Fees and payments
Most core features of Campus Mitra are free for students. Where fees apply (for example, premium business listings, promotional placement, or transaction commissions), they will be clearly disclosed before you incur them.
Payments are processed by third-party payment service providers. By making a payment, you also agree to the terms of the relevant processor. Refunds are governed by the policy displayed at the time of purchase.
All fees are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your transactions.
Intellectual property
The Services, including the software, design, branding, logos, and original content created by Campus Mitra, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose, subject to these Terms.
If you believe content on the Services infringes your intellectual property rights, please send a notice to copyright@campusmitra.com with the information required by applicable law.
Third-party services
The Services may include links to or integrations with third-party services. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Services at any time and delete your account from settings.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continued access poses a security or trust risk to the platform. Where reasonable, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure.
Upon termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will end. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability) will survive termination.
Disclaimers
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of dealing.
Campus Mitra does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected. We do not guarantee the conduct of users or the quality, safety, legality, or accuracy of listings or content posted by users.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Campus Mitra and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services.
In no event will our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) INR 5,000.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Campus Mitra and its affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (i) your use of the Services, (ii) Your Content, (iii) your violation of these Terms, or (iv) your violation of any third-party right.
