Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026

Note for the site owner: this is a starting template, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review it — especially the revenue-share, liability and jurisdiction clauses — before you publish, and delete this box.

1. These terms

These terms govern your use of the AcademicNest website. Services we deliver are governed by the separate written agreement signed between AcademicNest and the client institution. Where the two conflict, the signed agreement prevails.

2. Website content

Information on this site, including pricing, is provided for general guidance. Prices are indicative starting points, exclusive of GST, and may change. A binding commercial arrangement exists only once a written proposal or agreement is signed by both parties.

3. No guarantee of outcomes

We do not guarantee a specific number of admissions, a specific marketing result, or the grant of CBSE affiliation or any other regulatory approval. Regulatory outcomes are decided by the relevant authority at its own discretion and on its own timelines. We commit to defined deliverables, effort and process, not to third-party decisions.

4. Fees and payment

  • Admission revenue share is invoiced only against students who enrol and pay, at the rate stated in the signed agreement.
  • Marketing retainers are billed monthly in advance; media spend is billed to the client by the ad platform directly.
  • Affiliation consulting is billed at agreed milestones; government, Board and statutory charges are borne by the client.
  • Automation is billed as a one-time setup fee plus a subscription; message credits are billed at cost.
  • All fees are exclusive of GST and other applicable taxes. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice.

5. Client responsibilities

The client agrees to provide timely access to accounts, assets, documents and personnel; to give accurate information about fees, courses and facilities; and to respond to enquiries and approvals within reasonable timelines. Delays caused by the client may affect deliverables and timelines.

6. Intellectual property and ownership

Client-owned assets — brand, logos, social handles, ad accounts, student data and CRM records — remain the client's property throughout and after the engagement. Creative work produced and paid for under an engagement is licensed to the client for its own use. AcademicNest's methodologies, templates, scripts and internal tools remain AcademicNest's property.

7. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential and use it only to perform the engagement.

8. Data protection

Where AcademicNest processes personal data on behalf of a client institution, it does so on the institution's documented instructions and applies reasonable security measures. See our Privacy Policy.

9. Term and termination

Termination terms are set out in the signed agreement. Unless stated otherwise: admission engagements may be ended with 30 days' written notice, with revenue share still payable on students already enrolled through AcademicNest; marketing retainers have a three-month initial term and 30 days' notice thereafter; automation subscriptions run for the paid term.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including loss of profits or reputation. AcademicNest's total aggregate liability under an engagement is limited to the fees paid by the client to AcademicNest in the three months preceding the claim.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Ahmedabad, Gujarat shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless the signed agreement states otherwise.
