1. Technology Platform Only
K-12 Safe is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform developed and operated by Altus Learning Private Limited to assist schools and educational institutions in organizing, tracking, monitoring and managing their statutory, regulatory and internal compliance obligations through digital workflows, reminders, templates, dashboards and reports.
K-12 Safe is a technology-enabled compliance facilitation platform. It is not a law firm, legal consultancy, regulatory authority or certification body and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, legal representation or statutory certification.
2. No Legal Advice
The information, templates, checklists, policies, workflows, reports, reminders and other content made available through this website or the K-12 Safe platform are provided solely for general information and compliance management purposes.
Nothing contained on this website or within the platform should be construed as legal advice, professional advice or a substitute for obtaining independent legal or professional consultation.
Users are encouraged to consult their own legal advisors or other qualified professionals before making decisions or taking action based on the information available through K-12 Safe.
3. Regulatory Updates
Indian laws, regulations, notifications, circulars, government advisories, regulatory directions, judicial pronouncements and regulatory interpretations are subject to amendment, modification, repeal and change from time to time.
Altus Learning Private Limited makes reasonable efforts to review and update the K-12 Safe platform on a regular basis to reflect significant legal and regulatory developments. However, due to the evolving nature of the law and the time required to analyse, interpret, validate and implement such changes, updates to the platform may not always be immediate.
Accordingly, Altus Learning Private Limited does not represent or warrant that the information, templates, workflows, checklists, alerts or compliance guidance available on the website or platform always reflect the most current legal position.
Users are solely responsible for verifying the latest applicable laws, rules, regulations, notifications, circulars, judicial pronouncements and regulatory requirements before relying upon any information available on the website or platform or before taking any compliance-related action.
In the event of any inconsistency between the content available on the K-12 Safe platform and any applicable law, statutory provision, government notification, circular, regulatory direction or judicial pronouncement, the applicable law or official regulatory instrument shall prevail.
The use of K-12 Safe does not relieve any user or institution of its independent obligation to monitor legal developments and ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Indian laws, regulations, notifications, circulars, guidelines, government advisories, judicial pronouncements and regulatory interpretations are subject to frequent amendments, revisions and changes.
Although K-12 Safe endeavours to update the platform and its compliance content on a regular basis, Altus Learning Private Limited does not warrant or guarantee that every legal or regulatory update will be reflected immediately upon its issuance.
Users are solely responsible for verifying the latest applicable legal position, regulatory requirements and official notifications before relying upon any information available on the website or platform or before taking any compliance-related action.

- filing statutory returns and disclosures within prescribed timelines;
- obtaining all necessary approvals, licences, permissions and consents;
- conducting inquiries, investigations and disciplinary proceedings in accordance with applicable laws; and
- ensuring that all data uploaded to the platform is accurate, complete and lawfully collected.
5. No Guarantee of Compliance
Use of K-12 Safe does not guarantee statutory compliance, successful inspections, favourable regulatory outcomes or protection from penalties, notices, litigation or enforcement actions.
Compliance ultimately depends upon the accuracy of the information provided by the user, timely actions taken by the institution and adherence to applicable legal requirements.
6. Limitation of Responsibility
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Altus Learning Private Limited shall not be liable for any loss, damage, penalty, prosecution, regulatory action, litigation, claim, expense or other consequence arising from:

7. No Professional Relationship
Accessing or using this website or the K-12 Safe platform does not create an advocate-client relationship, legal consultant-client relationship, fiduciary relationship or any other professional engagement between Altus Learning Private Limited and any user.
Professional legal, compliance or advisory services, if required, shall be governed only by a separate written agreement.
