Course Enrollment and Lifetime Access (Membership)
When you enroll in a course, you get a license from us to view it via the SBF Services and no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell courses in any way. We grant you a limited lifetime access license, except when we must disable the course because of legal or policy reasons.
Under our Student Agreement, when instructors publish a course on SBF, they grant SBF a license to offer a license to the course to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the course to the students who enroll in the course. As a student, when you enroll in a course, whether it’s a free or paid course, you are getting a license from SBF to view the course via the SBF platform and Services, and SBF is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the course in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the course and sharing it on torrent sites).
In legal, more complete terms, SBF grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and associated content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with a particular courses or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any course unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a SBF authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.
We generally give a limited lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use courses at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a course due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine its content violates our Terms & Conditiions. The lifetime access is not applicable to add-on features and services associated with a course. For example, translation captions of courses may be disabled by instructors at any time, and instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with a course. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.
Instructors may not grant licenses to their courses to students directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and a violation of these Terms.
ONLINE PAYMENT TERMS
The following section states the Terms and Conditions which will be applicable to the user using the Company’s online payment process for various courses/services offered by Us. Please read this page carefully. If these Terms & Conditions are not acceptable to You, please do not use this process. By using Company’s online payment process, You are indicating your acceptance to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. SBF reserves the right to revise these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
User information entered during the online payment process is kept secure and confidential and will not be divulged to any third party, other than the payment gateway service provider.
The Company will not be held responsible for any damages the user may suffer as a result of using the payment process. The user agrees and shall defend, indemnify, save and hold the Company harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims that may arise or result from the incorrect use of the online payment process or any other causes attributable to the user.
The Company will not be responsible for any refunds arising out of any failures in online payments in case the amount gets deducted from user’s saving/current account and does not get credited in the Company’s account before the transaction is complete. Users, in this case, will have to contact either the Bank or Us to clarify the same.
In no event will the user be eligible for the refund of the payment made online.
Refunds which are subject to the company’s policy will be made to the instrument used while making payment. No refunds would be done through cash.
Receipts of online payments along with confirmation of admissions by SBF should be maintained by the user safely, as this will be a pre-condition for processing any refund.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure payment of full fees as applicable. Such payment of fees by or on behalf of the user does not in itself constitute acceptance of user’s candidature for the course. When the user successfully completes the online payment transaction using credit/debit cards option, funds will be deducted from the credit/debit card mentioned by the user and the payments will be credited to the Company. Any payment received through this website will be treated as having been made by the user, even though the same may have been made by some other person/party, in such event, the Company shall not be liable to entertain any correspondence from any person other than the user’s parents/guardian.
Refunds and Refund Credits
If the course you purchased is not what you were expecting, you can request, within 30 days for the recorded courses and 7 days for the live courses of your purchase of the course, that SBF apply a refund to your account. We reserve the right to apply your refund as a refund credit or a refund to your original payment method, at our discretion, depending on capabilities of our payment processing partners, the platform from which you purchased your course (website, mobile or TV app), and other factors. No refund is due to you if you request it after the 30-day guarantee time limit has passed. However, if a course you previously purchased is disabled for legal or policy reasons, you are entitled to a refund beyond this 30-day limit. SBF also reserves the right to refund students beyond the 30-day limit in cases of suspected or confirmed account fraud.
To request a refund mail us at sbf@drsiddharthabhardwaj.com
As detailed in the Student Agreement, instructors agree that students have the right to receive these refunds.
If we decide to issue refund credits to your account, they will be automatically applied towards your next course purchase on our website, but can’t be used for purchases in our mobile or TV applications. Refund credits may expire if not used within the specified period, and have no cash value.
At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our refund policy, such as if you’ve consumed a significant portion of a course that you want to refund or if you’ve previously refunded a course, we reserve the right to deny your refund, ban your account, and/or restrict all future use of the Services. If we ban your account or disable your access to a course due to your violation of these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you will not be eligible to receive a refund.
How To Get A Refund
We want you to be satisfied, so all courses purchased on SBF can be refunded within 30 days for recorded courses and 7 days for the live courses. For whatever reason, if you are unhappy with a course, you can request a refund.
Most refunds are returned via the original payment method. Please note that certain restrictions may apply and some purchases may only be eligible for credit refunds. For more information, please see below.
How to Request a Refund
You can quickly request a refund by contacting our support team at sbf@drsiddharthabhardwaj.com When you submit a refund request, please be sure to include the course URL.
Refund Status
For answers to commonly asked questions we receive regarding a refund’s status, please check your mails.
Credit Refunds
In cases where a transaction is not eligible for a cash refund, the refund will be granted using SBF credits, provided it meets our 30 / 7 -day refund policy.
iOS purchases: since iOS payments are processed through Apple and not SBF, we are unable to offer cash refunds for in-app purchases made in the Apple App Store. We offer credit refunds for eligible purchases. You can read more about Apple’s refund policy here.
Bank & cash transfer purchases: certain bank and cash transfer methods are only eligible for credit refunds.
Refunds for Bundles Purchased Through Third Party
If you purchased the course through a third party vendor, unfortunately, we cannot process your refund. Since we did not process the original payment, we do not have the transaction on file, and cannot initiate a refund for you. Please contact the third-party vendor directly to request a refund.
Reasons for Denied Refunds
While our 30-day / 7-day refund policy is in place to protect students, we must also protect our instructors from fraud and provide them a reasonable payment schedule. Payments are sent to instructors after 30 days, so we will not process refund requests received after the refund window.
If all course content was downloaded before the refund was requested, the refund request may be rejected. Finally, students who purchase and refund multiple courses over an extended period may be subject to suspension for abuse of the refund policy.
