1. INTRODUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between OREAL LLP, a limited liability partnership constituted under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 (LLPIN: ACZ-4869), having its registered office at 5th Floor, Plot No. A-35, Sector-136, Noida, Uttar Pradesh - 201304, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") and any person who accesses the website www.orealworld.com, its sub-domains, allied mobile/web applications, or offline centres of the Company (collectively, the "Platform"), or who enquires about, registers for, or enrols in any programme relating to Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality ("AVGC-XR") or allied disciplines offered by the Company (collectively, the "Services") (each, a "User", "Student", or "you").

By accessing the Platform, submitting an enquiry, signing an admission/enrolment form, or making any payment towards the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with the Company's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must refrain from accessing the Platform or availing the Services. The Company's Courses and Services are open to applicants of all age groups, including minors, and are not restricted to persons who have attained the age of majority. Where a User is a minor, these Terms are additionally deemed accepted by, and binding upon, the parent or lawful guardian who executes the admission/enrolment form on the minor's behalf, in the manner further set out in Clause 3 below.

These Terms constitute an electronic record within the meaning of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and are published in accordance with the provisions of Rule 3 of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, to the extent applicable, and do not require any physical or digital signature.

2. DEFINITIONS

"Course" or "Programme" means any diploma, certificate, workshop, short-term, or long-term training programme in AVGC-XR or allied disciplines offered by the Company, whether delivered in classroom mode, online mode, or a blended/hybrid mode.

"Enrolment Agreement" means the admission form, fee structure document, and any annexures thereto executed (physically or digitally) by a Student, or by the parent/lawful guardian of a minor Student, at the time of admission.

"Content" means all course material, lecture recordings, presentations, software, project files, assessments, and any other material made available to Students as part of the Services.

"Intellectual Property Rights" means all copyrights, trademarks, trade names, patents, designs, trade secrets, and any other proprietary or intellectual property rights, whether registered or unregistered, anywhere in the world.

"Force Majeure Event" shall have the meaning ascribed in Clause 15.

3. ELIGIBILITY

The Services are available to individuals who meet the minimum eligibility criteria (academic and age-related) prescribed for the relevant Course, as published on the Platform or communicated by the Company's counselling team from time to time. The Company does not restrict eligibility to individuals who have attained the age of majority; minors are welcomed to enquire about, and to enrol in, any Course for which they meet the prescribed academic and age-related criteria, subject to the following.

Where a Student is a minor, admission shall be processed only upon the Enrolment Agreement being duly executed and counter-signed by the Student's parent or lawful guardian. For all purposes of these Terms, including payment of fees and compliance with the Student Code of Conduct under Clause 8, the parent/lawful guardian executing the Enrolment Agreement shall be treated as the contracting party on behalf of the minor Student and shall be solely responsible and liable for all obligations arising under these Terms and the Enrolment Agreement. Nothing in these Terms is intended to, or shall be construed to, impose independent contractual liability on a minor Student, it being acknowledged that an agreement entered into with a minor is not enforceable against the minor under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

The Company reserves the right to verify the eligibility documents submitted by an applicant (or, in the case of a minor, by the parent/guardian) and to refuse, defer, or cancel admission where such documents are found to be incomplete, incorrect, or falsified, without any liability towards the applicant beyond refund of fees actually paid, subject to Clause 7 (Fees, Payment, and Refund Policy).

4. NATURE OF SERVICES

The Company is engaged in providing skill-based education and training in AVGC-XR disciplines, including but not limited to 2D/3D animation, visual effects (VFX), game design and development, comic and concept art, and extended reality (AR/VR/MR) technologies, through classroom-based, online, or blended learning formats, along with allied services such as portfolio development, industry mentorship, and placement assistance, as more particularly described on the Platform or in the relevant Course brochure. The Company reserves the right to modify, discontinue, or introduce new Courses, faculty, curriculum, software tools, or delivery formats at its sole discretion, with reasonable prior notice to enrolled Students, provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such modification does not materially prejudice a Student's ability to complete an ongoing Course.

5. REGISTRATION, ADMISSION, AND ACCOUNT OBLIGATIONS

Where the Platform requires creation of a User account or student login for access to online learning tools:

  • You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at the time of registration and to promptly update the same in the event of any change;
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account;
  • You agree to immediately notify the Company of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security;
  • The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the foregoing obligations.

Admission to any Course shall be confirmed only upon (a) submission of the duly completed Enrolment Agreement; (b) submission of requisite eligibility and identity documents; and (c) payment of the registration/admission fee or first instalment of course fees, as applicable, in accordance with Clause 7 below.

6. FEES, PAYMENT TERMS, AND REFUND POLICY

6.1 Fees

Course fees, applicable taxes, and payment schedules shall be as specified in the fee structure communicated to the Student at the time of counselling/admission and recorded in the Enrolment Agreement. Fees may be paid online through the payment gateway integrated on the Platform, or offline at the Company's authorised centres, through modes such as UPI, debit/credit card, net-banking, demand draft, or cheque, as made available from time to time.

6.2 Installments and Late Payment

Where the Company permits payment of fees in instalments, the Student (or, in the case of a minor, the parent/guardian) shall be solely responsible for ensuring timely payment of each instalment on or before its due date. Failure to pay any instalment within the stipulated period may, at the Company's discretion, result in late payment charges, suspension of access to Content and classes, or withholding of examination results/certificates, until such outstanding amount is cleared.

6.3 Refund Policy

Refund of fees, if any, shall be governed strictly by the refund schedule specified in the Enrolment Agreement/fee structure document applicable at the time of admission. As a general position, and unless a more specific schedule is provided in the Enrolment Agreement, the following shall apply:

  • The registration/admission fee is non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances;
  • Requests for withdrawal made prior to commencement of classes may be eligible for a partial refund of course fees paid, after deduction of the registration fee and applicable administrative charges;
  • No refund shall be payable once a specified proportion of classes/sessions (as stated in the fee structure) has commenced or elapsed, or once Content/course material has been accessed or downloaded;
  • No refund shall be payable where the Student has attended one or more trial, demo, or orientation class(es) forming part of the Course, whether conducted online or offline, it being agreed that attendance of any such trial class constitutes acceptance of the Course content and teaching methodology and results in forfeiture of the right to a refund;
  • No refund shall be payable, and the Company may terminate the Student's enrolment forthwith without any liability, where a Student is found to have recorded, copied, downloaded, or shared any online class in breach of Clause 8 (Student Code of Conduct);
  • All eligible refunds shall be processed within a reasonable time, and in any event within forty-five (45) days of approval of the refund request, to the original mode of payment, subject to applicable bank/payment gateway processing timelines;
  • The Company reserves the right to deduct applicable payment gateway charges, if any, from the refundable amount.

6.4 Taxes

All fees are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and any other applicable statutory levy, unless expressly stated otherwise, and such taxes shall be payable by the Student in addition to the quoted fee.

7. COURSE CONTENT, ACCESS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All Content, including recorded lectures, presentation decks, project briefs, software licences, and any proprietary teaching methodology developed by the Company, is provided to Students solely for personal, noncommercial, educational use in connection with the relevant Course. The Company (or its licensors) retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Content, the Platform, the "Oreal" name, logo, and all associated trademarks. No right, title, or interest in the Content or the Company's Intellectual Property Rights is transferred to the Student by virtue of enrolment.

Students shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, sub-license, sell, or create derivative works from the Content, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written consent, save for retaining a personal portfolio copy of the Student's own original coursework/assignments completed during the Course, which shall vest with the Student, subject to the Company's right to showcase such coursework for promotional purposes with the Student's consent and due credit.

Software provided or recommended for use during the Course (whether proprietary to the Company or thirdparty licensed software such as industry-standard animation, VFX, or game engine tools) shall be used strictly in accordance with the applicable end-user licence agreement of such software, and the Company makes no warranty with respect to third-party software beyond making it available for educational use where licensed to do so.

8. STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

Every Student agrees to:

  • Attend classes/sessions regularly and maintain the minimum attendance prescribed for the Course;
  • Conduct themselves with courtesy and professionalism towards faculty, staff, and fellow Students, and refrain from any act of harassment, ragging, discrimination, or misconduct;
  • Refrain from any act of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, use of unauthorised material during assessments, or impersonation;
  • Not use the Platform or Services for any unlawful purpose, or to transmit any material that is defamatory, obscene, infringing, or otherwise objectionable;
  • Comply with the code of conduct, attendance policy, and examination rules displayed at the relevant centre or Platform, as amended from time to time;
  • Not record, screen-capture, screenshot, download, live-stream, re-transmit, or otherwise reproduce, in whole or in part, any online class, lecture, or session conducted by or on behalf of the Company, through any device, application, or software, without the Company's prior written consent.

Online classes are conducted solely for the exclusive, personal, and non-commercial educational use of enrolled Students, and no Student is permitted to record, capture, or otherwise reproduce any live or recorded online class session by any means whatsoever. Where any such recording is made in breach of this Clause, it shall not be shared, distributed, uploaded, sold, or displayed on any platform or to any third party under any circumstances. Any breach of this provision shall be treated as a material breach of the Student Code of Conduct, entitling the Company to immediately suspend or terminate the Student's enrolment under Clause 14 without refund of fees (save as provided in Clause 6.3), without prejudice to the Company's right to seek injunctive relief and damages for infringement of its Intellectual Property Rights under Clause 7.

The Company reserves the right, upon reasonable investigation, to suspend or terminate the enrolment of any Student found in breach of this Clause, without any obligation to refund fees paid, save as may be required under Clause 6.3 or applicable law.

9. CERTIFICATION AND PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE

Certificates shall be issued only upon a Student satisfying the attendance, assessment, and fee-payment requirements prescribed for the relevant Course. Certificates issued by the Company reflect completion of training under the Company's own curriculum and do not constitute a degree, diploma, or qualification recognised by any statutory university or government body unless expressly stated to be affiliated/accredited on the Platform.

Where the Company offers placement assistance, the same is provided on a best-effort basis only, by way of sharing Student profiles/portfolios with prospective employers and facilitating interview opportunities. The Company does not guarantee employment, a minimum salary, or a specific number of interview opportunities to any Student, and shall not be liable for any act, omission, employment decision, or offer (or withdrawal thereof) made by any prospective employer or industry partner.

10. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

The Platform may contain links to, or integrate with, third-party websites, software vendors, payment gateways, or placement partners not owned or controlled by the Company. The Company does not endorse and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any such third party, and your interaction with any such third party is solely at your own risk and subject to that third party's own terms and policies.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT COMPLETION OF ANY COURSE WILL RESULT IN ANY PARTICULAR CAREER OUTCOME, CERTIFICATION RECOGNITION, OR SKILL LEVEL, SAVE AS EXPRESSLY REPRESENTED IN THE RELEVANT COURSE BROCHURE.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY, ITS PARTNERS, DESIGNATED PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND FACULTY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL COURSE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY THE STUDENT FOR THE SPECIFIC COURSE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS CLAUSE SHALL LIMIT LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILFUL MISCONDUCT, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

13. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its partners, designated partners, employees, faculty, and authorised representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right, including Intellectual Property Rights; or (c) any misrepresentation made by you in connection with your admission or use of the Services. Where the Student is a minor, this indemnity shall be given by, and be binding upon, the parent/lawful guardian who executed the Enrolment Agreement on the minor's behalf.

14. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

The Company may suspend or terminate a Student's access to the Platform or Services, with or without prior notice, in the event of: (a) non-payment of fees in accordance with Clause 6; (b) breach of the Student Code of Conduct under Clause 8; (c) provision of false or misleading information at the time of admission; or (d) any conduct that the Company reasonably determines to be harmful to the Company, its faculty, staff, or other Students. Termination for cause under this Clause shall not entitle the Student to any refund of fees, save as may be mandated under Clause 6.3 or applicable law. A Student (or, in the case of a minor, the parent/guardian) may voluntarily discontinue a Course by providing written notice to the Company, subject to the refund provisions of Clause 6.3.

15. FORCE MAJEURE

The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations under these Terms where such delay or failure arises from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disaster, pandemic or epidemic, fire, flood, war, civil unrest, strikes, governmental orders or restrictions, internet or telecommunication failures, or any other event of force majeure ("Force Majeure Event"). In such event, the Company may, at its discretion, suspend, reschedule, or shift the mode of delivery of the affected Course (including to an online/blended format), and shall use reasonable efforts to resume normal delivery of Services as soon as reasonably practicable.

16. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE PLATFORM

The trademark "Oreal", associated logos, the design and layout of the Platform, and all content published on the Platform (other than User-submitted content) are the exclusive property of the Company or its licensors and are protected under applicable Indian and international intellectual property laws. No part of the Platform may be reproduced, republished, or exploited for any commercial purpose without the Company's prior written consent.

17. CONFIDENTIALITY

Any proprietary teaching material, internal assessment criteria, or business information shared by the Company with a Student in confidence shall not be disclosed by the Student to any third party without the Company's prior written consent, and shall be used solely for the Student's own educational purposes in connection with the Course.

18. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to Clause 18.2 below, the courts at Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Enrolment Agreement, or the Services, to the exclusion of all other courts.

The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute amicably through good-faith negotiation. If such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of written notice by either party, the dispute may, at the option of either party, be referred to arbitration by a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties, in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, as amended. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, and the language of arbitration shall be English. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, subject to the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict or deprive a Student who qualifies as a "consumer" under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 of the right to approach the appropriate consumer forum, commission, or authority constituted thereunder, and the arbitration agreement contained in this Clause shall operate without prejudice to such statutory rights, to the extent such rights cannot lawfully be excluded by agreement.

19. AMENDMENTS TO THESE TERMS

The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or update these Terms at any time, at its sole discretion, to reflect changes in its Services, business practices, or applicable law. Material changes shall be notified to enrolled Students through the Platform, registered e-mail, or other reasonable means, and shall take effect prospectively from the date of such notification, save that no amendment shall retrospectively curtail a Student's accrued rights (such as an already-approved refund) under an Enrolment Agreement entered into prior to such amendment. Continued use of the Platform or Services after such notification constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.

20. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original commercial intent of the parties.

21. WAIVER

No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any further exercise of that or any other right, power, or remedy.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, read together with the Privacy Policy and the applicable Enrolment Agreement/fee structure document, constitute the entire agreement between the Student and the Company with respect to the subject matter herein, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, and agreements, whether oral or written, save that in the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specifically negotiated clause of an Enrolment Agreement signed by both parties, the latter shall prevail solely to the extent of such conflict.

23. NOTICES

Any notice required to be given under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served if delivered by hand, sent by registered post/courier, or sent by e-mail to the addresses provided by the Student (or parent/guardian, in the case of a minor Student) at the time of admission, or to the Company at the address specified in Clause 24 below.
