1. Introduction

Welcome to Aravind's Academy, operating through the website aravindchandra.com and associated official communication channels.

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and participation in all programmes, courses, workshops, webinars, training sessions, mentorship services, coaching sessions, digital learning materials and other services offered by Aravind's Academy ("Academy", "we", "us" or "our").

By registering for a programme and expressly accepting these Terms, or by completing enrolment after receiving and accepting the applicable conditions, participants agree to be bound by these Terms.

Participants are encouraged to read these Terms carefully before making any payment or participating in any programme.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable Indian law.

2. Nature of Services

Aravind's Academy provides educational, coaching, mindfulness, personal-development and self-improvement programmes.

Programme content may include subjects such as mindfulness, mindset development, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), meditation, guided visualisation, hypnosis-related techniques, personal growth, emotional awareness, spiritual concepts, Law of Attraction, behavioural patterns and related practices.

These services are primarily educational and developmental in nature.

Certain concepts and practices discussed in programmes may be philosophical, experiential or spiritual in nature and may not have established scientific or clinical effectiveness.

Participation is voluntary. Programme content is not intended to replace qualified professional advice, diagnosis or treatment.

3. No Guarantee of Results or Success

Aravind's Academy makes no guarantee, warranty, representation or promise that participation in any programme will produce a particular personal, professional, financial, emotional, physical, spiritual or other result.

In particular, the Academy does not guarantee:

Financial success, wealth creation, increased income or business growth.
Employment, career advancement, promotions or professional achievements.
Improvement or restoration of relationships.
Any specific manifestation or Law of Attraction outcome.
Elimination of fears, negative beliefs or behavioural patterns.
Recovery from anxiety, depression, trauma or any medical or psychological condition.
Improvement in physical or mental health.
Permanent personality, lifestyle or behavioural transformation.
Spiritual awakening or any particular spiritual experience.
Results within a specified period.

The success stories, examples, testimonials, teaching methods, exercises and experiences discussed during programmes do not constitute guarantees of similar outcomes for other participants.

Outcomes depend on numerous individual and external circumstances, many of which are beyond the Academy's control.

Programme fees are paid for access to the agreed educational or coaching services, not for any guaranteed outcome.

Failure to achieve a desired personal result shall not, by itself, constitute a failure or deficiency in the Academy's services.

This clause does not exclude responsibility for misleading representations, failure to provide agreed services, negligence or other legally actionable conduct.

4. Vrutham Programmes — Group Learning Format

4.1 Group-Based Programme

Vrutham Season 3 and subsequent Vrutham seasons are designed and delivered as group-based programmes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the written offering for a particular season, Vrutham programmes shall be conducted in a group-learning environment.

Sessions may include lectures, discussions, guided exercises, group activities, demonstrations, interactive learning and other educational methods.

4.2 No Entitlement to Individual Consultation

Enrolment in a Vrutham programme does not include or guarantee individual consultation, personal coaching, private mentorship or one-to-one sessions with Aravind Chandra or any other facilitator.

Participants are not entitled to demand:

Individual or private consultation sessions.
Personalised counselling or therapy.
Dedicated one-to-one mentoring.
Individual attention for any minimum duration.
Private follow-up calls or personal meetings.
Unlimited personal communication or individual WhatsApp support.
Personalised guidance concerning financial, medical, psychological, relationship or career issues.
Individual answers to every question raised during the programme.

Any individual response, personal interaction, feedback or additional guidance voluntarily provided during a group programme shall be at the facilitator's discretion and shall not establish an ongoing entitlement.

Where a particular programme expressly includes individual services, those services shall be governed by its specific written offering.

4.3 Group Participation

Due to the group-based structure, the Academy cannot guarantee that every participant will receive an opportunity to speak individually, present personal circumstances or receive a direct response to every question.

Participants acknowledge that the level of interaction may differ between sessions.

The Academy remains responsible for delivering the material services expressly promised for the relevant programme.

4.4 Future Seasons

These group-programme conditions apply to Vrutham Season 3 and subsequent Vrutham seasons unless a future season expressly provides different terms in its written offering.

Enrolment in one season does not automatically provide access to subsequent seasons.

5. Individual Coaching and Other Programmes

The Academy may separately offer individual coaching, mentorship, consultation programmes, workshops or other services.

Such services shall be provided according to the features, duration, access arrangements and deliverables expressly communicated and accepted at enrolment.

Individual coaching, where specifically included in a purchased programme, shall not be denied by relying on the group-programme conditions applicable to Vrutham.

No programme includes additional private sessions, lifetime mentorship, ongoing access or unlimited support unless expressly confirmed in writing.

No particular outcome is guaranteed for individual programmes.

6. Enrolment and Admission

Submission of an enquiry, registration form, WhatsApp message or other expression of interest does not automatically constitute confirmed enrolment.

Enrolment is subject to the applicable programme conditions, availability and verification of payment.

The Academy may confirm enrolment through its authorised communication channels.

Participants are responsible for providing accurate information necessary for enrolment and communication.

The Academy may decline a prospective enrolment for legitimate reasons, including programme capacity, suitability, eligibility or operational limitations, provided that it acts fairly and complies with applicable law.

The Academy does not currently provide a direct website checkout facility for programme enrolment.

Online payments shall be made only through payment links or bank and other financial details communicated by the authorised Aravind's Academy Finance Team.

Payment instructions may be communicated through official Academy communication channels.

Participants are advised to independently verify payment instructions through the Academy's official contact details before transferring funds.

The Academy shall not ask participants to disclose confidential banking passwords, card PINs or UPI PINs.

Payment made to an unauthorised person does not automatically constitute payment to the Academy. Any reported payment fraud, impersonation or dispute shall be examined according to the circumstances and applicable law.

Enrolment is confirmed only after successful payment verification and confirmation by the Academy.

The Academy may use authorised third-party payment service providers and financial institutions to process transactions.

8. Strict Non-Refundable Payment Policy

All programme fees are non-refundable as a general contractual condition of enrolment, except where a refund or other remedy is required under applicable law or expressly agreed by the Academy.

A request for individual consultation in a programme clearly offered as group-based.
A decision to discontinue participation for reasons unrelated to a failure by the Academy.

No money-back guarantee is offered based on programme outcomes or participant satisfaction.

However, the non-refundable policy does not override applicable statutory consumer rights.

Refunds or other appropriate remedies shall remain available where legally required, including circumstances involving material non-delivery, actionable deficiency in service, material misrepresentation, duplicate or excess payment, or cancellation by the Academy without an appropriate alternative or remedy.

Any dispute or refund request will be examined in accordance with applicable Indian law and the services actually agreed and delivered.

No provision of this policy shall be interpreted as allowing the Academy to retain payments unlawfully.

9. Programme Cancellation, Rescheduling and Modifications

The Academy may make reasonable changes to programme schedules, session timings, instructors, delivery platforms or administrative arrangements where operationally necessary.

Where changes materially affect the programme, participants shall be informed within a reasonable period.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, illness, emergencies, technical disruptions or events beyond reasonable control, sessions may be postponed or rescheduled.

The Academy shall take reasonable steps to provide the contracted services.

Any material reduction or cancellation of promised services shall be addressed through an appropriate remedy in accordance with applicable law.

The Academy does not guarantee that the original timetable will remain unchanged in every circumstance.

10. Attendance and Access

Participants are responsible for attending sessions at the communicated times and ensuring reasonable access to the required technology.

The Academy does not guarantee recordings of every live session.

Programme access may be limited to the specific duration or period communicated at enrolment.
