The Candidate guarantees that all information provided in their enrolment form is complete,
accurate and up-to-date.
Applicability
Notwithstanding any other written agreement, these T&C are applicable to each agreement
between the Parties and all services, whatsoever or howsoever. The Client has read and
approved these T&C. IIG reserves the right to change the T&C at any given time. In case of
conflict between these T&C and any other written agreement, the latter will prevail. The Client
accepts the T&C without any prejudice, and with the exclusion of the Client’s own terms and
conditions even when communication at a later date.
Payment
The undersigned agrees to pay 100% fees at the time of enrolment which has to be paid one week
before the course begins. Please note that the fees are non-refundable or non-transferable
under any circumstances.

Applicable fees for the Training Courses are those indicated in the latest IIG brochure,
excluding taxes, as amended from time to time.
Attendance
75% attendance is compulsory for the students to avail the credentials of the particular program.
Twelve days leave is permitted provided an email is sent to management and the faculty. If a
long leave is required, the permission for the same needs to be taken through IIG official mail
info@iigiindia.com. If the rules and regulations of the institute are not adhered to by the
student, he or she will not get the course completion certificate.
Discipline
The class room discipline needs to be maintained. If the classes are disrupted, strict action will
be taken.
Consequences of Misconduct
IIG reserves itself the right to refuse a candidate to enter into the classroom or to ask the
candidate to leave the classroom in case of “misconduct” as there is (but not limited):
aggression, theft, drunkenness, poor hygiene, indecency, disrespectful behaviour towards other
candidates and/or the teacher, etc. Depending on the situation and the severity of the facts, the
suspension can be for the entire duration of the course. This is the unilateral decision of IIG.
In any such case (a temporary suspension or a suspension of the entire duration of the course)
IIG is not due to refund neither any course fees nor any related costs.
Force Majeure and Hardship
In case performance of the agreement is hindered by any situation of Force Majeure (“Force
Majeure”) such performance shall be suspended. Force Majeure includes all situations wherein
the performance of the agreement by IIG is, in whole in part, temporary or not, hindered by
circumstances outside of the control of IIG, even when such situation was foreseeable at the
start of the Agreement. IIG is not obligated to evidence the unforeseeable or uncontrollable
nature of the circumstance of Force Majeure. The Parties will, in such case, take all reasonable
steps to limit the consequences of the situation of Force Majeure. In case the situation exceeds
a period of two months, the Client has the right to terminate the agreement with immediate
effect, without the obligation to reimburse IIG. In case of fundamental changes of the
circumstances and/or conditions, not due to any Party and which gravely influences the
performance of the contractual obligation of any Party, both Parties agree to renegotiate the
terms of the agreement in order to find an amicable settlement and continue the agreement.
Parties will strive for a comparable balance between the parties as was in existence at the start
of the agreement. In case the Parties cannot reach a consensus, the Parties will appoint a joint
expert who will verify if such conditions or changes occurred. When no amicable settlement can
be reached within one month after one party has requested such settlement by registered written
notice, the latter has the right to initiate legal proceedings.
Use of Pictures and Video Material
Candidates agree to the use of photographic materials (pictures and videos) for promotional
purposes of IIG on the internet, social media, in newsletters and other media outlets after the
completion of the Training Course. Candidates have the right to object by sending a written
notification of the objection to IIG by email to info@iigiindia.com.
Severability
When any of the articles, in whole or in part, of these T&C, are unenforceable or otherwise in
conflict with any mandatory legal provision, the validity and enforceability of the remaining
articles of these T&C shall not be affected. The invalidity of any one clause will not result in
the invalidity of the entire agreement between both parties. Parties agree to replace any invalid
clause with a valid clause or clauses which will correspond with the intention of the parties
and the spirit of the agreement, as much as possible.
Law and Jurisdiction
All agreements to which these T&C apply, including all other agreements resulting therefrom,
will be solely subject to Indian law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Mumbai.
Loss or Damage of Property
Damage of instruments or loss of precious stones will be payable by the students.
