Terms & Conditions

DropOuts Personalized Learning — Platform Agreement

Last Updated: August 2026
Welcome to DropOuts Personalized Learning. By accessing our website (www.dropoutspl.com) and purchasing our services, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before enrolling or making any purchase.
01

The DropOuts Credit System & Expiry Policy

DropOuts Credits (DC) Scope

DropOuts Credits (DC) act as platform currency. DC can be redeemed for Course Credits (CC), Job Placement assistance, or Interview Preparation services. Raw DC holds an active validity of one (1) year from the date of purchase.

Course Credits (CC) Conversion & Clock Start

When DC is converted into Course Credits (CC) for specific live learning hours, the expiration clock starts immediately upon purchase confirmation. Before completing the checkout, students must explicitly confirm agreement to the dynamic validity window calculated for their batch.

Dynamic Expiry Formula & Proportional Model

Expiration for Course Credits (CC) is calculated proportionally at a rate of 1 Week per 1 CC. There is no maximum cap on validity duration; validity extends strictly according to the volume of credits held:

Validity Formula
Validity Period = Total Converted Course Credits (CC) × 1 Week
  • 1 Course Credit (CC) = Must be utilized within 1 Week
  • 10 Course Credits (CC) = Must be utilized within 10 Weeks
  • 40 Course Credits (CC) = Must be utilized within 40 Weeks
ℹ Proportional Scaling: Expiry scales proportionally with credit volume without an arbitrary ceiling.
Pause & Freeze Privileges

To accommodate personal or academic emergencies, students are permitted a maximum 2-week freeze/pause window per active Course Credit bundle. The pause request must be submitted via the Student Portal or official support email in advance.

Rollover & FIFO Rules

All credit consumption operates under a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) structure. If new Course Credits are purchased prior to the expiration of an existing active batch, remaining active credits will be utilized first. The expiration countdown for the newly acquired CC batch will commence after the previous batch's cycle completes.

Platform & Instructor Delay Adjustments

If session schedules are disrupted, delayed, or canceled due to instructor unavailability or internal DropOuts operations, the expiration clock will be automatically paused and extended by the exact duration of the delay.

Credit Conversion & Mis-purchase Exceptions

Converted Course Credits (CC) cannot be directly transferred to other course subjects or converted back into DC under standard conditions. However, if a student accidentally selects the wrong course during checkout, they may open a support ticket. Upon verification, DropOuts management will manually revert the CC back to DC so the student can re-select the correct course.

Automated Alerts & Notifications

Students will receive automated notifications and reminders via email and their portal dashboard regarding active countdowns, mid-cycle utilization progress (50% elapsed), and warnings at 7 days and 3 days prior to credit expiration.

Refund Policy
All purchases are strictly non-refundable. We encourage students to purchase a single credit ($10) for evaluation before committing to larger amounts.

02

Attendance, Cancellation & Instructor Absence Policy

Student Absence

If a student cancels or misses a session without at least 12 hours' prior notice, the credit for that hour will be deducted. The instructor will, however, record the lecture and provide the video link to the student as a courtesy.

Medical & Emergency Exemptions
In verified cases of natural disasters or medical emergencies (documented with valid medical proof), no credits will be deducted and the session will be rescheduled at no penalty.
Instructor Absence & Operational Buffer

If an instructor misses a scheduled session without prior notice, DropOuts will attempt to provide a qualified replacement within 24 hours. If no replacement can be arranged, the student will receive a free makeup class plus one (1) extra bonus credit as compensation.

Punctuality & Grace Period

A maximum grace period of fifteen (15) minutes is allowed for both students and instructors to join a live session. If a student fails to join within 15 minutes, the session is marked as a no-show and the credit is deducted.


03

Operational, Privacy & Security Policies

Age Restriction & Minor Policy

DropOuts offers services for various age brackets. If the student is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must review, accept, and sign off on these Terms & Conditions on the student's behalf.

Account Freezing & Pause Limits

Account credit freezing is governed strictly by the 2-week emergency pause policy outlined in Section 1. Any extended leave beyond standard parameters must be requested in writing and approved by management on a case-by-case basis.

Direct Contact Ban
🚫 Sharing personal contact details (WhatsApp, personal phone numbers, social media handles, etc.) between students and instructors is strictly prohibited. All communication, scheduling, and file sharing must occur through official DropOuts channels — Discord, official email, or the Student Portal.
NDA & Platform Bypass Termination

Instructors found bypassing the platform will face immediate termination under their signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Students attempting to bypass the platform or privately solicit instructors will face permanent account suspension without a refund.

Identity Verification & Recording Consent

Account sharing is prohibited — only the registered student may attend sessions. DropOuts reserves the right to request identity verification (Passport or Government-issued ID) upon detection of suspicious activity. DropOuts also reserves the right to monitor and review recorded sessions internally for quality assurance and training purposes.


04

Conduct & Technical Requirements

Zero-Tolerance Behavior Policy
DropOuts enforces a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, abusive language, or discrimination based on gender, religion, race, or nationality. Any violation will result in immediate account termination without a refund.
Technical Liability

It is the student's sole responsibility to maintain a stable internet connection and secure the necessary software (Google Meet, Zoom, or Discord). DropOuts is not liable for credits lost due to student-side technical malfunctions, power outages, or connectivity issues.

Educational Disclaimer
📋 DropOuts is a training and educational platform. All methodologies, labs, and tools taught — especially in Cybersecurity and AI domains — are for educational use only. DropOuts is not legally or financially liable for any real-world technical damages, system breaches, or data losses resulting from the student's independent actions outside the training environment.

05

Intellectual Property

Ownership of Materials

All study materials, PDFs, lab manuals, custom curriculum architectures, and recorded sessions are the exclusive intellectual property of DropOuts Personalized Learning. These assets are provided under a limited, non-transferable Student License for personal educational use only.

Prohibited Actions
🚫 Distribution, resale, duplication, or unauthorized sharing of any DropOuts materials is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate legal action under applicable copyright and IP law.

06

Career & Market Readiness Services

Service Scope

Credits may be redeemed for specialized career acceleration services including ATS-friendly resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, and live interview preparation — all found on our Services Page.

Limitation of Liability — Job Placement
📋 While DropOuts provides top-tier professional toolkits, strategies, and mentorship, the final outcome of any job application, recruitment screening, or interview depends entirely on the student's own performance. DropOuts does not guarantee employment or placement outcomes and carries no financial or legal liability regarding the student's job search results.

07

Referral Program

Bonus Structure

Active students can earn between 10% to 25% in bonus credits for successful peer referrals. The exact percentage depends on the specific course tier or service selected by the referred individual.

Payout & Issuance Policy

Referral credits are officially generated and issued only after the referred student's enrollment payment has been successfully processed, verified, and cleared by our payment gateway. Bonus credits are added directly to the referring student's Credit balance.

Cash Conversion
Referral credits are non-refundable and cannot be converted to cash under standard terms. Any special conversion arrangements require prior written approval from management.

08

Payments, Gateway Disputes & Amendments

Payment Verification

In the event of payment gateway failures, transaction drops, or connection timeouts, the student must provide formal Proof of Payment (bank receipts, statement screenshots, or transaction IDs) to [email protected].

Dispute Resolution Timeline
DropOuts requires a mandatory window of at least one (1) week to investigate, coordinate with financial partners, and resolve transactional disputes, double deductions, or payment gateway anomalies.
Right to Amend

DropOuts reserves the right to modify these terms, credit valuations, pricing structures, and curriculum at any time. Notice of major structural changes will be broadcast to all active students via email fifteen (15) days prior to deployment.

Termination Right
DropOuts reserves the absolute right to terminate platform access immediately, without a refund, for any activities deemed fraudulent, illegal, or in repeated violation of these operational policies.
