Last updated: March 2026
Agreement to Terms
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of akashavhad.com (the “Site”) and any coaching services provided by Akash Avhad (“I”, “me”, “my”), a sole proprietor based in Princeton, NJ, United States.
By accessing the Site, booking a session, or enrolling in any coaching program, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site or purchase any services.
Services
I offer the following services through this Site:
- GMAT Performance Diagnostic: A 2-hour live 1-on-1 evaluation session conducted via Zoom
- 1-on-1 Performance Optimisation Program: Personalised GMAT coaching sessions conducted via Zoom
- Comprehensive GMAT Program: Structured GMAT coaching covering foundations through performance optimisation, conducted via Zoom
All sessions are conducted online via Zoom. A stable internet connection and a laptop or desktop computer are required. I reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice.
Booking and Payment
Performance Diagnostic
The Performance Diagnostic is booked and paid for through Calendly. Payment is processed by PayPal at the time of booking. Your booking is confirmed only after successful payment. A Zoom meeting link is sent to your email address immediately after booking confirmation.
Coaching Programs
Coaching program fees are discussed and agreed upon following the Performance Diagnostic. Payment terms, schedule, and structure are confirmed in writing before coaching commences. Payment is processed through PayPal unless otherwise agreed.
Accuracy of Information
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when booking or enrolling, including your name, email address, and GMAT preparation background. Providing false or misleading information may result in cancellation of your booking without refund.
Cancellation and Rescheduling
Performance Diagnostic — Cancellation
You may cancel your Performance Diagnostic booking and receive a full refund if the cancellation is made at least 48 hours before the scheduled session time. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the session are not eligible for a refund.
Performance Diagnostic — Rescheduling
You may reschedule your Performance Diagnostic using the link provided in your confirmation email, subject to availability. Rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session time.
Coaching Program Sessions
Individual coaching sessions may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in the session being counted as completed.
Cancellation by Me
In the unlikely event that I need to cancel a session, I will notify you as soon as possible and offer a full rescheduling at no additional cost. If rescheduling is not possible, a full refund will be issued.
Refund Policy
Performance Diagnostic
A full refund is available if cancellation is made at least 48 hours before the scheduled session. No refund is available for cancellations made less than 48 hours before the session or for no-shows.
Fee Credit: If you enrol in a coaching program following the Performance Diagnostic, the full diagnostic fee is credited toward your program fees. The diagnostic fee is not separately refundable once applied as a credit.
Coaching Programs
Once coaching has commenced — defined as the completion of the first coaching session following program enrolment — no refunds are available on coaching program fees already paid. For programs paid in instalments, you are not obligated to pay for future instalments if you choose to discontinue, but fees already paid are non-refundable.
If I am unable to continue providing coaching due to circumstances on my end, a pro-rated refund for unused prepaid sessions will be issued.
