3. The enforceability of a term sheet relies on the document's


specific terms and the jurisdiction in which it is employed.
Generally, a term sheet is viewed as a non-binding agreement,
meaning the involved parties are not legally obliged to proceed
with the outlined transaction or investment. However, certain
circumstances could render a term sheet binding, such as
explicit language within the document or actions taken by the
parties based on its terms. For instance, if a term sheet includes
language affirming the binding nature of its terms and
stipulating that subsequent agreements will be constructed upon
these terms, it may be considered binding. Additionally, if the
parties undertake actions like transferring funds or assets in line
with the term sheet, it could be deemed binding. It's crucial to
acknowledge that the enforceability of a term sheet is also
subject to the legal jurisdiction in question. In India, for
instance, a term sheet is typically non-binding unless it contains
language establishing its binding nature or if the parties have
conducted themselves in a manner that implies a binding
agreement.
