By creating an account, enrolling in a course, or using any part of the Designers Academy platform at designers.ac, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our platform.
These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Designers Academy Pvt. Ltd. ("Designers Academy", "we", "us") with respect to your use of the platform.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. By using the platform, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the authority to accept these terms. Accounts may not be shared or transferred.
3.1 Batch-based learning
Designers Academy offers courses in fixed batches with scheduled live sessions. Enrollment in a batch confirms your participation for the full course duration. Batch schedules, session timings, and formats are communicated at the time of enrollment and may be adjusted by up to 48 hours in the event of educator unavailability or force majeure.
3.2 Access
Upon enrollment, you receive access to course materials, live sessions, recordings, and the community associated with your batch. Access to recordings and materials remains available for 6 months after your batch ends, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase.
3.3 Certificates
Completion certificates are issued upon meeting attendance and assignment requirements as specified for each course. Certificates are digital and downloadable from your dashboard.
All prices are listed in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes. Full payment is required to confirm your enrollment unless an installment plan has been explicitly offered and agreed upon in writing. We accept payments via the methods listed at checkout.
In the event of a payment failure, your enrollment will not be confirmed. Receipts and invoices are generated automatically and available in your account dashboard.
5.1 Cancellation before batch start
If you cancel your enrollment 7 or more days before the batch start date, you are eligible for a full refund of the course fee. Cancellations made 3–6 days before the batch start date are eligible for a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 3 days before the batch start date are not eligible for a refund.
5.2 After batch has started
Once a batch has commenced, no refunds will be issued. If you are unable to continue due to a medical emergency or other extenuating circumstances, you may apply for a batch transfer (see Section 5.4) instead.
5.3 Cancellation by Designers Academy
In the rare event that Designers Academy cancels a batch, you will receive a full refund within 7 working days, or the option to transfer to the next available batch at no additional cost.
5.4 Batch transfers
You may request a one-time transfer to a future batch of the same course, subject to availability, provided the request is made at least 48 hours before your current batch starts. Batch transfers do not attract additional fees.
5.5 How to request a refund
To request a refund or batch transfer, contact us through the Contact page with your enrollment ID. Approved refunds are processed within 7–10 working days to the original payment method.
You agree to use the platform in a respectful and lawful manner. The following are strictly prohibited:
