Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: November 9, 2026 · Vinthra Technologies

1. Legal Agreement & Acceptance

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding electronic agreement executed between you ("User", "Student", or "Institution") and Vinthra Technologies ("Vinthra", "we", "us", or "our") pursuant to the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

By registering on the platform, purchasing access to a project sprint, participating in mentorship sessions, or signing an institutional memorandum, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age (or have valid guardian consent) and possess the legal capacity to enter into this contract.

2. Scope of Services

Vinthra provides technical career development infrastructure, including:

  • Capstone & Final-Year Project Guidance: Domain scoping (AI, ML, Data Science, Full-Stack, DevOps), architecture sign-off, Git repo guidance, and viva presentation rehearsal.
  • Direct Tech Mentorship: Scheduled 1:1 and small-group architectural reviews with working software engineers.
  • Campus Programs & Hackathons: Turnkey institutional bootcamps, automated judging pipelines, and faculty development workshops.
  • Verifiable Proof of Work: Cryptographically shareable digital completion credentials and viva-ready repository portfolios.

3. Direct Paid Programs & Payment Terms

Certain programs and capstone tracks require payment of a fixed enrollment fee:

  • Pricing & Taxes: Applicable fees for mentorship tracks are clearly published at the time of intake. All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) and are subject to statutory Goods and Services Tax (GST) as applicable.
  • Payment Processing: Payments must be fulfilled through authorized electronic methods (UPI, Net Banking, Credit/Debit cards). Fees are deemed paid once confirmed by our integrated payment gateway.
  • Batch Deferral: Requests to defer participation to a subsequent cohort must be submitted in writing to contact@vinthra.com at least 3 business days prior to cohort kickoff. A maximum of one deferral per enrollment is permitted.

4. Milestone-Based Cancellation & Refund Policy

To balance student flexibility with the direct booking of dedicated industry engineers, refunds are governed by the following milestone schedule:

  • Phase 1 — Prior to Mentor Allocation (100% Refund): If a written cancellation request is received within 48 hours of payment and before a dedicated mentor has scoped the architecture, a full refund (less actual third-party payment gateway transaction processing fees, typically 2–3%) will be issued.
  • Phase 2 — Post-Allocation / Architecture Stage (50% Refund): If cancellation is requested after mentor pairing and architecture scoping, but prior to the commencement of Sprint 2 check-ins, a 50% pro-rated refund will be granted.
  • Phase 3 — Active Sprints & Code Review (Non-Refundable): Once active weekly development sprints, code reviews, and viva documentation preparation have commenced, fees are strictly non-refundable due to the irreversible commitment of instructional resources and mentor time.
  • Dispute Notice: Prior to lodging a payment dispute or chargeback with your issuing bank, you agree to notify us in writing at contact@vinthra.com to facilitate an amicable resolution.

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment source within 7–10 Indian banking business days.

5. Academic Integrity & Code Authenticity

Vinthra is designed to build hire-ready engineers, not tutorial consumers. Students expressly agree to:

  • Maintain authentic, verifiable personal Git commit histories representing their own work.
  • Never submit plagiarized software, purchased academic projects, or unauthorized commercial codebases.
  • Accurately represent their project during university vivas and professional job interviews.

Any discovered breach of academic integrity or submission of counterfeit deliverables will result in immediate termination of mentorship access, revocation of digital certificates, and notice to the affiliated institution without entitlement to any refund.

6. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights

Student Project Code: Students retain 100% intellectual property ownership of the original software, algorithms, and application code authored by them during capstone sprints.

Vinthra Curriculum & Platform IP: Vinthra retains all proprietary rights, copyright, and trademarks in its website, pedagogical structures, sprint documentation templates, brand marks, and mentor training modules. Users may not record, redistribute, or commercially exploit session materials without prior written consent.

7. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers

Vinthra provides mentorship, viva defense coaching, and engineering preparation. However:

  • Final semester project marks, academic evaluations, viva scores, and university degree conferrals remain under the exclusive authority of the student's academic institution.
  • While Vinthra accelerates employability, enrollment does not constitute a legal guarantee of corporate placement or third-party employment offers.
  • To the fullest extent permitted by Indian law, Vinthra's aggregate financial liability arising out of any enrollment or service shall not exceed the total fee actually paid by the student for that specific program.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be interpreted, governed, and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India. Any legal dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved first through good-faith mutual consultation. If unresolved within 30 days, it shall be referred to arbitration in India in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and courts of competent jurisdiction in India shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
