  • Infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party;
  • Contains offensive, hateful, or harmful material;

The school directory on the Platform is based on publicly available data, including CBSE affiliation records. The Operator does not independently verify each school's current operational status, affiliation standing, ownership, management, or financial condition.

The Operator will review all reports and take action it deems appropriate, which may include removing Content, suspending the relevant Account, or reporting the matter to law enforcement authorities.

Reports made in good faith will not result in any action against the reporting User. However, deliberate false reports made to harm other Users may themselves constitute a violation of these Terms.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties, in the English language, and the seat of arbitration shall be India.

Step 4 — Courts: For matters not subject to arbitration, and for interim or injunctive relief, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of India.

31. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms without affecting the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The severed provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

32. Waiver

The failure of the Operator to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
