Terms of Use

1. Who we are

IAAA is an independent institute founded by Rahul Ghai, based in Bangalore, India. By using iaaa.academy, you agree to these terms.

2. What this site is

This site shares IAAA's vision, methodology, and offerings, and lets you reach out to share a challenge or enquiry. Content here is illustrative of our approach and evolving as the Institute grows.

3. Using this site

You agree to use this site lawfully and not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or harmful information through our forms
• Attempt to disrupt, scrape at scale, or interfere with the site's normal operation
• Use content from this site to imply an affiliation with IAAA that does not exist

4. Intellectual property

The IAAA name, the "Institute of Applied AI and Analytics" mark, the frameworks described on this site (including The Analytical Canon, the Applied Intelligence Method, and the Authority Standard), and all original written content belong to IAAA and Rahul Ghai. You may reference or link to this site, but you may not copy or republish substantial content without permission.

5. No professional guarantee

Nothing on this site constitutes a guarantee of employment, certification outcome, salary, or career result. Programmes and methodologies described here reflect our approach; individual results depend on many factors outside our control.

6. Third-party links and tools

This site may link to or use third-party services (such as form processing or external certification and credentialing bodies). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or availability of third-party services.

7. Limitation of liability

This site and its content are provided as-is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, IAAA and Rahul Ghai are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site.

8. Products, programmes, and payments

This site itself does not process payments. Individual products built under the IAAA brand — such as IAAA Vantage, an AIGP exam-preparation product — may separately offer paid access, and each carries its own terms for that product specifically.

Once any product under the IAAA brand begins charging for access: if you are not satisfied, you may request a full refund within 3 days of purchase, no questions asked, by emailing support@iaaa.academy from the purchasing account's email. After 3 days, all payments are final. This window applies once per person per product — repeated purchase-and-refund cycles will be treated as abuse and may result in access being revoked without further refund. Billing errors — such as a duplicate charge, or a payment that succeeded without access being granted — are corrected separately from this window, on their own merits.

The specific charges, renewal terms, and applicable taxes for any paid product will be confirmed on that product's own terms before any payment is collected, and this policy may be revised up to that point.

9. Live programmes, enrolment, and course materials

Some IAAA programmes are delivered as live online cohorts. Cohort dates are not currently scheduled, and the form on this site records interest only: submitting it is not an enrolment, does not reserve a place, and no payment is taken through this site. Prices shown are indicative, are in Indian Rupees, and may change; the price confirmed to you in writing before payment is the price that applies to you.

Cohort dates, session times, and the delivery platform may change, and we may postpone or cancel a cohort — for example if too few people enrol. If we cancel a cohort and cannot offer you a place on a later one that suits you, you receive a full refund of what you paid for it, regardless of the window described above.

Where a discount depends on your status — such as the student discount — it applies only while that status is genuine and verified. If verification fails or the claim proves false, we may ask for the difference or withdraw the place.

Course materials, including session recordings, concept guides, templates, and exercises, are provided for your own learning. They remain the intellectual property described in section 4. You may not record sessions yourself, share your access with anyone else, or republish, resell, or circulate the materials, in whole or in part, without our written permission.

Live sessions may be recorded so that enrolled participants can review them. If you speak or appear on camera during a session, that may form part of the recording shared with your cohort. If you would prefer not to appear, keep your camera and microphone off, or tell us and we will accommodate it.

10. Changes to these terms

As IAAA's offerings grow — particularly with paid programmes or certifications — these terms will be updated. The "last updated" date above will always reflect the latest version.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Bangalore, Karnataka.

Questions about these terms can be sent to founder@iaaa.academy.
