1. About these terms
These Terms of Use govern this website and the courses, learning materials, labs, assessments, credentials and related tools supplied under the Asian School of Cyber Laws brand. The services are operated by Alcertis Education Ventures Private Limited ("ASCL", "we", "us" or "our"), CIN U85500PN2024PTC234744, from Office No. 410, Supreme Headquarters, Supreme Universal, 36/2, Baner Gaon, Pune 411045, Maharashtra, India.
By using the website, making a payment or applying for or accessing a course, you agree to these terms, the course description displayed when you enrol, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy. If you do not agree, do not purchase or access the service.
2. Course information and enrolment
The applicable course page describes the course content, format, access period, fees, taxes, included tools, assessment requirements and certification criteria. Your enrolment is confirmed only after we receive and verify the required application information and payment. You must provide accurate, current and complete information and promptly correct any material error.
Course dates, access dates and time estimates are as stated on the relevant course page or in the confirmation sent to you. Time estimates are guidance and do not guarantee that every participant will complete the course within that period.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You are responsible for ensuring that the course is suitable for your needs and that your computer and internet connection meet the stated requirements. A participant under 18 must have the consent and supervision of a parent or lawful guardian.
Course access is personal to the enrolled participant. You must keep access credentials secure and must not share, sell, transfer or permit another person to use your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
4. Fees, taxes and payments
Fees and applicable taxes are displayed before payment. Indian fees may be subject to GST. International charges may be converted by your bank or payment provider, which may impose its own fees. Payments made through Razorpay or another identified provider are also subject to that provider's terms.
A payment acknowledgement does not by itself establish successful enrolment if the payment is reversed, disputed, fraudulent, incomplete or cannot be matched to the applicant. Contact us if a payment succeeds but confirmation is not received within the stated time.
5. Access and delivery
For electronic courses, access is supplied electronically to the email address or account associated with the enrolment. For any course that includes physical material, the applicable course description will state the delivery arrangement. You are responsible for providing accurate contact and delivery information.
We may use staged releases, maintenance windows and reasonable technical controls to protect course systems. We will take reasonable steps to restore access after an interruption but do not promise uninterrupted availability of internet-dependent or third-party services.
6. Licence and intellectual property
ASCL and its licensors retain all rights in the website, course content, videos, text, diagrams, data sets, evidence packs, labs, software, prompts, checklists, templates, assessment material, trademarks and other resources. On confirmed enrolment, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the supplied material for your own learning during the stated access period. Where a course page expressly promises lifetime access to specified downloadable tools or materials, that licence continues for the advertised lifetime-access period, subject to these terms.
You must not copy, publish, upload, sell, sublicense, distribute, translate, adapt, reverse engineer, scrape, record or make course materials available to another person except to the limited extent expressly permitted in writing or required by law. You retain ownership of original work you create, while granting us permission to review, store and use submissions as necessary to teach, assess, provide feedback, prevent misconduct and administer certification.
7. Authorised and ethical use
Cybersecurity and investigation techniques must be used only in ASCL-provided environments or systems for which you have clear, lawful authorisation. You must not use the course, labs or tools to:
- access, test, monitor, disrupt or interfere with a system, account or network without authorisation;
- deploy malware, steal credentials or data, evade lawful controls, commit fraud or facilitate unlawful activity;
- upload live-case evidence, personal data, confidential information or privileged material without authority and an appropriate lawful basis;
- harass another person, impersonate someone or misrepresent findings or qualifications; or
- circumvent access limits, token limits, assessment controls or technical safeguards.
You remain responsible for how you use what you learn. Course participation does not confer authority to investigate, access or interfere with any third-party system.
8. Automated tools
AI-generated and automated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for a particular matter. They are learning and productivity aids, not substitutes for professional judgment, legal advice, forensic verification or evidentiary validation. You must review important outputs and remain responsible for decisions, reports and actions based on them.
Included token allowances and their validity are stated on the course page. Additional use may require a separate purchase. Misuse, attempts to defeat safeguards or use that creates risk to ASCL or others may result in restriction or suspension.
9. Assessments and credentials
A certificate or professional credential is awarded only when the stated requirements and assessment standard are met. Submitted work must be your own except where collaboration or use of a tool is expressly permitted. We may investigate plagiarism, impersonation, fabricated evidence, unauthorised assistance or other assessment misconduct.
A credential confirms successful completion against ASCL's course requirements; it is not a government licence, statutory authorisation, employment guarantee or assurance of any particular professional outcome.
10. Changes to courses
We may make reasonable changes to content, tools, instructors, examples, sequencing or delivery methods to correct errors, address security risks, reflect changes in technology or law, or improve the course. We will not materially reduce the core purchased service without offering an appropriate remedy under applicable law.
11. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of non-payment, credential sharing, assessment misconduct, unlawful or unsafe activity, material breach of these terms, a security threat or a binding legal requirement. Where appropriate, we will give notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the breach. Serious illegality, fraud or immediate security risk may require action without prior notice.
Termination does not affect rights and obligations that accrued earlier. Provisions concerning intellectual property, authorised use, payment, liability, disputes and records continue where their nature requires.
12. Third-party services and links
The website and courses may refer or link to third-party platforms, open-source tools, cloud services, data sources or websites. Their availability, content and practices are controlled by their operators. Unless expressly stated, a reference is not an endorsement or a promise that a third-party service will remain available. Your use of it may be governed by separate terms.
13. Disclaimers and responsibility
We will provide the purchased services with reasonable care and skill. Educational content is general and cannot address every factual, legal, technical or operational circumstance. We do not guarantee employment, income, examination success, recovery of assets, prevention of incidents or any other particular outcome.
To the extent permitted by law, ASCL is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on educational material, unauthorised use of course techniques, third-party services, or events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms excludes a right, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer rights.
14. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. You must respect the privacy, confidentiality and intellectual-property rights of other participants and third parties.
15. Complaints
Send complaints to info@asianlaws.org with enough information for us to identify the transaction and issue. Our grievance officer will acknowledge a consumer complaint within 48 hours and resolve it within one month, as required by applicable law.
Grievance Officer: Shuchi Nagpal, Grievance Officer, Asian School of Cyber Laws. Phone: +91 7798456306.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any forum or remedy available to a consumer under mandatory law, courts at Pune, Maharashtra will have jurisdiction. Before commencing proceedings, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through the grievance process.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms prospectively when our services or legal obligations change. The version accepted at enrolment continues to govern that purchase unless a change is required by law, relates to security or is expressly accepted by you. The current version and its update date will remain available on this page.
