE COVERS

Program fees are collected upfront and disclosed clearly before payment. The fee covers: an official offer letter, a structured industry-style project brief, biweekly mentor meetings for the Program duration, ongoing performance feedback, a completion certificate and experience letter upon successful completion, and (for tracks of 3 months or longer) a company email account.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT

4a. Program (internship) fees: collected upfront via our payment gateway before the Program begins, as displayed at application time. Future fee changes apply only to new applicants and do not retroactively affect participants who have already paid.

4b. Client project fees: for software development, AI integration, and consulting engagements, payment is due upon completion of the agreed project or milestone, as specified in the individual service agreement, proposal, or invoice for that engagement, unless a different payment schedule (e.g., milestone-based advance) is agreed in writing.

5. REFUNDS (PROGRAM ONLY)

See our Refund & Cancellation Policy, part of these Terms. Client project engagements are governed by the payment and cancellation terms in the applicable service agreement, not by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

(a) Program materials, project briefs, and mentorship content remain our intellectual property.

(b) Work product created by a Program participant as part of an assigned Program project is assigned to NextGen Forge Technologies upon creation, in consideration of the Program access, mentorship, and certification provided. Participants retain the right to reference and describe this work on their personal resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn, and to keep a personal copy for non-commercial demonstration.

(c) Intellectual property in client project deliverables is governed by the applicable service agreement for that engagement.

(d) If you disagree with the Program IP assignment, contact us before your project begins to discuss alternatives.

7. CONDUCT AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Participants must not share confidential project materials or mentor communications outside the Program. Breach may result in termination of Program access, with the refund policy governing any applicable refund.

8. NO GUARANTEE OF OUTCOMES

We do not guarantee employment, interviews, or any specific career outcome.

9. INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

We accept client engagements from outside India. Currency, payment method, and delivery terms for international engagements are set out in the individual service agreement or proposal. These Terms and all engagements are governed by the laws of India regardless of the client's location.

10. INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP APPLICANTS

We accept Program applicants from outside India. These Terms apply in full to international applicants, in addition to any Program-specific guidance provided at application stage.

11. THIRD-PARTY IMPERSONATION NOTICE

NextGen Forge Technologies operates exclusively at www.nextgenforgetechnologies.com and does not process international consumer transactions unrelated to our published services. We have identified unrelated third parties using similar names or descriptors. If you believe you were charged by an entity claiming to be us, please verify the transacting entity's exact name and domain and contact us at hr@nextgenforgetechnologies.com with supporting documentation before assuming any connection to our company.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim is limited to the amount actually paid for the relevant Program or service.

13. GOVERNING LAW

Governed by the laws of India; courts in India have jurisdiction.
