10. How to Contact Us

1. Accounts

To use Skoolmo, you need to create an Account on the Platform. When setting up and maintaining your Account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid e-Mail Address, Mobile Phone Number and Date of Birth. You have complete responsibility for your Account and everything that happens on/through your Account, including any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your Account without your permission. You must therefore be careful with your Password by not sharing it with anyone and updating it periodically. You may not transfer your Account to someone else or use someone else’s Account without their permission. If you contact us to request access to an Account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us Login Credentials for that Account, which may also include other details pertaining to that Account. In the event of the death of a User, the Account of that User will be closed.

Should you share your Account Login Credentials with someone else, you are responsible for what happens with your Account and Skoolmo will not intervene in disputes between persons who have shared their Account Login Credentials. In case you suspect misuse of your Account or unauthorised access, you must notify us immediately by contacting our Support Team. Consequently, we may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your Account.

Users enrolling on Skoolmo must be at least 14 years of age to create an Account and use the Services. If you are younger than the required age, you may not set up an Account; you may, however, invite a Parent or Guardian to open an Account and help you enrol in Courses that are appropriate for you. If we discover that you have created an Account while being younger than the required age for consent to use our Services, we will terminate your Account without any notice.

2. Course Enrolment and Lifetime Access

As a User, when you enrol in a Course/Package, whether it is Free or Paid, you are granted a License from Skoolmo to view the Course/Package via the Skoolmo Platform. Courses/Packages are licensed, and not sold to you. This License does not give you any right to resell the Course/Package in any manner (including by sharing Account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the Course/Package and sharing it on the Internet).

In legal, more complete terms, Skoolmo grants you (as a Learner) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable License to access and view Courses/Packages and associated Content for which you have paid all required Fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes, in accordance with these Terms and any Conditions or restrictions associated with a particular Course/Package or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited; you may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any Course/Package, unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written Agreement signed by an Skoolmo Authorised Representative.

While Access License to your Account is generally for a lifetime, Access License to our Courses/Packages are subject to Time Limits mentioned against each Course/Package. You may, however, repurchase, renew or extend such Access License to a Course/Package at anytime, should such options be available for that particular Course/Package. Skoolmo reserves the right to revoke any License to access and use Courses/Packages at any point of time, in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a Course/Package due to Legal or Policy reasons, for example, if the Course you enrolled in is the object of a Copyright complaint. The Lifetime Access is not applicable to add-on Features and Services associated with a Course/Package.

Free Packs/Courses or access to Free Packs/Courses may be withdrawn with or without any prior Notice to the User. Changes to such Packs may also be made from time-to-time, which may include restrictions, features, content, etc., at the sole discretion of Skoolmo. Such changes may or may not be intimated to the User. Skoolmo also reserves to right to cancel any/all Free Packs or Course, as it deems fit.

3. Payments, Credits and Refunds

3.1 Pricing

Prices of Courses on Skoolmo are dynamic in nature, based on serval internal factors. Therefore the Price of a Course offered on the Skoolmo Website may not be exactly the same as the Price offered on our Mobile or TV Apps.

We regularly run promotions and sales for our Courses and certain Courses are only available at discounted Prices for a set period of time. The Price applicable to a Course will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the Course (at checkout). Any Price offered for a particular Course may also be different when you are logged into your account from the Price available to Users who aren’t registered or logged in, because some of our promotions and/or discounts are available to new Users only.

The listed Currency you see on Skoolmo is in Indian Rupees (INR). Payment through other Currencies may be possible only if our Payment Gateway Partner supports such transactions. If so, Skoolmo is not responsible for exchange rates and fluctuations of exchange rates during and until your transaction with the Payment Gateway is complete.

If you are a User located in a Country where the use of and Sales Tax, Goods and Services Tax, or Value Added Tax is applicable to Consumer Sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that Tax to proper Tax Authorities. In certain Countries, the price you see may include such Taxes.

3.2 Payments

You agree to pay Fees for Courses you purchase, and you authorise us to charge your Debit or Credit Card or process other means of payment (such as Mobile Wallets, Net Banking, etc.) for those Fees. Skoolmo works with third-party Payment Processing Partners to offer you the most convenient payment methods, who keep your payment information secure. More details are available in our Privacy Policy.

When you make a purchase, you agree not to use any invalid or unauthorised payment method. In the rare event your payment (method) fails and you still get Access to the Course you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding Fees within Thirty (30) Days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable Access to any Course for which we have not received adequate payments.

In some cases, we may issue Credits to your Account, which will automatically be applied towards your next Course purchase on our Website, but may not be useable for purchases on our Mobile or TV Apps. Credits may expire if not used within the specified period, and have no cash value.

3.3 Credits and Refunds

If the Course you purchased is not what you were expecting, you can request (within 3 Days of your purchase of the Course), that Skoolmo cancel the purchase and Credit/Refund your Account. We reserve the right to apply a Credit or a Refund at our discretion, depending on capabilities of our Payment Processing Partners or the Platform from which you purchased your Course (Website, Mobile or TV App). No credit or Refund is due to you if you request it after the 3-Day time limit has passed. To request a Credit/Refund, please contact our Support Team.

At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our Credit/Refund Policy, we reserve the right to ban your Account and to restrict all future use of Services. If we ban your Account or disable your Access to a Course due to your violation of these Terms, you will not be eligible to receive any Credit or Refund.

Even if we are delayed in exercising our Rights or fail to exercise a Right in one case, it does not mean we waive our Rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future.

The following Sections shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms: Sections 2 (Course Enrolment and Lifetime Access), 5 (Using Skoolmo at Your Own Risk), 6 (Skoolmo’s Rights), 7 (Miscellaneous Legal Terms), and 8 (Dispute Resolution).

7.2 Disclaimers

It may happen that our Platform is down, either for planned maintenance or because something goes down with the site. It may also happen that we encounter security issues. These are just examples. You accept that you will not have any recourse against us in any of these types of cases where things don’t work out right. In Legal, more complete language, the Services and their content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We (and our Affiliates, Suppliers, Partners and Agents) make no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, security, lack of errors, or accuracy of the Services or their Content, and expressly disclaim any Warranties or Conditions (express or implied), including implied Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that all Rights to your Account and other Rights under these Terms, terminate upon your death.

8. Dispute Resolution

Most disputes can be resolved before approaching a Court of Law. Please first try contacting our Support Team before considering any legal action.

8.1 Going to Arbitration

If we cannot resolve our dispute amicably, you and Skoolmo agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms (or our other Legal Terms) through final and binding arbitration, regardless of the type of claim. If one of us brings a claim in Court that should be arbitrated and the other Party refuses to arbitrate it, the other Party can ask a Court to force us both to go to arbitration (compel arbitration). Either of us can also ask a Court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

8.2 The Arbitration Process

Any dispute that is to be arbitrated has to be referred to the ‘Arbitration & Conciliation Centre’ (Bangalore, India). Skoolmo reserves the right to depute any Company or Legal Representative to be present and put forward its case before the Arbitrator.

8.3 No Class Actions

We both agree that we can each only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means: (a) neither of us can bring a claim as a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Class Action, Consolidated Action, or Representative Action; (b) an Arbitrator cannot combine multiple People’s claims into a single Case (or preside over any Consolidated, Class, or Representative Action); and (c) an Arbitrator’s decision or award in one Person’s case can only impact that User, not other Users, and cannot be used to decide other Users’ disputes.

8.4 Changes

Notwithstanding the “Updating these Terms” section below, if Skoolmo changes this "Dispute Resolution" Section after the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms, you may reject any such change by providing Skoolmo written notice of such rejection by e-Mail to: support@skoolmo.com, from the e-Mail address associated with your Account, within Thirty (30) Days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the "last updated on" language above. To be effective, the notice must include your Full Name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this "Dispute Resolution" Section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Skoolmo in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" Section as of the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms.

9. Updating these Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and Skoolmo reserves the right (at its sole discretion) to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by an e-Mail Notice sent to the e-Mail Address specified in your Account or by posting a Notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted, unless stated otherwise.
