Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 24th June, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering for the CFAC National Arts Olympiad (inclusive of Visual Arts, Dance, and Vocal Music streams) through our official website (www.cfac.in), the My CFAC mobile application, or the Institutional Portal, you (acting as the Parent, Legal Guardian, or Authorized Associated School) signify your absolute legal agreement to these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund & Cancellation Policy. You further grant explicit consent under TRAI regulations to receive transactional updates, admit cards, and notifications via WhatsApp and Email.

2. Eligibility & Submissions

  • Age Bracket & Calculation: The Olympiad is strictly open to students aged 4 to 18 years. Age is calculated down to the exact day; exceeding six months (by even one day) rounds the participant's age to the next consecutive year. The resulting group allocation is final and binding.

  • Age Verification & DPDP Compliance: Participants must voluntarily upload valid proof of age (e.g., Aadhaar Card, Passport, or Birth Certificate) during registration. By doing so, you explicitly authorize CFAC to extract and verify these details. To ensure data privacy, sensitive identity documents are secured using military-grade AES-256 encryption and are subject to automated deletion 30 days post-event. Submission of forged documentation will result in immediate disqualification.

  • Multi-Stream Protocol: Participants opting to enroll in multiple categories (e.g., Visual Arts and Dance) are strictly obligated to submit distinct, separate, and complete performances or artworks for each selected stream.

  • Originality & Integrity: All submitted artworks and performances must be the participant's original creation. Plagiarism, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for digital art generation, or the submission of pre-recorded/edited videos (where live recording is explicitly mandated) will lead to immediate and unappealable disqualification.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

While the participant rightfully retains the underlying copyright to their original artwork or performance, by submitting an entry, you legally grant CFAC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, and perpetual national license to use, display, reproduce, and publish the submission across our Virtual Galleries, official social media platforms, and promotional materials.

4. Evaluation & Jury Decision

All entries are rigorously evaluated by the official CFAC National Jury Panel. The decisions rendered by the jury are final, binding, and absolute. CFAC will not entertain any external requests for re-evaluation, detailed score breakdowns beyond the provided Assessment Report, or disputes regarding the finalized merit results.

5. Scholarships & Awards

Physical Dispatch & Logistics

Physical awards (Medals, Trophies, Certificates) will be dispatched directly to the residential address provided or the respective associated school. CFAC assumes no liability for misdelivery, loss, or return of awards resulting from incomplete or incorrect address details provided during registration.

Tax Deductions (TDS)

All distributed cash scholarships are strictly subject to applicable tax deductions under Indian government regulations. For instance, as per Section 194B of the Income Tax Act, applicable TDS will be deducted at the source for prize amounts exceeding ₹10,000.

KYC Verification

Scholarships will solely be disbursed via secure bank transfer (NEFT/RTGS) following a strict identity and document verification (KYC) process. Failure to provide valid KYC documentation within the stipulated timeframe will result in the immediate forfeiture of the scholarship amount.

6. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes or grievances arising out of the Olympiad proceedings shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in New Delhi.
