Manalang Ventures LLP, trading as First500days
Last updated: 1st September, 2026
This website (first500days.com, together with its subdomains and pages) is operated by Manalang Ventures LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in India under LLPIN ACJ-6750, with its registered office at New Delhi, India, 110015. We trade as First500days.
In these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Manalang Ventures LLP. “You” and “your” mean the person or organisation using this website or engaging our services.
You can contact us at [email protected]. Email is the channel of record for anything contractual, including notices under these Terms.
These Terms of Use govern your use of our website and the general basis on which we provide services.
Where we agree to work with you, a separate engagement letter, proposal or statement of work will set out the specific services, deliverables, fees and timelines. That document, together with these Terms, forms the agreement between us. If there is any conflict between the two, the engagement letter takes precedence.
By using this website you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.
We serve clients in multiple countries. Some of what follows is affected by the law where you live, and nothing in these Terms removes rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law in your own country — see clause 22.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract. If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company, partnership or other organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.
This clause is the most important one in these Terms. Please read it carefully.
4.1 We are business builders and consultants. We provide business consulting, venture building, product and technology development, market entry support, and business advisory in connection with founder and startup visa programmes. Our work includes business planning, market and competitor research, financial modelling, innovation assessment, product and MVP development, company formation support, evidence and documentation preparation, and post-approval operating support.
4.2 We do not provide immigration advice or immigration services. We are not immigration advisers, immigration lawyers, or a regulated immigration practice in any jurisdiction. In the United Kingdom, immigration advice and services are regulated, and may only be provided by persons regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (formerly the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner), or by a qualified solicitor or barrister. We are not so regulated, and nothing we provide is immigration advice.
We do not advise on your immigration status, eligibility for leave to enter or remain, visa conditions, or the merits of any immigration application. We do not complete, submit or file immigration applications on your behalf, and we do not represent you before any immigration authority.
4.3 You must take your own regulated advice. Any immigration application must be prepared and filed by a regulated immigration adviser or qualified lawyer, engaged directly by you and paid by you. Where we introduce you to such an adviser, we do so as an introduction only: they are independent of us, you contract with them directly, and we are not responsible for their advice, conduct or fees.
4.4 We do not guarantee any outcome. We do not guarantee, and cannot guarantee, endorsement by any endorsing or designated body, the grant of any visa or immigration permission, investment, funding, revenue, customers or any other commercial result. Decisions on endorsement and immigration rest solely with the relevant endorsing body and immigration authority, applying their own criteria. Any timelines, ranges or examples we give are estimates based on experience, not commitments.
4.5 We do not work on outcome-contingent fees. Our fees are payable for the work we perform, not for any result achieved. We do not accept success fees, contingency fees or refunds triggered by an immigration decision.
4.6 Nothing here is legal, tax, financial or investment advice. Information on this website and in our materials is general in nature. Immigration routes, eligibility criteria, financial requirements, fees and processing times change frequently and vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Always verify current requirements with the relevant official government source and with a suitably qualified professional before acting.
5.1 Your information. You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and honesty of all information, documents and materials you give us. We rely on them. We are not liable for any consequence arising from information you provided that was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading.
5.2 What we will not do. We will not prepare, support, endorse or assist with any statement, document or representation that we believe to be false or misleading, whether to an endorsing body, an immigration authority, an investor, a bank or any other party. We will not create fabricated evidence, backdated documents or artificial traction.
5.3 Consequences. If we become aware that information you have given us is materially false or misleading, or that our work is being used for a purpose we consider dishonest or unlawful, we may suspend or terminate the engagement immediately. Fees for work already performed remain payable, and prepaid fees for work not yet performed will be refunded.
6.1 Proposals. Proposals and fee estimates are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise, and are not binding until confirmed in writing by both parties and any required payment is received.
6.2 Scope. We will perform the services described in the engagement letter with reasonable skill and care. Work outside that scope is chargeable and will be agreed in writing before we start it.
6.3 Your cooperation. Our timelines assume you provide information, feedback, approvals and access when we ask for them. Delays caused by you may move dates and, where they cause us additional work, may increase fees.
6.4 The initial review period. Where an engagement includes an initial diagnostic or review period described in the engagement letter, the terms of any fee credit or refund associated with it — including its duration, what triggers it and how it is applied — are as set out in that engagement letter.
7.1 Fees. Fees, currency, milestones and payment schedule are set out in the engagement letter. Fee ranges shown on this website are indicative only, are not offers, and do not form part of any contract.
7.2 Payment terms. Invoices are payable within defined days of the invoice date unless stated otherwise. We may suspend work on overdue accounts after giving written notice.
7.3 Taxes and charges. Fees are exclusive of goods and services tax, value added tax, withholding tax and any other applicable taxes or duties, which you pay in addition where they apply. You bear your own bank charges, currency conversion costs and payment processing fees.
7.4 Third-party costs. Our fees do not include government or authority fees, endorsing body or assessment fees, immigration health surcharges, legal or immigration adviser fees, incorporation and statutory filing fees, trademark or IP registration fees, software licences, or your own travel and relocation costs. These are payable by you, directly, in addition to our fees.
7.5 Refunds. Except as expressly set out in the engagement letter, or where required by law, fees for work performed are non-refundable.
8.1 Our website and materials. All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, images, layout, code, and our frameworks, methodologies, templates and playbooks — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. You may view it and print or download extracts for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You may not copy, republish, distribute, sell, adapt, scrape, or use it commercially, or use automated tools to extract it, without our written permission.
8.2 Your materials. You keep ownership of everything you give us. You grant us a licence to use it for the purpose of performing the services.
8.3 Deliverables. On full payment of all fees due under an engagement, ownership of the deliverables created specifically for you under that engagement transfers to you.
8.4 Our pre-existing and generic materials. We keep ownership of everything we owned or developed before or outside the engagement, and of our general know-how, frameworks, methods, tools and reusable components. Where those are embedded in a deliverable, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use them as part of that deliverable.
8.5 Open source and third-party components. Software deliverables may include third-party or open-source components licensed under their own terms, which will be identified to you and which govern your use of those components.
Each of us will keep the other's confidential information confidential, use it only for the purposes of the engagement, and protect it with reasonable care. This does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, was already lawfully known, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law or by a regulator — in which case we will tell you where we are permitted to.
We may disclose your information to our personnel, subcontractors and professional advisers who need it, on equivalent confidentiality terms. These obligations continue for three years after the engagement ends, and indefinitely for trade secrets.
We will not publish your name, logo, likeness, quotation or the details of your engagement without your prior written permission. Where you give permission, you may withdraw it at any time by writing to [email protected], and we will remove the material from our website within a reasonable period.
Testimonials and case studies on this website describe the experience of particular clients. They are not a promise or prediction of results for anyone else.
This website may link to third-party sites, and our services may involve introductions to third parties — including immigration advisers, lawyers, accountants, banks, incubators, endorsing bodies and investors. We do not control them, do not endorse them by linking or introducing, and are not responsible for their content, services, advice, fees or conduct. Any relationship you form with them is between you and them.
You agree not to use this website to: break any law; transmit malware or harmful code; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its infrastructure; interfere with its operation or security; scrape, harvest or systematically extract content or personal data; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; or use it in any way that could damage or overburden it.
We may suspend or withdraw access to the site, in whole or in part, at any time, and we do not guarantee it will always be available or uninterrupted.
We take care with the information on this website, but we provide it for general information only. Immigration and business regulations change, and content may become out of date. We do not warrant that website content is accurate, complete or current, and we may change it at any time without notice. Any reliance you place on it is at your own risk.
We handle personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which form part of these Terms. Please read them.
If you provide your contact details, we may contact you about your enquiry or engagement. We will send marketing communications only where we are permitted to do so, and you can opt out at any time — by using the unsubscribe link in any email, replying STOP to any message, or writing to [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not stop service-related communications about a live engagement.
16.1 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
16.2 Subject to clause 16.1, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for: loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill or anticipated savings; loss or corruption of data; any indirect or consequential loss; any refusal, delay or adverse decision by any endorsing body, immigration authority, investor, bank or other third party; any consequence of information you provided that was inaccurate or incomplete; or the acts, omissions or advice of any third party, including immigration advisers or lawyers.
16.3 Subject to clause 16.1, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the total fees actually paid by you to us under that engagement in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
16.4 For use of this website where no engagement exists, our liability is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the website is provided “as is” and “as available”.
16.5 Any claim must be brought within twelve months of the date you became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the circumstances giving rise to it.
You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, from information you supplied to us that was false or misleading, or from your use of our deliverables for a purpose other than the one agreed.
Either party may terminate an engagement by giving [X] days' written notice. We may suspend or terminate immediately where fees are overdue, where clause 5.3 applies, or where continuing would breach law or professional standards.
On termination: fees for work performed and costs committed up to the termination date are payable; we will deliver work in progress on payment; and clauses that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability and governing law — continue to apply.
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, epidemics, government action, changes in law or immigration policy, strikes, or failures of utilities, internet or third-party infrastructure.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the date you use the website applies to that use. Changes do not affect a live engagement unless agreed in writing. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify clients with an active engagement. The “last updated” date at the top shows when this page last changed.
These Terms and the engagement letter are the entire agreement between us on their subject matter, and replace any earlier discussions or representations. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in force. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive it. You may not assign your rights without our written consent; we may assign or subcontract, but remain responsible for the services. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship. A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right to enforce them.
22.1 These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of India.
22.2 The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith by discussion, within 30 days of written notice. If unresolved, the dispute will be referred to arbitration by a sole arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. The seat and venue of arbitration is [CITY], India, and the language is English. Subject to that, the courts of [CITY], India have exclusive jurisdiction.
22.3 Your local rights. If you are a consumer resident outside India, nothing in this clause deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that law gives you that right.
