Disclaimer & Guidelines

1. Autonomous Network & Non-Degree Granting Status

AIPU functions strictly as an independent academic consortium, peer-networking directory, and credential verification platform:

• Not a Statutory University: AIPU is not a university, degree-granting institution, or statutory government accreditation agency (such as UGC, AICTE, NAAC, or MHRD).
• No Academic Qualifications Issued: Certificates, QR smart cards, and membership badges issued by AIPU serve exclusively as verified identity credentials and peer network recognition. They do not constitute formal academic degrees, diplomas, or statutory educational qualifications.

2. Member Guidelines & Academic Code of Conduct

All applicants and verified members are expected to uphold academic integrity across the network:

• Authentic Document Submission: Members must upload genuine, unaltered academic credentials and institutional ID proofs during the verification process.
• Prohibited Activity: Misrepresenting institutional affiliations, utilizing AIPU credentials for unapproved commercial gain, or altering QR code verification badges is strictly forbidden and subject to account revocation.
• Peer Integrity: Members utilizing the peer directory or research/ISBN support features must adhere to ethical standards in publishing and scholarly collaboration.

3. Third-Party Links & Website Information Disclaimer

Information provided on this portal is maintained for general informational and academic networking purposes:

• Accuracy of Information: While AIPU strives to maintain up-to-date directory information and institutional updates, we do not warrant complete accuracy or completeness of external institutional listings.
• External Hyperlinks: Our website may contain links to external university or third-party web portals. AIPU holds no responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or availability of those external platforms.

4. Verification QR System Disclaimer

The Instant QR Code Verification system provides real-time verification status for registered AIPU cardholders against our central database. While this confirms membership authenticity within the AIPU network, third-party organizations retain sole discretion over accepting AIPU cards for identity or verification purposes.
