Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026. Please have this text reviewed by your legal adviser before launch.
The service
TechNest provides technology services and operates as an independent registration partner for NERD. TechNest is not NERD or a government body.
NERD registration
- You must provide accurate information and genuine documents. Incorrect or false information may lead to rejection.
- The fee you pay is TechNest's service fee. Payment does not guarantee acceptance by NERD.
- A registration is shown as Completed only after NERD's confirmation has been received and recorded.
- Where a registration is rejected or a payment was taken in error, TechNest reviews the payment for refund.
Accounts
Keep your password confidential. Café Operators are responsible for the accuracy of registrations they submit on behalf of students and must hold the student's consent.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the portal, attempt unauthorised access, or upload unlawful or harmful files. We may suspend accounts that breach these terms.
Liability
We take care to provide a reliable service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability or decisions made by third parties such as NERD, to the extent permitted by law.
