TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Fees and Advance Payment

Our fees apply to all one-to-one tutoring courses offered by Mindhacks Institute of Excellence.


The fee for the selected course package or block of sessions must be paid in full and in advance. Payment on a per-session basis or after a session has been conducted will not be accepted.

Sessions will be scheduled or continued only after the complete applicable payment has been received.

GST and Overseas Payments

Payments for Domestic Services


Where the tutoring service is treated as a taxable domestic supply, payments made in Indian Rupees will be subject to 18% GST, charged in addition to the stated course fee.


Payments from Overseas Clients


Payments received from eligible overseas clients in their local foreign currency, or in Indian Rupees through an eligible NRE account or another payment route permitted by the Reserve Bank of India, may be invoiced without GST where the transaction qualifies as an export of services or another zero-rated supply under applicable Indian GST laws.


Payment through an NRE account or in a foreign currency will not, by itself, guarantee exemption from GST. The applicable tax treatment will depend on the location of the student or recipient, the place of supply, the method and source of payment, and all other requirements prescribed under prevailing Indian tax laws.

Mindhacks Institute of Excellence may request proof of overseas residence, remittance documents, bank records, billing details, or any other information required to determine the correct GST treatment.


Where a payment or service does not satisfy the applicable requirements for zero-rated treatment, the relevant GST will be payable in addition to the course fee.

Transfer and Processing Charges

All bank charges, international transfer fees, correspondent-bank charges, payment-gateway fees, currency-conversion charges, and any other transaction-related costs must be borne by the student, parent, guardian, or payer.

Mindhacks Institute of Excellence must receive the full invoiced amount without any deductions.


If any charge is deducted during the transfer process, the payer must pay the resulting shortfall before the sessions can be scheduled or continued.

Scheduling

Sessions will be scheduled according to the mutual availability of the tutor and the student.


The date and time confirmed through the Mindhacks portal or another authorised Mindhacks communication channel will be considered final unless a revised schedule is subsequently confirmed.


All scheduling, cancellation, and rescheduling requests must be communicated through an authorised Mindhacks channel..

Session Format and Recording

Each session will consist of a 55-minute, one-to-one online class conducted through Zoom on the Mindhacks portal.


Sessions will be recorded for academic, monitoring, training, safeguarding, and quality-assurance purposes. Meeting notes or session summaries will be shared with the student and their parent or guardian, wherever applicable.


By enrolling in the course or attending a session, the student and their parent or guardian consent to the recording of the sessions for these purposes.

Refund Policy

All fees paid to Mindhacks Institute of Excellence are non-refundable.

An exception may be made where Mindhacks or the assigned tutor cancels a session and is unable to offer a suitable replacement session, or where an alternative arrangement has been expressly agreed upon in writing.


A session rescheduled by the tutor will not be deducted from the student’s remaining session balance until the replacement session has been conducted.
