Introduction:


This document serves as a legally binding agreement between you (referred to as “user” or “you”) and PMFASTRICK Education Services Private Limited (“PMF Edu,” “us,” “we,” or “our”), outlining the terms that govern your use of the Programs and Platform provided by PMF Edu. The Platform includes the website www.pmfedu.com, mobile apps, and other services offered by PMF Edu, which provide online industry-relevant certification programs and trainings (“Programs”).


By accessing the Platform or accepting these Terms in any manner, you consent to abide by and adhere to the Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not entitled to use the Programs, and any use thereafter shall be considered unauthorized.


Please review our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and other policies available on the Platform, as they govern your use of the Platform and Programs. Each Program may have separate terms governing refunds, deferrals, payments, etc., which will supersede these Terms in case of conflict.

The Platform includes mobile apps, WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, Instagram pages, Facebook pages, email/SMS/phone communications, and other social media forums hosted by PMF Edu, all considered part of the ‘Platform.’ Some parts of the Platform are provided by third-party service providers, and you agree to abide by their terms and conditions.

Although you may “bookmark” a portion of the Platform to bypass these Terms, your use of the Platform still binds you to these Terms. We reserve the right to change these Terms without prior notice, and your continued use of the Platform after such changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.


PMF Edu does not guarantee that the Platform is legally permitted to operate in all geographic areas, and accessing the Platform from illegal territories is prohibited. You are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws when accessing the Platform.


User Conduct Policy:


By accessing the Platform or Programs, you are considered a ‘user’ and are responsible for all your activities on the Platform. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and refrain from unethical practices.

You will not post or transmit any communication or solicitation intended to obtain confidential information from users or third parties. PMF Edu reserves the right to report suspicious or illegal activities to authorities without notice.

During your use of the Platform and Programs, you agree to:

  • Not harass other users or create a hostile environment within student groups.
  • Not cheat on assignments or exams.
  • Not share secured testing materials.
  • Not share solutions to assignments or exams unless permitted by the Company.
  • Notify instructors of any user cheating or breaching these Terms and comply with the applicable code of conduct for the Program.


User Accounts, User Registration, and Delivery of Services


To participate in most Platform activities and apply for a Program, you must register for a personal account (“User Account”) by following a registration link sent to your registered email address after payment of the registration fees for the selected Program.


After payment of the Program fees, PMF Edu will deliver the terms of use of the Program and grant you access to the Program. Payment confirmation may be shared via email, and a payment receipt will be shared only upon request.


In exceptional circumstances, if PMF Edu has granted you access to a Program pending payment and does not receive payment within the stipulated time, PMF Edu may, at its discretion, withdraw your access to the Program without prior notice.


You agree never to share access to your User Account with any third party. You also agree to create, use, and access only one User Account, and not to use any User Account other than your own.


During User Account setup, you may be prompted to enter additional information, including your name and email address. Additional information may be required to confirm your identity. You understand and agree that all information provided by you is accurate, current, and complete, and that you will maintain and update your information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You acknowledge that providing untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete information may result in termination of your use of the Platform and enrollment in a Program.


As part of your use of the Platform or participation in the Programs, PMF Edu may collect information about you and your performance in the Programs. Some of this information may be Personally Identifiable Information. PMF Edu may use, maintain, and store this information to provide services to you now and in the future, and may share such information with Educational Partners or third parties for marketing purposes. By registering your User Account, you authorize PMF Edu to contact you or third parties for the above purposes, regardless of your registration under DND or DNC or NCPR service.

Access to the Programs is restricted to attendees or students granted access by PMF Edu.


By registering your User Account, you agree that:

  • You are registered for the Program only once and will not set up multiple User Accounts.
  • You will abide by these Terms and any terms specific to the Program.


Additional requirements apply to Students. As a Student, you agree to complete relevant and applicable assignments in addition to the above points.


Payment Terms and Refund Policy


Full payment for participation in a Program is required at the time of registration, unless otherwise agreed in writing by PMF Edu. Programs with a trial window will make the trial window available only after full payment. During the trial window, upon request and to the satisfaction of PMF Edu, a refund may be issued, subject to applicable charges for administrative and marketing expenses, as decided by PMF Edu. No refund will be allowed after the trial window closes. For programs without a trial window, refunds will be done according to the respective program’s refund policy.

It is your responsibility to check the accuracy, suitability, and relevance of the Program you elect. Enrolment in a Program is non-transferable.

To make payment for any Program or purchase any services or products offered by PMF Edu through the Platform, you must have internet access and a current valid accepted payment method as indicated during sign-up (“Payment Method”). PMF Edu does not store credit card information or other information restricted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for processing payment and has partnered with payment gateways for payment processing. By using a third-party payment provider, you agree to abide by the terms of such a payment provider. You agree that if the third-party payment provider stores any information, PMF Edu will not be responsible for such storage, and it will be solely at your discretion to allow the third party to store such information. Any loss incurred due to the usage of such information will be solely your loss, and PMF Edu is not liable for such losses. You also agree to pay the applicable fees for payments made through the Platform.


Failure to pay the applicable Program fee may result in withdrawal of your access to a Program. Your transaction with PMF Edu may be subject to foreign exchange fees or exchange rates, depending on where you transact with us, the type of payment method used, and where your payment was issued. PMF Edu does not support all payment methods, currencies, or locations for payment. All applicable taxes are calculated based on the billing information you provide at the time of enrollment/purchase.

If you have subscribed for a free trial, the free trial period will last for the period specified during sign-up. Free trials may not be combined with certain other offers. If you have subscribed to a particular paid service or product within the last six (6) months, or if your Payment Method, physical address, contact number, or email address has been associated with an account for that paid service, you are not eligible for a free trial for that service or product. If you begin your subscription with a free trial, you may be ineligible for certain features of a product or service during your free trial period.


Use of Programs


PMF Edu reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any Program or live lectures/webinars, or to alter, modify or rearrange the schedule of topics, as well as the point value or weight of assignments, tests, exams, projects and other such evaluations of progress. You also understand that PMF Edu, at its sole discretion, may limit, suspend, or terminate your use of the Platform or Programs and/or all PMF Edu-provided services related to the Programs, such as access to PMF Edu coaches or support services, evaluation services, or certifications. You also understand that PMF Edu may modify or discontinue all services related to its Programs at its sole discretion. You agree that PMF Edu shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to obligate PMF Edu to maintain and support the Platform or Programs or any part or portion thereof or any associated services.

Subject to the applicable refund policy, if you no longer wish to use any program, you may terminate your participation by giving a prior notice to PMF Edu.

Educational Partners and Accreditation


PMF Edu is an education service provider, offering Programs in consultation with Indian and International, governmental authorities, accreditation bodies (Scrum, Agile), corporates, etc. (each an “Educational Partner”).

PMF Edu may offer a credential or other acknowledgement for participants who have satisfactorily demonstrated mastery of the Program material. The decision to award any such credential acknowledgement to a given participant will be solely at the discretion of PMF Edu. PMF Edu may choose not to offer any credential or other acknowledgement for some Programs. PMF Edu may decide at its sole discretion whether to provide a record concerning a participant’s performance in a Program. The format of any credential or other acknowledgement, and of any performance, provided by PMF Edu relating to Programs will be determined by PMF Edu at its sole discretion and may vary from Program to Program.


You will be awarded a certificate of successful completion of a Program (“Program Certificate”) only upon fulfilling the criteria and requirements of PMF Edu and its Educational Partners.


You will not receive academic credit from PMF Edu or any other Educational Partner for taking a Program. If you are taking a Program for academic credit or certification as a student of, or otherwise through, an Educational Partner, any such credit or certification may only be awarded directly by the Educational Partner based on its own policies and procedures, and you may be required by that Educational Partner to be registered or enrolled with the Educational Partner in order to receive credit or certification; and, in any event, PMF Edu will not have any authority or responsibility with respect to any award of academic credit or certification provided by an Educational Partner for a Program.


You acknowledge and agree that any Program affiliated with an Educational Partner may be subject to the terms, policies and procedures of the applicable Educational Partner in addition to PMF Edu’s Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, if you are a student registered or enrolled at, or are otherwise attending, an Educational Partner and are taking a Program for credit or certification through that Educational Partner, you acknowledge and agree that (a) the Educational Partner may have its own terms, policies or procedures regarding your eligibility to participate in the Program, your participation in the Program, the requirements or prerequisites for receiving credit or certification for the Program, and/or your educational or student records as they may relate to your participation and performance in the Program, and (b) your educational or student records are maintained by the Educational Partner, including for purposes of assigning credit or certification, and not PMF Edu.
