Welcome to the Asian School of Design and Applied Vastu (ASDAV). By accessing our courses or workshops, or participating in any of our programs, you agree to comply with the following Terms & Conditions. These terms outline your responsibilities as a learner, our policies regarding enrollment, conduct, payments, certifications, and use of content.
ASDAV delivers education through a combination of live classes, assignments and practical projects; recordings are considered case by case. We expect learners to maintain professional conduct, complete course requirements, and respect intellectual property. Payment policies, access to resources, use of third-party tools, and refund eligibility are clearly defined in this document. Participation in workshops, masterclasses, and online learning also follows specific guidelines.
We are committed to data privacy and reserve the right to revise these terms at any time. Please read the following sections carefully before enrolling or accessing our services.
