Payment

Payments must be made through the Razorpay payment facility on the CRACK IB website. Charges incurred through the use of third-party services, including but not limited to ‘Razorpay’, are not the responsibility of CRACK IB. Whilst CRACK IB has made all reasonable endeavours to ensure the fees detailed for payment using ‘Razorpay’ in this clause are correct, CRACK IB are not liable should these fees be subject to alteration by ‘Razorpay’.

Payments must not be made directly to the Tutor at any time. Doing so may lead to a breach of this agreement and possible termination.

Payments made via non-Indian bank accounts must take into account any international deductions made by the transferring bank/institution. The Student or potential Member must account for these extra fees on top of the base payment. CRACK IB shall not be liable for any transaction fees.

Cancellation & Refund

Once a course has been purchased, a Student can decide to cancel / pull out of the course at any time before the first session starts. In such a case, a Student can request a full refund of the fees paid by him/her for that particular course by contacting CRACK IB using the Contact Us form on the website or by emailing Us at help@crackib.com.

A Student cannot pull out of the course once the course has begun. After the first session of a Course has begun, no refund will be provided.

CRACK IB reserves the right to cancel a Course after Listing, as well as cancelling a Course after payment has been collected, as well as cancelling a Course in progress. In these unfortunate scenarios, We will do our best to notify all the Members / Students in that particular Course of the cancellation. Students who have enrolled in the cancelled Course will be given a refund of the undelivered sessions i.e. the refund amount would be pro-rata to the unconsumed portion of the tuition. E.g. If a hypothetical course costs ₹100 for a total of 10 sessions, then each session will be deemed to be cost ₹10. Therefore, if this course gets cancelled after the completion of 3 sessions, then an enrolled student in this cancelled course will be entitled to a refund of ₹70.

We reserve the right to ban a student from using our app or accessing our online courses. A student will not be entitled to a refund after he is banned. Reasons for banning a student can include the following:
• Bringing other friends or students who have not paid to attend the live online classes.

• Illegally distributing materials from our live online classes or app to other non-paying students
• Any other reason which we may deem to consider as harmful behaviour
