The service is intended to support school learning, revision, practice, and exploration. It is not a replacement for school teaching, for a teacher, for a textbook prescribed by a school or board, for a tutor, or for any official syllabus, examination paper, marking scheme, or result issued by a board or education authority.

1.4. By accessing or using Eduplore, you acknowledge that you have read this Disclaimer, that you understand its contents, and that you accept its terms. If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, you should not use Eduplore. If you are a parent or guardian of a student under the age of 18 years, you should read this Disclaimer together with the student and explain it to the student in language the student can understand.

1.5. This Disclaimer is written in plain English so that students, parents, teachers, and school administrators can understand it without legal training. Where a legal term is used, its meaning is explained in Section 2. Where Indian law is mentioned, the reference is given so that a reader can check the law, and the summary in this Disclaimer is not a substitute for reading the law itself or for obtaining independent legal advice.

2.1. In this Disclaimer, the following terms have the following meanings, unless the context requires otherwise.

2.2. Application means the Eduplore mobile application available on the Google Play Store, and any successor application published by Eduplore for the same service.

2.13. Subscription means a paid plan, licence, or access period purchased through the Platform or through the Google Play Store, where applicable, that provides access to specified Content or features for a specified period.

2.14. In-App Purchase means a purchase made inside the Application, including a Subscription or a purchase of access to a course, laboratory, or feature, processed through the Google Play Store billing system or another authorised payment system.

2.15. Third-Party Service means any service, website, application, platform, or content provider that is not operated by Eduplore, including the Google Play Store, payment processors, analytics providers, video hosting providers, and any external website linked from the Platform.

2.16. Personal Data means any data about an individual who is identifiable by or in relation to such data, as defined under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

2.17. Board means a school education board, examination board, or education authority in India, including the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board, the Central Board of Secondary Education, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, and any other board whose syllabus or examination is relevant to a Student.

3.1. Eduplore is an educational support service. It provides structured video courses, interactive three-dimensional laboratories, quizzes, assessments, and progress analytics to help Students understand concepts, revise topics, and practise questions. It does not confer any degree, diploma, certificate of board recognition, or formal qualification, unless a specific certificate issued through the Platform expressly states otherwise and is described as such at the time of issue.

3.2. Completion of a course, laboratory, quiz, or assessment on Eduplore does not guarantee that a Student has mastered the subject, that the Student will pass any school test or board examination, or that the Student will obtain any particular marks, grade, rank, or result. Learning outcomes depend on many factors outside the control of Eduplore, including the Student's prior knowledge, effort, attendance at school, guidance from teachers and parents, and the specific requirements of the relevant Board and school.

3.3. The Platform is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Eduplore does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure at all times, or available at all times. Maintenance, updates, technical faults, network conditions, device compatibility, and actions by Third-Party Services may affect availability. Section 10 of this Disclaimer explains technical availability in more detail.

3.4. Eduplore may add, modify, remove, or discontinue any Content, laboratory, course, quiz, feature, or service at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Where a paid Subscription is affected by a material change, Eduplore will take reasonable steps to inform the affected user, and the user's rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and under the applicable terms of purchase, will apply.

3.5. The Platform is intended for use in India, and its Content is prepared with reference to the Karnataka school curriculum and to commonly used Indian school syllabuses for Classes 8 to 10. Students following a different syllabus, studying in a different state, or preparing for a different Board should check whether the Content matches their own syllabus, and should rely primarily on the syllabus and textbooks prescribed by their own school and Board.

4.1. Eduplore takes reasonable care to prepare accurate, up-to-date, and age-appropriate educational Content. Video lessons, text explanations, diagrams, practice questions, and quiz answers are prepared by or under the supervision of persons with subject knowledge, and are reviewed before publication where practicable. Despite this care, errors, omissions, outdated information, typographical mistakes, translation differences between Kannada and English, and differences of interpretation can occur.

4.2. No Content on the Platform should be treated as infallible, complete, or exhaustive. A video lesson or a set of notes is a teaching aid, not a substitute for the prescribed textbook, the official syllabus, or the instructions of a teacher. Where there is a difference between the Content and the prescribed textbook, the official syllabus, or a teacher's instruction, the Student should follow the textbook, the syllabus, and the teacher, and should raise the difference with a teacher or with Eduplore through the contact details in Section 17.

4.3. Scientific, mathematical, historical, geographical, and other factual information changes over time. New discoveries, revised classifications, updated Board syllabuses, and corrected textbooks may make older Content outdated. Eduplore will take reasonable steps to update Content when it becomes aware that the Content is materially outdated or incorrect, but it does not warrant that every item of Content will be updated immediately, or that Content will always reflect the most recent scientific consensus or the most recent Board syllabus.

4.4. Practice questions, sample answers, model answers, and quiz explanations are provided to help Students practise and to illustrate how a question may be answered. They are not official Board answers, not official marking schemes, and not a promise that the same answer will receive the same marks in a school test or board examination. Marking depends on the marking scheme, the examiner, and the specific question paper in the relevant examination.

4.5. Where Content refers to a formula, a constant, a unit, a classification, a date, a name, or a numerical value, the Student should verify the value against the prescribed textbook and the current syllabus before relying on it in an examination. In particular, scientific constants, atomic weights, periodic table data, biological classifications, historical dates, and geographical statistics should be checked against the current textbook, because different textbooks and different editions may present the same information in slightly different forms.

4.6. Translations between Kannada and English are provided to help Students who are more comfortable in one language than the other. A translation may not capture every nuance of the original language. Where a Kannada label and an English label appear to differ, the Student should consult a teacher, and should treat the prescribed textbook as the authoritative source for examination purposes.

4.7. Eduplore does not warrant that Content is suitable for every Student, for every learning need, for every level of ability, or for every examination. Students with specific learning needs, disabilities, or educational requirements should seek guidance from their school, teacher, or parent, and should use the Platform as one learning aid among others, not as the sole source of learning.

4.8. If you find an error in any Content, you are encouraged to report it to Eduplore using the contact details in Section 17, giving the course name, the lesson title, the timestamp or page, and a description of the error. Eduplore will review the report and, where the report is correct, will take reasonable steps to correct the Content. A report does not create an obligation to correct the Content within any particular time, and does not create any right to compensation.

5.1. The Three-Dimensional Labs are interactive visual teaching aids. They are designed to help Students visualise structures, systems, and processes that are difficult to see in a two-dimensional textbook diagram, such as the human body, the heart, a cell, the periodic table, molecules, the solar system, and physical phenomena. They are not real anatomical specimens, not real laboratory equipment, not real medical devices, and not real scientific instruments.

5.2. The Human Body three-dimensional atlas, including any model that shows organs, systems, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, or other anatomical structures, is a simplified, stylised, and illustrative model. It is intended for school-level education. It is not anatomically complete, not to scale in every respect, not a substitute for a medical textbook, an anatomy atlas used in medical education, a cadaveric study, or a clinical examination, and not a basis for any medical diagnosis, treatment, or decision.

5.3. The Heart and ECG laboratory, including any simulation of a heartbeat, heart rate, electrocardiogram waveform, or cardiac rhythm, is an educational simulation. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, not a clinical monitor, and not a substitute for a real electrocardiogram, a real heart rate monitor, or the advice of a qualified medical professional. The heart rates, waveforms, and readings shown in the simulation are illustrative values chosen for teaching, not measurements of any real person's heart.

5.4. No Three-Dimensional Lab, simulation, or related Content provides medical advice, health advice, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, or a recommendation about any medical condition, medicine, therapy, diet, exercise, or health practice. If a Student, parent, teacher, or any other user has a question about health, a symptom, a medical condition, or a treatment, that person should consult a qualified medical professional, and should not rely on any Content on the Platform.

5.5. The Cell laboratory, the Molecular laboratory, and the Chemistry laboratory present simplified models of cells, molecules, atoms, chemical structures, and chemical reactions for school-level teaching. Molecular shapes, atomic sizes, bond angles, reaction mechanisms, and chemical behaviour are simplified for clarity. They are not a substitute for a university-level chemistry textbook, a laboratory experiment conducted under proper supervision, or professional scientific advice.

5.6. The Periodic Table laboratory presents the elements, their symbols, atomic numbers, and selected properties in a form suitable for school students. Element data, including atomic weights, may be rounded, simplified, or presented according to a particular edition or source. Students should verify element data against the prescribed textbook and the current syllabus before using it in an examination.

5.7. The Universe laboratory, the Solar System laboratory, and the Space laboratory present simplified models of planets, stars, orbits, distances, sizes, and astronomical phenomena. Distances, sizes, speeds, and timescales are not to scale, and are adjusted so that the model can be viewed and understood on a screen. They are illustrative teaching aids, not astronomical measurements, not navigation tools, and not a substitute for an authoritative astronomical source.

5.8. The Physics laboratory and the Vector Calculus laboratory present simplified simulations of physical phenomena and mathematical concepts. A simulation may omit friction, air resistance, measurement error, or other real-world factors in order to illustrate a principle clearly. A result shown in a simulation is an illustration of a principle under simplified conditions, not a prediction of the exact result of a real experiment.

5.9. Three-Dimensional Labs may allow a Student to rotate a model, to zoom in or out, to explode or separate parts, to isolate a part, to tap a part for its name, or to view a system in isolation. These interactions are teaching features. Isolating a part does not mean that the part functions independently in a real body, a real cell, or a real system. A Student should learn how parts work together as a system, as explained in the accompanying lesson and in the prescribed textbook.

5.10. The number of parts, systems, or labels shown in a Three-Dimensional Lab is a feature of the model as built for teaching, and may differ from the number shown in a textbook, in another model, or in a professional reference. A difference in count does not mean that the textbook or the model is wrong. It reflects different choices about level of detail, classification, and simplification for school-level teaching.

5.11. Three-Dimensional Labs should be used under the guidance of a teacher or parent where the Student is a Minor or where the Student is unfamiliar with the topic. A teacher may use a laboratory to demonstrate a concept in class, to assign exploration as homework, or to support revision, but the teacher remains responsible for the teaching, for the accuracy of the lesson as delivered, and for the safety of any real laboratory work conducted at school.

5.12. Eduplore does not warrant that a Three-Dimensional Lab will be suitable for any particular device, screen size, operating system version, or network condition, or that it will render identically on every device. Performance may vary with device capability, available memory, graphics support, and network speed. Section 10 explains technical availability in more detail.

6.1. Eduplore does not guarantee that any Student will pass any school test, unit test, term examination, board examination, entrance examination, or other assessment, or that any Student will obtain any particular marks, grade, percentage, rank, or result, whether or not the Student completes all courses, laboratories, quizzes, and assessments on the Platform.

6.2. Examination results depend on many factors, including the Student's understanding, revision, practice, attendance, health, examination conditions, the specific question paper, the marking scheme, and the judgement of the examiner. No learning application can control all of those factors, and no promise about a result should be inferred from any statement on the Platform, in any advertisement, in any demonstration, or in any communication from Eduplore, unless that statement expressly and in writing guarantees a specific result and is signed by an authorised representative of Eduplore.

6.3. Any statement on the Platform about improved understanding, better revision, more engaging learning, or similar benefits is a general description of the intended benefit of the service. It is not a guarantee of any individual outcome, and it is not a promise that every Student will experience the same benefit.

6.4. Progress analytics, scores, ranks, badges, streaks, completion percentages, and other indicators shown on the Platform are internal measures of activity and performance within the Platform. They are not Board marks, not school marks, not official grades, and not a prediction of Board or school results. A high score on a Platform quiz does not guarantee a high score in a school test or board examination, and a low score on the Platform does not mean that the Student will fail a school test or board examination.

6.5. Sample question papers, previous year questions, guess papers, important questions, and similar material, where provided, are provided for practice only. They are not the actual question paper for any future examination, not a leak of any examination paper, and not a promise that the same questions will appear in any examination. Students should not rely on any such material as a substitute for studying the full syllabus.

6.6. If a school, teacher, or parent uses Eduplore as part of a teaching plan, the responsibility for the teaching plan, for the choice of syllabus, for the assessment of the Student, and for the reporting of results to the school or Board remains with the school, the teacher, and the parent, as applicable. Eduplore provides a tool to support that plan. It does not replace the professional judgement of the teacher or the responsibility of the school.

7.1. Nothing on the Platform constitutes professional advice of any kind, including medical advice, health advice, legal advice, financial advice, career advice, psychological advice, counselling, or any other professional advice, unless the Content expressly states that it is professional advice given by a named qualified professional in that field, and is provided in that capacity.

7.2. Medical and health matters are covered in Section 5.4. In addition, any Content that mentions health, the human body, nutrition, exercise, first aid, or disease is educational only. It is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified medical professional, and it should not be used to diagnose, treat, or manage any condition, or to decide whether to seek medical attention.

7.3. Any Content that mentions law, rights, duties, or legal processes is general educational information only. It is not legal advice, and it should not be relied on as legal advice. If you need legal advice, you should consult a qualified lawyer.

7.4. Any Content that mentions careers, courses, colleges, entrance examinations, scholarships, or employment is general information only. It is not career counselling, and it should not be relied on as a guarantee of admission, employment, or any other outcome. Students and parents should verify career and admission information with the relevant institution and with the relevant official source.

7.5. Any Content that mentions money, fees, subscriptions, or payments is general information about the Platform's own services only, unless it expressly states otherwise. It is not financial advice, and it should not be relied on for any financial decision.

8.1. An Account may be created by a Student who is 18 years of age or older, by a Parent or Guardian on behalf of a Minor, by a Teacher, or by a School administrator, in each case in accordance with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. A Minor should not create an Account without the consent of a Parent or Guardian, and a Parent or Guardian who creates or permits an Account for a Minor is responsible for supervising the Minor's use of the Platform.

8.2. The person who creates an Account is responsible for keeping the login details confidential, for all activity that occurs under the Account, and for informing Eduplore promptly if the person believes that the Account has been used without permission. Eduplore is not responsible for any loss arising from a failure to keep login details confidential, except to the extent that the loss is caused by Eduplore's own failure to take reasonable security measures, as described in the Privacy Policy.

8.3. Parents and Guardians should supervise the use of the Platform by Minors, should review the Content accessed by the Minor, should set appropriate limits on screen time and on use, and should discuss with the Minor the importance of not sharing personal information with strangers, not sharing passwords, and reporting any content that makes the Minor uncomfortable.

8.4. Teachers and Schools that use the Platform should ensure that they have the necessary consent from Parents or Guardians for Students under 18 years of age, in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and with the school's own policies. A School that enrols Students on the Platform is responsible for ensuring that the enrolment is lawful, that the Students and Parents have been informed about the Platform, and that the School has a lawful basis for sharing any Personal Data with Eduplore.

8.5. Eduplore does not verify the age, identity, qualification, or authority of every user. A Teacher account does not mean that Eduplore has verified the person's teaching qualification, employment, or authorisation by a school. A School account does not mean that Eduplore has verified the school's recognition, affiliation, or registration. Users should verify the identity and authority of any person they deal with through the Platform, and should not rely on an Account label alone.

8.6. A Student, Teacher, Parent, or School should not share an Account, should not allow another person to use the Account to impersonate them, and should not use the Platform to contact a Minor in a way that is inappropriate, unsolicited, or outside the purpose of the Platform. Any misuse should be reported to Eduplore through the contact details in Section 17.

8.7. Eduplore may suspend or terminate an Account in accordance with the Terms of Use, for example where the Terms of Use have been breached, where the Account is used in a way that harms other users or the Platform, or where required by law. Suspension or termination does not affect any rights or obligations that have already arisen, and does not create a right to compensation except to the extent provided by applicable law and by the Terms of Use.

9.1. The Platform may contain links to Third-Party Services, including external websites, videos, articles, and resources, and may embed or display content from Third-Party Services, including video players, maps, or other tools. Those links and content are provided for convenience and for additional learning, and do not mean that Eduplore endorses, approves, or has verified the Third-Party Service or its content.

9.2. Eduplore is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, security, or legality of any Third-Party Service. A user who follows a link to a Third-Party Service does so at their own risk, and is subject to the terms and privacy policy of that Third-Party Service. Parents and Guardians should supervise a Minor's use of any Third-Party Service reached through the Platform.

9.3. The Platform is distributed through the Google Play Store, and payments for Subscriptions and In-App Purchases may be processed through Google Play billing or another authorised payment system. Eduplore is not responsible for the operation of the Google Play Store, for Google's terms, for Google's billing system, or for any decision made by Google, except to the extent that Eduplore's own obligations under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and under the applicable terms of purchase apply. Users should read Google Play's terms and the payment processor's terms before making a purchase.

9.4. The Platform may use Third-Party Services for analytics, crash reporting, video delivery, content delivery, push notifications, and other functions. The use of those services is described in the Privacy Policy and in the Cookie Policy. Eduplore does not control the operation of those services, and is not responsible for their availability or for any failure on their part, except to the extent provided by applicable law.

9.5. Any reference on the Platform to a Board, a textbook publisher, a school, a government department, or any other organisation is for educational and identification purposes only. It does not mean that the organisation endorses Eduplore, that Eduplore is affiliated with the organisation, or that Eduplore is authorised by the organisation, unless the Platform expressly states otherwise and the statement is accurate at the time it is made.

9.6. Where Content includes a quotation, an excerpt, a diagram, or a reference to a textbook, a Board paper, or another source, the source is credited where practicable. The inclusion of such material is for educational purposes. It does not mean that the source endorses Eduplore, and it does not transfer any rights in the source material to Eduplore or to any user.

10.1. The Platform depends on the internet, on the user's device, on the operating system, on the Google Play Store, and on Third-Party Services. Eduplore does not warrant that the Platform will be available at all times, that it will work on every device or operating system version, that it will load at any particular speed, or that it will be free of bugs, errors, interruptions, or data loss.

10.2. Maintenance, updates, and upgrades may require the Platform to be unavailable for a period. Eduplore will take reasonable steps to schedule maintenance at times that minimise disruption, and to inform users where practicable, but it does not guarantee that maintenance will be announced in advance or that it will occur only at a particular time.

10.3. A Three-Dimensional Lab, a video, or another feature may require a device with sufficient processing power, memory, graphics support, screen size, and network bandwidth. Older devices, devices with limited storage, devices with outdated operating systems, and slow or unstable internet connections may experience reduced performance, incomplete rendering, or an inability to use a feature. Eduplore is not responsible for the performance of a user's device or internet connection.

10.4. Videos may be delivered in different qualities depending on network speed and device capability. A video may buffer, pause, or play at a lower quality when the network is slow. This is a normal characteristic of streaming video, and does not mean that the Content is defective.

10.5. Progress data, quiz scores, bookmarks, preferences, and other user data are stored as described in the Privacy Policy. Eduplore takes reasonable steps to protect that data, but it does not warrant that data will never be lost, corrupted, or temporarily unavailable as a result of a technical fault, a device fault, a network fault, or an action by a Third-Party Service. Users should keep their own records of important progress or results where needed for school purposes.

10.6. Eduplore may update the Application from time to time. A user may need to update the Application to the latest version to access new features, to receive corrections, or to continue using the Platform. Eduplore is not responsible for a user's failure to update the Application, or for the consequences of using an outdated version.

10.7. The Platform may not be available in every country, and may be subject to restrictions imposed by the Google Play Store, by a device manufacturer, or by law. Eduplore does not warrant that the Platform is lawful or available in any place outside India.

11.1. Some Content and features on the Platform may be available only after an In-App Purchase or a Subscription. The features included in a particular plan, the duration of access, and the terms of renewal, where applicable, will be described at the time of purchase, in the Platform, or in the Google Play Store listing.

11.2. Prices, where shown, are shown in the currency and amount displayed at the time of purchase. Eduplore does not make any representation in this Disclaimer about any specific price, and no price stated in any other document should be treated as fixed for all time. Prices may change, and any change will apply to future purchases, not to a purchase already completed, except where the terms of the purchase expressly provide otherwise.

11.3. Payment for an In-App Purchase or a Subscription is generally processed by Google Play billing or by another authorised payment processor. Eduplore does not store full payment card details, and is not responsible for the payment processor's operation, for a failed payment, or for a delay in processing, except to the extent provided by applicable law.

11.4. A Subscription may renew automatically where the user has chosen automatic renewal and where Google Play or the payment system provides for it. The user can manage or cancel automatic renewal through the Google Play Store account settings or through the settings provided by the payment system, as described in the Terms of Use. Cancellation of automatic renewal generally means that the Subscription will not renew at the end of the current period, and access will continue until the end of that period, unless the terms of the purchase state otherwise.

11.5. Refunds for In-App Purchases and Subscriptions are governed by Google Play's refund policy, by the terms of purchase, and by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, where applicable. A user who believes that a refund is due should first contact Google Play or the payment processor, and may also contact Eduplore through the contact details in Section 17. Eduplore will consider refund requests in accordance with applicable law and with its own refund terms, where published.

11.6. Eduplore does not guarantee that a particular course, laboratory, or feature will remain available for the whole duration of a Subscription, although it will take reasonable steps to provide the Content described at the time of purchase. If a material item of Content is withdrawn during a Subscription period, the user may contact Eduplore, and Eduplore will consider the matter in accordance with applicable law and with the terms of purchase.

11.7. A purchase made through a School, or a licence purchased by a School for its Students, is governed by the agreement between Eduplore and the School, in addition to the terms that apply to the individual user. The School is responsible for informing its Students and Parents about the scope of the licence, the duration of access, and any restrictions that apply.

12.1. Quizzes and assessments on the Platform are designed for practice, revision, and self-assessment. They are not Board examinations, not school examinations, and not a substitute for a formal assessment conducted by a school or Board. A quiz score is an indication of performance on that quiz at that time, not a formal grade.

12.2. Quiz questions, answer options, and explanations are prepared for teaching purposes. They may differ from the format, difficulty, or marking of a Board or school examination. Students should use quizzes to identify topics to revise, and should confirm their understanding with a teacher and with the prescribed textbook.

12.3. Progress analytics, including time spent, lessons completed, quiz scores, accuracy rates, strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations, are generated automatically from the Student's activity on the Platform. They are estimates based on the available data, and they may be incomplete if the Student also studies outside the Platform, if the Student uses more than one Account, if data is not synced, or if the Student's activity is not recorded for any reason.

12.4. Analytics and recommendations are provided to help the Student and, where applicable, the Teacher and Parent, to understand progress and to plan revision. They are not a diagnosis of a learning difficulty, not a psychological assessment, and not a substitute for a teacher's professional judgement. If a Teacher or Parent has a concern about a Student's learning, they should discuss it with the Student and, where appropriate, with the school.

12.5. Leaderboards, rankings, comparisons with other Students, and similar features, where provided, are based on the data available on the Platform at the time, and are for motivation only. They are not official rankings, not Board rankings, and not a measure of a Student's overall ability or future performance.

12.6. Eduplore does not warrant that quiz results, analytics, or recommendations will be accurate in every case, complete, or free of error. Data may be affected by technical issues, by incomplete syncing, by the use of multiple devices, or by the Student's own input. Users should treat analytics as a guide, not as a definitive statement.

13.1. Eduplore is used by Minors, and the protection of children is a central responsibility. This section summarises the approach to children on the Platform. The full detail is in the Privacy Policy, which should be read together with this Disclaimer. Where there is any difference, the Privacy Policy prevails on matters of Personal Data.

13.2. Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Personal Data of a Minor may be processed only with the verifiable consent of a Parent or Guardian, and Eduplore must not undertake tracking or behavioural monitoring of Minors, and must not direct advertising at Minors, except to the extent permitted by the Act and by any rules made under it. Eduplore will comply with those requirements, and with any guidance issued by the Data Protection Board of India.

13.3. A Parent or Guardian who gives consent on behalf of a Minor should ensure that the consent is informed, that the Parent or Guardian understands what Personal Data will be collected and why, and that the Minor understands, in age-appropriate language, what the Platform does and what the Minor should and should not share. Consent may be withdrawn as described in the Privacy Policy, subject to the consequences explained there.

13.4. Minors should not share personal information with strangers through the Platform, should not share passwords, one-time passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information, and should not upload photographs, videos, or other material that identifies them or their home, school, or family, unless a Teacher or Parent has expressly asked them to do so for a school purpose and the upload is made through a proper school channel.

13.5. Parents and Guardians should review the Platform's settings, should check which features are enabled for the Minor's Account, should discuss online safety with the Minor, and should encourage the Minor to report any content, message, or contact that makes the Minor feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or confused. Any such report should be made to a Parent or Guardian and to Eduplore through the contact details in Section 17, and, where the matter is serious, to the appropriate authority.

13.6. Teachers and Schools should use the Platform in a way that protects Minors, should not ask a Minor to share Personal Data beyond what is necessary for the educational purpose, should not use the Platform to contact a Minor outside school hours or outside the educational purpose without proper authorisation, and should follow the school's own child protection and safeguarding policies.

13.7. Eduplore does not knowingly collect Personal Data from a Minor without the verifiable consent of a Parent or Guardian. If Eduplore becomes aware that Personal Data has been collected from a Minor without such consent, it will take reasonable steps to delete that data, subject to any legal obligation to retain it, and will inform the Parent or Guardian where practicable.

13.8. The Content on the Platform is intended to be age-appropriate for students in Classes 8 to 10, and for the teachers and parents who support them. However, what is appropriate for one Student may not be appropriate for another, depending on age, maturity, and the guidance of the school and Parent. Parents and Teachers should review Content before assigning it to younger Students, and should use their judgement about whether particular Content is suitable.

13.9. Eduplore does not provide a general social network, a chat service for strangers, or a public forum for Minors to contact unknown persons. Where the Platform includes any communication feature, such as a message to a teacher, a class discussion, or a comment, that feature is intended for educational communication within a school or class context, and is subject to the Terms of Use and to supervision by the Teacher or School.

13.10. If you believe that a Minor is at risk, that a Minor has been contacted inappropriately, or that any Content on the Platform is harmful to a Minor, you should report it to Eduplore immediately through the contact details in Section 17, and, where appropriate, to the school, to a Parent or Guardian, and to the relevant authority. Eduplore will review the report promptly and will take reasonable steps in accordance with its policies and with applicable law.

14.1. Where the Platform allows a user to upload, submit, post, or share any material, including answers, comments, questions, assignments, photographs, or other content, the user is responsible for that material. The user must ensure that the material is lawful, that it does not infringe the rights of any other person, that it does not contain personal information about another person without that person's consent, and that it is appropriate for an educational platform used by Minors.

14.2. Eduplore does not pre-screen every item of user-generated content, and is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of material submitted by users. Eduplore may, in accordance with the Terms of Use and with the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, remove or disable access to material that breaches the Terms of Use, that is unlawful, or that is reported and found to breach the Terms of Use.

14.3. A user who submits material to the Platform grants Eduplore a licence to use that material for the purpose of providing the service, as described in the Terms of Use. That licence does not transfer ownership of the material to Eduplore, and does not give Eduplore the right to use the material for a purpose unrelated to the service, except as described in the Terms of Use and in the Privacy Policy.

14.4. Users must not use the Platform to bully, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm any other person, to share content that is obscene, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful, to impersonate any other person, to cheat in an examination, to share examination papers or answers in breach of Board or school rules, or to engage in any activity that disrupts the Platform or harms other users.

14.5. A Student who uses the Platform to cheat, to copy answers without understanding, or to misrepresent another person's work as their own is responsible for the consequences under the school's rules and under the Board's rules. Eduplore does not encourage cheating, and the provision of practice material is not an invitation to cheat.

15.1. The Content on the Platform, including videos, text, diagrams, illustrations, animations, three-dimensional models, simulations, quizzes, and software, is protected by copyright and by other intellectual property laws, except where the Content expressly states that it is in the public domain or is licensed under an open licence. The rights in the Content are owned by Eduplore or by its licensors, unless the Content expressly states otherwise.

15.2. A user may access and use the Content for personal, non-commercial learning, and a Teacher or School may use the Content for teaching within the scope of the licence or Subscription under which the Content is provided. A user must not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, rent, lend, or otherwise exploit the Content for commercial purposes, must not remove any copyright notice or attribution, and must not use the Content to create a competing service, except to the extent permitted by law or expressly permitted by Eduplore in writing.

15.3. The names Eduplore, the Eduplore logo, and any other trade marks, service marks, or branding used on the Platform are the property of Eduplore or of its licensors. A user must not use those marks without prior written permission, and must not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or authorisation where none exists.

15.4. Where Content includes a diagram, image, or model that is based on an open-source library, a public data source, or a third-party licensor, the applicable licence and attribution are retained, and the user's rights in that material are governed by that licence. The Platform will identify the source where practicable, and the user should comply with the terms of that licence when using the material outside the Platform.

15.5. A user who believes that Content on the Platform infringes their copyright or other intellectual property rights may report the matter to Eduplore through the contact details in Section 17, giving details of the work, the location of the allegedly infringing material, and evidence of ownership. Eduplore will review the report in accordance with applicable law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Copyright Act, 1957, and will take reasonable steps where the report is substantiated.

15.6. Nothing in this Disclaimer transfers any intellectual property right in the Platform, in the Content, or in any trade mark to any user. A user's licence to use the Platform is limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable in accordance with the Terms of Use.

16.1. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Eduplore's liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of the Platform, from any Content, from any Three-Dimensional Lab, from any quiz or assessment, from any technical failure, or from any other matter covered by this Disclaimer, is limited as set out in the Terms of Use.

16.2. Eduplore is not liable for any loss that results from a user's reliance on Content without verifying it against the prescribed textbook, syllabus, or teacher's instruction, for any loss that results from a user's decision to use a Three-Dimensional Lab or simulation as a substitute for medical advice, professional advice, or a real laboratory experiment, or for any loss that results from a user's failure to follow the guidance in this Disclaimer.

16.3. Eduplore is not liable for any loss caused by a Third-Party Service, by the Google Play Store, by a payment processor, by a network provider, by a device manufacturer, or by any other person or service outside the reasonable control of Eduplore, except to the extent that the loss is caused by Eduplore's own act or omission and the liability cannot be excluded by law.

16.4. Eduplore is not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of opportunity, or loss of reputation, except to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded by law, or to the extent provided in the Terms of Use.

16.5. A user who uses the Platform in breach of the Terms of Use, who submits unlawful content, who misuses the Platform, or who causes loss to Eduplore or to another user, may be liable to indemnify Eduplore to the extent provided in the Terms of Use and under applicable law. This section is a summary only, and the full indemnity provision is in the Terms of Use.

16.6. This Disclaimer, and any dispute arising from it or from the use of the Platform, is governed by the laws of India. The courts at the place where Eduplore's registered office is situated will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory provision of Indian law that gives jurisdiction to another court, including the consumer forum that has jurisdiction over the user's place of residence under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, where applicable.

16.7. If any provision of this Disclaimer is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be read as limited to the extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable, or, if it cannot be so limited, it will be severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

16.8. Nothing in this Disclaimer affects any right that a user has under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, under the Information Technology Act, 2000, or under any other law that cannot be excluded by agreement. Where a user is a consumer, the user's statutory rights are preserved, and this Disclaimer should be read subject to those rights.

18.1. Eduplore may update this Disclaimer from time to time, for example to reflect a change in the law, a change in the Platform, a change in the Content, a change in the Three-Dimensional Labs, or a change in Eduplore's practices. The updated version will be published on eduplore.in and, where practicable, inside the Application.

18.2. The Last Updated date at the top of this page will show the date on which the current version was last updated. Users should check this page periodically for changes. Continued use of the Platform after an update means that the user accepts the updated Disclaimer, subject to any rights the user has under applicable law.

18.3. Where a change is material, Eduplore will take reasonable steps to draw the user's attention to the change, for example by a notice on the Website or in the Application, or by an email to the email address associated with the Account, where the user has provided one and has not opted out of such notices.

18.4. If you do not agree with an updated version of this Disclaimer, you should stop using the Platform and, if you have an Account, you may close the Account in accordance with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. Any rights or obligations that arose before the update will continue to be governed by the version of the Disclaimer that was in force at the time.

19.1. This Disclaimer should be read together with the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and the Cookie Policy. Each policy covers a different subject, and together they explain how the Platform works, what Eduplore does with Personal Data, what cookies and similar technologies are used, and what the limits of the service are.

19.2. The Terms of Use explain the contract between you and Eduplore, the rules for using the Platform, the rules for Accounts, payments, Subscriptions, and the consequences of breaching the rules.

19.3. The Privacy Policy explains what Personal Data Eduplore collects, why it collects it, how it uses it, how long it keeps it, who it shares it with, how it protects it, and what rights you have, including the rights of Parents and Guardians on behalf of Minors under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

19.4. The Cookie Policy explains what cookies, local storage, software development kits, and similar technologies are used on the Website and in the Application, what they do, and how you can manage or delete them.

19.5. If you are a Student, you should read this Disclaimer with a Parent, Guardian, or Teacher, and ask them to explain any part that is unclear. If you are a Parent or Guardian, you should read this Disclaimer and the Privacy Policy before giving consent for a Minor to use the Platform. If you are a Teacher or a School administrator, you should read this Disclaimer and the Privacy Policy before enrolling Students, and you should keep a copy for your records.

19.6. If any part of this Disclaimer is unclear, you may contact Eduplore using the details in Section 17, and Eduplore will take reasonable steps to explain it. An explanation given by Eduplore does not change the terms of this Disclaimer, and does not create any new promise or guarantee.

20.1. By using Eduplore, you acknowledge that you have read this Disclaimer, that you understand that the Content is educational and illustrative, that the Three-Dimensional Labs are teaching aids and not medical or scientific advice, that examination outcomes are not guaranteed, that the Platform is provided on an as-is and as-available basis to the extent permitted by law, and that you will verify important information against your prescribed textbook, your syllabus, and your teacher's instruction.

20.2. Parents and Guardians acknowledge that they are responsible for supervising a Minor's use of the Platform, for giving informed consent where required, and for discussing online safety with the Minor. Teachers and Schools acknowledge that they are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Platform complies with the law, with the school's policies, and with the consent requirements that apply to Minors.

20.3. This Disclaimer is intended to be fair, clear, and helpful. It is not intended to prevent a user from exercising any legal right, and it should be read in a way that preserves the user's rights under Indian law.

21.1. This Annex gives practical examples of how the Disclaimer applies in everyday use. The examples are illustrative only, and they do not change the terms in Sections 1 to 20. If there is any difference between an example and a Section, the Section prevails.

21.2. Example for a Student. If a video lesson says that a particular answer is correct, the Student should still check the answer against the prescribed textbook and against what the teacher has taught. If the textbook gives a different answer, the Student should follow the textbook for the examination, and may report the difference to Eduplore so that the lesson can be reviewed.

21.3. Example for a Student using a Three-Dimensional Lab. If the Human Body laboratory shows the heart in a particular position, the Student should understand that the model is simplified for teaching. The Student should not use the model to judge whether a real person's heart is healthy, and should not use the Heart and ECG simulation to decide whether a person needs medical attention. Any health concern should be raised with a Parent and with a qualified medical professional.

21.4. Example for a Parent. If a Parent sees a progress report that shows a low quiz score, the Parent should treat the score as a prompt to discuss revision with the Student and with the teacher, not as a final judgement of the Student's ability. The Parent may also check whether the Student completed the quiz without revision, whether the Student was rushed, or whether the Student needs help with a particular topic.

21.5. Example for a Teacher. If a Teacher assigns a Three-Dimensional Lab as homework, the Teacher should explain the learning objective, should tell Students what to look for, and should follow up in class. The Teacher should not assume that completing the laboratory alone means that the Student has understood the topic, and should use class discussion and school assessment to check understanding.

21.6. Example for a School. If a School purchases licences for its Students, the School should inform Parents about the Platform, about the data that will be collected, and about how Parents can give or withdraw consent for a Minor. The School should keep a record of the consent given, and should have a process for answering questions from Parents about the Platform.

21.7. Example for a purchase. If a user purchases a Subscription and later finds that a particular course is not available on their device, the user should first check whether the Application needs an update, whether the device meets the requirements, and whether the network connection is working. If the problem continues, the user should contact Eduplore with details of the device and the course, so that the issue can be investigated.

21.8. Example for a technical problem. If a video buffers or a laboratory loads slowly, the cause may be a slow network, a busy server, or a device with limited memory. The user should try a stronger network connection, close other applications, or try again later. If the problem affects many users, Eduplore will take reasonable steps to restore the service, and will give information where practicable.

21.9. These examples are intended to help users apply the Disclaimer in practice. They are not a complete list of situations, and users should apply the principles in this Disclaimer to any new situation, and should contact Eduplore if they are unsure.
