10. Payment Terms

If an enrolment is requested for any Course via the Site, Application, or Services, We will either pre-approve, confirm, or reject the enrolment request within the period of 7 days from the date of request for enrolment (‘Request Period’).

When We confirm an enrolment requested by a Student, Fincurious will send the Student an email, text message, or message via e-mail and the Application confirming such enrolment, depending on the selections you make via the Site, Application, and Services.
The Course Fees payable will be displayed to the Student before the Student sends an enrolment request to Fincurious. Upon receipt of the Student's enrolment request, Fincurious may initiate a pre-authorization and/or charge a nominal amount to the Student’s Payment Method pursuant to the Payments Terms. If a requested enrolment is cancelled (before any access is provided), any amounts collected by Fincurious will be refunded to such Student, depending on the selections the Student makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of the Student's Payment Method will be released, if applicable.
Fincurious will collect the Course Fees from Students at the time of the enrolment request.
You agree that no refund will be permitted in respect of access already provided and, in accordance with the cancellation policy reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Student to cancel the enrolment and (ii) refund to the Student that portion of the Course Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. In case the relevant Listing does not have a specified cancellation policy, the refund amount would be pro-rata to the unconsumed portion of the tuition.
You agree that Fincurious, through its Site or Application, would raise a system-generated invoice to the Student in relation to the Course for which the Student has enrolled or in relation to any kind of payment done, as per applicable laws. Fincurious will raise an invoice for the above, which shall be inclusive of all applicable Taxes.
You, as a Student, agree to pay the Course Fees for any enrolment requested, in connection with your Fincurious Account. Fincurious will collect the Course Fees pursuant to the Payments Terms.
Once your confirmed enrolment transaction is complete, you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed enrolment.
Any amount paid to the ATC by any student, Fincurious is not liable or responsible for the said amount, and the ATC is solely responsible for the same.
