Terms of Use

Last updated: 24 September 2026 · Applies to valueengineeringhub.com (VAVEhub) · Maintained by Avinash Bhosale

The short version

VAVEhub is a free, non-commercial Value Engineering learning resource run by one practitioner. Use it to learn, use the templates in your own work, and share your certificate. Please don't copy the site or resell its content, and remember it is education — not professional advice for a specific project.

Using the site

• The site, the VE Academy and the toolkit are free. No payment is taken and none is required.
• You agree not to misuse the site: no attempts to break security, scrape content at scale, overload the service, or impersonate someone else.
• If you create an account, keep your sign-in details to yourself and give your real name — it appears on your certificate.

Your certificate

The Certificate of Completion shows that you completed the VAVEhub VE Academy and passed its final exam at 80% or above. It is an independent educational credential: it is not a professional certification and is not accredited by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any professional body. Certificates are publicly checkable by ID on the verification page. A certificate obtained dishonestly — for example by someone else sitting the exam — may be withdrawn.

Content, templates and licence

• All site content, course material, diagrams and templates are © Avinash Bhosale.
• The toolkit templates are free for personal and internal company use, with attribution.
• Commercial redistribution, resale, or republishing the course or its content elsewhere is not permitted without written permission.
• Brief quotations with a link back to the source are welcome.

Education, not professional advice

The course, figures, case studies and tools are for general education. Savings percentages, cost examples and benchmarks are illustrative. Before you act on anything here in a real product, sourcing or safety decision, check it against your own data, standards and qualified colleagues. Case studies summarise publicly reported sources, which are cited where used.

Trademarks

SAVE International®, TRIZ®, DFMA® and other names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners. They are referred to only to describe the field factually; VAVEhub is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

Availability and liability

The site is provided free and "as is". It may change, pause or be withdrawn at any time, and we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from use of the site or its content. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot legally be limited.

Privacy

How your data is handled is covered in the Privacy Policy.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, the "last updated" date above changes with them. Questions? Email bhosale.avinash546@gmail.com.
