1. Agreement to Terms

1.1. Acceptance

BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, CREATING AN ACCOUNT FOR, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE APP, YOU (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE AND COMPETENCE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT; AND (C) ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM AND BY OUR PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

THIS AGREEMENT IS A "CLICKWRAP" AGREEMENT. YOUR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION OF CLICKING "I AGREE" OR A SIMILARLY WORDED CHECKBOX DURING THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PROCESS CONSTITUTES YOUR ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE TO THIS AGREEMENT AND DEMONSTRATES YOUR INTENT TO BE BOUND. THIS METHOD IS CHOSEN TO ENSURE A CLEAR AND PROVABLE RECORD OF YOUR CONSENT, WHICH IS VITAL FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE TERMS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE APP. YOU MUST DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.

1.2. Eligibility

To access or use the App, you must be at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, and fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms. If you are under the age of 18 ("Minor"), you may only use the Website with the express consent and under the supervision of your parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. If you are a parent or guardian permitting a Minor to use the App, you are fully responsible for their use of the Website and their compliance with these Terms.

1.3. Scope of Agreement

These Terms apply to all aspects of your use of the Website and the Services provided therein. This includes any updates, upgrades, new features, or modifications to the App, unless such changes are expressly accompanied by a separate or supplemental agreement, in which case the terms of that agreement will govern.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

• "Account" means the unique user profile created by a User to access and use the core features of the Website and Services.
• "App" refers to the Jurniq Career Guidance mobile software application, including any and all related software, content, and documentation.
• "Company," "We," "Us," "Our" refers to Jurniq Career Guidance (OPC) Private Limited, with its registered details as provided above.
• "Intellectual Property Rights" means all rights in and to patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, database rights, and other proprietary rights, whether registered or unregistered, and all applications for the same, existing anywhere in the world.
• "Services" refers to all features, functionalities, content, and information provided by the Company through the App, including but not limited to the generation of personalized recommendations for educational institutions and job opportunities.
• "User," "You," "Your" refers to the individual who downloads, installs, accesses, or uses the App.
• "User Content" means any and all data, information, text, images, photographs, and other materials that a User provides, submits, uploads, or otherwise transmits to or through the App. This definition is intentionally broad to include, without limitation, your name, location, age, academic marks, and photographs of academic documents or mark sheets. This comprehensive definition ensures that all data you provide is governed by the licenses and responsibilities outlined in this agreement, providing legal clarity as the App's features evolve.

3. Description of Services

The Website provides a career guidance and educational planning platform. The primary function of the Services is to utilize the User Content you provide to generate personalized, algorithmically-driven, non-binding recommendations for educational courses, programs, schools, colleges, and potential job opportunities that may be relevant to your academic profile and personal details.

The Services are designed as an informational tool to assist you in your personal career and educational research. The recommendations and any other information provided through the Website are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute professional, financial, legal, or career counseling advice. The platform's design is to present possibilities, not to guarantee outcomes. This framing is a deliberate legal distinction; the service is an informational aid, not a placement agency, which fundamentally shapes the scope of the Company's responsibilities and liabilities.

4. User Accounts

4.1. Registration

To access the full functionality of the Services, you must register for and maintain an active user Account. During the registration process, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of these Terms, which may result in the immediate termination of your Account. You are responsible for updating your information to maintain its accuracy.

4.2. Account Security

You are solely and entirely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including your username and password. You are also responsible for any and all activities or actions that occur under your Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. The security of the personal academic data stored within the Website is contingent on both our platform's security measures and your personal diligence in protecting your login credentials. By making you contractually responsible for your account's security, we emphasize that negligence on your part, such as password sharing, is a risk for which the Company cannot be held liable.

4.3. Notification of Breach

You must notify the Company immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. You can contact us using the information provided in Section 16.5.

4.4. One Account Per User

Unless otherwise specified, you may only register for and maintain a single Account. The creation of multiple accounts by a single individual is prohibited. Furthermore, registering for an Account using automated methods, such as "bots," or through any other fraudulent means is strictly forbidden.

5. Data Collection and Privacy

Your use of the Website and Services is predicated on the collection, storage, and processing of your personal information. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, location, age, academic marks, and any images of academic documents you upload as User Content.

5.1. Acknowledgment of Privacy Policy

All information we collect through or in connection with this Website is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed at [Insert Hyperlink to Privacy Policy]. The Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference into, and made an integral part of, these Terms. It is a separate, legally required document that provides detailed disclosures about our data handling practices, which is a legal best practice for clarity and compliance.

5.2. Consent to Data Practices

By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consent to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. This clause serves as the contractual bridge that makes your agreement to our data practices a condition of using the service, a legally robust method for obtaining and documenting your consent.

6. License to Use the App

6.1. License Grant

Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download, install, and use the Website on a single mobile device that you own or otherwise control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Each term in this grant is a deliberate legal constraint on your rights. "Limited" restricts use to the App's intended purpose. "Non-exclusive" allows us to license the Website to others. "Non-transferable" prohibits you from selling or giving your license to someone else. "Revocable" establishes our right to terminate this license if you breach these Terms, which is the legal foundation for the Termination clause (Section 13).

6.2. No Sale of Software

You acknowledge and agree that the Website is provided to you under a license, and is not sold to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest or any other rights in the Website other than the right to use the Website in accordance with the license granted herein. The Company and its licensors reserve and shall retain their entire right, title, and interest in and to the App.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

7.1. Company Ownership

The Website and its entire contents, features, and functionality—including but not limited to all information, software, source code, object code, text, displays, images, video, audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, as well as all trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (collectively, the "Company IP")—are owned by Jurniq Career Guidance (OPC) Private Limited, its licensors, or other providers of such material. The Company IP is protected by the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws of India and international conventions. For a technology startup, its intellectual property is its most valuable asset; this clause serves as a clear declaration of ownership, which is fundamental for corporate valuation, investment, and legal enforcement against infringement.

7.2. Reservation of Rights

The Company reserves all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms. No license or right is granted to you by implication or otherwise under any Intellectual Property Rights owned or controlled by the Company or its licensors, except for the licenses and rights expressly granted in these Terms.

8. User-Generated Content (User Content)

8.1. Ownership

You retain any and all of your existing rights, title, and interest in and to any User Content you submit, post, or display on or through the App. The Company does not claim ownership of your academic records or other personal data you provide.

8.2. License to Company

By providing User Content to the App, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, publish, and process such User Content. This license is granted for the limited and sole purpose of operating, providing, developing, and improving the Services, and for researching and developing new ones. This license is precisely tailored to our business needs: we must be able to "reproduce" your data to store it on our servers, "modify" it for analysis (e.g., using optical character recognition on a mark sheet image), and "display" it back to you within the App. The specified purpose prevents us from using your data for unrelated activities, such as selling it, thereby protecting your rights and building trust.

8.3. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of submitting it to the App. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize the Company to use your User Content as necessary to exercise the license granted in this section; and (ii) your User Content does not and will not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, or right of publicity.

9. User Responsibilities and Prohibited Conduct

Your access to and use of the Website and Services is subject to your compliance with applicable laws and the rules of conduct set forth below. This comprehensive list of prohibitions provides the clear, contractual basis for the Company to exercise its right to terminate your account for cause.

9.1. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information as required for your Account and User Content.
• Comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations in connection with your use of the App.
• Use the Website and Services only for their intended personal, non-commercial purposes.

9.2. Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not, under any circumstances, do any of the following:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Website or any part thereof.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the Website or any part thereof.
• Use the Website for any purpose that is unlawful, fraudulent, or prohibited by these Terms, or to solicit the performance of any illegal activity.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute to or through the Website any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer system or data.
• Use any robot, spider, page-scrape, or other automated device, program, or process to access, retrieve, scrape, or index any portion of the Website or its content.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on the servers or networks connected to the App, or violate the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other user accounts, or computer systems or networks connected to the Website through hacking, password mining, or any other means.
• Impersonate another person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
• Use the Website to collect, harvest, or store personal data about other users without their express permission.
• Remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices from the App.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

10.1. No Endorsement

The Services will provide recommendations that include links to third-party websites, services, and resources (e.g., college admission portals, company career pages) that are not owned or controlled by the Company. You acknowledge that the Company has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, approval, or control by the Company. This explicit severance of an "implied endorsement" is a critical liability shield, as the App's core value proposition involves directing users to these external entities.

10.2. User Risk

You expressly acknowledge and agree that you access and use any and all third-party materials entirely at your own risk. The Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such third-party websites or services. Your relationship with such third parties is governed by their respective terms and conditions and privacy policies.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THIS SECTION IS A CRITICAL PART OF THE AGREEMENT AND IS WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO ITS TERMS. IT IS SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS THE INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES OF A RECOMMENDATION-BASED SERVICE.

11.1. "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE"

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

11.2. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Outcomes

THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES. SPECIFICALLY, AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS, DATA, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, ERROR-FREE, OR CURRENT. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL GUARANTEES OF ADMISSION TO ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, SECURING ANY JOB OFFER, OR ACHIEVING ANY OTHER SPECIFIC CAREER OR EDUCATIONAL OUTCOME AS A RESULT OF USING THE SERVICES. THIS SPECIFIC DISCLAIMER DIRECTLY CONFRONTS THE MOST PROBABLE BASIS FOR A USER LAWSUIT AND IS THE PRIMARY DEFENSIVE CLAUSE FOR THIS BUSINESS MODEL.

11.3. No Warranty of Uninterrupted Service

THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING SUFFICIENT PROCEDURES TO SATISFY YOUR PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION.

12. Limitation of Liability

THIS SECTION LIMITS THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO YOU AND IS ALSO WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EMPHASIS.

12.1. Exclusion of Damages

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.

12.2. Cap on Liability

IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, THE COMPANY IS FOUND TO BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY SERVICES, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO THE COMPANY FOR USE OF THE SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED INDIAN RUPEES (₹100). THIS MONETARY CAP SERVES AS A FINANCIAL BACKSTOP, PROVIDING A PREDICTABLE LIMIT ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL EXPOSURE IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO.

12.3. No Refunds

ALL FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES, IF ANY, ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. THIS INCLUDES FEES FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS, PREMIUM FEATURES, OR ANY OTHER PAID SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH THE APP. THE COMPANY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE A REFUND OR CREDIT FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICES, TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT INTERRUPTION OF THE SERVICES. BY MAKING ANY PAYMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO A REFUND.

13. Termination

13.1. Termination by User

You may terminate this legal agreement with the Company at any time by deactivating your Account and ceasing all use of the App. Deleting the Website from your mobile device will also terminate the agreement.

13.2. Termination by Company

We may, in our sole discretion, suspend, limit, or terminate your Account and your access to the Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice or liability to you. Reasons for such termination may include, but are not limited to, (a) a breach of these Terms, (b) a request by law enforcement or other government agencies, or (c) unexpected technical or security issues. The right to terminate "at our sole discretion" provides the Company with maximum flexibility to protect the platform and its user community from abuse.

13.3. Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your Account, your right to use the Website and Services will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions (Section 7), license grants from you to us (Section 8.2), warranty disclaimers (Section 11), indemnity, and limitations of liability (Section 12), and governing law and jurisdiction (Section 15). This survival clause is critical to ensure that the Company's legal protections remain in force even after the user relationship has ended.

14. Modifications to the Terms

14.1. Right to Modify

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

14.2. Notification of Changes

If a revision is material, as determined in our sole discretion, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you with notice prior to the new terms taking effect. This notice may be provided through the App's interface, to the email address associated with your Account, or by other means. By retaining discretion over what constitutes a "material" change, the Company can make minor administrative updates without triggering a notification requirement, while remaining committed to transparency for significant changes.

14.3. Acceptance of Modifications

By continuing to access or use our Website or Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use the Website and must stop using it immediately.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

15.1. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

15.2. Jurisdiction

You agree that any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the competent courts located in Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. This clause is a strategic risk-management tool. By fixing jurisdiction to the location of the Company's registered office, it prevents the significant financial and logistical burden of defending a lawsuit in a distant or foreign jurisdiction, providing critical legal and financial predictability for the startup.

16. General Provisions

16.1. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Website and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between you and the Company.

16.2. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

16.3. No Waiver

The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

16.4. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without the Company's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. The Company may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.
