Terms & Conditions

1. About Champiads

Champiads is an education and skill-development brand operated by Sri Balaji Vocational Skill Development Academy, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. These terms apply to use of the Champiads website and the educational services, memberships, registrations, events and book purchases offered through it.

By registering or purchasing a service, you agree to the applicable terms, subject to consumer and other rights that cannot be excluded by law. Where a particular programme or product has additional published conditions, those conditions apply alongside these general terms.

2. Learning programmes and eligibility

Champiads offers or may offer education and skill-development programmes including Abacus, Vedic Mathematics, Phonics, Handwriting, Drawing, language learning, grade examinations, teacher development and other learning activities.

Programme availability, age groups, duration, fees, accreditation or approval status (where relevant), assessment requirements and schedules will be communicated for each programme. Participation does not automatically guarantee a qualification, certification or particular academic outcome.

3. Parents, guardians and school responsibilities

Registration of children must be authorised by a parent, legal guardian or appropriately authorised school. The responsible adult or institution must provide accurate information, obtain required permissions, follow the programme rules and safeguard students' login details and access codes.

Schools are responsible for ensuring that any student details, work or images they submit have been collected and shared with appropriate permission.

4. Registrations, assignments and competitions

Participants must follow the published deadlines, eligibility conditions, instructions and assessment criteria. Submitted work must be original or properly authorised. Impersonation, plagiarism, tampering with documents or submitting prohibited content may result in review or disqualification.

Where activities involve worksheets, barcodes, school uploads or individual submissions, participants and schools should keep copies until the relevant activity has been completed and acknowledged. Assessment, results, certificates, prizes and awards are subject to each event's published rules. Registration does not guarantee an award.

5. Champiads lifetime membership

Membership benefits and the one-time fee are described on the membership registration page at the point of purchase. “Lifetime membership” refers to the duration of the membership programme while it is offered and operated, subject to the applicable membership terms; it is not a promise that every feature, product, meeting or benefit will remain unchanged indefinitely.

Membership cards, numbers and related credentials are issued only after the applicable payment and membership checks are completed. Members must not misuse membership details or represent themselves as authorised to offer services beyond the rights actually granted by Champiads.

6. Books, learning materials and delivery

Descriptions, prices and availability of printed books or learning materials appear in the Book Store. An order is subject to availability and successful payment confirmation. We will contact the customer if an item cannot be supplied after payment.

Delivery addresses must be accurate and complete. Any delivery charges, estimated dispatch arrangements and limitations should be communicated before final order confirmation. Where the online checkout currently shows a zero delivery charge, that is the amount charged by that checkout; additional charges will not be imposed without the customer's agreement.

If there is a damaged, incorrect, missing or undelivered item, customers should contact us with the order reference and relevant details so that the issue can be assessed and resolved according to applicable consumer law.

7. Razorpay payments and invoices

Champiads may accept online payments through Razorpay. Payments are processed through the payment gateway and related banking services. Payment is treated as confirmed only after successful verification. A pending, failed or abandoned payment does not constitute a completed purchase.

Order confirmations, payment references and invoices or receipts may be made available through the website or by contacting support. Any tax invoice will reflect the applicable tax requirements and the details of the entity issuing it. Please check the payment amount, currency and purchase details before authorising payment.

8. Cancellations, refunds and failed payments

Eligibility for cancellation or refund depends on the product or programme, the stage of fulfilment and applicable consumer law. Any product-specific or programme-specific refund rules must be disclosed before purchase. Nothing here limits statutory rights.

For a duplicate charge, unsuccessful transaction showing a debit, book-delivery problem, cancelled activity or other payment dispute, please contact us with the order or payment reference. We will investigate and, where a refund is due, arrange it through an appropriate payment method. Bank or payment-provider processing times may apply.

Before taking new payments: publish the actual cancellation and refund timeframes for membership, programmes and physical books. This page does not invent a fixed refund period or promise that all membership fees are non-refundable.

9. Ownership and use of submitted work

Participants or other rightful owners retain ownership of their original work. By submitting work through Champiads, the authorised submitter permits its storage and internal use for programme administration, assessment, review and related records.

Public or promotional use of identifiable children's names, images, videos or work requires appropriate separate permission. Website content, branding, teaching materials and other protected materials may not be copied or commercially redistributed without permission or another lawful basis.

10. WhatsApp, email and notifications

Champiads may send administrative communications about enquiries, membership, registration, assignments, orders, events, certificates and support. WhatsApp Business messages will be sent in accordance with applicable permission requirements. Where optional promotional messages are offered, they will be handled separately as required.

You may request to stop optional WhatsApp messages by replying STOP or contacting us. For details about how personal information is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.

11. Privacy and children's information

We process personal information for appropriate administrative, educational, transactional and support purposes. Parents, guardians and schools should avoid submitting information about children unless required for the relevant service and appropriately authorised. See our Privacy Policy for further details and contact options.

12. Acceptable website use

Users must not attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the website, misuse access codes, upload malicious or unlawful content, impersonate others or misuse another person's information. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect users, services and records, subject to applicable rights.

13. Changes, availability and outcomes

We aim to make services available and communicate important changes, but cannot promise uninterrupted access. We may reasonably update programme content, schedules, features or these terms; material changes affecting existing paid registrations will be communicated where appropriate.

Educational progress depends on many factors. We do not guarantee examination results, awards, business income or particular outcomes from training or membership.

14. Complaints, rights and applicable law

Please contact Champiads first if you have a concern about an order, registration, payment, submission or programme. As a service operated from Chennai, the relevant laws of India may apply, alongside any mandatory rights or protections applicable to individual customers. Nothing in these terms removes statutory rights or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
