For the purposes of these Terms:

Use of the Platform is permitted only to persons who are legally competent to contract under Applicable Law. If you are under the age of 18 years, the Platform may be used only with the involvement, supervision or consent of a parent or lawful guardian.

Where registration is required, you agree to provide accurate, complete and current information, and to promptly update such information if it changes. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur through your account, whether or not authorized by you.

The Company may suspend, restrict or terminate any account, registration or access if any information provided appears false, incomplete, misleading, outdated or if the Company believes that your use may violate these Terms, Applicable Law or the rights of any third party.

The Platform acts as a technology-enabled educational facilitation and partner engagement platform. Depending on the relevant Program, the Platform may enable discovery of Programs, counselling support, lead capture, application support, payment facilitation, partner onboarding, partner performance tracking, communication workflows and related support services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, the Platform itself is not the university, degree-granting body or certifying authority for Programs listed on the Platform. Academic delivery, eligibility, curriculum, faculty, assessment, accreditation, issuance of certificates or degrees, timelines, fee structure and final admission decisions may be determined by the relevant Academic Institution or Program provider.

The Company reserves the right to add, remove, modify, suspend or discontinue any Program, service, feature, page, listing, campaign, eligibility requirement, dashboard functionality or access model at any time, with or without prior notice.

You may use the Platform solely for lawful purposes connected with discovering, evaluating, applying for, enrolling into, supporting, promoting or administering Programs, in accordance with your role and access permissions.

You shall not use the Platform in any manner that is fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, infringing, abusive, harmful, disruptive or contrary to Applicable Law.

You agree not to:

• impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person, institution or Program;
• submit false, fabricated or misleading information, documents, testimonials, leads or applications;
• use the Platform to misrepresent, overpromise outcomes, state incorrect fees, accreditation, rankings, placements, scholarships, duration, refunds or Program features;

Any information, enquiry, document, application data, communication, testimonial, review, KYC document, lead data or other submission provided by you must be true, accurate, complete and lawfully shared. You confirm that you have the right to share all such information and that such sharing does not violate confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property or any other rights.

You acknowledge that the Company may verify submitted information independently or through third parties and may reject, withhold, remove or report any submission that appears inaccurate, unlawful, suspicious, incomplete or misleading.

Information regarding Programs on the Platform is provided for convenience and informational purposes. While reasonable efforts may be taken to keep Program details current, the Company does not warrant that all Program descriptions, seats, timelines, fee details, scholarships, placement information, outcomes or eligibility criteria will be continuously complete, accurate or available.

Admission, enrolment, scholarship approval, fee concessions, deferment, recognition of prior learning, placement outcomes and academic progression are subject to the independent policies and decisions of the relevant Academic Institution or Program provider. Listing on the Platform does not amount to a guarantee of admission, selection, certification, employment or salary outcome.

Any counselling, guidance, documentation assistance, loan support, application support or general advisory assistance made available through the Platform is facilitative in nature and should not be construed as a guarantee or as legal, financial or professional advice unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

Programs may require payment of registration amounts, application fees, counselling fees, subscription fees, service fees, Program fees or other charges. All applicable amounts shall be specified by the relevant Academic Institution or payment processor at the relevant time.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment gateways, banks, NBFCs or financing partners, and such transactions may be subject to their independent terms, processing timelines and verification requirements. The Company shall not be responsible for delays, failures or errors caused by third-party payment systems, though it may provide reasonable support in resolving payment-related issues.

Refund eligibility, timelines, deductions, reversals, chargebacks and forfeitures shall be governed by the applicable refund policy disclosed for the relevant Program, service, campaign or Academic Institution. Unless a specific refund policy states otherwise, no refund shall become due to the User except in accordance with the applicable refund policy.

The Company may withhold, reverse, adjust or decline any payout, credit, incentive, consideration / marketing fee referral fee or benefit where there is suspected fraud, duplicate attribution, cancellation, chargeback, ineligibility, policy breach, misrepresentation, non-payment by the student, regulatory restriction or any manifest error in records.

Any Partner access, dashboard access, referral arrangement, consideration / marketing fee structure, lead allocation, counselling workflow or enrolment support arrangement shall be governed by these Terms together with any separate partner agreement, payout schedule, lead attribution policy, operating manual or campaign-specific instructions communicated by the Company.

Partners shall act strictly on a non-exclusive and limited basis and shall not hold themselves out as employees, agents, franchisees, legal representatives or direct appointees of any Academic Institution unless expressly authorized in writing. No Partner may make independent promises, modify approved messaging, collect unauthorized monies, issue unauthorized discounts or communicate misleading claims to Leads or Students.
