User Content

How ClassroomO Works
Institute Registration
To use the Services, the institute needs to register on the site, and obtain an account and password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account(s), and password(s) and for all activities and liabilities associated with or occurring under your account(s), and password(s).

Subscription Model
ClassroomO provides platform usage to institutions using a License-based subscription model. The institute picks one license per course. If the institute has multiple courses, then corresponding licenses need to be purchased.
Institute has the option to pick any of the following license types, based on yearly hours of live classes and associated cost.
Scheduling of Sessions
Institute admin can access the institute dashboard to review the purchased license. The institute admin can connect a teacher to a corresponding course in the institute dashboard. The institute admin has the capability to schedule recurring sessions for a course. The information of students who have purchased the course will be visible on the dashboard.
Student Subscription
Students register themselves on ClassroomO website and get their own account and password. Students pick the institute and course from the available list to get connected with the teacher/institute of their interest. Students can see the scheduled sessions on their dashboard and are able to attend the live class using the provided link. Students can view session recordings on their dashboard itself for the whole year. Students are not allowed to share their credentials with anyone, allow someone else to attend the class on their behalf or share the institute’s study material with others.
Pricing
ClassroomO charges the institute based on license type chosen from the available options. The license purchase enables the institute to use the allotted number of hours of live classes as per their need within the year. If the institute has consumed its allotted hours and needs some extra hours to complete the classes within the same year, ClassroomO has the option to upgrade the license type.
Students purchase the institute course from ClassroomO using our secure payment gateway. The institute controls the course fees and ClassroomO has no control over this. However; ClassroomO deducts a commission from the fees paid by students for every purchase. ClassroomO platform deposits the course fee (after commission deduction) to the institute’s bank account directly. Students get receipts for the commission portion from ClassroomO’s India partner company Stomata Infotech Pvt Ltd.
Institute will bear the payment gateway charges on the payment done by the student.
Taxing
The institute is responsible for filing tax for its received amount after deduction, while ClassroomO is responsible for filing tax for the deducted commission amount.
Refunds
Students must contact the institute directly for any refund request, as it is the institute’s responsibility to entertain any such requests. However, the commission portion of the course fee (charged by ClassroomO) is non-refundable.
The license fee charged by ClassoomO to the institute is non-refundable, even if the institute decides to discontinue the course during the middle of the year.
