Terms & Conditions

1. Who you're contracting with

These workshops are operated by Pradeep Siddappa as an individual, under the brand name Designers Who Build. When you register and pay, you're entering an agreement with Pradeep Siddappa personally - not with a separate company. References to "we", "us", or "DWB" in this document mean the same thing.

2. What you're buying

A seat in a one-day in-person workshop, plus the materials we provide (build playbook, deployed workshop project, follow-up notes). Workshop dates, location, and price are listed on the registration page when you book.

Cohort sizes are capped (typically 5-25 builders) so we can give each person attention. Seats are first-come, first-served once payment clears.

3. Payment

Once we receive your application, we'll email payment instructions to the email address you registered with - usually a UPI ID, QR code, or a hosted payment link. Your seat is reserved only after payment is confirmed.

All fees are quoted in Indian Rupees (₹), exclusive of any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. The participant is responsible for any taxes, levies, or charges imposed by their jurisdiction.

4. Refunds and cancellations

If you cancel

• 7+ days before the workshop: full refund.
• Within 7 days of the workshop: no refund. We've already committed venue, mentor time, and materials for the small group.
• To cancel, email [email protected] from the address you registered with. Refunds are processed within 7 working days to the original payment method.

If we cancel

• If we cancel a cohort for any reason (low enrollment, mentor unavailable, force majeure - see Section 9), you get a full refund automatically, OR a credit equal to your payment toward the next cohort - your choice.
• We notify by email at least 48 hours before the workshop date when possible.

5. What you bring, what you take home

You bring the idea (or none - we'll find one together). You take home the working product you build at the workshop. You own it. We don't claim any rights to the code, content, brand, or IP of what you ship.

We retain rights to our teaching materials - the playbook, slide decks, sample projects, workshop curriculum. You're welcome to use them for your own learning; please don't redistribute or sell them.

6. Conduct in the room

The workshops are small and intentionally welcoming. We expect everyone to:

• Be respectful of every other participant, regardless of skill level.
• Not harass, demean, or discriminate against anyone on any basis.
• Respect the confidentiality of what others share about their work, ideas, or problems during the workshop.
• Not record audio/video of others without their consent.

We reserve the right to remove any participant from the workshop, without refund, who engages in behavior we determine to be harmful, harassing, or disruptive to the cohort. This is a single-strike rule for harassment.

7. Photography and follow-up

We sometimes take photos during the workshop for marketing (recap posts, future landing pages, this very website). If you'd rather not appear in those, just tell us before or during the workshop and we'll keep you out of frame and review any uploads. Same applies to testimonial requests after - participation is voluntary.

8. What we don't promise

Workshop outcomes depend on each participant's prior experience, ideas, and effort during the day. We do not warrant or guarantee any specific outcome, including but not limited to: business success, hireability, technical mastery, code quality, or the commercial viability of any product built during the workshop. The workshop is provided on an "as is" basis.

9. Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform under these terms due to causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, government action, pandemics, civil unrest, internet or power outages affecting the venue. In such cases the refund/credit terms in Section 4 apply.

10. Limitation of liability

Our total liability to any participant under these terms shall not exceed the fee actually paid by that participant for the workshop in question. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, business interruption, or data loss.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Material changes will be emailed to anyone with an active registration. Continuing to use the workshops after a change means you accept the new terms.
