The rules of the road

By accessing our website, contacting our team, signing an engagement letter for our programmes, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the website or our services.

• “Services” means our programmes — the Science Studio, the Foundation Program, Lab-in-a-Class, and any related advisory or training services.
• “School” means an educational institution that contracts with us to deliver Services on its campus.
• “User” means any visitor to our website or recipient of our Services.
• “Content” means all material published on the website or delivered as part of our Services.

We design and deliver experiential science education through our programmes. The exact scope, deliverables, schedule, instructor allocation, equipment list, and fees for each engagement are recorded in a separate written agreement (a Statement of Work, or engagement letter) between Jigyasu and the School.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the specific written agreement for an engagement, the engagement agreement governs.

To engage Jigyasu's Services on behalf of an institution, you must be authorised to bind that institution to a contract. By doing so, you represent that you have such authority.

If you create an account with Jigyasu, you agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and accept responsibility for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at info@jigyasu.co.in if you suspect unauthorised use.

School engagements typically commence with a discovery call, on-site walkthrough, and a written proposal. Once the proposal is accepted and the engagement letter signed, equipment installation, teacher training or instructor on-boarding, and programme delivery are scheduled per the agreed timeline.

Indicative figures shown on this website (investment ranges, revenue projections, payback periods, package fees) are illustrative and are not commercial offers. Final terms are confirmed in writing.

All fees for Services are set out in the relevant engagement agreement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of GST and other applicable taxes, which will be invoiced at the prevailing rates in addition to the stated fees.

Invoices are payable as per the schedule in the engagement agreement. Late payments may attract interest at the rate specified in the agreement (or, if not specified, at 1.5% per month) and may result in suspension of Services.

All payments are to be made in Indian Rupees to the bank account designated by Jigyasu. Bank charges, payment-gateway fees, and currency-conversion costs (where applicable) are to be borne by the payer.

Cancellation rights, notice periods, and refund eligibility are governed by the specific engagement agreement. As a general rule:

• One-time onboarding, equipment, and setup fees are non-refundable once incurred.
• Recurring service fees (per-student, per-term, or annual) may be refunded on a pro-rata basis for the unused portion, subject to a notice period agreed in writing.
• Workshop and event bookings cancelled less than 14 days before the scheduled date may not be eligible for a refund.

Refund requests should be sent to info@jigyasu.co.in with the engagement reference. Approved refunds are processed within 30 working days.

You agree not to use our website or Services to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any party.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute viruses, malware, or harmful code.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, networks, or accounts.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or otherwise extract data or content beyond what is reasonably permitted.
• Misrepresent your affiliation with any school, organisation, or person.
• Impersonate Jigyasu, the Jigyasu brand, or any of its representatives.

All Content — including the Jigyasu name and logo, programme names, curriculum frameworks, activity designs, instructor protocols, training materials, photography, videos, and written copy — is owned by Dasco Education Pvt. Ltd. or its licensors and is protected by Indian and international intellectual property laws.

We grant Schools and Partners a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Content solely for the purpose and duration of their engagement. You may not copy, adapt, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the Content without our prior written consent.

Suggestions, feedback, or ideas you provide to us about our Services may be used by Jigyasu without obligation or compensation.

Each party agrees to keep confidential information received from the other party in connection with an engagement private, and to use such information only for the purposes of performing the engagement.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. These obligations survive the termination of any engagement.

Our website and Services may integrate with or link to third-party platforms — including payment gateways, analytics providers, communication tools, and reference resources. Your use of these third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third parties.

The website and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

We do not warrant any specific learning outcome, examination result, business return, or commercial success arising from the use of our Services. See our Disclaimer for further detail.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Dasco Education Pvt. Ltd., its directors, officers, employees, and partners arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any engagement shall not exceed the fees actually paid by you to Jigyasu in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, business interruption, loss of goodwill, or loss of data — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dasco Education Pvt. Ltd. and its representatives from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website or Services, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the website or Services, in whole or in part, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, the engagement agreement, or applicable law, or if continued provision would expose us to legal or reputational risk.

Termination of an engagement does not affect any rights and obligations that have accrued prior to termination, nor any provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination — including intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law.

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control — including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, government actions, civil unrest, strikes, utility outages, or telecommunications failures.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith discussion. If unresolved within 30 days, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration by a sole arbitrator appointed by mutual consent, conducted in Bhubaneswar in English, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Subject to the arbitration clause, the courts at Bhubaneswar, Odisha shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising from or in connection with these Terms.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website or Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

For active engagements, material changes will be communicated in writing and the existing engagement agreement will continue to govern unless amended by mutual consent.
