External Links
Our pages may link to official NIOS portals, government websites, educational resources, advertisers and other third parties. External websites are controlled by their operators, and their content, security, availability and privacy practices may change.
A link does not automatically mean endorsement. Verify the destination before providing information or making a payment, and use official NIOS links for official actions.
Advertising
The website may display third-party advertising, including through Google AdSense. Advertising may help support our free content, but an advertisement does not mean that OpenStudyInfo endorses or guarantees the advertiser, product or service.
Advertisers are responsible for their claims, products, services and privacy practices. Review them independently before sharing information, paying or purchasing anything. Do not use invalid, automated or fraudulent ad interactions. We do not ask or encourage visitors to click advertisements.
Privacy and Cookies
Our Privacy Policy explains how information may be handled, including visitor communications, server logs, technical data, cookies, advertising technologies, privacy choices, data security and privacy requests. Please read it alongside these Terms.
Website Availability and Changes
For operational, editorial, legal, safety or security reasons, we may update, correct or remove content; change design or navigation; add or discontinue features; restrict access temporarily for maintenance; or suspend part of the website when reasonably necessary.
We do not guarantee permanent, uninterrupted, secure or error-free availability.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The website and its content are provided on an “as available” and general-information basis. OpenStudyInfo does not guarantee complete accuracy, immediate updates, uninterrupted availability, specific academic or official outcomes, or the reliability of third-party websites and advertisements.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded. Please also read our Disclaimer.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, OpenStudyInfo is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on outdated or incomplete information without official verification, missed official deadlines, third-party websites, advertiser dealings, website interruptions, external security problems or treating general guidance as official advice.
Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Responsibility for Misuse
A visitor may be responsible for reasonable losses or claims resulting from unlawful misuse of the website, infringement of intellectual property or a deliberate serious breach of these Terms. This does not apply to ordinary browsing or honest mistakes.
Restriction of Access
Access may be limited or blocked when reasonably necessary to address security attacks, unlawful activity, automated abuse, serious violations of these Terms or threats to the website or other visitors.
The website does not provide user accounts, so this provision does not concern account termination.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of India. Disputes will be subject to courts or authorities having competent jurisdiction under applicable law.
Severability and No Waiver
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue where legally possible. A delay in enforcing a provision does not automatically waive the right to enforce it later.
Related Policies
These pages should be read together. If an unavoidable conflict relates specifically to personal information, the Privacy Policy will govern how that information is handled. These documents do not override rights provided by applicable law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when website features, editorial or operational practices, advertising services, laws or policy requirements change. The latest revision date will appear at the top of this page.
Continued use after an update means acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
