Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and 25X Academy when you use our websites or buy one of our programs. Please read them before you pay. Our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy are part of these terms.

1. Who we are

  • Email: hi@25xacademy.com

“We” and “us” mean 25X Academy. “You” means the person who uses our websites or buys a program. If you buy for a company, you confirm you’re allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. What we offer

25X Academy teaches people to use AI in their own business: to build business tools, win customers, save time and create products. Our programs include:

Corporate training, keynotes and custom work As agreed The proposal or agreement applies

The checkout page for each program shows its price, schedule, inclusions and access period. What it shows at the time you pay is part of your agreement with us.

3. Who can buy

You must be 18 or older and able to enter a contract under Indian law. Please give accurate details when you buy, especially your email and WhatsApp number, because that’s where your access and links go.

4. Prices and payment

  • Prices are in Indian Rupees and include GST unless the page says “+ GST”.
  • Payments are processed by Razorpay through our checkout at app.25xacademy.com. We never see your card or UPI details.
  • You’ll receive a GST invoice by email.
  • Founding prices. Some programs have a founding price for a limited number of members, for example the first 1,000. The page shows how many places the founding price covers and the price that applies after that. When the founding places are filled, the later price applies to new buyers.
  • If a program is offered at a different price before or after your purchase, that alone doesn’t entitle you to a refund or a difference.
  • No hidden charges. The amount on the checkout page is the full amount you pay.
  • For instalment plans, the plan’s schedule is shown before you pay. You agree to pay each instalment on time. If you miss one, we may pause access until it’s paid. We’ll remind you first.

5. Live sessions

  • Live sessions run on Zoom at the times shown on the program page, in Indian Standard Time.
  • If we must reschedule a session, we’ll tell you by email or WhatsApp as early as we can.
  • Some sessions are recorded. Whether you get access to recordings depends on the program (see section 2). The ₹99 workshop doesn’t include recordings.
  • Please don’t record, screenshot or share sessions without our written permission.
  • Clips showing you are used in our marketing only with your written consent (see our Privacy Policy).
  • Be respectful to other attendees. We may remove anyone who disrupts a session or community.

6. Access periods and “Lifetime”

  • Each program’s access period is shown on its checkout page.
  • If no period is shown, access lasts 1 year from your purchase.
  • “Lifetime” (Diamond Lifetime) means access to the BuildAlong Hub content, community and live sessions included in your plan for as long as 25X Academy runs BuildAlong Hub, and in any case for at least 7 years from your purchase. If we ever close BuildAlong Hub, we’ll give you at least 3 months’ notice and the option to download the core course materials to keep forever.
  • We improve and update our content over time. Updates can replace older lessons, but won’t reduce the overall value of what you bought.

7. Your tools are yours

What you build during our programs, such as your business tools, apps, prompts, websites and content, belongs to you. You can use it in your business or sell it. We don’t claim any ownership of it.

You’re responsible for what you build and how you use it, including:

  • Following the law that applies to your tool. For example, if your tool collects your customers’ personal data, you are the Data Fiduciary for that data under the DPDP Act, and need your own privacy notice and consent.
  • The terms and costs of the third-party tools you use (for example Lovable, ChatGPT, Claude or hosting providers). These are separate from our fees, unless we say they’re included.
  • Checking your tool works correctly before you rely on it or sell it.

8. Our materials

Our lessons, recordings, slides, prompts, templates, frameworks (including the RAO method), bonuses and the 25X Academy and VibeCoding77 names and logos belong to us or our licensors.

When you buy a program, we give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the materials for your own learning and in your own business. For example, you can use our prompts to build your tools. You may not:

  • share your login or access with anyone else,
  • resell, republish or upload the materials,
  • teach our programs or materials to others as a course or training of your own,

unless we agree in writing.

9. Communities

Our WhatsApp communities and groups are for learning and support. No spam, no selling to other members without their consent, and no harassment. We may remove anyone who breaks these rules. In discussion groups, other members can see your phone number. See our Privacy Policy.

10. No guarantee of results

  1. We do not guarantee any result. We teach skills, methods and tools. We do not promise or guarantee any income, revenue, profit, customers, leads, savings, funding, job, business growth, or the success of any app, tool or business you build or run.
  2. Results vary from one student to the next. What you achieve depends on many things that are yours or outside our control, including your effort and time, your skills, your idea, your business and market, the tools and platforms you use, and economic conditions. Many students will see smaller results than any example we show, and some may see no financial result at all.
  3. Examples and case studies are not typical results. Demos, examples, student stories and case studies on our websites, ads, sessions and materials (including our “Real Vibe-Coding Success Case-Studies”) show what is possible, not what you should expect. Case studies about founders who are not 25X Academy students are based on what those founders or their platforms have publicly reported. We have not verified their figures, those founders are not connected with 25X Academy, and their results are not results of our programs.
  4. Not professional advice. Nothing in our programs or materials is financial, investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Take your own advice before you make business, money or legal decisions.
  5. Certificates show that you completed a program. They aren’t a professional qualification.

11. Ending access

  • You can stop using a program at any time. Refunds follow our Refund Policy.
  • We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, for example by sharing your login, copying our materials, abusing other members, or obtaining access by fraud. Where reasonable, we’ll warn you first and give you a chance to fix it.
  • If we end a program or your access without a reason of this kind, you’ll get a refund as set out in our Refund Policy.

12. Limitation of liability

  1. We deliver our programs with reasonable care and skill.
  2. Your decisions are yours. You are responsible for the decisions you make and for what you build, launch, sell or invest in, including how your tools handle customer data, payments and legal requirements.
  3. We are not responsible for your losses. To the fullest extent the law allows, 25X Academy (JOHN V J VENTURES) is not liable for any loss or damage arising from or connected with our programs, materials, sessions, communities or websites, including:
    • loss of income, revenue, profit, business, customers, contracts, opportunity, savings or goodwill;
    • loss of or damage to data, or costs of your own tools, subscriptions, advertising or hiring;
    • losses caused by third-party tools and platforms (such as AI models, app builders, hosting or payment services), your internet connection or your device;
    • losses from how you use what you learn or build; and
    • any indirect or consequential loss.
  4. Maximum liability: a refund of the fees you paid. If we are found liable to you for any reason, whether under contract, negligence or otherwise, our total liability for all claims connected with a program is limited to the fees you actually paid us for that program (less any amount already refunded). We will not pay more than that.
  5. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for fraud or wilful misconduct, or any right you have that the law doesn’t allow us to limit or exclude, including your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

13. Complaints and disputes

  1. Please contact us first. Our Grievance Officer is V John Jayakumar, hi@25xacademy.com, +91 98402 14894, D1, Dev Apts, 68, 2nd Main Road, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar, Chennai 600020, Tamil Nadu. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within one month.
  2. If we can’t resolve it, these terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts in Chennai, Tamil Nadu have jurisdiction.
  3. This doesn’t take away your right to approach a Consumer Commission or the National Consumer Helpline (1915 or consumerhelpline.gov.in).

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The new version applies from the date shown at the top. Changes won’t take away anything you’ve already paid for. If a change materially affects a program you bought, we’ll tell you in advance by email or WhatsApp.

  • Events beyond our control (such as a platform outage, a natural disaster, illness or government orders): we’ll reschedule or offer an alternative as soon as possible. If we can’t, the Refund Policy applies.
  • If any part of these terms is found invalid, the rest still applies.
  • These terms, the Privacy Policy, the Refund Policy and what the checkout page showed when you paid are the whole agreement between us for that program. For the Startup Intensive and corporate work, the written agreement also applies.
  • These terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and don’t need a signature.
