Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website admitvista.com (the "Website") and the admissions consulting services offered by AdmitVista Education Pvt. Ltd. (referred to as "AdmitVista", "we", "us", or "our"). By using the Website or engaging our services, you ("you", "Client" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. About Our Services
AdmitVista provides educational counselling and admissions advisory services for higher education in India and abroad, including but not limited to: profile evaluation, university shortlisting, application drafting and review, scholarship guidance, visa support, and pre-departure briefing. The specific scope of services for any engagement is defined in a written package or service agreement signed by both parties.
We are an advisory service. We do not represent or act as agents of any university, college, or government authority. Admission decisions, visa decisions and scholarship awards are made solely by the respective institutions and authorities. AdmitVista does not and cannot guarantee any specific outcome.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years of age, or have the consent and active involvement of a parent or legal guardian, to engage our services. By using our services, you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is true, accurate, and complete.
3. Booking and Engagement
An engagement begins when (a) the Client signs a service agreement or accepts a written package proposal in writing or by email, and (b) the relevant fee or instalment is received by AdmitVista. Until both conditions are met, no obligation arises on the part of either party.
Free 30-minute initial consultations are offered on a no-obligation basis and do not, by themselves, constitute a service engagement.
4. Fees, Packages and Payment
Fees for our services are set out in the relevant package proposal. All fees are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) unless otherwise stated and are exclusive of applicable taxes (GST), which will be charged additionally where required by law.
Where instalments are agreed, each instalment is due on the date specified in the package proposal. Failure to make a scheduled payment may result in suspension of services until the outstanding amount is cleared.
Third-party fees — including but not limited to university application fees, test registration fees, visa fees, courier charges, document attestation fees and travel costs — are not included in our service fees and are payable directly by the Client to the relevant party.
5. Refund & Cancellation Policy
We are committed to fair refund practices. The following refund schedule applies, calculated from the date the service agreement is signed and the first instalment is received:
- Within 7 days of engagement (cooling-off period) — provided no substantial deliverables (university shortlist, drafted essays, application submissions) have been provided, the Client is entitled to a refund of the amount paid, less an administrative charge of ten percent (10%) of the total package fee.
- After 7 days, before profile evaluation is delivered — refund of fifty percent (50%) of the amount paid.
- After profile evaluation but before any application is submitted — refund of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount paid.
- After any application has been submitted on the Client's behalf, or after substantial deliverables have been provided — no refund will be issued.
Third-party fees paid by AdmitVista on the Client's behalf (university application fees, test fees, visa fees, etc.) are non-refundable in all cases, as these payments are made to and retained by third parties.
Refund requests must be made in writing to info@admitvista.com. Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within fifteen (15) business days of approval.
No refund will be issued for outcomes outside our control, including but not limited to: rejection by a university, denial of a visa, denial of a scholarship, change in immigration policy, change in Client's plans, or failure of the Client to meet deadlines, requirements, or test scores.
6. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate, truthful and complete information at all times.
- Submit required documents and respond to counsellor communications within the timelines reasonably requested.
- Review all drafts, applications and submissions before final submission and approve them in writing.
- Pay all third-party fees directly to the third party concerned.
- Comply with the rules and policies of any university, government, or test-conducting authority.
AdmitVista is not liable for any consequences arising from inaccurate information, missed deadlines or non-compliance attributable to the Client.
7. Confidentiality
AdmitVista will treat all personal and academic information shared by the Client as confidential and will not disclose it to any third party without the Client's consent, except where (a) disclosure is required to perform the services (e.g. submitting an application to a university), or (b) disclosure is required by law.
