If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country to use Billion Learners.

You need an account for most activities on our Website, including to purchase and access content or to submit content for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and Billion Learners will not intervene in disputes between Learners or Instructors who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.

Learners and Instructors must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on Billion Learners and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a Billion Learners account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit content for publication on Billion Learners.

You can terminate your account at any time by following the steps here. Check our Privacy Policy to see what happens when you terminate your account.

When you enroll in a course or other content, you get a license from us to view it via the Billion Learners Services and no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell content in any way. We generally grant you a lifetime access license or as long as our platform exists to operate, except when we must disable the content because of legal or policy reasons or for enrollments via Subscription Plans.

Under our Instructor Terms, when Instructors publish content on Billion Learners, they grant Billion Learners a license to offer a license to the content to Learners. This means that we have the right to sublicense the content to enrolled Learners. As a Learner, when you enroll in a course or other content, whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from Billion Learners to view the content via the Billion Learners Website and Services, and Billion Learners is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the content in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the content and sharing it on torrent sites).

In legal, more complete terms, Billion Learners grants you (as a Learner) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with the particular content or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any content unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a Billion Learners authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

We generally give a lifetime access license to our Learners when they enroll in a course or other content. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates our Trust & Safety Guidelines. This lifetime access license does not apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content you enroll in. For example, Instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the Instructor. Individual Instructor may have their independent terms or access condition depending upon their service package, which may vary to our standard terms. Hence, learners are advised to buy services as per the terms and conditions published on this Website and any specific terms specified by the Instructor for their own learning material.

Instructors may not grant licenses to their content to Learners directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and a violation of these Terms.

When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid payment method.

The Pricing Policy for Instructors on Billion Learners are determined based on our Pricing Plan. For Pricing plan please write to contact@billionlearners.com. Our Business development team will contact you.

Learners can purchase applicable content directly from the site as per the price defined by the instructor.

We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content (at checkout). Any price offered for particular content may also be different when you are logged into your account from the price available to users who aren’t registered or logged in, because some of our promotions are available only to new users.

Currently the pricing currency is only in Indian Rupees. In case you are based outside India and want to purchase content in other currency; please reach out to our sales team at contact@billionlearners.com.

You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (such as direct debit, or mobile wallet) for those fees. BillionLearners works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure.

When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within seven (7) days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.

We believe you will need some time to use our service and get acquainted. And in case you are not happy; you should get your money refunded.

Anyone can use Billion Learners to create and publish content and Instructors and we enable Instructors and Learners to interact for teaching and learning. Like other Websites where people can post content and interact, some things can go wrong, and you use Billion Learners at your own risk.

Our Website model means we do not review or edit the content for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of content.

We would strictly advise Instructors to ensure that they do not use our platform in a way that may conflict with the laws of the land or may hurt the sentiments of the larger mass in general. As we don’t own the content, we cannot be held accountable for the content published by the Instructor.

Even if we are delayed in exercising our rights or fail to exercise a right in one case, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future.

If there’s a dispute, our Support Team is happy to help resolve the issue.

Either of us can bring a claim in court in Bhubaneswar, Odissa, India; as long as it qualifies to be brought in that court.

This means: neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action or as a PIL (Public Interest Litigation).
