Terms of Use

Introduction

This is a legal and binding agreement between you, the user (referred to as “user” or “you”) of the Programs, as defined below, and Stratvard Education (together with its subsidiaries, and international affiliates, hereinafter “Stratvard Education,” “us,” “we,” or “our” or “the Company”) stating the terms that govern your use of the Platform, as defined below.

The website and mobile apps (collectively referred to as the “Platform”) and the information, services and other materials contained therein are provided and operated by Stratvard Education. Stratvard Education offers curated and specially designed online higher education and industry-relevant certification programs and career assistance services (“Programs”).

Please review our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and other policies available on the Platform (collectively referred to as the “Terms”) that govern the use of the Platform and Programs. By accepting these Terms in any manner or accessing the website, you consent, agree, and undertake to abide, be bound by and adhere to the Terms and if you do not agree to these Terms, you are not entitled to avail of/use the Programs and any use thereafter shall be unauthorised.

Each Program may have a separate set of terms dealing with refunds, deferrals, payments, etc. governing such Programs, and our corporate clients may have executed separate written agreements with us, which, in the event of a conflict, will supersede these Terms to the extent of the conflicting provisions.

These Terms shall apply to Stratvard Education hosted mobile apps, WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, Instagram pages, Facebook pages, email/SMS/phone communications and other social media forums hosted by Stratvard Education, which shall be deemed to be part of the ‘Platform’ by reference. You acknowledge that certain parts of the Platform, as mentioned above, are provided by third-party service providers, and you agree to abide by their terms and conditions. Stratvard Education shall not be responsible for any disruption of services caused by such third-party service providers.

Although you may “bookmark” a particular portion of the Platform and thereby bypass these Terms, your use of the Platform still binds you to these Terms.

We may change these Terms from time to time without prior notice. You should review this page regularly. Your continued use of the Platform and Programs after changes have been made will be taken to indicate that you have read and accepted those changes. You should not use the Platform or Programs if you are not happy with any changes to these Terms.

Stratvard Education makes no representations that the Platform operates (or is legally permitted to operate) in all geographic areas, or that the Platform, or information, services or products offered through the Platform are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Accessing the Platform from territories where the Platform, or any content or functionality of the Platform or its portions thereof is illegal, is expressly prohibited.

If you choose to access the Platform, you agree and acknowledge that you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk and that you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

User Accounts, User Registration and Delivery of Services

In order to participate in most Platform activities and to apply for a Program, you will need to register for a personal account (“User Account”) by undergoing a two-step verification process to verify your login credentials such as your phone number, by way of a one-time password which will be sent to your phone number simultaneously and/or by providing an email address and a password that is unique.

Upon payment of the Program fees – in part or whole, depending on the Program – Stratvard Education shall deliver the terms of use of the Program and grant you access to the Program. The invoice may be provided to you along with the email confirmation or within two (2) months thereafter. This shall be a proof of delivery against the successful payment of fees.

Owing to certain exceptional circumstances, if Stratvard Education has granted you access to a Program pending payment, and Stratvard Education does not receive payments within the stipulated time periods, Stratvard Education may, at its own discretion, withdraw your access to the Program without giving any prior notice.

You agree that you will never divulge or share access to your User Account with any third party for any reason. You also agree that you will create, use and/or access only one User Account, and that you will not use any User Account other than your own.

In setting up your User Account, you may be prompted or required to enter additional information, including but not limited to your name and email address. Additional information may be required to confirm your identity. You understand and agree that all information provided by you is accurate, current and complete and that you will maintain and update your information to keep it accurate, current and complete.

You acknowledge that if any information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we reserve the right to terminate your use of the Platform and your enrolment into a Program, to the extent applicable.

In addition to the registration process, as part of your use of the Platform or participation in the Programs, we may obtain certain information about you and your performance in the Programs. Some of this information may be Personally Identifiable Information. We may use, maintain, and store this information to provide certain services to you now and in the future.

Irrespective of the fact if you have registered yourself under DND or DNC or NCPR service, you still authorize us to give you a call from us or any third party for the above mentioned purposes till 365 days of your registration with us.

Payment Terms and Refund Policy

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Stratvard Education, full payment for participation in a Program is required at the time of registration. In the case of Programs that include a trial window, such trial window shall be made available only after the full payment.

During the trial window, upon a request by the student, and to the satisfaction of Stratvard Education, Stratvard Education may, in accordance with the applicable refund policy for the particular Program, choose to refund the Program Fees paid, subject to deduction of such applicable charges for including but not limiting to administrative and marketing expenses, as may be decided by Stratvard Education from time to time.

Once the trial window is closed, there will be no refund allowed for any reason whatsoever. For all programs where there is no trial window or preparatory session, refund shall be done in accordance with the terms and conditions of the refund policy of the respective program.

It is the sole responsibility of the user enrolling into a Program to check the accuracy of, and evaluate the suitability and relevance of, the Program elected. The enrolment into a Program is non-transferable.

To make payment for any Program or to purchase any services or products offered by Stratvard Education through the Platform, you must have internet access and a current valid accepted payment method as indicated during sign-up (“Payment Method”).

Stratvard Education does not store any of your credit card information or such other information restricted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for processing payment and has partnered with payment gateways for the payment towards the services.

By using a third-party payment provider, you agree to abide by the terms of such a payment provider. You agree that in case Stratvard Education’s third-party payment provider stores any such information, Stratvard Education will not be responsible for such storage.

Any loss of such information or any loss incurred by you due to the usage of such information will be solely a loss incurred by you, and Stratvard Education is in no way liable for any such losses and is neither responsible to reimburse or make good such losses in any manner whatsoever.

Stratvard Education or its representatives will not ask for OTP or other authentication related information for any purpose, and we urge you to be cautious while making payments and during financial transactions.

Failure to pay the applicable Program fee may result in withdrawal of your access to a Program.

Depending on where you transact with us, the type of payment method used and where your payment was issued, your transaction with us may be subject to foreign exchange fees or exchange rates. Stratvard Education does not support all payment methods, currencies or locations for payment.

All applicable taxes are calculated based on the billing information you provide to us at the time of enrolment or purchase.
