Legal Notice, Fair Use & Academic Ethics

1. Educational Nominative Fair Use (Indian Copyright Act, 1957)

All institutional emblems, crests, logos, and trademarks displayed across Gradedeck are the intellectual property of their respective schools, educational societies, trusts, or regulatory boards.

Under Section 52(1)(a) and Section 52(1)(h) of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, fair dealing with any work for private or personal use, research, criticism, or in the course of instruction does not constitute copyright infringement. School emblems are indexed solely to enable enrolled high school students to identify their respective institutions and format mandatory coursework cover pages accurately.

2. Non-Commercial Distribution of School Emblems

Gradedeck does not sell, license, or monetize institutional emblems or logos. All school crest files (PNG and vector SVG formats) are accessible 100% free of charge for individual student use.

Any monetary fee charged on this website applies exclusively to:

• Technical typography, grid calibration, and document margin formatting in Microsoft Word and PDF file formats.
• Original macroeconomic, marketing, and accounting survey research, analysis, and educational commentary compiled by our academic research team.
• Server hosting, high-speed CDN delivery, and interactive web application maintenance.

3. Non-Affiliation Disclaimer

Gradedeck is an independent academic resource platform operated for the benefit of high school scholars. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Gradedeck is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or officially associated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), or any individual public/private school management or society.

4. Academic Honesty & Model Study Guide Policy

All full reference project bundles, questionnaires, financial statements, and Viva Voce preparation guides provided on Gradedeck are intended strictly as exemplary models and research study aids.

Students are strongly urged and expected to exercise academic integrity by conducting their own primary investigations, verifying local calculations, and customizing findings before submitting any academic portfolio to their school mentors or external CBSE examiners.

5. Institutional Notice & Takedown Protocol

Gradedeck respects all proprietary rights and institutional reputations. If you are an authorized representative or legal administrator of an educational institution and wish to have an emblem updated with a higher-fidelity asset, or if you request the exclusion of your institution from our directory, please contact our legal desk directly:
