The terms, plainly stated.
By signing up for The Founders' Web you agree to the following. The terms are written in plain English on purpose — the cohort is built on careful reading.
Eligibility
The Founders' Web — Cohort 01 is open to students of Class 9 to Class 12. By submitting the sign-up form, you confirm that the parent or guardian named on the form has consented to the student's participation and has read these terms alongside them.
The programme
- Ten consecutive evenings, online, 6:00 – 7:30 PM IST
- Live participation; recordings are not provided in lieu of attendance
- An optional Day 11 Build-off — rules published separately on the day
- The Certificate of Completion is awarded to students who attend all ten sessions live
We reserve the right to make minor adjustments to the syllabus or schedule (for example, swapping the order of two days) where doing so improves the cohort. Material changes are communicated by email in advance.
Tuition
- INR 2,500, all-inclusive, payable at sign-up
- Processed via Cashfree Payments; standard payment-gateway charges (where applicable) are included in the amount shown at checkout
- No tiers, no upsells, no add-ons
Conduct
While enrolled, students agree to:
- Attend the live sessions and stay engaged for the duration
- Treat the instructor, fellow students, and any guests with respect
- Not redistribute course materials, recordings, or the Build-off brief outside the cohort
- Build their own work — AI assistance is taught and welcomed; copy-paste plagiarism is not
Persistent breaches may result in removal from the cohort without refund. We have no expectation that this will need to happen; it is here for completeness.
Intellectual property
The student owns the websites they build during the programme. Source code, design, and content remain theirs. We may, with permission, link to a student's deployed work as a featured cohort build — we will not republish it or claim it as our own.
The course materials (lecture slides, written notes, the Day 11 Build-off brief, instructor commentary) remain the property of The Founders' Web and are licensed for personal study only. Please do not redistribute them.
The Day 11 Build-off
- Optional — the cohort certificate is awarded on Day 10 regardless
- One brief released on the morning of Day 11; ten hours to ship
- Considered judging by the instructor
- Three featured builds per cohort, each receiving a trophy and a hand-packed parcel by post — a printed plaque, a small memento, and a tin of chocolates
- The parcels are gifts; no cash equivalent is offered
- Featured builds may be linked from the cohort archive on this site, with the student's permission
Refunds
Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy. In short: a full refund is available before Day 1; tuition is non-refundable once the cohort has begun.
Limitation of liability
The programme is provided as is. We do not promise specific outcomes — college admissions, internships, prize wins, employment, or otherwise. Where things go wrong, our aggregate liability is limited to the tuition the student has paid for the cohort.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising from the programme or these terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Hisar, Haryana — the location of The Founders' Web' registered office.
